Happy Leap Day!

I never understood why every four years, we have an extra day in February. What's the point? I guess it's to keep sync with the seasons and the way the earth moves. Without it we probably would have said that the season right now is Summer but it's really Winter. Thanks to Julius Caesar for the extra day. It may be cool to those who are born on Leap Day. They are called "leapling". Imagine if you're 64 years old, you would be really celebrating your "sweet 16th" birthday. How cool is that? Although, in England and Hong King, it's probably frustraing for those who has to wait until March 1st to celebrate the offical age. What if you are in Ireland, the ladies are allow to propose to the man of her dreams (on this day only). So watch out men...you just might have to accept her bravery for proposing or else you'll have to pay her back with money or a dress. Depending on where you are. Whatever you are doing on this day, be sure to enjoy it! There might be a restaurant deal such as subway's free cookies. :) Go ahead. Take a bath, read a good book, do something fun with the kids, or go on a spontaneous date with your sweetie! Take advantage to have fun even though it may feel like another normal day. There's 1,460 more days until the next Leap Day. Enjoy and don't forget to leap as high as you can...for no reason at all. :)
