Who Put the Extra Day in February?
Posted on February 29th, 2008 No commentsToday, this moment, in a nutshell:
- Didn’t win anything more than ‘please pay again’ with roll up the rim. I want to win the freaking car, already! Or the money. Or the GPS. Or a donut.
- Made media player glitch out.
- Rolled my change.
- Discovered that the ashtray in my car is exceedingly large and was harbouring a zillion coins. Yes! Let’s order pizza!
- Finally got my hands on the BBC version of ‘Pride and Prejudice’. Let’s see if it lives up to the super-high expectations that have been gradually created over the years. (Not likely.)
- Have one and a half days to find a baby shower gift as the one I bought a few months ago has likely been already outgrown by baby of honour.
- I don’t want to cook. I vacuumed today. Isn’t that enough domesticity?
- I now have to track down a car alternator.
- I have three parts to return.
- I have to go to circuit training alone tomorrow.
- I am unmotivated.
- My daughter doesn’t want to go anywhere this week. She didn’t even want to go to the park. There really must be something wrong with her.
- My hubby bought three boxes of cookies a few days ago and I don’t know where they went. I mean, I know. But we are all in denial. Denial, I say. Denial.
- The blogs that usually make me laugh are all about the boring business.
- Somebody put an extra day in February this year. Now whose idea was THAT? Don’t they realise that February is a short month for a very good reason—that being that February SUCKS.
-
My daughter still only weighs 35lbs. I just want her in a car booster seat and I swear it doesn’t matter how much cream I give her, she only seems to feel heavier but won’t actually get heavier. It defies the laws of gravity and weight.
-
My daughter has only one volume for singing and it is earsplittingly loud.

I discovered that this software thinks it is March 1st. It isn’t. It is Feb 29th. And it is only 5pm. I wonder what timezone this thing is in and if I can change it–or if I even care…
Later note: ordered pizza and had friends over, making it an all round wonderful day!
