  • Who Put the Extra Day in February?

    Posted on February 29th, 2008 jean No comments

    Today, 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!  :)
