The rare 29th of February

This last week, my mind has continued to jump back to thoughts of, "This time last year...". I guess that's because my life, in the course of one year, has taken on such a different look yet really is still very much the same as it always was, and it's kind of fun to compare.

And you know what, today I can't think about how much more will be changed one year from today because today is LEAP DAY! I can only ponder what my life will be like 4 years from today. Or what I was up to 4 years ago, which was when I was a senior in college and so I was probably freezing cold in Wyoming and watching Bloomberg  and depending on what day of the week it was I likely attended a hockey game that night or baked a cake or had a Top Model marathon with my roommates. Hard to say.

We (world) are currently making up for the fact that we neglect a quarter of a day each year that should really exist. Good for us for being semi-responsible keepers of time. Also, aren't we clever in America to have Presidential elections during leap years? It makes it really easy to remember either that it's a leap year or that it's an election year, depending on which you tend to better remember.

I hope you do something fun and kinda quirky today and enjoy the extra 24 hours of 2012 :)
