I Take Back My Happy Leap Day Wishes!
February 29th, 2008
Okay, earlier this morning I blogged offering warm wishes of a great Leap Day. I gave some history and tried to build some excitement. I take all my good wishes back!
It is now almost 9:30 AM and Leap Day has been a complete bust so far. What is with this holiday this year? Has everyone lost their Leap Day spirit? What is next, no Arbor Day?
Here is how the day has gone wrong so far:
- I ran downstairs in my pajamas this morning and there were NO gifts under the Leap Day tree. Way to go Dale!
- I turned on the TV and could not find the Leap Day Parade on any of the major networks. Maybe Bravo or Oxygen is carrying it this year?
- I checked the backyard and the Leap Day Frog did not leave me any eggs or other goodies with candy inside.
- None of the neighbors have their Leap Day flags up. What the hell? Don’t they care about the holidays?
- For some reason, Dale has NOT started on cooking the traditional Leap Day Dinner of frog legs and tator tots. The day is going to be ruined.
- For some reason the banks, schools and Post Office are still open. Hello! Don’t we take these days off???
All I have to say, is when I get dressed up tonight in my Leap Frog costume and go door to door, the neighbors better have candy for me.
Happy Leap Day! For what ever it is worse. I hope you are at least doing something Leap Day-ish where you are.
