It's leap year!!! We've been given an extra day this great month of February!!! cool0012.gif

Is there anyone having their procedure done today? Wouldn't that be a hoot? Those surgiversaries would be huge...we'd have to party it up big for that Neighbor, eh?

I pulled this off the Internet:

February 29, 2008
The year 2008 is a leap year. If you look at a 2008 calendar, you will see that February has five Fridays–the month begins and ends on a Friday. Between the years 1904 and 2096, leap years that share the same day of week for each date repeat only every 28 years. The most recent year in which February comprised five Fridays was in 1980, and the next occurrence will be in 2036. February 29, the leap day, has been associated with age-old traditions, superstitions and folklore.

It seems that hundreds of years ago in England, the British government didn't officially recognize leap year February 29ths as having any
legal status. That particular day had no legal status in British law, so things such as court, contracts, etc, were not legally recognized of binding on that day.


Well Neighbors, we as WLS patients can not ignore the laws of our surgery any day...leap year or not! So let's recognize this special day as an extra focus day. Really pay attention to what's going into that mouth of yours, get your exercise in, drink all your water and take all your vitamins! Make this day count!!!

Happy Leap Year everyone! I had to look twice at Kim's post thinking, "Is it Saturday already?"

One more little tidbit about Leap Day. It is a tradition in the past that on Leap Day a lady may ask a gentleman for his hand in marriage. If he refuses her, he has to pay a large fine!

Enjoy the extra day everybody!

KIM!

What an awesome reminder!!

You are "The Sarge" love0034.gif as always, kicking our BUTTS early in the morning to get us focused! I needed that!

You have an awesome weekend. I will be gone this weekend In Redding at my Uncle & Aunt's 65th wedding anniversary! All the"Big people" (not size, just age) in my Dad's family will be there, minus my Dad. I'll be missing you all. Have a fun and LIVING weekend!

The rules always exist. But does today exist. Oh the shenanigans I could have, while following my WLS rules. I am an evil monkey!



Celadon, maybe I will get married on my train ride to NYC tonight.

party0002.gif This is as close to leaping I'll be getting this Leap year party0002.gif

I'm keeping my feet firmly on the ground at the moment.

I asked my husband to marry me on leap day 2004 and thank goodness he said yes. I wasn't too sure at the time what he'd say but I was tired of waiting for him to ask me as we'd been together for 5 years at that stage. He avoided the fine but he did have to buy my ring and he's got a life sentence!

It's actually 1 March here already and I'm going to an outdoor concert tonight featuring Tom Jones! I LOVE love0003.gif Tom Jones. (Got plenty of old knickers too throw at him too! lmao). This is a huge concert as far as this area is concerned. This winery have been holding them for about 12 years now and quite often the 25,000 tickets are sold within an hour of being released. I'm a bit worried that they're forecasting showers though. How am I going to hold an umbrella AND my drink in 1 hand? I suppose I'll just have to forego the umbrella and drink faster so it doesn't get too diluted hehe

Wish me luck. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow
