Leap Morning

I'm too Excited to Sleeeeeep.  Not sure that is totally the case, but 3:30am rolled around this morning, and apparently I was ready to be awake.  I'm quite disapproving of this, but despite many efforts, I decided to just accept it.

I feel as though my mind and body is a bit restless for the following reasons.  

1. Its the end of the month.  (Big deal for us at work).  We wrap up the month, either hit or miss our revenue goals, I have to do Inventory, and get things set up to rock the next month. 

2. Its a LEAP DAY!  Sweet.  I'll get back to this later in the post. 

3. I have a Chiropractic appointment at 8:15 in Eagan.  I've been in quite a lot of discomfort for 2-3 weeks now, so I'm really looking forward to getting some of these issues resolved. 

4. Its a big ol' slushie outside right now, and I'm anticipating a rather interesting commute to work.  

(3. and 4. combined: I can't just leave for work early, go in and get stuff done and my commute out of the way, because I have my appointment in Eagan. Argh).

5. My body woke me up.  Both my bladder and my stomach.  I was hungry and had to urinate.

6. Conversely to #1, a new month is upon us.  And MARCH at that!  I love new starts, and could use one. 

7.  Two of my FAVORITE people are coming to town this weekend.  Brianna Joy & Leah Lien.  We are going to be doing more wedding planning/shopping, some quality girl time, loads of laughing, etc. etc.  So excited!

8. Did I mention that I got hungry?  (and that I don't like ending numbered lists on an odd number)

Wiki - Leap Year Info  I was reading up on Leap Year and Leap Day, as today is February 29th.  For those of you that DO NOT know: a complete revolution around the sun (a year), takes 365 days and 6 hours.  So every 4 years, there is an accumulation of an extra 24 hours.  Therefore, we have a LEAP DAY.  Score.  There is a bunch more math and historical science that goes with all that, but that is essentially what it is all about.  What I found most entertaining was in the Folk Traditions section.

Apparently there is a popular tradition that women may propose marriage to a man on February 29th.  So all you fellas, beware.  Your significant other may take advantage of this Leap Day and get down on one knee.  Maybe I should go wake Peter up right now too.  He He. 

Well, I know one thing, I'm going to need some major coffee to get me through today.  Good thing there is a BOGO deal today at Caribou.  Have a great bonus day, and Happy Birthday to all those Leaplings!
