  1. My grandfather's birthday is February 29. This year he's turning 80! Usually we celebrate on March 1, but this year, it'll be a big 'do on the 29th! -Shirley

  11. Wow! What a great giveaway! I've refrained from entering any of your giveaways so far because there's always been one or two items I felt I didn't have use for, and I didn't want to keep someone else who really really wanted them from winning them. But this time, everything is something I would love to have so count me in!!

    Honestly next Wednesday probably won't be very different from any other Wednesday: time on the computer, maybe making some things, and watching a few Tv shows or movies...But now that you mention it maybe I should plan something special. It's true that February 29th only comes along every 4 years... ; ]

  22. Wednesday 29th: At work we always have staff lunch on Wednesdays and it's always delicious! I have Vinyasa Yoga @ 6pm that day as well, which always makes me feel good. Maybe I'll add something more into that day... who knows... we will see. ;)

  40. Our local school, in it's wisdom, have designated 29th as student free day. That means the teachers get a (day off) study day and mums get their kids home for the day. Darn. There goes my one day every 4 years that is just mine for me things :) Oh well, a day with my daughter having girly time could be good too.
