Leap Year!
Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Happy Leap Year! I feel like Leap Year is one of the most neglected/ignored holidays (is it even considered a holiday? It should be.) and that's kind of sad. I mean, it only comes once every four years right? I was thinking about it today, and I was trying to figure out a good way celebrate leap year. Thanks to Google and my own creativity (sort of) I came up with a list of 29 ways to celebrate Leap Year. Here they are:
29 Ways to Celebrate Leap Year:
1. Watch the movie Leap Year with Amy Adams and that hot Irish guy. Revel in the chick flick goodness.
2. Figure out how many Leap Years old you are.
3. If you're a woman, and in Ireland go propose to your boyfriend. You only get this chance every four years after all. Carpe diem!
4. Make a time capsule to be opened next Leap Year.
5. Make a Leap Year cake. Because cake is good. And it's Leap Year.
6. Take a leap of faith. It could be anything. Just do it!
7. Make a list of 29 things you want to accomplish by next Leap Year. Put it somewhere you can see it.
8. Buy a pet frog. (Get it? Frogs leap? Yeah it's kind of a stretch.... Oh well.)
9. Take pictures of you and your friends/family leaping.
10. Make a list of 29 things you love about someone. Give it to them.
11. Go somewhere you haven't been before. Make it a tradition to go there every Leap Year.
12. If you're rich, go to Ireland. That's where all the crazy Leap Year traditions started.
13. Go to Google and look at their Leap Year animation/cartoon thing.
14. Do 29 random acts of kindness.
15. Make a 29 minute video about Leap Year. Watch it next Leap Year.
16. See how many sit-ups you can do in 29 seconds.
17. Have a Leap Year party!
18. If you know someone who has their birthday on Leap Year call them and wish them Happy Birthday.
19. Figure out what the 29th song on your iPod is. Listen to it.
20. Predict what you will be doing next Leap Year. Write it in your journal and go back to look at it next Leap Year.
21. Play Ribbit, Ribbit, Jump. It's a different version of Duck, Duck, Goose. Except you have to hop or leap instead of run. And no you are not too mature or grown up to do this. If you feel dumb, play with little kids.
22. Try to remember what you were doing last Leap Year.
23. Have a 29 minute dance party.
24. Write a note using only 29 words.
25. Watch that video about of stupid girl who doesn't understand Leap Year. *Disclaimer: There is some offensive language in that video. So maybe just watch part of it. You'll get the gist.
26. Figure out what song is 29th on iTunes. Buy it.
27. Rejoice in the extra day you have to do your visiting/home teaching!
28. Make frog cupcakes. Again, I know it's a stretch but just have some fun with it!
29. Make origami frogs that actually jump!
Or just do nothing to celebrate. That's cool too. If you're lame.
Love, Brontë

I should have read your list a few days earlier. . . If I live to see another leap year, I'll definitely knock out a few of those.
