Leap Year also known as Topsy Turvy day

[RetroBabydoll]

What is everyone doing on Feb. 29th to celebrate Leap Year Day? Do any of you have birthdays on this day? Do you have special traditions? Are any ladies going to propose to their man?

Isn't that also known as Sadie Hawkins Day? It's Ladies' Choice!
Or, you could see a performance of Pirates of Penzance.
Edit: I just Googled. My mistake. Sadie Hawkins Day is the first Saturday after Nov 9th. Same idea, tho.
But you can still see Pirates of Penzance.

It's like Sadie Hawkin's, but that event is in November. I think they got the idea from Leap Year day. I found some more information about Sadie Hawkin's day on wikipedia.

It just happens to be on Leap Day, but it's vintage!



I will be wearing my own Rhapsody in Blue.

Gershwin is my idol and that dress is stunning. You're very, very lucky!

I'll be in work as normal.... I wish it was a public holiday or something. No plans other than the usual Friday routine - ork all day, head home, eat and then fall asleep in front of the gogglebox.

I don't work Fridays, but I will be doing my timed essay (exam) thingy on 29th. Then I shall have a nap

I'm taking the day off work and going camping. This has nothing to do with leap year, just taking advantage of an opening in my schedule. I have not camped in the winter in several years and am excited to head out.

Aww! There'll be other chances. I've been sort of suffering through parts of it ever since Christmas; my dad plays third trumpet, and he's been practicing. A lot. I knew he was improving when I could recognize parts of "An American in Paris."

I have a friend that will be "10" years old. My family will be celebrating her birthday. Her children are around my kid's ages, which is older than she is.

Sincerely,
The Wolf

I'm working. How exciting! Maybe I'll be rack up some karma points and order a pizza for everyone at my work or bring in cookies.

My good friend was born on a leap day. She celebrates on the first of March.

the usual Friday routine - ork all day

Do you ork cows? Or do you leave that to your cow-orkers? lol

Well I know earlier in the year I had asked opinions on FL and gotten some great advice about the idea of proposing to my fella. After talking thru many many things, I won't be doing it. He's a traditional guy and I believe wants to do the asking himself. I actually think that it will come someday (not years from now as I once believed). Now I just tease him that he better be ready for it tomorrow. My teasing has probably made him that much less nervous about taking the step himself. He knows I will say yes when the time comes. After some really terrific advice (I think it was MidFogey), I thought about whether I would regret being the one who asked - and I think I might of. I'm a goon who wants the big romantic gesture I suppose.

I now say - well I'm not waiting for the next leap year to come - so you better get your act together. Then we roll on the floor laughing.

Catching a flight home for a MUCH needed break from school...and perhaps some swingin' (dancing, that is) if I'm up to it.

Did you say 'orc'?

 

[mrswheats]

We're attending a Topsy-Turvey party tomorrow night; the invitations have drawings of ladies proposing on them

So what happens if your birthday is on a leap day? Do you just not celerate your big day because it doesn't "exist" all the non-leapyear- years?

I believe they switch the birthday to February 28 or March 1, but they technically are 4 years old when they turn 1. If that makes sense.

I've always wished I had a Feb 29 birthday!
