What are you doing with your extra 24 hours?

I have always been fascinated by leap year. That we have an extra day every four years so that the other years will stay in about the same season is really cool. I wonder how they figured out that they needed to do this.

Anyone remember the leap minute? They did that a number of years ago to sort out the atomic clock.

I treasure extra time that I get since I seem to not have enough for what I want to do.

So today I am going to do what I want to do with the exception of the dishes since our dish washer died last night. Right now I am soaking a bunch of glasses with milk scum at the bottom. Let's see what I can get done.

I am grateful for an extra day.

LJ Voting for this week

Of course now being in the top 50 there are a couple of twists.

I have a partner in this and our total vote count will say whether we stay or go.

My partner is the lovely adpaz and her entry is here

She and I have a lot of the same views and have been passing parenting tips between our two blogs for quite a while now. I really believe in what she said in her open topic entry and I strive to make sure that the creative side of life is always there for Caroline to play with.

Mine was on Equality. I find it interesting how many people remember the ERA debate.

So vote for us please. I promise we are both really cool people who have neat Husbands and wonderful kids.

Now the next twist is that you need to be part of the LJ Idol community to vote which is not hard to do.

You can vote here.

You can vote for all the entries that you like and I hope you like ours.

Snurched From the Almight popfiend

In comments, post up to 5 words that you think describe me. If you can't think of 5, then less is fine. But I'd like you to limit it to the first 5 that come to mind. I'm also curious to see the difference in what people who've known me for awhile think compared to those who've only known me a short time, as well as those who've met me compared to those who only know me through my [LJ].

Thanks to anyone who decides to participate and I ain't tagging anyone
