Leap, Baby, Leap!

Isn't it so cool that today is February 29, leap year day?! I think it would be wickedly fun to have a birthday or something like a wedding anniversary on this date (which, apparently - according to Facebook - one of my coworkers does...). This is actually my third Leap Year post since the inception of the Fabulous B@ker Blog. You can read the first entry here , and the second entry here.
