Look Before You "Leap"


I can't not post an update today. Apart from having the February 29th time stamp on my blog, there’s that other little matter of who knows if we’ll live to see another leap year. I mean the world is going to end and all, right? A month ago SK & I made our how-do-we-find-eachother plan for when the world ends and all lines of communication are down. And by SK & I, I mean that I thought of the plan, I told him the plan and I think he nodded, somewhere between Operation Repo on TruTV and random, stupid video on You Tube. BUT, BUT there is a plan.

(Closer to the date, I’ll be getting my evacuation suitcase ready. Yes, the wedding gold is going with me.)

So, back to the post. Because I don’t really have anything exciting to write about today I’m going to do a Haiku poem about my day. A Haiku poem is a Japanese form of poetry that has seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five.

Here goes –

I made some Chi-li
for my won-der-ful hub-by
We ate mer-ri-ly



I never said it has to be clever. Brevity is not my strength.

And how unsurprising is it that the best part of my day was mealtime. Happy 29th All.

That Haiku reminded me of the game of 'Tukbandi' we played as kids:)
