It's Sadie Hawkin's Day!!!

It's early morning--really early--like 1:30 a.m. I am up a bit longer than I usually am. That is because I took a long nap this afternoon, so I am not as tired as I should be by this time. So I have been playing around with my blog layout and getting things set up a to be a little more fun and interesting.
Talking about interesting. This is the beginning of Leap Day 2008! That means it is Sadie Hawkins Day. How many of you had a Sadie Hawkins Day Dance at your high school? I think I was in 8th grade if I remember right. So, if you never had one, what is it? It is one of those backwards things where the ladies ask the guys to be their escorts for the dance.
For those of you who, like myself, who didn't know who Sadie Hawkins was or how this Leap Day became Sadie Hawkins Day, check out these links for more information. And if there is some special man somewhere in your life, and you would like to ask him out....now's your chance. Well, nowdays, there isn't the big issue about having to wait for the man to ask the woman. But if you are still the old fashioned type...this is your day.
