Ice and genes
Today sucked at work. Frustration mounted to the point where I had to fix something, ANYTHING, and I ended up jumping the gun and pissing people off. It was minor, but the reaction was huge and disheartening.
Enough of that though. The coldness continues here and the roads are icy and dangerous in a lot of spots. We ventured out today for lunch, but stayed in otherwise. I dug through the freezer of doom and I'll be making a big pot of chili tomorrow since we're expecting some more snow tomorrow and a continuation of freezing temps. The weather has been really fun (since we don't commute), and a nice reminder of why we don't live elsewhere :)
And now for the genes, last month while watching The Dog Whisperer, the National Geographic Channel had an ad for the Genographic Project. I went to the website and it sounded absolutely fascinating. I was a little put off by the $107 price tag per kit, but genetic testing doesn't come cheap. We got the test kits right before our trip a few weeks ago, and I put off doing it. Richard's been bugging me to get it done, so tonight we did our first cheek scrapings. This wasn't the cute long Q-tip they show on CSI, but a hard scraper with a jagged edge. After a minute of cheek scraping it kind of hurts :)
