If there were a DHR for blogs, I'd be in trouble. I know...Baby Breaths has been woefully neglected, but I did want to drop in and say hello. As you can guess, I've been busy. Not only have I been wrapping and decorating, but I have also delved into my genealogy project from a few years back. I know, great timing, huh? But, an opportunity arose for me to do some in-depth analysis thanks to my DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) member cousin and I have been able to trace several branches of my family tree 8+ generations all the way back to Scotland, Ireland, England and Germany. Oh, and thanks to 3 certain individuals I could theoretically join my cousin in the DAR. Of course, a sizeable portion of my ancestors are natives to this land and tracing them is a whole other issue. I was given the opportunity to take an ancestry DNA test recently (long story) and there weren't many surprises there...77% European, 22% Native American and 1% African. I always knew my dad's family was Cherokee but the African was interesting. I need to do some more digging!
Okay, well enough about my ancestry. I am sure it's like looking at pictures of someone else's vacation...you don't really care. Hey, at least on the internet you don't have to feign interest. Anyway, I have lots of pressing things to do at the moment, like watching "24" in bed with a bag of Gummi Savers. Yeah. Like I said, I'm busy.
