So, friends, last night the maniac roommate tried to leave the rehab with her ex-boyfriend. Cops were called, screams were heard down the hall, and she left on a stretcher, bound for a mental hospital

Oh my god, Liz is even starting to look like Ed.  Blindsided, Liz? You two have broken up THIRTEEN TIMES!

My 100yo father broke up with his girlfriend because he made the wrong turn while driving her somewhere and she started yelling at him. He said she’s too excitable.

I think our raccoon roommate moved out of the attic.  I think we were too noisy for it.  I’m just happy I got to catch up on laundry—there’s an opening just above the basement/crawl space stairs to the attic and I was afraid it was going to leap on my head.

All yay for me-I finished my ProGen class, a 15-month genealogy class that is a huge step towards preparation for certification.   I turned in my three-generation kinship report last week (in other words, proving relationship from one generation to another).  That was a bear. 

Now I've set a two-year goal of getting both accreditations in genealogy (Certified Genealogist and Accredited Genealogist).

A fear is never funny, but the picture in my head of a live raccoon hat made me laugh.

That is fantastic! Good for you! Do people buttonhole you at parties now and tell you about their ancestry, or ask for your help with family trees?

Will we get to see you on Dateline where they pinpoint family trees on cold cases to find the killer?

Ashley will be thrilled at the opportunity to criticize Manuel to whoever will listen. And she has to scream it because she was a middle chid and no one ever listened to her.

Expand  

She is just so awful. I mean, Manuel's awful too but she is just beyond awful. She never has one kind word to say about him, and spends her entire life telling anyone who'll stand still long enough what's wrong with him.

I’m done with Liz. If she’s too blind to see the red flags, there’s nothing else to say.

Expand  

Her whole life is a red flag. 

Of course Ed drives a big old Jeep. What a fucking poser. 

Now he's going to let a single manly tear roll down his greasy cheek. He sickens me.

Oh all the time!  "I want to know about my Uncle John" "What do you know about him?" "Nothing".  Step 1-decide one thing you want to know about Uncle John.  Step 2-gather everything you already know (and how you know it).

Or my favorite-"Grandma said her grandmother was a Cherokee princess!"  "My grandfather's name was so unreadable it was changed at Ellis Island".  "I'm descended from George Washington".  The first two are myths; the last is false-he didn't have any descendants (but his wife's descendant by marriage was a rather famous Confederate general).

I love what I do, Cherokee princesses included :).

My husband swears one of his ancestors was a Blackfoot "princess". I roll my eyes and change the subject. And I have had endless fun debunking the Ellis Island name change thing. 

One of my ancestors (great grandfather on my dad's side) was known as "Contrary Joe" Davis. You have no idea how much joy that brings me.

Did anyone get to see the northern lights? It's been too cloudy here. 

Expand  

I totally missed them, though lots of my local friends posted some lovely photos of them, so they were visible here.

I just hope there aren’t any other patrons at the coffee shop having to watch this melodrama play out.

(nudge) "Hey, Cindy, check it out, I didn't know there was entertainment here!"
