Yay!
I think my dinner is going to be a handful of peanuts and followed softly by going to bed.

person I had been storage stuff for in my garage just came and picked up 90% of it. YAY!!
And she is buying a bed and dressers from me and took the bed tonight. I am letting her pay me for it over time and I hope it doesn't bite me in the ass, but I guess it being gone and used is ok and if I get the money, then good.

ION - my parents gave each other DNA testing as gifts and mom just did hers.
61.1% British & Irish, 8.1% French & German, 7.3% Scandinavian, 19.7% broadly Northwestern European, 2% Southern European, 1% Iberian, 1% broadly Southern European, and 1.9% broadly European.
WE ARE SO WHITE. LIKE WHITEY MCWHITE on white bread with mayo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha! I kind of want to do one of those.
I went out to dinner and it was delightful! I'm glad to have met these women.

I did 23 and Me and my dad did National Geographic. Pretty much what we expected, although his soupçon of Native American was confusing until we found the footnote saying Native Siberian might show up like that. Walter's was the one that was surprising since absolutely everyone was sure he was a Border Collie mix and he turned out to be German Shorthaired Pointer with nonstandard coloring and too long hair.

I'm interested in doing one of these. There's one that hits Groupon (or whichever non-Groupon discount site) periodically for about 30 or 40 bucks, but on closer examination, they seem to only break it down to African, Southeast Asian, European, and Native American - I could hand pretty much anybody less money than that and they could tell me with confidence that I'm neither African nor Asian (though my tiny sliver of Native American might surprise them). I just haven't pulled the trigger yet on the $100 ones.

OMG that's weird. But there was a graphic that went around last year with pictures of dogs, and what their DNA said they were, and the difference between what they looked like and what their background actually was, was AMAZING. So Walter is not unusual in that!
I am tempted to do the 23&Me thing, except if it doesn't come back 100% Irish background, that will mean there was some serious shenanigans in the family history, and I'm not sure I can handle that.
In other news, I had to smuggle a bottle of JD out of Dad's room today because he bought it at Target yesterday and it's not on his doctor's orders... Sigh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, I got'cher white bread with mayo right here. I did the 23 And Me test and it came back like 98% British and 2% Scandinavian. NONE MORE WHITE

Punishingly Intricate
The genetic test I did came back 100% white girl and even more Irish then I was expecting. Our dog's test was fascinating, though. 1/4 beagle and 1/4 treeing walker coonhound on one side which is totally what she looks like. The other half was 1/4 Rhodesian Ridgeback and 1/4 Llasah Apso which makes no sense!
