Blogthing of the Day
| You Are Charming and Impassioned |
 You are easily distracted. You prefer to multitask, and you're always adding a new task to your list. You have a positive attitude. You try to keep a sunny disposition, even when life is getting you down. The potential for great leadership is there, as long as you don't abuse it. You have a lot more power over people than you might think. |

| You Are a Bit of a Nonconformist |
 You are agreeable... to a point. You know when it's time to do your own thing. You may seem to go with the flow, but you always keep your own interests in mind. You are easygoing and trusting. However, you are too sensible to be manipulated. |

| You Are a Hedonist |
 You don't have an old fashioned bone in your body. You're all about what's modern and new. You are at times a bit irresponsible. You prefer living in the moment to worrying about tomorrow. You find other people to be a delight. You rarely complain about your friends. |

Lab chimps see daylight for first time in 30 years
Yes, a happy day and yet I find my eyes full of tears. And I couldn't even watch the video.

Blogthing of the Day
| You Are Somewhat Loyal |
 You're all about second chances, but if someone or something screws up enough - you're out of there. You have a clear and fair sense of the world. You aren't necessarily going to side with someone just because they are close to you. Right and wrong mean more to you than personal alliances. Justice trumps loyalty for you. |

| Doing Your Own Thing Makes You Happy |
 You have a delightful and colorful inner world. People would be stunned if they could see inside your head. You get a lot of laughter out of life, and others are surprised by how easy it is to make you happy. You have no desire to lead or follow. You prefer to not be a part of the crowd. |

Update
It looks like blogger did finally get around to fixing my blog. Nice to have the day off though since I was at the hospital with someone until 1 a.m., turned out to be nothing, but it took 8 hours there to find that out. :-) Things should be back to normal tomorrow.

Blogger still hasn't fixed my glitch!
I know it is a glitch because some others are having the same problem. Should be OK if you are using IE, but is messed up in Chrome and FF. I reported it at the forum, but I guess I need to send in a formal report.
Dream
I had a weird UFO dream last night. This is kind of a reoccurring dream because I remember having a similar one at least once before, only in it I was at home and I didn't remember as much about it. This one I had right before I got up so I remember it all:
I don't know where I was, but I think I was on vacation and staying in some hotel or condo. I am on the second floor and in the room is a huge window. Like at least 6 feet long by 4 feet. Britton has gone somewhere and I am bored so I get up and look out this window. It is not daytime, starting to get dark, but the sky is still somewhat bright. I notice 3 contrails forming, but I can't see anything that is forming them. Suddenly something zips across the sky so fast that I can't see what it is, but it leaves a huge contrail. Then I look back to the 3 that were forming and what is forming them appears. Three square shaped craft, they kind of look like pie boxes and they are white in color. I go and grab my camera which is on a table in the room, but when I get back to the window the crafts go over the top of the building and I can no longer see them. So I run downstairs and outside to see if I can still see them from there and take some photos.
When I get down there all holy hell breaks loose and suddenly it is like that Nuremberg woodcut, there are all kinds of crafts of different shapes and sizes. A big silver saucer, a large black triangle, cylinders, orbs and more of the pie box crafts, only these are white with black racing like stripes. These pie box crafts are making noise unlike the earlier ones and I remember thinking that they must be earthly crafts. I am trying to take photos but my camera is not working - it is not clicking when I press the button. So I turn on the video, which seems to be working and the crafts are flying so low that it doesn't matter that I can't use zoom with the video. About this time I notice that there are other people out walking around. A few of them look at me strangely, but nobody is even bothering to look up at the sky to see what I am filming. I remember being very irritated by that.
When all the crafts seem to be gone I go back inside and I am anxious to view my video on the computer. When I get back to the room the curtains are shut for some reason and I don't bother to open them. As I am about the hook the camera to my computer it suddenly gets really windy and the curtains are blowing like crazy. I still have my camera in my hand and I walk over to them, maybe to close the window and suddenly there is a bright light right outside of it and I realize that is what is causing them to blow - some sort of craft. I also realize that something is trying to come in! Coming through the curtain I see what I can only describe as an arm, but it isn't flesh, it is translucent and kind of glowing. Still having my camera in my hands I click to take a photo and it actually works this time! The flash from the camera seems to scare away whatever was coming in because the light goes away and the curtains stop blowing. It was about then that I woke up.

 You are easily influenced by the world around you. You are highly sensitive to your environment. You easily feel lonely. You like to have a big social support system to count on. You change your mood frequently. One minute you're up and the next you're down - but you don't stay down for long. |

 You could spend a whole weekend studying philosophy or interesting religions. You crave enlightenment. You're very restless and bored easily. You get antsy easily... you need to wander. You are easily amused, and others find you to be quite amusing. Laughing at life is one of your favorite things. |

Stuff
Did the quick update tonight without graphics because I have been working my ass off all weekend.
FYI, if you ever have a clogged sink pipe (back in the wall) that no amount of snaking, plunging or chemicals will unclog - try sticking a pressure hose in it. Wish we would have tried that first. :-D
Other than that we have been cleaning the room we call the "library," which is basically an extra room full of bookshelves and some exercise equipment. I kept all but one of my UFO/Fortean books, but I did find a lot of cookbooks to get rid of. I decided that cookbooks without photos are really stupid. If I can't see that something looks tasty I don't feel like cooking it, so I got rid of most of the ones that didn't have photos, along with some bargain bin ones. Sometimes there is a reason things are in the bargain bins.
Hope everyone else had a more fun weekend than I did!
