Hanford Photos Part 1
We attended this tour on May 15th at 8 in the morning. My Grandfather was scheduled to aid as a tour guide, but unfortunately was ill. BUT... on the bus ride back he was talking in the video they showed. I was full of pride.
The last photos shows you a glimpse of the size of the reactor.
The tour was pretty awesome. I loved all of the items from that time period displayed and the video about women's roles at Hanford.
We recommend this tour to all.

Dancing Lessons: Phase 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpmILPAcRQo
Ok, so we've entered Syllabus B of Ballroom Waltz, Yay for us! I didn't think we would make it this far, but we have, and we are getting way better! We still look like two seals fighting over a grape (someone said that to me, I wish I could remember who or about what) but at least it's better than nothing. The above link is what we could look like if you were really, really, REALLY drunk.

PAC MAN + GOOGLE= FREAKIN' BEST DAY EVER FOR SEARCHING!
The Google logo changes almost daily, which I enjoy. Today though, is the best of all, the PAC MAN 30th Anniversary! You can actually play PAC MAN on the Google Logo. How awesome is that?! Now, I would love to stay and chat about how much I love the Google Logo and how much I love PAC MAN, but this is a one day thing, so gotta go fight me some ghosts!

Staring Contest
I heard once that an animal that respects you will look away, I like to test this theory on my cat almost daily. I fear that the years of living a privileged life have made her feel entitled and superior. This is something I can't let happen, even if other people might think it's true. Yes, I answer her every call, and let her do naughty things, and have a tendency to be too "tired" or "unaware" to punish her, but eye contact is something I will have the last stand on. Today I was cooking spaghetti for dinner and felt eyes watching me. I looked around and didn't see Ryan but still felt a presence. Eventually I spotted Binx sitting by the door staring at me. It was very ominous, and I felt...well, disturbed, especially with the piece of cat hair hanging from her mouth that made her look like she had a goatee. I decided this was a perfect moment to teach her about staring at people without them knowing. So I looked deep into her Egyptian green eyes as she stared back into mine. This continued for 10 seconds. Neither of us blinking. Neither of us turning away. It felt as if time was standing still, the little hand on the clock began to tick backwards, and a thin line of sweat began to bead on my upper lip. Would today be the day she finally asserted her dominance on my life? That she would take her little black paw and grab me by the back of my scalp and shove my face in her kitty litter saying, "Scoop It!" No! I scoop of my own FREE WILL! I will not give in! She must have felt my mind bolt because at that moment she looked down. I had been victorious another day.
