In preparation of my new home I bought new furniture, yay for new furniture, I’m excited!
Be sure to get out and try a new restaurant or have a great deal at one of your favorites. I love Seattle’s Restaurant week, it’s a great time to find a new favorite.
Seattle Restaurant Week – 3 course dinners for $28 at over 100 King County restaurants..
273 = 19,683 and 1+9+6+8+3=27
It may only be crazy to me, but still, it’s crazy.

In an effort to be closer to my recently arrived friends as well as achieve a couple new features like having my own washer/dryer and a safer building (built after earthquake regulations 
) I’m moving to Ballard. Like Lower Queen Anne, where I live today Ballard is quite walkable and supports a car-free (I wish it were care-free) life. I’m looking forward to the new neighborhood.
A few nights ago I was out at a co-worker happy-hour and a co-worker friend of mine said he’d read my blog and found it…mildly sardonic. He verified that sardonic was truly the word he intended to use and I decided that there’s no way I can go without having that attached to me some how. Thusly, in my nerdery, I ran home and registered mildlysardonic.com.

Two years ago I ran this same scan and came up with the exact same score, good to see I change about as frequently as the gray over Seattle.

Memory number 11 – Opened January 30, 2011
The memory reads: The day your mom found out she was pregnant with you she called my barber school and told me that the rabbit died? I didn’t know she had a rabbit.
I stared at this one for a while, I re-read it and then I re-read it again. I had never heard my mother talk about a rabbit. So I started wondering if this was some weird story about my birth that I had never heard. I had to go to the source to find answers. I called my mom and read the memory to her. I was expecting her to laugh. Rather, she matter of fact-ly explained to me that my Aunt Ann didn’t know that that was an old method of pregnancy testing. My mother could clearly heard the confusion in my voice because, I, had never heard this before. We then had a good laugh because my mother had to explain that “when the rabbit died, it meant the woman was pregnant”
Around 1927 it was discovered that if you injected the urine of a pregnant woman into a rabbit, there would be corpora hemorrhagica in the ovaries of the rabbit. These bulging masses on the ovaries could not be seen with out killing the rabbit to inspect the ovaries, so invariably, every rabbit died, even if the woman wasn’t pregnant. The phrase, “The rabbit died,” came to be a euphemism for a positive pregnancy test after the late 1920 and early 1930s.Today, no bunnies are sacrificed for a woman to find out if she’s pregnant. Tests today still look for Human Chorionic Gonadtropin (hCG), we have invented tests that are much easier to perform using blood or urine.
I can definitely understand my aunt’s confusion, as it continued on to me. Luckily my birth did not cause the death of any fluffy bunnies .

Memory number 10 – Opened January 29, 2011
The memory reads: EAGLE SCOUT!
If you read my previous entry about Boy Scout events you would have seen that I mentioned that I achieved my Eagle Scout rank. If you’ve ever been involved in scouting or maybe even if not, you probably know that the Eagle Scout rank is the top rank in Boy Scouts. It means you’ve put up with camping trip after camping trip plus painstakingly achieving merit badge after merit badge and loving every minute of it. I mentioned previously that I was thankful for my experiences with Scouting. The experiences and education I received through Scouting assembled a frame-work of logic and life skills that my life today and in the future relies upon. Scouting brought me close with my community, my family, and my planet. I’m so glad that my family stuck behind me the whole way to keep my focus.
