This week I sent my DNA off for
analysis for genealogical purposes. This is a fantastic thing, with
just one little sample, the science folks can uncover the mysteries
lurking below the skin that make up the individual in all of us.
Plus it will allow you to connect with one million of the closest
cousins that you never knew you had, which hopefully, they will not
be serial killers, stalkers, Charlie Sheen, or Dracula. I cannot
wait to see if there are any hidden surprises which maybe my
grandmother neglected to tell me. Of course, since I am speaking of
my grandmother, I am sure there will not be any surprises. Since I
am such a Francophile, I am hoping for some French in my family tree,
plus the French have all those cute, little desserts. Then I love
spaghetti and Under the Tuscan Sun too, so we could go many different
ways here. I love Vikings movies and TV shows, and sometimes I feel
really powerful with yard tools on the weekends, so there you go. I
just don't know how many different nationalities can make up one
individual, but that could just depend, I suppose. Then another
question many people might ask: am I related to anyone famous...such
as Miss “Don't You Know Who I Am” Weatherspoon” 0r maybe, Mr.
“I've Had A Bit Too Much To Drink And Don't Photograph Too Well
After A Long Night” Noolte. I mean really, you just never know.
And let's not even discuss anyone named Pee Wee. Depending on one's
genetic makeup, you might have a propensity to learn some languages
easier than others; for example, maybe all those years I spent trying
to master Spanish in college should have been spent learning Ancient
Romanian Celtic? We just never know, right? The worse thing as
always is the wait....something like three weeks. So it could be
another month before I try to send Brad a message. “No really
Angie, we are related, it says so right here, or maybe I contact the
Queen, or maybe....the possibilities are endless!
