Why has blogging become so hard?
There - I said it. Blogging is hard. I am not sure if it is b/c we/I have become so consumed by the instantaneous nature of social media or the fact I have a rotten desk chair...I have a new chair coming soon which I hope will make sitting at my desk slightly less of a chore.
Miss A arrived home from the UK last week, enamored with the place...she had a great time in Scotland and visiting London and Brighton Beach. The good thing about her coming home 1 day before school starts full time is there was no time to do that post-travel lament that she tends to do...she is always sad to come home, that girl loves traveling...a lot. So with no real time tomake me go insane with her whining lament it has been decent around here. ha!
Sent my Ancestry DNA kit last week....really excited to see the results, though I am sure the results will be mostly non-exotic European (boring) it will still be a kick to see the percentage breakdowns...I assume mostly Scottish with some British and Irish maybe....and potentially Dutch connections....have always been curious of the origins of the surname Conklin:
Conklin is a surname of unknown origin. Spelling variations include Concklin, Conkling, Conckeleyne, Coughlin, Couglin and others.

Hopeful the Dutch connection is false haha I do not know why....I just do not identify myself with Dutch heritage at all so it would be strange to find that out...anyway, it will be most interesting...cannot wait!! With my bio-father being born in Scotland and my maternal grandmothers family being from Scotland that is all I am really sure of.
