Tattoos
So I was watching Bones and I noticed a tattoo on David Boreanaz's wrist. It looked like a black squiggle. So I was very curious to find out what it ment. He has a Kanji tattoo on each wrist one means "Soul" and the other means "Destiny" His wife Jamie has the same tattoos...how freakin' sweet is that?!?!?!
Heres a pic of his tattoos...
Here are pics of what the symbols look like (keep in mind they can be written horizontally OR vertically)...

"Soul"

"Destiny"
I've got 4 tattoos already...
A butterfly on my hip,
A gecko on my shoulder,
A cat on my ankle,
& A chinese symbol meaning "Honey" on my lower back.
But now I really really want to get the soul tattoo and have my hubby get the same because I think it's such a sweet idea. Maybe if I can convince him to do it, we will. Either that or he'll talk me out of it

A little something
Just a little something I made with some extra time at work...
Buffy's Orbit!
My hubby found this some place and emailed it to me. I think its neat! According to another article it is named after Buffy from the show...
"These traits make the object, nicknamed 'Buffy' after the US television series about a vampire slayer, hard to explain. 'Maybe Buffy is going to be a bit of a theory slayer,' Allen told New Scientist."
Buffy Stands Out From The Crowd

The new object's orbit compared to the orbits of several representative Kuiper belt objects. Buffy's orbit is shown in red, with a green square marking its current position. The blue triangles mark the positions of the other Kuiper belt objects whose orbits are shown.
Currently 58 astronomical units from the Sun (1 astronomical unit, or AU, is the distance between the Earth and the Sun), the new object never approaches closer than 50 AU, because its orbit is close to circular. Almost all Kuiper belt objects discovered beyond Neptune are between 30 AU and 50 AU away. Beyond 50 AU, the main Kuiper belt appears to end, and what few objects have been discovered beyond this distance have all been on very high eccentricity (non-circular) orbits. Most of these high-eccentricity orbits are the result of Neptune "flinging" the object outward by a gravitational slingshot. However, because this new object does not approach closer than 50 AU, a different theory is needed to explain its orbit. Complicating the problem, the object's orbit also has an extreme tilt, being inclined (tilted) at 47 degrees to the rest of the Solar System.
The Discovery and Follow-up
The object, which received the official designation 2004 XR 190 in the International Astronomical Union's official announcement, was discovered during routine operation of the Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey (CFEPS) running as part of the Legacy Survey on the Canada France Hawaii Telescope. For now, the discoverers are using the temporary nickname "Buffy" to identify the new object, although they have proposed a different official name in keeping with normal procedures for naming such objects.
Buffy was extracted from the mountain of Legacy Survey data (about 50 gigabytes per hour of operation) by powerful computers combing through the telescopic images and producing hundreds of candidates. Astronomers then sift through the candidates to identify the distant comets.
Although theories that explain individual objects exist, reproducing the entire ensemble of known objects with one process poses a difficult challenge to current solar system models. Because the unusual objects, like Buffy, are very rare, astronomers are still scratching the surface of the dark corners of the Kuiper belt. Future large-scale surveys that systematically explore the Kuiper belt are the only way unlock the mysteries of what happened early in the history of our Solar System.

Vacation
Today is my last day of work before I get to go on vacation for a week! Yay!
We're going to visit my in-laws in Ohio and Indiana so it's gonna be cold, cold, cold. The really sucky thing is that we're driving (I live in Florida). I'm really worried about how Shawn will be in the car on such a long car ride (he's only 17 1/2 months).
Plus we're bringing the laptop, but I don't know how much time I'm going to get to actually be on it. I'm supposed to be hanging out with the family. So I may not be on much, if you're reading my blog wondering where I've been (I doubt it but anyway) I'll be back soon!!
We're also going to go see a Colts game while we're in Indiana- I'm looking forward to that. And I'm sure I'll hear how cute Shawn is a thousand times (I LOVE that!
).
So I'll miss you all, but I'll be back by the 12th

Blah
Blah- thats how I feel today. We're so slow at work I could take a nap and no one would notice!!
At least I got a bunch of stuff submitted, and most of them have already been accepted so that should boost me up a good %.
