Boxes are ALL unpacked

I FINALLY unpacked the last 3 boxes filled with books and papers. I looked through each of these when I was searching for my glasses BUT of course I didn't find them UNTIL NOW. So now I have 2 pairs of glasses with the current prescription. At least the frames I got aren't dated. I still like these BUT they were very contemporary when I broke my leg AWHILE ago before my mother moved here probably in 2006. They are red and I wore them now just to see how they felt AND they feel AND still look great. I WISH I found them before.

My rooms are looking great AND are definitely more functional. My guest room is looking like a room now FINALLY. My coats, jackets, boots and suitcases all fit in the closet and there's still more space. I need to get used to my steamer then I can take my iron and ironing board to my mother. I'm not sure if she can use it but I bought those new so I want to see if she wants them before I give them to DI. It's a steam iron but it still requires just as much work ironing as normal irons. I need to try my steamer today. I'm doing laundry, cleaning and then there's dinner with Mark and the sisters tonight.

There's a mid-singles Wolverine outing that sounds great BUT I really don't need to see that and I can't see spending on a movie I'm not that excited to see when there's so much to watch on tv or just online.

Looking through my papers I came across my Myer-Briggs personality test stuff. What I like about the Myer-Briggs test is it is well-researched and a lot more detailed than the other pop-psychology stuff. My first library school class made us all take the test. I am an INTJ BUT I frequently test ENTJ also. My J characteristic is extremely strong. I answer almost ALWAYS in the J area. The NT are also consistent. We had two adjuncts that did A LOT of work with MBTI-inventory. Keith told me I was an ambivert when I told him my inconsistent testing problem. That means I am both an intovert AND extrovert.

What I like about both the INTJ and ENTJ is that they both describe me well. It is why I give it as much attention as I do. For my professor to force me and my class to take it and then for Keith and Pam our adjuncts who used to teach/work at USU and the University of Idaho to give it the credit they did encouraged me to look into it more. I remembered the test dubbed one of the profiles the engineer so I looked it up. It is INTP. Interesting. I read the characteristics and they seem to fit my friend to a T but he never took the test so there's no way to really tell although it seems pretty accurate to me.

I don't remember exactly what he said when I first asked him about it but I know while he's heard of it he has a very limited and inaccurate understanding of what it is.

Mosiah 11

 24 Yea, and it shall come to pass that when they shall acry unto me I will be bslow to hear their cries; yea, and I will suffer them that they be smitten by their enemies.
 25 And except they repent in asackcloth and ashes, and cry mightily to the Lord their God, I will not bhear their prayers, neither will I deliver them out of their afflictions; and thus saith the Lord, and thus hath he commanded me.
Whenever I read about king Noah I think of Arnold Frieberg's picture of him, the old but muscular prophet Abinadi, the tigers the artist added and the wicked priests along with the sole convert Alma. The original paintings are housed in the conference center. I don't know of a better place to display them. I enjoyed telling people about them when I'd give tours there. 
Followers of Christ - Dallin Oaks
Jesus’s teachings were not meant to be theoretical. Always they were to be acted upon.
Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice but a continuous commitment and way of life that applies at all times and in all places. 

In His last biblical teaching, our Savior directed His followers to take His teachings to every nation and every creature.

There is a new Tongan sister now. Her name is Sis. Sonasi. She is straight from Tonga so it was especially fun for me to talk to her. Mark has some nice pictures hanging in his house and he let us uncover his couch. It is very comfortable. I need a couch like that. This love seat is really done. I can feel the springs with my foot if I push the sides. I am very grateful to have it however. A couch might make more sense in my space. 

The sisters asked if me and Mark were going to get married. I said no but then Mark looked taken aback when I said that so I had to back track and say how Mark had many women to choose from. I like how he hung his pictures and his clock. He knows how to decorate that way at least. Most people can't do that for some reason. 

I shouldn't have worried about him asking me out because he didn't. It was nice to have free dinner. He gave me his waffle iron because he told me he was tired of it and I had mentioned I needed to buy one. His house looked a lot better this time. 

He is so sweet and I'm glad he's my friend. He is so random. In his prayer he asked to bless us at and then he recited his entire address.He is awkward in an innocent pure way.
