What's new?

What's new? Not too much.  I practiced a large dose of apartment therapy this weekend, and let's just say... my apartment feels about a zillion times better- home is the haven of my soul. 

I discovered my blood type from the last time I gave blood and nearly passed out doing so.  After giving blood I didn't feel back to myself for probably three days.  Still, I like the idea of giving my blood to help save someone's life.  I am blood type A positive, and according to Japanese tradition, I am a "farmer".  I read the personality type, and it jives pretty well with me.  I think it's so interesting that the Asian world bases much of their interactions on it. 

I opened a free account to Dave Ramsey "Every Dollar Matters".  I listen to him two hours out of my work day now, and I enjoy him a great deal.  My days circle around the radio- John Jay Justus (local Tucson), Dave Ramsey, the World on NPR.  Once in a while a little country or K Love.

The Tucson Bus Strike continues- day 35.  Personally, I notice that I am much happier not riding, but I feel badly for the people that are suffering because the city is so weak in leadership. 
So many big things are going on in the world- the Syrian refuge crisis touches me so, and I am looking into ways to do something. 

Still reflecting on the message from Sunday.  I like the idea of putting all my self into the offering plate.  Also, each ingredient to make a chocolate cake can taste pretty awful by itself, but in the end- after being stirred and baked with time- it works out and tastes sweet.  A clever reminder of God working all things out for good in our lives.

Grilled out, played cards, and watched some fantastic movies this weekend.  I'll be honest- a lot of tear jerkers.  Unbroken, Home Front, The Man from Nowhere! Some intense movies! But it also felt good to laugh myself to oblivion with Tyler Perry's movie, A Madea Christmas.  It felt so, so good to laugh!

I finally have a couch...
