Ten on Tuesdays

1.  I bought three little bunches of silk freesia's for $1 at Michael's.  Doesn't satisfy my love for real flowers, but now there's a little burst of yellow and white in our living room.  Hooray!
2.  Last week we had a beekeeper come and remove a hive-in-process at the corner of our house.  Now, this guy wasn't very professional and is a self-taught beekeeper (not an exterminator), but this came with two pros.  First, he was a lot cheaper.  Second, he persuaded us to eat the natural honey and chew on the soft honeycomb.  Tastes like honey from a bottle, so I'm glad that's straight :)  A con is that he was very insistent on us taking a close look at the bees...
3.  I started reading "Getting Sent" (IVP) about conviction in mission and raising support based on relationships, true investment, and excitement about your ministry.  Good read.
4.  Mary and I made dal last week.  It was delicious.
5.  Speaking of dal often reminds me of India-related memories: I've been having this overload of Kolkata flashbacks.  The warm weather led me to bust out my sandals and cargo pants, which was my outfit all during debrief and orientation...
6.  Tomorrow afternoon I am crashing Empresso Coffeehouse to write a long email to Catherine and process and journal about IV staff and recent happenings.  I love coffeeshop days!
7.  I am getting really excited about IV staff next year.
8.  The roommate Lauren excitedly bought Lord of the Rings:  The Fellowship of the Ring for $12 at a local music shop.  It is now playing.  I loveeeeeeeeee this trilogy!!
9.  I haven't finished reading it though.  I'm about 2/3s through the first book!
10.  Aragorn is my favorite LOTR character.

Oh man, my lists are so random.  Well...Happy Tuesday!
