DIAGRAM is fresh.

The lack of rain here is getting to me, sorry. This weekend I talked to my sister, in Arizona, and she said yeah when she moved out there it got to her too. And still does. I now know, definitively, that I absolutely could not live in a desert. If it doesn’t rain this week I’m going to have to take a break, seriously.

Have you ever taken the Myer Briggs? What is your type? I took that in college (twice) and some other tests to see what careers would be a good match. I kept getting “military officer” or “clergy” hahaha. At times I do seem to have a sign on my forehead that makes even strangers in the grocery store want to confess to me & expect some sort of absolution. It is very strange.

My sister got “circus performer.” (LOL. From that Strong test, for careers.) And so did my friend Chris.

I’m trying to guess your Myer Briggs type, fellow bloggers but it is hard since I don’t really know you. Just your blog. Maybe blogs should have MBTIs ha & I am just trying to type your blog ha.

I think Anne is the same as me because we mentioned this before a long time ago if I remember right so I will guess INFJ. We have that library school thing in common, anyway.

Collin seems like he has some extroverted kick-ass organizational skills going on. I would guess some kind of E–J. ESFJ?

My friend Carol and I are like totally opposite so I think ESTP ha.

Reb, too. We seem like the opposite too.

My friend Jessica and I are a lot alike but I would guess ENFP.

Hmm. The doctors. That is hard because I know they are Drs. and that is influencing my guesses — Peter I would guess as ISFJ because he seems to like to be low-profile and C Dale ISFP because his external environment seems important to him.

Jeffrey I would guess ISTJ because of those magazine lists. And a separate recipe section.

You can tell me if I am full of shit - and I probably am. hahahahah

I’ll guess more if I do better than what random guesses would figure out to be.
