7 Quick Takes - May 11th



--- 1 ---

Summer is coming ... quickly!  And honestly, I cannot wait - well, actually, I'm most excited for the end of July!  That's when I have a weekend free - BUT WAIT, no ... then I have a lock-in, a weekend off, another lock-in, and then a week before school begins again.  What happened here?  How did my schedule get SO jammed packed?

Experiencing Charlotte ... for the first time!  I had a visitor two weeks ago and had no idea where to go around town, so I summoned my girls and we're going to start exploring.  The first adventure was to Cabo Fish Taco in NoDa.

It was DELICIOUS!  We had to wait about 50 minutes for a table on Saturday night since they don't take reservations.  But once we got in there, the service was amazing and the food was even better!  I had the Tavaroo Tuna Tacos and the wasabi sauce created an awesome fire in your mouth while eating the tuna!  Delicious!  I will definitely return - and under $20 for dinner, an 'El Cheapo' margarita, two tacos with sides, 'free' chips & salsa, and tip.  Not bad for a night on the town!

Afterward we decided to knock another destination off our list and had desserts at Amelie's French Bakery.  WOW, it was amazing!  The 4 of us shared 7 desserts and it was so close to Heaven!  It's so fun in there, very eclectic and the rooms go on, and on, and on, and on...forever!


Great fun was had by all!

The pleasure of recommendation letters was mine this week as I wrote them for 4 of the 5 teens applying for our Diocesan Youth Advisory Council.  I was struggling a bit - not because I didn't want to recommend them, but more because I was trying to come up with the appropriate words to adequately express what I really wanted to say.  Then, I had to write a second set of them...so much recommending!

A Vacation and a retreat need to be more on the top of my priority list.  I was trying to find 3 days and 2 nights to go away with my friend MG as a 'welcome to summer' and 'congrats on finishing your first year as a ym' present for us each.  However, I don't have the time until about July!  Unbelievable...I need to get a better grip on my schedule, that's for sure!

Dominican Sisters help to staff our Faith Formation and Children's Enrichment Preschool program here at my Church.  Sr. Gloria and Sr. Edeva are so cute!  Today they brought rice and adoba for lunch, and I brought salad.  So we divided everything into threes and had a lunch party in my office!  Definitely the highlight of my week!!!

NAS: A Day in the Life

It's 2015 and Tuesday so that means that we are back at the Not Alone Series !  A huge thanks to Jen and Morgan for hosting and for helping all of us ladies gather together to remember that we aren't broken, we aren't alone, and we are loved by God. Let's get back in the swing by sharing what our typical day is like! Tell us however you like, minute by minute or a blurb about your day! Be sure to answer these questions:  - What is your favorite part of your day? - What is your least favorite part of your day? - Are you making any changes to your daily routine now that the new year has begun? Well my typical day use to be not so typical, but then I took a huge leap and got a new job that is a lot eaiser to have a routine that is pretty set.  I am someone who loves routine, I crave stability, and although I can make changes into my routine, they have to be determined by me to stick.  So a typical day? I set my alarm to go off at 6:46am, I get ou...

NAS: Travel

How do you travel as a single lady?! Any tips or tricks you'd like to share? Do you have anything fun planned for this year? Multiple times per week when I'm brushing my teeth in the morning I think about how boring my life is, how I never go anywhere. To be honest that is a complete and utter lie. I mean between July 2013 and March 2014, I hung out on four different continents - let along the time I spent traveling around the U.S. to Denver, New York City, Savannah, Orlando, and my parent's place. I'm the girl who bought a plane ticket to Africa and went into the bush all alone. (it's a great story ) Let me type that again - I went to the Congo, alone! I still can't even believe that I did that - it's the craziest thing ever ... but the most amazing experience of my life. So my off the cuff tips for traveling alone, they aren't super original, so be prepared to be underwhelmed! If you want to go somewhere, just do it - buy the ti...

NAS: The Rosary & The Single Life

October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, so we wanted to honor Mary and reflect on her help during this time of singleness. How have you called on her intercession before? What is your relationship with our Blessed Mother like? If you don't know much about Mary or the Rosary, is there something keeping you from getting to know her? There are two things that keep me sane as a single lady.  One of them is the rosary and the other is this: So I try to stick with the Rosary on most days!  And today is a special feast for Our Lady of the Rosary  so it's great that Morgan and Jen chose October 7th to talk about it!   A few years ago I was in a Women's Bible study and Immaculee  came to speak in Charlotte at our Eucharistic Congress.  A woman who I was very good friends with was with me and a few other ladies at lunch at the best Chinese Restaurant in Huntersville!  She asked me if I was praying the Rosary for my husband.  I said, ...
