7 Quick Takes Friday

7 Quick Takes Friday - June 29th

Putting together these quick takes is going to be an interesting feat for me this week.

Although I am a single gal without children, I feel overwhelmed by working and having a personal life. I cannot comprehend what it would be like to add a husband, some little ones, and an infinite amount of chaos to this already complicated existence!

This evening's activities held a spaghetti dinner, Brave, and Pink Spoon with MG, Meredith, & Ajay.

I was completely fascinated by the girls hair in this Pixar film. It seriously looks like real hair in this cartoon. Throughout the entire film all I kept thinking about was "how in the world did they do her hair like that?"

Every person I interacted with today somehow got on my nerves. I had such a hard time letting go of my own way, my own pride, and just my own stubbornness. All I wanted to do was SCREAM, not necessarily at someone or even about anything particular-BUT nevertheless, I wanted to YELL in a soundproof room and let out the pent-up frustration and begin anew!

Numb3rs is my new/old obsession! I'm almost done with the 2nd season on netflix. Confession time, I may be just a little bit in love with Charlie! He's so cute and smart in the show. Now, I know that it's not all true math that is being pulled out of thin air to solve the crimes-but I LOVE the drama and the little quirks of all the characters!

Companionship is so fundamental to our humanity. Dr. King (my moral theology professor in college not the civil rights activist from the 60s) taught us that from Latin 'con' means 'with' and 'pan' means 'bread.' So, 'companionship' means 'someone to break bread with.' We all long for this, someone to be with. After the movie we went to have some frozen yogurt and the conversation turned to guys, marriage, and babies--as it always does with this great crowd. And these thoughts about companionship come to mind whenever these topics come up. I long for someone to break bread with - someone or someones to share meals with each day for the rest of my life. Right now I usually share meals with my desk at work or my tv at home - okay company for now, but not forever!

Eventually all of these 'quick takes' add up to having more patience! Which, as you know if my ultimate problem ... still waiting for patience!

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, ...
