7 Quick Takes Friday

7 Quick Takes Friday - July 27th

--- 1 ---

Went to Sam's Club this afternoon. Didn't realize the Idiot Convention was in town - not to be rude, but it was full of the most ridiculous people in the area! People were driving crazy in the parking lot, parking on the side walk to 'run in quick to get something', etc... WHO, can run into Sam's and just get something real quick? Get in a parking place for Pete Sake! Glad it was a short trip (just 10-15 minutes)!

Made a steamed artichoke for the first time last night! It was good, but not as good as I remember it being the last time I had them at the Antonacci's (YEARS ago!).

Just got a picture of the washing! Was too delicious to stop eating!

The gals and I went to BLT Steak last Saturday night - OH MY WAS IT DELICIOUS!!! Amazing! Wish I could go back and eat there again - sadly the check book doesn't allow for that!

MG, me, Dev, & Mer - the best friends a gal could have!!!

Tonight's our Holy Hour in Thanksgiving for Fr. Remo and to pray for the new pastor of our parish. I hope that people join us in prayer and don't get too crazy emotional! Also, that some teens actually attend, yeah - that'd be awesome!

I must have a death wish! After being away all last week, I now have a Lock-In scheduled for this weekend for my Middle School students. I hope that people attend, which I'm a tad bit worried about. But we've got glow sticks, tie dye kits, and TONS of food! So we're ready for anything!

Also - 4 days into my 5K training. I'm having a little apprehension, but I think I'll be able to do it. I enlisted MG to run/walk with me so we are in search of a race in the September or October area. I hope I can actually accomplish this and prove to myself that it's possible for me!

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 out o

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

I Look Into my Inbox and What Did I See?

I receive the weekly notes from the Catholic Match Institute since my unsuccessful dabble in Online Dating some time ago ( link ) and today's included the face of one of my favorite priests. A man who helped me become the Catholic woman, for better or worse, that I am today. He is doing a series of five videos for CM through Advent. The first two are below ... I encourage you to watch them and stay tuned for the next three! Fr. Ananias, OSB - what an Advent treat!
