7 Quick Takes Friday, October 5th


--- 1 ---

I had an amazing workout this morning at the gym!  After getting Ashelyn to school, I went off to Mass and was dragging my feet about going to the gym because I was exhausted!  However, when I got there I decided to do the circuit with 3 sets of 15, added a few abductor, adductor and a 2 sets of 4 ab machines.  AND THEN, I had a burst of energy and did the treadmill for 18 minutes with a 12 minute mile!!!  Feeling great about this accomplishment today!  Thanks Planet Fitness - here's a Pat on the Back for myself!

Now that I've so gracefully boasted and bragged about my fitness accomplishment - I'll talk about humility and pride (cause that's just how I roll).  I'm in a small faith community where we are studying this book...

and I'm facilitating the discussion next week (Week #3) on the vice of Pride and the virtue of Humility.  Not sure exactly what I'm going to talk about specifically, but I'm going to conclude with this song by my fav man - Matt Maher.

Our youth programs are going pretty well, kinda great even some times at the Church.  There are a lot of middle school kids who are coming each week - a few weeks we've got 30 teens attending!  High School youth are doing great - we're serving at the Women's Shelter next weekend and I've been working on getting supplies - as of Wednesday we were going to have cake mix topped with sour cream, cheddar cheese, & a garnish of ground beef!  We're well on our way to Tacos, Beans, & Cupcakes!

This week has been/will be filled with awesome friend events!  Last night MG & I had dinner at family's house from my last Church - it was delicious - a Rachael Ray Recipe!

Check it out here!

Also, on Monday I finally upgraded my phone!!!  I was super excited and am still in love with this new device and my extra large Data Plan (ie: the lowest available, but from 150MB to 2GB)!  Loving my new iPhone 4S!!!

Tonight the friend birgade is headed over to Passage to India for some great food before going down to St. Patrick's for Theology on the Vine.  We skipped last week, so I hope this week goes well.  I've been trying to figure out some extra exciting questions to propose!  Hopefully dinner looks delicious like this or even better!

Well, that's all for now!  Catching up on some Hulu shows, getting ready at work for the Fall Festival tomorrow, preparing for the Mystery Dinner Theater tomorrow evening, and much more!!!  See you later!

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, ...
