7 Quick Takes Friday, January 25th


For More Quick Takes, visit Conversion Diary!

- 1 - Well...it's supposed to snow tonight. We will see if that is more than a super light dusting of maybe 2 mm of snow! Everything will probably be canceled because everyone freaks out. Only time will tell!

WAS what I wrote last week ... and the same still applies!  Nothing came of last week's info, but of this week - only a funny facebook exchange...check it out!


Basically, everyone argues about what's okay to be scared by and then makes excuses for the south.  Just because we don't have it 'all the time' - we have enough for you to learn! And that is that!

- 2 - Tonight we are going to Upstream for Charlotte's Restaurant Week and I'm super excited!  I already know what I'm going to have (only because there are only 3 options and we picked it based on the menu).  I'll let you know how delicious it is!  Last Restaurant Week we went to BLT Steak and it was amazing!

- 3 - This week I've been SO tired at night!  I was able to work out 3 of 4 days so far, so that's been nice, but all I want to do is sleep!  Hopefully a large kick-butt full of energy kicks in soon!



- 4 - CPI was at work on Thursday to fix something (again) and the guy was telling me that I should be a CPI sales woman ... maybe I can be an Office Manager there when I retire from Church work.  I told this tech guy that I have connections in every department: Ferris, Pat, Alex, & Shannon in Tech Support, Jim & Scott in Sales, George in Quality Control, & Patricia in Monitoring.  I'm almost ready to take over the Charlotte Division.  I told Shannon, I would be using him as a reference for a future application so he should be sure to mention me!  HAHA!

- 5 - I've also been experimenting in the food department lately!  Check out these creations (and I don't even have a pic of the one from tonight since I was too hungry to pause for even a second)!

Brie, Bacon, & Fig Jam Grilled Cheese 
Spinach, Mushroom Cheese Pizza on a Waffle Crust
(crust made in waffle maker with pizza dough, not a waffle batter crust)

Cinnamon Roll Waffles (again just cinnamon rolls
from the can cooked in the waffle maker)

Pasta with Spinach, Chicken, Mushrooms, & Laughing Cow Cream Sauce
- 6 - I also have fallen in love with this Podcast!  You should definitely check it out, you won't be disappointed!  All of the How Stuff Works stuff has been great so far - I learned some interesting things about Fracking that I never knew!  And if you can't listen to the podcast, read about it!


- 7 - Well, that's about it - I think there was going to be more, but honestly, I can't remember it!  So that's all she wrote - find more with Jen & friends over at conversiondiary.com!

- 8 - Oh, I remember!  I asked a co-worked to pray for a special intention on Wednesday afternoon before leaving and when I arrived on Thursday morning, the answer was CLEAR and the Lord allowed things in my favor!  Praise the Lord!  Life is good!

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, ...
