7 Quick Takes Friday, February 15th


For More Quick Takes, visit Conversion Diary!
- 1 - Just saw some AWESOME news (relative to Television anyway)...One of my absolute favorite shows from childhood was Boy Meets World.  So much so, that last year, I watched almost the entire series in 20 minute increments while waiting for Ashelyn to get ready in the morning before taking her to school.  NOW, I see a post of Facebook from one of my teens that they are producing a sequel!  Yes, you read me right - Girl Meets World and she will be The Matthews' daughter.  Already on the cast are the goofy, adorable couple themselves, Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel happily reprising their roles as Cory and Topanga. (according to this article)

 Can't wait to watch this and see if their 'happily ever after' lived up to the standards in my mind!
 

- 2- Writing of TV, I watched Bones on Monday night and fell in love even more with Booth!  I know, he's married in real life and even in a fully committed relationship on the show.  I am inspired by their relationship.  I realize that it is written for TV, isn't a real-life HOWEVER, I find it promising that the writers are portraying a healthy relationship.  A few weeks ago when they were re-doing their Last Will & Testaments, booth had a really heartfelt moment at the end of the show.  And then this week with Bones almost dying (sorry for a spoiler) I can see how they may actually be on the path toward marriage.  Check it out!


- 3 - In other news, (which I'm sure you've heard) the Pope Resigned.  Our own Father Kauth even spoke on the subject on the local news.  I'm not sure my feelings on the subject, so I'm just going to stick to the facts - he resigned. 

 - 4 - Tonight is my last event with the Youth Ministry program here at the parish.  I'm a little sad and a little relieved to be perfectly honest.  Not sure what will come of it!

 - 5 - I've always thought of going to the Chiropractor and this week I began some treatment on my neck and lower spine.  I'm eager to see the results.

 - 6 - In a quest to meet more people and 'get myself out there' (words of my Spiritual Director), MG and I joined a Kick-Ball League.  It should be interesting...it begins at the end of March.  Maybe our new friends or future husbands also have an interest in a game of ball that you kick!

 - 7 - Nothing much else, glad the week is over.  It had a rough beginning and I think it will be ending a little early today.  I need to do some laundry and also to pack for our overnight famine tonight.  See you later!  Maybe Monday, it is a day off and since my Lenten Fast doesn't include TV, I've got a lot of freed-up time!

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, ...
