7 Quick Takes Friday, March 1st

For More Quick Takes, visit Conversion Diary!

- 1 - Finally, after 10 days, I'm feeling like a human being again after being down with a sinus infection. So, maybe you'll get some real nuggets of wisdom from this week's quick takes - maybe not, you'll never know until you read through them (or until I write them).

- 2 - We are officially sede vacante as the Pope Officially resigned as of 8pm Rome Standard Time yesterday.

- 3 - I am SO excited about this release from JJ Heller in two weeks! Check out the latest release video from yesterday...

- 4 - I'm listening to The Catholic Guy Show with Lino and Fr. Rob as I type this and am cracking up as they do a commentary on the Pope's Final comments to the Pope. They make it into such a joyful event for all!

- 5 - On Thursday I'm leaving for New York for a visit to see my brother! I cannot wait to get a little vacation as well as to see him where he lives. I think we're going to see some of the city (I've really only ever been to Times Square and on Long Island) and visit!

- 6 - Also glad to see my friend Stephanie and her two girls on Friday for a visit while Nate's at work. It's been a few months and I'm eager to have a visit with just me, her, and the girls without a dozen other people pulling us away (that happens almost every time we visit).

- 7 - Well, That's All Folks! See you in two weeks! I'll be a year older and hopefully wiser next time I write!

Check out Jen for more Quick Takes!

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: Great things from this weekend...

I'm going to commit myself to write in the NAS series this year ... so a few random things on the last Summer Link-Up for the Not Alone Series ! I saw a few things I couldn't help but share with you on this Tuesday! From Kendra at Catholic All Year for the Feast of St. Dominic on Friday (8/8) posted on Facebook: one, very holy man! not sure if I could say the same thing... On the other end of the spectrum (ie: completely opposite of Holy Saint Dominic) - some late night fun! A friend and I love reminiscing about our years of childhood as Reading Rainbow . Go ahead, click over ... if you were a Levar Burton fan as a kid - this will make your Tuesday! Two completely opposite great things - but both worth it! Happy Tuesday Y'all! Also just cleaned my new kitchen this weekend and can.not.wait to cook in my new kitchen next week!!! Last night I packed up the last remaining items from my current place - it's official, I have just one fork, two very sm...
