7 Quick Takes Friday, April 12th


For More Quick Takes, visit Conversion Diary!
- 1 - Well, apparently I gave up blogging for the 2nd half of Lent and the first two weeks of Easter!  Not really, it mostly comes from the fact that I sit at a computer all day at work and don't really want to do the same when I get home at night.  Also, not sure I always have things to say - well, that's not true, if you know me, I always have things to say, it's just that sometimes no one really wants to hear it. 

- 2 - This week began super rough, not sure what the problem was.  I had a great evening on Sunday and then an awful meeting on Monday afternoon that led to a Wine & Chocolate Whining session at a friend's house. 

- 3 - I try to refrain from being any sort of political on facebook and the blog, but something has really gotten under my skin today.  Before Lent began, I saw on GMA about the Jodi Arias and the drama that is her.  Then on Monday morning of this week, when I started watching GMA in the morning again, there she was - STILL ON TRIAL!  She admitted to doing it, everyone knows she killed him, just give her a stinking sentence already.  Rule it self-defense and then put her in jail for wasting everyone's time these last few months with ridiculous!!!

But the only reason that's really under my skin is that this case with this Gosnell guy has NO attention! Only 1.4 Million Google results while Jodi's got 108 Million Results.  And honestly the results on Kermit the frog are mostly about why the media isn't covering it!  I know that almost half of our country is Pro-Choice (or whatever they are calling themselves these days) and it's uncomfortable to think about this especially with this argument going on, but REALLY? Just give it a slight headline, recognize that it's happening, that's all I want!!!

Okay, I'm done, fret no more!  It's safe to keep reading...

- 4 - Since Google Reader is being retired, I've had to move to another RSS feed like everyone in the world and I'm happy with BlogLovin' ... I like how you can scroll through without everything becoming unread and I also enjoy reading blogs on their actual websites instead of in the reader.  I enjoy seeing how others have formatted their sites and it's much easier to comment as well as to actually see the comments!  Feedly was quickly dismissed however...I can't even write of it!

- 5 - A constant struggle of mine is regarding my future marriage - as I'm sure you've been able to tell before.  This article over at The Veil really helped me put it in perspective the other day though!  Thanks Cindy, you're a great encouragement!

- 6 - I could not stop laughing when I saw this photo that father posted on his twitter account!  You will not be disappointed when you see it, I promise!  Be sure to click!  We took a better picture this morning and have removed the "I want to kill you" look from his face!

- 7 - Last night was our first KickBall Game.  It was a ton of fun and we even won!  The score was 10 to 2, and although I didn't score any runs, I did get a few kicks in and get past first base!  After some team bonding over great burgers and beer, we are ready for next week!

Thanks to Grace for hosting Quick Takes this week!  Praying for Jen and her newest little one!

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, ...
