7 Quick Takes Friday, June 7th


For More Quick Takes, visit Conversion Diary!

- 1 - Today is World-Wide Pray for Our Priests Day ... so I helped our Immaculata Prayer Ministry made a little bulletin board earlier this week.  An excellent addition to our Narthex!


I captured some great photos of both Fr. Winslow and Fr. Kauth.  I hope people like what we showcased.

- 2 - I get a smile on my face everyday when I read this blog.  The other day, this was one ... and I just hope that I have a little special someone who will say that to me one morning.  Let's call off today and just hang out with each other!


- 3 - Is it technically called a blog if it's on tumblr? I don't really know - although I just noticed that in my blogger compose the word tumblr doesn't come up as misspelled.  Although most of the time my name does and other super common words in my vocabulary.  I listen to the podcast Stuff Mom Never Told You and they are always inviting people to 'tumble with them over at their tumblr' - tumble with them?  Tumble where?  I just don't understand - but I saw the guy who owns the tumbling space and they just sold to Yahoo for a ridiculously large sum of cash!

- 4 - That's what I need to do - found and develop an amazing website like tumblr, yahoo, google, facebook, pinterest, youtube, etc...  I might be able to pay off my student loans!

- 5 - A great big Thank You to our pastor!  Father Winslow and I at our Volunteer Appreciation Event last night.


We had this photo booth where people could take funny and serious pictures - and most of the staff took their turn to get a pic with Father Winslow!  Overall the event was a great time!

Tom even sang a little series of songs to entertain the crowds!  It was some good clean fun!

- 6 - This evening something that I absolutely despise happened - and it's not the first time.  When I said something to someone - a suggestion about putting something away.  They replied, "Oh, so-and-so is already planning to do that."  Then, the person proceeds to do nothing of the sort.  If you don't think my suggestion is a good idea, then just say so.  If you think it is, say thanks, that's a great idea.  But don't proceed to tell me you were already planning to do that and then not do that!  I realize that I'm being a little ridiculous.  I know that I can be at times.  I have a Type A personality some days and today was probably one of those days.  However, it's better to just tell me that I'm being ridiculous than it is to patronize me.  That drives me absolutely crazy!

- 7 - On Wednesday I drug Lisa (my new roommate) to a new Bible Study I was venturing out to and we had a fantastic time.  It was at Amelie's in NoDa where they have the most delicious pastries. I had soup for their for the first time as well and it might have to become a regular thing!  But anyway, back to the Lord and our Bible Study.  It was so great to talk with girls who are just reading along in the Scriptures casually and want to be more prepared for Sunday Mass each week.  I even made plans with one of the girls to go to the Charlotte Roller Derby game/match/tournament/whatever in August (the next time there's an event and we're both free).  I think this is a beginning of a great adventure!  Doing it again in in two weeks!

For more quick takes head on over to Jen and check out her friends!

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, ...
