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 small bowls, a coffee mug (full right now), and glass for water.  I'm living like I'm in a hotel - just 4 outfits (enough until I move), travel size toiletries, and no curtains.  Cannot wait for Saturday when I can start unpacking boxes!!!

Many Pizzas, Pasta, Salads, and more will be coming
from my new home soon enough!!!
Moving on Saturday!  YEAH!
Check out Jen (the link-up for this week) and Morgan for more NAS stuff!

    I'm doing the EXACT same thing with my clothes/dishes/everything else right now because I'm moving Saturday... I keep realizing that "oh, I really need this ONE thing..." but it's all hopelessly taped away. I hope that's not happening to you! :)

      oh Charity!!! That has been happening, BUT I refuse to unpack boxes in my old place, so I've resorted to flipping pancakes with tongs (not effective), making pasta in the SMALLEST pot I own (only one out), and a few others ... hoping now that my clothes are packed I don't have to resort to reusing undergarments! Although I'm down to the last sliver of soap ... SO, going to need to buy another bar, or no one will speak to me at work!

      Good Luck on the move on Saturday! I'll be thinking about you as I carry stuff down from the 3rd floor!

    That kitchen is going to be one of your happy places--I just know it!
    I looooved Reading Rainbow and that video was hilarious. I have to share it with the head reference librarian at the public library where I work, because he was telling me he didn't get Twitter. And was floored when I told him my account has been around since 2008!

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, ...
