Waiting for Patience

Welcome to this week's edition of Answer Me This  ... thanks Kendra for hosting!  It's been fun this past few weeks, I'm sad we won't be getting together regularly for this cocktail party! 1. What is your favorite picture book? I don't have an answer to this question - since I don't read to children on a regular basis, I don't really have any opportunities to read picture books on a regular basis to get a favorite. 2. Are you a boycotter? I can be, but only one company right now.  Johnson & Johnson because I think they are crazy if they think that they can make money from babies AND from selling contraceptives.  I know that there are many other companies who sell products that I disagree with, have stands that are opposite of mine, and who are vocal about it - but well, I, personally, cannot boycott the world. 3. How do you feel about cheese? Um, what kind of question is this? I love cheese, maybe too much!  The smellier and stranger the ...

1. What is your favorite room in the house? Well, since I have a new house, I don't know quite yet - but I love the living room for the couch and overall sense of family, the bedroom because I'm a big fan of sleeping, and the kitchen since I like spending my evenings making new things! 2. Do you subscribe to any magazines or other periodicals? Nope!  Thought about buying a LivingSocial for one a while back, but decided against it.  Don't know if I'd read it or if it would just become garbage.  I do get the Catholic Newspaper for our Diocese though! 3. How do you feel about the sign of peace in Mass? Enriching? Awkward? Overdone? Just right? Some combination of the above? Well, I used to think that I loved it.  Then at my old parish for Daily Mass we were in the Church and we were so far apart, it's just awkward when everyone is so far away and you have to do the 'peace sign' with your fingers - which I dislike a lot during Mass.  Now we don'...

Welcome to the internet's favorite cocktail party ... can't verify the favorite for all of the internet, but I sure to enjoy it ... and I don't do many cocktail parties, why is that? I should have more cocktail parties! 1. What do you still want to do this summer? I want to sign the papers at my house closing and move!!!  24 more hours until the closing, 5 days until moving!!! 2. What's your favorite kind of pie? Old Fashion Apple Pie - made by my dad ... but sacrificing sweets right now, so trying not to think about it ... today I'm going to say this tomato pie  I found on pinterest!  Looks mighty tasty! Recipe Here verses Recipe Here 3. How much sleep do you need each day? How much do you get? I think I need 8 to 10 hours, but really, my body says, "okay, we're done" after about 7 hours.  I typically get that many ... I also realize I'm blessed to live in a quiet house since it's just me. 4. Do you prefer to swim...

Decided to join in the internet's favorite cocktail party with Kendra over at Catholic All Year ... I've been reading her for weeks and am loving it, so as I slide back into regular posts, this seems like a great way to dive in!  Plus her questions are great, random, and always have fabulous answers! 1. When driving, are you more likely to listen to the radio, to CDs or an iPod, or nothing at all? In the car, I am listening to one of three things - NPR (many driveway moments for this gal), The Catholic Guy on my Sirius/XM App, or the one Mumford & Sons CD my friend Katie gave me a few years ago (which isn't on my iTunes app because I always forget to bring it in the house!). 2. Do you prefer window or aisle? I prefer the aisle, or the window - or really no one beside me.  If I had to choose (which is the nature of this question), I'd have to say I usually go with the window.  This way I have a wall to my side to lean on and sleep if I want to and I won...
