Waiting for Patience

--- 1 --- Well, today is Halloween - my absolute least favorite holiday.  It has nothing to with the devil, religious reasons, calling it 'all hallow's eve' or any like that.  It's actually because I don't like dressing up or acting like someone I'm not.  I can appreciate what Kendra has as a tradition with her children - super scary, super cool saints and Halloween costumes .  I am also excited to see all of the babies in my life dressed up in super cute costumes - Doug, a puppy, and an old man are in the works for today! --- 2 --- This week I had a chance to put some old pictures from CDs onto my computer and upload them up to my google photos ... check out some of these fun ones! Mike (now Father) and I in Germany for WYD more here Yes, that is JPII!!!  A SAINT! more from WYD here There are more, but you'll have to wait a few weeks! --- 3 --- Brenda, over at Triple Braided Life , featured me on Tuesday as a Single Wo...

--- 1 --- I have spent the entire week recovering from last Saturday's smashing success at World Feast 2014 .  It was a LOT of work, but totally worth it!!!  I posted a few great ones on Instagram  on Saturday and was 'live posting' on Facebook all day to get people over to our campus ... and it must have worked because we had at least 1,000 people come to the FEAST.  Everyone had a blast, the food was amazing, and so many smiling faces!!!  That's why my Friday  takes are on Sunday  - either that or extreme laziness ... one or the other! --- 2 --- Oh, and my parents were here to visit last weekend as well - they brought me this: I had it tuned yesterday morning and am loving being able to play the piano again whenever I want - which I've never really been able to do, but alas, it's nice having a piano in my house - and the ability to play!  Makes it more of a home! --- 3 --- For about a month now I've been doing yoga ever...

--- 1 --- On Wednesday, Kendra posted this picture on Facebook: I thought it was an excellent source for inspiration as I prepare for the festival that is tomorrow at my parish.  There's so much to be done and so many people involved.  I have been having the hardest time keeping it together, being kind and charitable toward others, and making sure that I get the things done that I have to get done.  It's been touch and go, but on Wednesday I was able to actually remember this in those hard moments to prevent me from screaming aloud in my office all day long. --- 2 --- What would I have screamed?  Well, "The Ship is Sinking" would have been the first words out of my lips! It wouldn't be the first and honestly it probably won't be the last! --- 3 --- A couple of weeks ago the Fathers stopped over my house for a blessing - but the other day as I was coming in to the house during the rain was the first time I noticed the inscripti...

On Monday I started this book: amazon Before going to bed on Tuesday evening, I finished it. Why did I read it?  I think that Grace over at the Camp might have made a mention of it or someone she links to with The Bachelor  scoops did.  I don't even watch the show - gave up years ago when the same guy was The Bachelor  twice.  I stopped watching it on a matter of principle since I determined that it was less about love and more about money.  I know that most people knew that already, but I had blocked it out of my mind. So I put the book on my holds requests list for the library and picked it up about two weeks ago.  When I picked it up, I already had a book I hadn't read so when I returned the other in just the nick of time before the fines kicked in, I almost returned this one too. However, I'm glad I didn't. The book is ridiculous.  That is my honest assessment of the situation.  However, it did remind me of some very inter...
