My first Quick Takes!!

-1-

It's my first quick takes! I love reading them and while mine probably won't be nearly as entertaining and interesting as others, I thought it would give it a go!  I have a zillion ideas swirling around in my head at a given time... hardly any make it to a blog post (unless it involves a wedding picture!) Ha!  I thought this would be a good way to get some things down.  Plus, I'm always one to jump on a good band wagon!

My #1 summer obsession??  Bi.g Bro.ther!  I admit it... I LOVE to watch it.  I'm not the biggest reality TV fan, but I cannot not keep my eyes off this show!  I have watched it for the last several years and love it!  It really takes some commitment to watch this show... it's on THREE times a week!  Three!  It's crazy!  But I am totally willing to make that commitment!  I can do it!  Some friends and I often have 'big broth.er' parties when it gets down to the very end... it's very fun!  I DO NOT, however, subscribe to the live feed that is available!  I only did that one year... several years ago.  I must say, it did come in very handy!  And I wonder why I was single so long... Hmmmm....

My other obsession that extends into all four seasons??  My i.phone.  Yep, I admit it.  I'm an i.phone-aholic.  I need help and I know it.  My phone is with my All.The.Time.  I'm working on it... slowing, but working on it.  I first got one two years ago and we were instantly attached at the hip.  I just got a new one (yay) and I love it!  It was the official... "You don't ovulate, your thyroid is totally busted, I have diabetes, we had frozen pipes, your tubes are blocked, we had a water leak and need all new floors, etc., etc, phone" gift from my husband.  He pre-ordered it and it arrive promptly on launch day!  Yes, this makes me smile more than you know!  It will take the place of my next few Christmas, anniversary and birthday presents.  While I do admit that I have a little too much love for my phone, it is so handy... how else would I email Ann, Leila, Beth and Sew during the day??  :)

Speaking of phones... I HATE it when people text and drive.  It scares me silly!  I use to do this.  I do NOT anymore.  It might drive me crazy, but I put the phone down.  I had to honk at a car last week that was on its way to hit me.  I could see the driver looking down while we were coming to a stop.  I honked, they looked up and barely missed me!  I've been in 6 car accidents (NONE were my fault!) and I do not want to be in any more!  Statistics show that nearly 500,000 people are injured and 6,000 are killed every year because drivers are so distracted, either by talking, texting or e-mailing behind the wheel!  No text message or email is worth that.

I've got a great blog for everyone to check out!  My 'in real life' friend Megan has started a new blog, Heart of St. Monica! It's going to be a great blog!  Megan is unapologetically Catholic and knows how to defend her faith!  She has done so many times on the blogs already!  Megan has the cutest family... a great hubby Bill and two adorable little girls!  She has a blog about her girls too! It's been great getting to know Megan better through the blogs.  It's funny... because I haven't seen Megan since she discovered blogging... but yet, I feel like we've become such better friends!  One more reason I love this blogging community!

Wine.  I walked in the door tonight and my wonderful DH handed me a glass of wine.  I love him and the wine.  He had prepared the most delicious and wonderfully healthy meal too!  He is home for the summer and has been doing all the cooking and grocery shopping!  I LOVE IT!  He's been grilling up a storm and he is great!  It's so nice to come home with all the little stuff done... so we can spend the rest of the evening just being with each other!  It makes such a difference!

This has been on of the loooogest weeks!  I only had to work 3 days and yet it seemed to drag on and on and on!  We went on a little mini-vacation out in nature (blog post coming soon!) and returned home Tuesday night.  I don't think I've recovered yet!  I have managed to get so much more sleep than normal this week in an effort to recover from the nature filled getaway.  I usually get about 5 hours a night if I'm really lucky.  This week I've gotten at least 8 hours and it has made such a difference!  Wow!  I think this is almost how I'm suppose to feel.  I'm still tired (darn thyroid!), but it so much better!!  Now, I'm so excited it's the weekend I can hardly stand it! Woo Hoo!  Have a great weekend everyone!
