First time joining in...and late to the party! But I figure why not. I have been reading the takes for ever so long and enjoyed seeing this glimpses of people's thoughts from all over the country. So now for the first Siegel's Seven Quick Takes
1. I live in a part of the country where there has been much rain and usually it's needed because we have alot of agriculture and farming around here. I live in one of the bigger cities and we have had a problem with too much rain and flooding. We are lucky at our house but there has been many basements dealing with water. Reminds me to be thankful for what we have and not always be looking at what other people have...
2. What is it that I want to have...it seems silly almost to say. I live in great neighborhood where I can walk to church with my family. But our street is full of the older generation of people whose children are out of the home already. I wish we lived next to some families so when my son gets old enough he can run out and play with them. However, we live close enough to go visit some great friends that I am blessed to have.
3. I am not actually sleeping in this photo but it looks like I am. You can spot my overflowing endtable next to us. This table holds what I spend my time doing when Dominic is sleeping. I was never able to sleep when he sleeps but find it much more refreshing to read a book, type and email, watch a movie on Netflix.
4. One of the things I like most about the blogosphere is the recommendations you can get on books to read, shows to watch, or other useful suggestions. I have been introduced to Dorothy Sayers from blogs as well as some fun shows like Life on Netflix.
5. One thing I wished I did while the baby is napping is work on my novel. It is kind of finished as I have written it through to the end of the plot, but it definitely has some parts that need to be fleshed out. I count this as stretching my writing muscles so I can get back in shape to work on it. Also forgive me if my blog is a bit rough right now. I am still learning to do things like insert links etc. (For instance, I would suggest reading more quick takes at This Ain't the Lyceum, but am not sure yet how to add the link. Sorry! :).
6. Speaking of working out, I was in a good mode of working out and then fell back out again. Planning on starting Monday again. Can you loan me some willpower?
7. Seeing as I just started to write here, I am thinking of different things I want to writing about...the future will hold: writings about my Catholic faith, my family, things I learned teaching kindergarten for 6 years before staying home with Dominic, books. Looking forward to sharing thoughts and ideas that I love that are helping me climb toward heaven along with my family.
That's it for this week! Thanks for reading---I am glad that there are so many out there that are running toward heaven and know that it helps me keeping up the race knowing you are there.
