5 quick-takes Friday

As I’m actually at work, and coming up with quick-takes in between tasks – thus the five instead of 7. 

1. I am making a concerted effort to write – something- everyday. I really feel that God is calling me to write; to use my talent, meager as it is, for his glory. To this end, Eric has bought me a “writer’s chair”, which is a cushy tomato colored armchair which will be the main focus of my writing “nook”. I asked for a “nook” for my birthday next month, and loving as my new husband is, he is helping me create one. It’s my goal to write something everyday, even if I don’t post something everyday.

2. In my work for the Church in Chicago, I am ‘in charge’ so to speak. of researching Vatican, Papal, and Bishop writings on nuclear disarmament. So far I haven’t found a whole lot of stuff…if anyone knows of any good writing on nuclear disarmament from a reputible Church source, please let me know!

3. Sushi tonight! I love sushi and I haven’t had it in about 7 months. 🙂

4. I realized last night that combined, husband and I have enough books to start a small library. I have a new life’s goal; amass an actual library through my years, so that when I die it can be donated to a community that needs a library.  I think Eric and are on the path to having quite the Catholic books collection, so perhaps we may even be able to establish a lending library of some kind for friends and family wherever we settle.

5. I’m going to be moving to Indianapolis this summer with Eric, since he will be starting his new job there in the fall. In perusing some job websites in preparation to have to find a job in Indy, I have realized something very important. I’ve spent seven years in higher education, and I’m not qualified to do anything. The most probable thing that will happen is that I will have a master’s degree and work at Barnes & Noble.
