7 Quick Takes Friday

*** 1 ***

Ladies, what are you doing for Valentine’s Day? I know it falls on a Monday, so any festivities that take place during that weekend count.

We’ve never been really big on V-day, but I think of it as a nice occasion to do something special for/with Atticus. We’re going to have a date at home (because, what else do you do with a six week old around?) and that will be nice. A bottle of wine, some pasta.

Even though we’re boring, I love to hear about other people’s plans. Are you doing anything special with your sweetie or friends?

Atticus is looking for a new suit. So I did a google search looking for tips for buying suits based around body type. I found this really neat website in the midst of my search; The Art of Manliness.

It’s a blog that has posts on various man topics. Atticus has liked reading it, and I’m enjoying it too! Your man might enjoy taking a gander.

In light of the terribly sad situation involving Fr. Euteneuer (former director of Human Life International), I realized that I do not pray nearly enough for our priests. I am going to work on this.

There really is a spiritual battle taking place for all of our souls, and the devil is attacking our priests so much. They need a lot of prayers! St. Michael, pray for us.

Tonight when I saw the weather report for the next week, I cried. I actually broke down and cried. Why? Because in the next seven days, it is going to snow, at least a little, every day but one. The one day that its not going to snow, it’s going to be a high of 20. Thus, the tears.

God bless Pandora internet radio. I can stream it into the living room, and there’s something called “lullaby radio”. Maggie loves it, and I do too! There’s also several classical stations. And everything else. And it’s free.

Awesome.

Maggie attended her first party last weekend! We went to my friend Julie’s bridal shower/bachelorette party. It was a lot of fun! We had a great meal, and told stories about Julie and her fiance. Then the group got dressed in costumes to go ice skating! Maggie and I headed home as the group went ice skating, but we had such a great time!

Here’s a picture of he with Atticus before we left:
