7 Quick Takes Friday

In case you haven't seen it yet there is a youtube video of "Let It Go" being sung in different character voices from Disney and Pixar movies floating around on Facebook and it is hysterical. I like the guys Micky Mouse and Whinnie the Pooh impressions. You can find the video here.
On Saturday my family and I finally got to watch "Thor: The Dark World" and we all enjoyed it. Especially once Loki showed up. We all loved this scene. I also thought that the funeral scene for Thor's mother was sad and beautiful at the same time. Here is a link to the scene. If you haven't seen it yet I apologize for the spoilers.
The amazing Irish Soda bread that we have every year on St. Patrick's Day.


This is the one week during Lent that I like to think of as our splurging on sweets week. The reason being that we celebrate St. Patrick's day at the beginning of the week, then on the 19th is the fest of St. Joseph is a Solemnity so that means another dessert and the 20th is Amanda's birthday! So that is the reason why I consider this week to be our "splurging on the sweets."
In case I haven't mentioned it before but for Lent my family gives up sweets and desserts, but then we are allowed to give up other things, like the computer or movies, during Lent. We can also do extra things as well.
Last week I finally got myself a new iPod since the battery on my old one died a while ago, which was annoying. This time around I decided to get myself an iPod touch, instead of just an iPod Nano. The apps that I have downloaded so far are Facebook, Pandora, Instagram, and Minion Rush. I also have all of my music uploaded so that I have something to listen too, in case I don't feel like listening to anything on Pandora or the radio.
I saw this on Pinterest and thought that it would be nice to have in case I feel like listening to music in the bathroom.

On the website that was attached to the picture there was a deal but it ended on Sunday. Otherwise I would have gotten it if I had found out about it sooner. But I shall have to find it somewhere else in case I decide to get it.

The Other Side of Modesty

When we hear the word modesty, the first thing that comes to mind is clothing that covers everything or the majority of your body. Dressing modestly is something I have grown up with and have been around my entire life. And it can be considered a "hot topic" regarding what girls and women wear. Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski...

--- 1 --- The other day I was feeling a bit bored so I made a couple covers for the story that I started working on. --- 2 --- A couple of weeks ago I was looking up pictures of the minons from "Despicable Me", don't remember why, but while I was scrolling down the page I came across this minion picture: --- 3 --- I found this on Pinterest a while back... --- 4 --- On Sunday we had to shovel snow off the driveway. It was really cold out and it made my stomach kind of hurt a little bit afterwards. The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps. Sighing to herself...
