Seven Quick Takes Friday



.1.

I'm sick again. Inconceivable! (I don't know what it is with me and movie quotes lately, AND me and sickness lately.)

..2..

I loved watching this video (ht: Creative Minority Report) on the Dominican Nuns of Summit, NJ. I used to work at a bank in Summit during college, and the Nuns were one of our customers. I remember being escorted by police car to the monastery to make a delivery. I was so nervous. I had no idea what the cloistered life was all about. I talked to a nun through a little window in the wall and thought I was causing her to sin by talking to me.

...3...

I'm 80% finished with my first non-scarf knitting project. It's a pair of mittens (pdf)for Jeffrey in a nice midnight blue. Well, it's not actually my first non-scarf *project*, just the first one I haven't torn right back out.

....4....

Add "magic marker to new bedspread #2" to the list of mini-disasters happening since trying to fix up the house (marker on new bedspread #1, new paint chipped right off wall, pencil on new paint...this doesn't include the major fix ups that still need to happen). I'm going to lose my mind before we are done. There is just no way to keep a house nice with 5 homeschooling kids under 12! I'm getting kind of despondent that we will ever sell in this market.

.....5.....

We've been watching old home videos of the kids lately. Wow - I had forgotten so much of what they were like way back when, although personality wise they have hardly changed!

......6......

My 16 month old Jeffrey thinks it's the most fascinating thing when I do the Itsy Bitsy Spider for him. He's so cute when he tries to sign and ask for it.

.......7.......

Ummmmm, can't it be SIX Quick Takes Friday? I usually run out of steam after 4 or 5. :) Wait, I can't forget my usual "reader question" - our computer is giving us fits lately, running extremely slow and overheating a lot. It's old and on it's last legs I think. Anyway, I have a ton of pdf files that I've downloaded from various sources and was wondering if there is a good place online to upload them to store privately, so I can access them from different computers?
