Esther and Christine both gave me the Lovely Award. Sorry to both of you for not putting it up here immediately. I tend to put things away for later in the day and that becomes a week.
“These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”
The hard thing is always coming up with just a few to give these to and also people who didn't do this a couple weeks ago.
1. Athanasius contra mundum at 50 Days After
2. Derek at Derek's World
3. Nun at NunoftheAbove
4. FloridaWife at Awaiting in Joyful Hope
5. Suzanne at Suzanne's Sisterly Sharings
6. Droopy Brains

The first couple of times I tried to do this one it gave me this error message.
I tried it again this morning, and poof it worked. This doesn't really sound like me, but whatever.

Books Meme
I forgot that Esther tagged me with this meme over a week ago. Sorry Esther.
Do you remember how you developed a love for reading?
I remember learning the very basics of reading in first grade. I remember reading 'We Can Go' or some such book and being so excited when I got home and could tell my parents about it. My Dad reads a lot of books, and he does so very quickly, I'd like to be able to do that some day.
What are some books you read as a child?
Bernstein Bears, and Goosebumps books. OH oh oh, the Choose Your Own Adventure books, those rocked.
What is your favorite genre?
Most of what I've read on my own lately has been political books. I need to get back in the habit of reading, I've bought a lot of good books about the history of the church that I want to read.
Do you have a favorite novel?
I can't think of one specifically, I have read Heart of Darkness about 3 times, but that was always for school.
Where do you usually read?
Usually at my desk, because I always end up sitting at my desk.
When do you usually read?
Whenever I have time.
Do you usually have more than one book you are reading at a time?
Yes. I'm terrible at finishing books before I start another.
Do you read nonfiction in a different way or place than you read fiction?
Not really.
Do you buy most of the books you read, or borrow them, or check them out of the library?
I buy them. And almost always new. I can't stand marks in my books. Only books for school will I buy used.
Do you keep most of the books you buy?
Yes. I have stacks of books all over the place.
If you have children, what are some of the favorite books you have shared with them?
No kids.
What are you reading now?
Nothing right now, I have class so I have to keep reading for that.
Do you keep a TBR (to be read) list?
I did, but I didn't keep up on it. I need to start a new one and work on keeping up with it.
What’s next?
I have to see how I feel.
What books would you like to reread?
Crime and Punishment. I read it for class, but I feel like I could enjoy it more if I reread it.
Who are your favorite authors?
I don't usually read a lot of things from the same person.
I tag
Athanasius contra mundum when he has time and anyone else who wants to do it.

My Holy Card
Athanasius contra mundum of 50 Days After tagged me for a meme last week and I finally have a chance to do it. The substance of the meme is...
I thought about it and first I thought the obvious, I should be the patron of bloggers. Except I'm not a very good blogger, so I put that notion aside. Then I thought I could be a patron of teachers, but even though I'm working on getting my certification I'm still not sure I should be a teacher so I shouldn't be patron of them.
Finally I decided I should be a patron of people who are unsure of what their vocation or calling is. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, and it shows.
Here's my holy card, I felt it necessary to add the 'of Chicagoland', because you never know some day there may be lots of St. Sunnys. But I would also find St. Sunny the Greater also acceptable. ;)
What picture would I use for my holy card, should I make it to sainthood, and of what cause(s) would I want to be patron of?

Ummm.... Yay?
|
You’re St. Justin Martyr! You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |
H/T Catholic Homeschooled Teens
We're leaving for Florida Wednesday night but between then and now I have to read a book, write a paper on that book, study for the exam I have to take early because I won't be there when the test is given. And my boss wonders why I don't look that excited yet.

What's Your Political Philosophy? created with QuizFarm.com | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Not A Huge Surprise

Eucharistic theology created with QuizFarm.com | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| You scored as Catholic You are a Catholic. You believe that the bread and wine are transformed by the priest and become the Body and Blood of Christ. Though the accidents, or appearance, of bread and wine remain, the substance has been changed. The Eucharist remains the Body and Blood of Christ after the celebration, and is reserved in the Tabernacle; Eucharistic devotions are proper. As the whole Christ is present under either species, you partake fully of the Eucharist even if you receive only one.

Acclaimed Movies I Hate
I considered myself tagged by Ma Beck because I've seen a movie in the last 2 months (I saw Rambo sometime during Lent - probably early to mid February).
I need to list five critically-lauded movies which I hate.
1. Shane
No questions about number 1, I absolutely hate the movie Shane. The sound of the boy yelling "Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane", just rips through my mind. Funny thing though is that I enjoyed the book.
2. The Shawshank Redemption
3. Titanic
I hate it, but I've never seen it. I refuse to watch it.
4. Some Like It Hot
5. Dr. Strangelove
Tag yourself if you want to do this one.

About Me
- catholicandgop
- Catholic and politically conservative, I graduated with a BA in History (concentration in American) and Political Science. I'm between two parishes; one in Wisconsin that is fairly traditional, and one in Illinois that is fairly liberal. I teach CCD. I work in the food service industry, which basically means I'm working in fast food until I find a better job. I'd like to work for the church somehow. Right now I'm working on getting my teaching certification, although I'm unsure thats the correct path for me. This blog is as random as I am. I hope you enjoy.
