7 quick takes...

Did you hear our news...did you hear??? This morning I am on a good news high/hangover. Miss Courtney had another peaceful night and I am so very grateful to God for the gift of this beautiful child. Today we head back to PT for the first time in a month. We'll see how the princess feels about that.

For the first time in forever I did not give up sweets for Lent. I am doing something much more difficult for me. Getting up early and praying...ugh. It's not the praying part that's hard, it's the early part. My spiritual director also gave me a few things to do as well. It feels like the "Lenten Pile On" but it's all good...at least I think it is...I'm too tired right now to really focus. Thank God I didn't give up coffee. That would have been utter disaster.

So since I didn't give up dessert, I have been trying to find some inspiration for "lighter" desserts. Just a little sweet something to take the edge off and not add another inch to my thighs. I found these the other day. What do you think? Have any recipes to share?? Please do.

Speaking of recipes, did you know I have a ton of meatless recipes cataloged here on this sight with pictures and everything?? There are some real gems there to help with your Lenten meal planning. Check them out.

I saw this little exchange on my friend T's facebook page this morning and laughed. A little Pope humor to start your day...

A friend: "What does it mean if there is smoke coming out of the heat vent in my car?"
Me: "What color is the smoke?"
Friend: "Uh . . . white."
Me: "Obviously, a conclave of tiny Cardinals has just elected a mini-Pope behind your dashboard."
I am not the person to go to with automotive questions.

I know, it's silly but come on, you chuckled just a little bit didn't you??

THESE!!! I want these for breakfast tomorrow morning. Oh smack...one should not be writing out their 7 Quick Takes when they are hungry.

Well we could not end this lovely visit without a beautifully stunning picture of my girl, the one and only Courtney. I know, I know, she's pretty amazing. Thanks for your continued prayers for her and her Mama and Daddy. We are so incredibly blessed.
