I did that with a pillow case just the other night. My dad took a picture and I told him not to let it get on the internet.

When you see what is, in all honesty, a very frumpy pinafore in a charity shop and think it would be lovely for postulancy.

haha once when my friend and i were walking home from the pool with my family we put our towels on our heads and said that we were forming a new order of sisters of the pool or something like that lol.

When you watch Sister Act with a nonreligious friend (as in no religious affiliation) and think it's adorable when she calls Sr. Mary Robert a "nunlette"

I hope she is ok with me being a future nunlette!

Have you ever tried a twin sheet? The length is wonderful.

When your patients keep asking you if you're a nun (I'm a nurse).

when you are at work daydreaming about religious names and then wonder "what is the feast day for that?". And then you pull up Catholic websites, which are promptly minimized anytime a co-worker walks into the room. Not that I've done/am doing that.

I had PM up at my desk yesterday. I was sitting at a table working with a someone and my coworker sat down at my desk and I got really nervous. It's already awkward enough when I explain that I spent my vacation time in a convent.

When everyone you talked to in the last week has commented on how good you'll look in the habit.

[maximillion]

Ahhh...that's sweet. And I am sure you will look wonderful in the habit too.

[IamMyBeloveds]

Oh this thread makes me smile!! It's all so true!

You start typing 'vocation' whenever you type 'vo'

You can scare your friends by recognizing habits of certain orders.

You used to wear a towel on your head and pretend to be a sister...and sometimes you still do.

...

You get [i]those looks[/i] from sisters.

People mistake you for a nun even when you're in street clothes.

I have gotten mistaken for being a nun while I'm wearing secular clothes often!! So funny.

... when your friends have nicknamed you "Sister" !
[/quote]

This has happened to me multiple times.

When you start to secretly pick and write out your desired religious name (like a teenager doodling Mrs. so and so)
[/quote]

I did this before I entered the convent and re-write my religious name accidentally sometimes while I'm waiting to re-enter next year! One time I answered the phone at my office and said, "Hello, this is Sr. Mary Elizabeth speaking...um, I mean, sorry. Let me start over." I can't wait until I'm a novice again next year and can receive the beauty of my religious name again!

when you dream of the day you get all your hair cut off and look like a boy

When, during the bouquet toss at a wedding, friends try to drag you out to catch it and you protest saying, "I'm not single!".....then someone you know says, "yeah she's engaged to Jesus!"
[/quote]


hahaha! This happened to me several times! I totally understand!

[Carolyn]

Aaah, to be among like-minded people!

[i<3LSOP]

You know you're a future sister when you throw a towel over you're head and think.."WOW I look like a sister...I wonder.."

Or if you pray to God and get a vocation to be a sister... that's what most regular people do... but you might not be regular in that way....

When you will elaborately plan out your nun run trip to NOLA... and hope you copied down all the address right.

When hearing the matraque at 5:20am makes you leap out of bed and dance around the cell with sheer joy!
