DiscerningCatholic Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 Har har Y'all know what I ended up with in the white elephant game? This ginormous crocheted ball that looked like a huge hacky sack. I didn't want it, but Sr. Maria was eyeballing it the whole time, so I kept stealing it from everyone else to tease her. :evil: :hehe:

I didn't want it, but Sr. Maria was eyeballing it the whole time, so I kept stealing it from everyone else to tease her. :evil: :hehe: I'm afraid she thought I actually wanted it... :| I ended up giving it to Sr. Christiana for her kindergarten class. :)
dominicansoul Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 so, Sr. Maria Frassati thought the huge hacky sack was a bit better than the pink pair of lips? waitaminute....Who brings a pink pair of lips to the White Elephant game? :blink: rotfl
dominicansoul Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 DC, you keep mentioning sisters I have no idea who they are. I only knew 48 of the over 100. When I went back to visit them after being away 5 years, I told Sr. Mary Grace, "who are all these new sisters? I don't know half of this community!" And she responded, "That's okay...neither do I!" rotfl rotfl rotfl I'm sure she was just joking, but I can see where it is not so intimate and small anymore...I was there when the community was not even 10 years old yet.
Papist Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 The last time I played white elephant was a Christmas with my siblings and their spouses. I got a 4-pack of play-dough. My sis-in-law mistakenly got her presents mixed up.
DiscerningCatholic Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I think it was a cookie cutter shaped like lips. :| Either way... :doh: rotfl I didn't know ANY of the sisters when I went (except for Sr. Mary Magdalene - who I'm sure you know since she's been there since pretty much since the community existed; she wasn't there, though - and Sr. Maria Frassati, of course), so I had to get good at remembering similar names. :| I did manage to keep from confusing Sr. Maria Kolbe and Sr. Maximilian Marie...but I always got Sr. Maria Miguel and Sr. Elizabeth John mixed up! Of course, I know that "sister" works for all of them...but they ALL respond to that. All. 100. Of. Them. So...yeah. "Hey, sister!!!" All of the sisters: "Yes?"

DiscerningCatholic Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 My mom: Trini, your hair is ALL OVER THE FLOOR! It's like having a dog! Me: Well, I AM a Dominican... I'm assuming you know the Latin breakdown of the word "Dominican"...
dominicansoul Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Sr. Maximilian Marie let me call her Sr. Max. I don't know if she allows anyone else to... (I was one of her faves...) :P
DiscerningCatholic Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 Sr. Max. rotfl That's cute!!!!! I got to meet Sr. Veronica Marie from the Imagine Sisters video... OH MY CHEESE She's adorable
DiscerningCatholic Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 AAAAAAAAAAAAAH It's okay; I think she entered around '09, since she just made first profession last year.
dominicansoul Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 okay, she was probably just a fetus when I entered...
DiscerningCatholic Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 LOLOLOL Probably not that young... :|
DiscerningCatholic Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Either that or the order is older than I thought... :P Edited May 30, 2013 by DiscerningCatholic
dominicansoul Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 speaking of fetuses, Sr. Jude Andrew was in my class. She entered at 17. When we received the habit, it took about 10 years away from our appearance. She looked like a dang fetus in a habit. I drew her as a little fetus wearing the Dominican habit in the womb. I wonder if I still have that little scribble. I was pretty dang good drawing stuff there...
DiscerningCatholic Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) rotfl rotfl rotfl rotfl THAT'S AWE.SOME AND YES ALL of the sisters look so young in their habits!!!!!!! Like, I read an article about Sr. Maria Frassati (I still have no idea how to pronounce her last (family) name, even though she did it for me) and she's like, 28! She looks like she's barely 22! I'm in real trouble if it does make everyone look younger. :| I look like I'm 12. Then again, Sr. Mary Grace thought I was 20...she also called me a borderline mystic, so I'm not sure if I should take her seriously or not. :| :P Edited May 30, 2013 by DiscerningCatholic
dominicansoul Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 :( I'm kinda worried...Vee hasn't texted me... I hope she wasn't eaten by a bear :sad2:
