Ree Drummond over at the Pioneer Woman website did a post this week on things she loves.....in light of Valentine's Day - and I liked it so much I stole the idea and will do a list of my own. Some of the stuff on her list are things I love, too!!
I love lists like this. I used to make lists of my favorite words.
In my Bible, I kept a list of mis-pronounced words speakers at church said that cracked me up. Look around my desk and other places in my home and you will certainly find lists scrawled on the backs of receipts, junk mail envelopes, scraps of paper, bank deposit slips, etc. etc. I am only listing things that might not be obvious that I love. Everyone knows I love cats, dishes, vintage clothes, etc.
Anyway.
I love........

Ok I think this is long enough - although I could go on and on and on. Who wants to follow suit and make a list of things you love on your blog also? I'd love to see it. If you are, leave a comment and let me know so I can check out your post. (And it doesn't have to be all different things from me - I have a sneaking suspicion that many of you reading this like the same things I do anyway. You know who you are. :) )

I stole your idea for my blog!
Cilantro....this I did not know you loved. Most everything else, I knew. ;) Except funk music. That is just weird. But, I knew you have weirdness, so, in a way, I knew. :D
I don't have the extra five minutes in my day to steal your stolen idea, but I just had to say that three of your things made me smile. One, cilantro. Love it, have a pot growing on my window sill as we speak. Hubby hates it. Number two, St. Augustine, Florida. Never been there but when hubby and I were little kids and just started dating a million years ago he had this wall paper in his bedroom that was like a map. St. Augustine was right by the light switch and one of the weird pieces of trivia that is stuck in my brain is that St. A is the oldest city in the U.S. AND number three, Nacho Libre-well sometimes a man just has to wear stretchy pants. Why do I think that is so durn funny? I do though.
(PS: just got my Country Living and had to rush to the real estate section just to see the house you got married in. Sweet!)

Okay, I made a list! It was so fun to read through yours...I'm always going 'ME TO' when I read your blog posts, but when I came across CILANTRO on your list, I could finally say 'NOT ME'!! LOL ;) I like it in fresh salsa, and that's it! It's toooo strong for me. :) Anywho, thx for inspiring a fun little post!
