Things I Love Sunday

My friend Ashley frequently writes "TILT" blogs (aka, "Things I Love Thursday).  Today, I want to write a "Things I Love Sunday" post...which doesn't make for a good acronym, but lots of good little things happened today :)

*Cardinals vs Rangers in the World Series...what else could a St. Louis girl living in Dallas ask for?  Either way, my team is going to win!

*The 1879 Housekeeping in Old Virginia cookbook that I bought for $5 at Half-Price Books last week, and love browsing through!  It's a 1965 reprint, but I love reading all the old recipes!  I want to try some of them out!

*The Coconut Chicken Salad at Cafe Brazil...Delicious!!  Oh, and being at Cafe Brazil with friends :)

*Discovering that I do NOT need to take a January Term class to graduate in May, like I thought I did.  Yay for a real winter break!

*Awesome Bible study tonight!  It was both deep, insightful, and hilarious.

*Skyping with my parents to help sort through all sorts of obscure Christmas decorations and childhood paraphernalia

*My confirmation class kids were engaged with the lesson this morning (but then, it DID involve popping balloons...and that's about all you need if you're a 12-year-old boy)

*Making strong progress on designing my independent study for the spring

*Getting to sleep in tomorrow morning!  Yeah!!

And those are some things that I love :)  What do you love?

Things I Love Thursdays

My friend Ashley has been doing this thing called TILT for the last year or so, otherwise known as "Things I Love Thursdays."  You can read about things she loves in more detail here.  I forget whether I've done a TILT post on this blog before, and if I have then there's no point in me explaining it.  In any case, since today is Thursday, I thought I'd list off some things that I love :)

*This new top I bought at Target yesterday:

*Saying intelligent things in my church history class and having my professor praise my Blackboard post

*The final segment of Lost in Austen that I'm currently watching

*Listening to The Band Perry while driving with the windows down*

*Saying "Molly, you in danger, girl" at random instances:

*Orange Chicken bowls at Panda Express

*Writing stream-of-conscious French poetry that sounds lovely when read aloud

*This picture:

*Summer weather in March

*New cookbooks

*This clip from Sense and Sensibility:

*Browsing ridiculous jewelry and dresses at the fancy mall with friends

*Reading through family genealogy charts

*Free boxes of Thin Mints

*This video:



*And, of course...the fact that in my present life, the weekend starts on Thursdays :)
