{T.I.L. #2}

I'm just getting back from a visit to California this weekend, but that is not what this post is about. This post is less important but leads to important news. 

I know this seems silly but it is true. I grew up in Natchez, MS and Taco Casa was our saving grace in that tiny little mall. We looked forward to eating there every Saturday after shopping with our mom at McRae's (read in MS accent: Muh-Craaaaeeys) and charging it all on those new-fangled things called charge cards. Oh, the 80's.

I forgot all about Taco Casa until last year when I saw it in Denton and realized it was the same chain as when I was a kid. And it tasted the same! Those bean burrito memories sure are strong. 

But to be honest, I'm kind of getting sick of Taco Casa now. I've had so many mild bean burritos with no onions lately...they are really cheap and filling. And I need cheap and filling when I have just signed my life away to a 15 year mortgage. Did you hear that?

I bought a house, y'all.

Things I Love Series

One February, 2 years ago, I wanted to share about some topics that were near and dear to me. My idea was to share some 'Things I Love' {or T.I.L.} each day for the whole month. Well, as with most things, my intentions are better than my actions. But hey, at least I know myself, amiright?

Sooooo, since it is February, the month of love, I thought I'd share some more Things I Love. They will be listed in no particular order (ok I lie a little...a few are in a particular order) and I will try so so hard to post one each day because I know your quality of life depends on it. If you want to start with the first batch of Things I Love, you can see them here on my About Me Page.

Here is #1 for 2015:

God's Circus (and I'm a clown)

I often perceive God’s Kingdom as a serene natural sanctuary. But sometimes, the Kingdom of God (on this earth) feels less like a peaceful sunset at the lake and more like a three-ring circus.

Princess & the Pantry: For the Love of Salad

So, by now you should know that I love Ball jars. But remember? We agreed to call them Mason jars because of the whole 'scream-out-inappropriate-but-accidental-word-choices' thing. There's nothing a good Mason jar can't do. Except maybe to bring me a husband. {C'mon Mason jars, he's out there somewhere!}

You know what I haven't loved? Salad.

I have done very few things for 10 years

Throughout the day, I often think about life in a series of blog posts. 'Oooh, that would be funny on the P' or 'I could turn that pic into a post' 

I mean, I found these in a parking space one time. C'mon people! Doesn't a blog post just spring to mind?!

But then life happens and I don't. Or I sit down to write it and it seems silly to even put it into black & white.
