I Love...

I am so in love with The Pioneer Woman and her fun blog thepioneerwoman.com and tv cooking show on Food Network. Let's just say this... her and I have a lot in common. (She also thinks everyday should be chocolate day. I so agree with that!) And watching her show with Jared in the room confirms it. He was constantly saying, "She's exactly like you!". Maybe that's why we get along so well. Ok, in my make believe world we get along great. In reality she doesn't know who I am. But still, I'm very faithful to her blog and show. And that just might pay off for me one day. You know, when she decides she really wants to meet me and invites me and my cowboys to her ranch to meet her and her cowboys/cowgirls.

I can't wait for that day.

For her Valentine's post this year she wrote a list of things she loves and encouraged others to make one, too. And since we are like twins, I have to do one as well. Honestly, I really like this idea. Probably because I'm not one to get all mushy about Jared and our love saga. Ha, ha! Besides, I'm too considerate to make you sit and read through that. And, I would never write that anyways cause that's just not me. Give me real life. That's more interesting anyways.

So here's my Valentine's Day list. And don't mind all the mentions of food. I'm a food-aholic and not afraid to admit it. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
