Link up at this kind of love to play along!

I'm loving that today is my Mom's birthday!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Hope you are able have a relaxing birthday.... ha!

Wait.. has my Mom ever had a relaxing day? Between 6 kids, 3 grandchildren, a nursing career (and now a new legal nurse consulting business), dozens of animals including dogs, cats, ducks, peacocks, fish, turtles, hamsters, gerbils, etc etc etc.... I'm not sure I've ever known Mom to have a "me day."

So here's to hoping that you spend your time in a lounge chair in the sun. Promise to make you a strawberry margarita next time I see you!

I'm loving braids! Ever since I had hair long enough to fasten into a braid, I've been a fan. My older cousins taught me to french braid when I was really young, plus I was a child of the 80's so I often begged Mom to create all kinds of funky braided hairdos.

I'm loving the fact that my niece Katelyn is spending the summer with her Dad on the East Coast. She's in my time zone... hooray!! Hopefully I'll get to see her in about 2 weeks! I'm loving that she's so grown up she even has a prepaid cell phone for the summer. I'm pretty sure her Mama meant for it to be for emergencies, but she calls me every other day to discuss

Justin Bieber.

Jammin to the Beib.

I'm loving my dogs.... Rocko & Bowser....as always, of course... but it's just that I recently spent a whole week apart from my furbabies and it's so good to have them stinking up my car again, shedding all over my clothes, and snoring loudly on the couch beside me.

I'm loving the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. I'm a nutrition nut struggling to navigate my way through marketing ploys, scientific research, hype, quacks, southern cooking, locally grown produce, social eating, and everything between. I may not always make the healthy choice, but I am determined to eliminate the crap from my diet once and for all. I believe food is the most important medicine around when it comes to preventative care.

I've always been fascinated with the concept of fasting, and I've even tried a few detoxes in the past. All the major world religions embrace fasting. It's been practiced since history has been recorded. This film was incredibly inspirational and I'm about two seconds from splurging on my very own juicer.

Have a fabulous Wednesday!

HeadCase by KB- Facebook

HOORAY for new orders!! Some of my friends & coworkers have convinced me to get business cards and set up an official facebook page (not just a measly group) and thanks to their enthusiasm I will spend the weekend making HeadCase accessories!

At first I thought it was cute because I was filling orders for people I know, but now I suddenly have strangers asking for clips and headbands and I'm a little shocked that these boogers are selling. Did that sound lame? Yes. I'm not supposed to admit that. Oh well.

Anyway, I just created the facebook page today and I'd love some new friends!! Find me at http://www.facebook.com/headcase.bykb and tell your friends!!


My fav model, Zoe

As always, most of the material I use comes from thrift stores, yard sales, and donated/unwanted scraps of fabric headed for the garbage. Thrifty AND green.... gotta love that!

Ya Know You're Funny, Honey?

I despise drinking out of anything plastic.

I set my alarm for random times, never on the hour/half hour/quarter hour.

I rarely eat a meal; I eat snacks all throughout the day.

I don't own a television. Anything worth watching is available on Netflix/Hulu.

I can't stand romantic comedies. I like my predictable movies to have explosions and martial arts and Jason Statham.

I judge you by the beer you drink. I can't help it. I take brew very seriously. If you have no imagination, I notice.

If we're hanging out and you start texting, I'll ditch you faster than you can type OMG.

I drink my coffee black and grind it myself.

I prefer to stand up when I read or study.

I refuse to get a smartphone. I have no desire to be that available.

I'm really peculiar about personal space. I'm not into hugging unless I know you well and feel affectionate towards you (this is not a big group of people). I just think it's strange to smash your danger zone against those of another person you don't know well or don't really like.

I don't cook but I love to clean.

Most times I'd rather walk than drive.

I pack light. I'm not into excess baggage... it makes for an unpleasant journey.

I'm claustrophobic when it comes to things like crawl spaces and caves and small tunnels. I can't even talk about it without feeling a tightness in my chest...

I rarely wear my hair the same way two days in a row.

My toenails are ALWAYS painted.

I have a freakishly high tolerance to drugs/alcohol. Example: I woke up during oral surgery and knocked all the instruments off a table.

I have 4 brothers and a sister, and I'm the bossy mediator-middle child.

I have a super sensitive nose and sometimes if I see a person heading my direction that looks like the type to wear too much perfume, without thinking I automatically hold my breath until they pass me by. Stinky stuff gives me monster headaches.

I know I'm quirky, but I'm cool with that.

Current Book(s):

I bought this in an airport when my flight was delayed-delayed-delayed-delayed-cancelled. I was too exhausted to actually read it at the time, but now

that I'm home I try to sneak away to the roof deck on sunny days and read about a bunch of WASPs sorting their lives out on a tiny island getaway with no

phones, television, internet, or even a grocery store.

I'm actually reading this for the second time. It's not exactly a page-turner, but I'm a history lover this book dishes out all the dirt you won't find in your high school history text. For example, the controversial war hero had an inauguration that resembled a frat party with people literally crawling in the windows of the White House and rolling barrels of whiskey and rum punch onto the lawn.

Current Playlist:

I'm rekindling my love affair with country music! I'd lost hope for a while there.. I cant stand the overproduced pretty-boy garbage that turned me off of any new country music for the past 10 years.. but after seeing Eric Church in concert, I realized the jukebox in the corner of my mind had room for plenty more

new & old REAL country music. : )

ERIC CHURCH

TRACE ADKINS

KENNY CHESNEY

BROOKS & DUNN

PAT MCGEE

ZAC BROWN BAND

GEORGE STRAIT

DIXIE CHICKS

Current Color:

I can't get enough coral!!

Current Drink:

black coffee

Current Food:

snacking on some wild cherries

Current Favorite Show:

OK so I don't own a television, but my dear friends at Netflix were convinced I'd enjoy Sons of Anarchy and they were right! Occasionally I run across a fantastically written well-cast gangster drama and I'm hooked. Sopranos, The Brotherhood, The Wire...

and now, Sons of Anarchy. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

Current Wishlist:

How about some new aviators? I managed to step on mine yesterday at the pool!

Current Needs:

A week or two in South Carolina to see my faraway friends! I miss y'all!

Current Triumphs:

My recent closet upheaval! I can now see the floor and I don't have

to carefully wedge hangers in a giant crowded mess to hang up my clothes.

Current Bane of My Existence:

Gas prices. To a spontaneous road trip lover like myself, it's utterly crippling.

Current Celebrity Crush:

Bear Grylls. Forever & always. He can drink pee, eat live snakes, and give himself an enema on international television and still be sexy. Now that's a MAN.

Current #1 Blessing:

I'm pretty excited to be blessed with the family and friends I have. : )

Current Indulgence:

Doing absolutely nothing on my day off. I like to call it a "mental health day."

Current Outfit:

H & M Floral print sundress I got last summer. Camera is officially broken, so you'll just have to take my word that it's cute and VERY comfy.

Current Excitement:

This time next week I'll be strolling down the streets of beautiful NYC!

Current Mood:

Relaxed

10 Things I Love

My dear friend Heather at Greers Gossip recently posted about

10 things that she loves, and who doesn't love to love? I've known Heather since we were kids & she's the kind of girl that can always see the positive in any situation. She makes me laugh till my sides ache and she is perpetually sunny. So when she tagged me in her post, I thought how fitting it is that I should be invited by Heather to blog about things that I love, things that I'm thankful for...things that just make life sweeter.

Since it's meant to be a "fun list," I'm excluding the obvious: family, friends, pets, alma mater, etc. Also, I narrowed my list a bit more by keeping it strictly things (no people or places... just thing things).
