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!

I'm loving the fact that after much talk, this week I have finally started P90X!! Absolutely incredible workout. Hands down the toughest routines I've ever done... I can't wait till I'm in such great shape I don't have to do the modified exercises! I'm not brave enough to post pics just yet, but perhaps when I've achieved my bikini bod I'll have no problem showing the before & after! If you're trying to get in the best shape of your life, head on over to P90X and check it out. My legs feel like jello and I've sweated like a maniac, but I love every minute of it. : )

I'm loving the fact that people actually want to buy the hair accessories I've been making out of thrifted material and scraps of fabric. I make them for fun & wear them to work and this week I found myself with 3 orders from people. Huh? OK... why not?

I'm loving the fact that I just got asked to be a bridesmaid (it's ok, I'm a professional) in Kim's wedding! This girl was like a little sister to me growing up... her mom was my dance teacher for more years than I can remember and she and I got into our fair share of trouble together... and now she's all grown up and getting married!

Kim's senior pic 

That's Kim in the center with her arm up and I'm to her right showing my bloomers...??





HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!

Head on over to this kind of love to link up!

I'm loving lists. I always have, but lately I have a new commitment to writing daily lists and GETTING THINGS DONE! It feels amazing.

 I'm loving Legend Brewery. Fantastic beer, gorgeous patio, and a great view of Richmond. I'm a fan of the Doppleboch & Porter... mmmmm...

  

I'm loving The Hangover 2. I mean, WOOOOOW. Hysterical and shocking and over the top... and despite (or perhaps because of) all the debauchery it made me want to go back to Bangkok.

 I'm loving cute cover ups! I refuse to wear a ratty T-shirt and gym shorts over my hot new swimsuit... 

 

Happy Wednesday!!

I'm loving quotations. I just adore little nuggets of wisdom so much that I fill notebooks and journals and scrapbooks with them! Here are a few I randomly saved on my computer once upon a time:

I'm loving my new channel on Pandora: Susan Tedeschi, Amos Lee, Ben Harper, Ray Lamontagne, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals.... to name a few.

I'm loving Limoncello! This Italian liqueur is perfect for summer... add it to champagne (I do love the bubbly), splash it in your margarita, add it to your martini, mix it with ice tea, or blend it with frozen lemonade. It's sweet, but in a tart sort of way. My favorite new cocktail recipe is the Pink Cello: 3 oz Absolut (I like Mandarin), 1 oz Limoncello, 1 oz cranberry juice

I'm loving all the maxi dresses that are everywhere! So feminine and comfortable.

Have a lovely Wednesday!!

I'm loving that next weekend I'll be heading up to New York City and a lovely Connecticut suburb to see my 2 of my dearest college friends, MaryAllen & Jen (+ Jen's sister Kelly)!

Clemson Football 2010

I especially love that I'll be taking the train. I love flying, but sometimes it's nice to take a leisurely train ride (with roomy seats and minimal luggage/security hassle) into the heart of the city. I haven't been since October!!
 

I'm loving that the whole reason for my trip is Jen's baby shower. I still can't believe she's having a baby!! I can't wait to tell this kid how nuts her mom was in college.

I'm loving the fact that I'll be staying in Manhattan at MaryAllen's apartment & we'll just be heading to Jen's for the day. No offense, Connecticut!

Happy Wednesday!
