A { Hair } Makeover & Random Facts about Kim

Well, no home makeover project photos to share today, but last night I did get a hair makeover. I didn't think to take a "before" shot, but my hair was lightish brown, long and all one length. I got about 8 or 9 inches of my hair cut {yes, it really was long!}. I don't often color my hair but whenever I do, I'm drawn to red. Go figure! So here are some after photos as well as some random facts about moi...


I will be 36 in January.

I've been married for 17 years.

I have 3 children - all girls going on age 15, 10, and 9.

They were born in three completely different settings - the 1st at the hospital, the 2nd at home, and the 3rd ant a birth center. Two were with the help of midwives.


I was injured {whiplash} on a wooden roller coaster 14 years ago which later resulted in the onset of fibromyalgia. It has been challenging and life changing both to me and my family, and I don't feel that I'm the same person I would be without it. {Life goes on though - just at a slower pace!}

I'm an introvert. To say that I'm not a party animal is a grand understatement. When I do go to a social event where there will be lots of people and activity, I have to take a nap afterward - and most definitely before.

I cannot kill bugs and spiders. I just "rehome" them if necessary.

I'm a huge, HUGE Little House on the Prairie fan, both of the books and the show.

I have a kind of crazy sense of style. My purple or hot pink or turquoise or RED tights make my heart skip a beat.

I watch very little TV...We got rid of our cable a few months ago.

I love reading historical fiction and nonfiction. I'm currently into reading books that center around the Civil War. I've never read Gone With the Wind but purchased it last week.

My brain is not a sponge. It is a sieve and I remember very few details of what I read.

I tend to be scatterbrained and confuse easily {myself and others...} and tend to be unorganized. He won't say it but I think it kind of drives Hubs crazy.

I read to my daughter's class on Fridays.

I am and will always be a loner of sorts. It's a personal preference. When Hubs says "call a girlfriend and go out", I grab a coffee and a book instead. I think having 3 children has something to do with that - Solitude is a wonderful gift.

Many years ago, I was a web designer.

I do not observe holiday celebrations though I am a devoted Christian, baptized in 1989.

I do not adore sports. The raucous of roaring crowds and the droning voices of sports announcers on TV during games makes me feel on edge. Hubs loves football.

Old houses also make my heart skip a beat.



So there you have it - a few random things you may or may not have known about me. Enthralling, eh? I hope you all have a great week! We'll be busy laying hardwood flooring in a couple of days and I have the task of removing everything from the living room. Now where to put it all?
