10 things I love that start with the letter K!

Thank you to Wesilly for this prompt!

 

1. Kissing- Kissing is something that has become very intimate to me.  May-be its because I used up all my points earlier in my life, at bars, frat houses, and various cities throughout the American South and abroad.  May-be it's because men I barely know who are clients of mine think that they have the right to kiss me on the cheek, whilst my boss only has to put up with a firm hand shake, perverts.  On the flipside, I don't think I can hold a baby, especially a fat one, and not kiss the chubby little cheeks and blow strawberries in their neck (ie. if you are a stranger do not let me hold your baby).  I love kisses from friends family, and my fiance'-Le duh.

 

2. Keeping in touch- KIT! RHTS! LLYAS! I love and think I am pretty good at keeping in touch. I am especially proud of this because I am not really a phone talker. I will credit this ability to a few things: 1) I know men are complete retards at this, so if I want to have any of them in my life, the ball is always in my court.  2) I think my Mother regrets not being better at this throughout her life--where the hell was Facebook 30 years ago??--so therefore I have tried to not have the same regret.  3) I truly care about and choose the people I have in my life.  I want people to know I love them and that they are important.  A text, card, post, message, email, or visit goes a long way.  Plus I am scared to die alone so if I keep in touch with everyone, the chances of this decrease dramatically.

 

3. Kindness-  I am not sure how Webster would define it, but to me kindness is when people go out of their way to make others feel like they matter.  For example, I let Randall ramble on for a full five minutes before I tell him to shut up and get to the point of whatever drawn out story he is trying to tell me.  It is kind that I offer my boss gum, rather than telling him he may have a tumor in his throat based on the odor coming out of his mouth.  I wait until people leave the room before I talk about them.  I think to be described as kind would be a great honor. 

 

4. Karaoke- We have already established that I am a freak, so I can say this with full disclosure knowing that you have already judged me, I LOVE karaoke!!  --Clarification: I love to SING karaoke.  I do not give a shit about your rendition of "Boots with the furrr"-- I'll attribute this love to a few factors.  I love attention and performing, I like to think I perform everyday by being nice to people who are clearly idiots and deserve a slap in the face rather than the smile I so easily conjure up.  Two, I can actually sing and hate that I don't have more opportunities to do this in public.  The acoustics in my car are only so forgiving.  And finally, kararoke venues always serve alcohol.  Point made.

 

5. Karma- I LOVE Karma.  She is the bitch I don't have the strength to be.  Do the right thing and I believe it will come back to you.  I read a book the other day and a line in it read "the man exuded black energy".  Do not be that man.

 

6. KILLER Deals- Shopping is officially a sport in my book.  If you didn't get it on sale or dig out the last of your size from a bin, then you didn't try hard enough.  FAIL.  TJ Maxx is a pimp and I am his bitch.  I would go to TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Home Goods everyday if I did not already have a full time job.  I wish I had direct access to all of your credit cards because I see shit that you would like all the time and it's half the price you would pay retail. 

 

7. Kris Jenner (aka my mother)- First thing's first, my mom gets told she looks like Kris Jenner WEEKLY if not, daily.  It's hilarious.  My mom is beautiful, understanding, helpful, caring, fun, and a great listener.  I look forward to growing with her in our relationship as mother and daughter, but most importantly as friends. 

 

8. Kids- Kids in general are a riot and scary smart.  Once when I was babysitting a four year old turned me and said, "If Earth has earthquakes, does Venus have venusquakes?"  Seriously?!  Did I even know what the solar system was when I was four??  Kids are completely accepting, resilient, and brilliant until we screw them up or they become adults.  I think about having a family all the time.  I have always known that I wanted to be a mom and I cannot express how exciting it is to know who the father of my children will be. 

 

9. Knowledge- Have you ever listened to someone speak and thought, wow this person is fucking smart.  I love that feeling.  I also love when people take the time to educate themselves on every side of an issue, ie. political views.  Grain of salt folks, that's how I take my news and my tequila.  Knowledge truly is power though, and there is nothing like shutting someone up who has nothing but smoke coming out of their ass.

 

10. Kettle One- Kettle One is my jam.  I like it in on the rocks, I like it with juice.  I like it after work. I like it in the morning.  I like it at football games.  I like it on Sunday.  I like it at the bar.  I love it with friends.  I like it on my couch.  I do so like it, Sam I Am.
