The Great Gatsby

I am so anxious to see The Great Gatsby!  I think next weekend it will be a date!  I don't know if I am more in love with the previews and the suspense of what I "think" it might be like, or the actual movie itself.  Ha!

OHHHH so exciting and thrilling, can't wait!

And I am ampped about the theme song on the trailer too.  I am not a Kanye fan, but I am definitely a Jay-Z fan and I love that this song made the list for the trailer.

Hawaiian records from Kona Koast

When Kona Koast closed its doors here in Lebanon, I was beyond upset.  It was one of my most favorite places to go and just get away for an hour or two.  They offered tanning, massage, pedicures, manicures, and many other services that allowed for the person to just drift away and the owners made you feel like family.

Kona Koast was a pretty neat place because once you walked through the doors it was almost like you stepped onto the Hawaiian islands.  The day before they shut the doors I took the chance to snap a few shots of their wall decor, which was all Hawaiian vinyls, and other Hawaiian items like an instruction manual on HULA dancing.

Eco-Tip:  Be sure and recycle every chance you get.  If a place takes back what they sold you to recycle it, take advantage of this option.  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.

That's one way to get a drink

I'm having fun with GIFs again!  This time I caught Meia snatching a drink from a water glass.  Very canny,  right?  

Funny stuff.

Eco-Tip:   Consider canceling your newspaper subscription and reading the newspaper site online instead.  If you insist on still having the newspaper in hand to read it, be sure to compost it or repurpose it in other ways once you're done.  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.

A few rainbows in the sky here in Oregon

I get real bummed when I see the rain and for anyone that knows me well, I get REAL bummed when I haven't seen the sun in a day.  But sometimes you have to look pass the rain and look for the rainbow.

Storm clouds were rolling in.

  

And as quickly as the storm came in, it was gone just as fast.  

Eco-Tip:  Don't forget, now that winter is over and your fireplace isn't being used for the remainder of the season, add you fireplace ash to the compost pile.  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.
