Save The Whales & Tea.....

You're probably wondering how these two subjects even remotely go together. Well, I was sipping some of that awesome "100 Monkeys" tea that I recently got from "BloominTea". The teas are wonderful & so very reasonably priced. You really should check them out for yourself ~ *Yum* ~ you won't be sorry, I promise. So, while I'm sipping this wonderful tea, I start thinking about the last time we were up in Boston visiting Wayne's family {that's where he's from ~ damn Yankee}. You know, The Boston Tea Party, etc., etc., and then I start thinking about going Whale Watching and how much fun we had ~ it was really awesome. I actually adopted a Humpback named "Colt". If you ever want to go see him, you can visit "Stellwagen Bank" in Gloucester, MA. "The Whale Center of New England" will take you out there. Most of the guides have been studying these Whales for years and are very knowledgeable about them. I didn't get a picture of Colt's "fluke" {tail} because he don't show it that often. I did, however, get a picture of one of his friend's named "Coral":
We had a wonderful time. Wayne's Mom & Brother came with us. Hopefully, we will be going back next Spring, after we get moved to North Carolina & all settled in.

Now I need to run and get a few things made, including another one of these awesome necklaces. You know where to find them, if you decide you need one for yourself:

I hope you are having a wonderful week so far. Please do leave me comments now & then. I love to hear from all of my friends. Thanks for reading my ramblings.

xx00 & peace ~ Kathy

Look Both Ways & Concentration ~

So today I have a combination {quote & picture} that I'm sharing with you. I hope you enjoy it, I certainly do. And by now you are asking "what is that song playing & where did it come from". Well my little friends, it's from the Soundtrack "Look Both Ways", which is an awesome movie. It's an Australian movie that we watched a few nights ago on the "Sundance" channel. So if you are ever looking for a great little movie to watch, I would suggest it highly. And, the soundtrack is ultra awesome. Every song is really really good. I'm going to share another one in a couple of days, after everybody gets a chance to hear this one playing now. Of course, you can always stop it after you've heard enough, just by clicking on the little "square" button. Even the artwork on the CD is awesome:
So today while I'm listening to my new CD, I'm doing laundry and using this new stuff that I got @ Target. It is 3X ultra concentrated and you only have to use a tiny cap full for a whole load of wash. I just didn't see how such a small amount {which is less than what I take in NyQuil sometimes, but I'll save that story for a later post} can get my cloths clean. I guess I'm just old school and used to pouring in at least a cup full of detergent for each load. Everything looks & smells clean so far, so I guess it's working. I really like the idea of "less is more" and the more things I can do to contribute to a healthier & cleaner environment I'm all for. I don't know if I'm totally bought in to the whole "Global Warming" thing, but I do know that there are things everybody can do to make the world a better place. So the next time you need laundry detergent, give this a "spin". I promise you will feel better about doing laundry:

And so my friends, I'm off to do some Taxes {I said it, so now I've committed}. The very last ones for this year. Or, I may just watch this again:

Hope you all have a great Thursday!

xxoo ♥ & peace ~ Kathy
