Green Up My Life, I Promise!

Yaaa, we're still here! Those smart guys are pretty smart. One scientist said while being interviewed today, "No black holes yet..." Well hallelujah! More time to blog and really enjoy life...

Which reminds me of what I was thinking while waiting at the Dr's office today...shoot blogs are supposed to be short and to the point. I think I'm too long-winded to blog about recycling minds. Heck, it'll end up being a two pager and that ain't cool.

Anywhoo, I was thinking about how fast life passes. I'm approaching 40 within the next couple of weeks and see how fast time flew by. I don't understand how it went so fast but it did. I decided to really get into the recycling thang. I had just thrown away an empty plastic bottle in haste after finding it outside on the grass instead of putting it in the plastic bag I kept in the garage for recyclable plastics. Unacceptable, I proclaimed to myself.

After I left the doctor's I went to buy a big 'ole green garbage pail since the co. who picks up our trash doesn't supply them anymore. :( Way to encourage recycling. Hmph. So I found one for 13 bucks at True Value but they had a small actual recycling bin for, like, 19.00?! Why? Well the sales guy said b/c the recycling emblem was on there.

Sooo...I'll be painting that on the front myself with some white outdoor paint. Pictures of my recycle arrow circle design coming soon. I know ya'll don't know me but drawing is so not my talent...we'll see how it turns out. I think I'll try to trace it or something first.

Okay, so back to life going so fast...If I have a day or a decade or fifty more years left to live, no matter how fast it goes, I am gonna make a conscious effort to make one "green" habit a week. If I live to be 90 then that's...oh gosh, where's the calculator? That's about 600 months to become the greenest granny (or great granny) in the universe, ya heard? That'll be something the earth will thank me for as it spins feverishly into my 50's and beyond. Sloooooow down Mama Earth!

Seriously though, life is short but you don't have to leave the living without adding some "green meaning" Besides laughing a heck of alot, living for the good passion(s) in your life...don't forget to thank the earth that sustains ya.
