Energy/Drinks.

I don't care what anybody says.

I think windmills are gorgeous. 

I think it's funny when people think that they are an eyesore or that they don't belong. 

I have always been fascinated by them.

ENERGY.

Well, I've needed a lot of literal energy lately, but I will take this. Kahuku has finally developed a wind farm and the mills are HUGE. I didn't realize the vast size of them until I was driving past today and I actually pulled over to take a photo. 

The farm consists of twelve 400-foot-tall windmills, many of which are seen from Kamehameha highway. They are estimated to generate about 30 megawatts of electricity, enough to power nearly 7,700 homes per year.

Ah-maze-ing. 

On another note, my roommate brought home some large limes yesterday. All I could think about? LIMEADE.

With a twist...

I went to my old house the other day and scavenged around for the juicer that I paid six bucks for at Foodland last year. To my delight, it was hiding in the back of the cupboard and I nicked it. 

TRY IT! Don't be spooked by the leafy green floaties.

* one cup lime juice

* four cups water

* four packets Stevia

* one handful of Cilantro, chopped

You will not regret it. 

Mi Casa.

It's been awhile, but THIS is my new house.

After living 2 years in Hau'ula (and fearing for my life on several occassions),

I finally made the move back to Laie. 

 There is even a cute little yard...

 The couch in my room was a horrible floral design that looked like it should come out of a church building from the 1980's...so, I bought a canvas paint drop cloth, made a few stitches, attached one beige colored flower, and TADA! I have a new looking couch. If you don't like it now...you should have seen it before. Yikes.

 One more grandma chair in the corner. 

Although I now work in the "big" city, I feel like Laie is the place for me. I truly don't mind the drive most days. (MOST days.) 

To beach: .1 miles

To Foodland: .1 miles

To work: 35 miles

Which of these is more important?? That's right, the beach.

Website.

I realize that all I have been blogging about lately is WORK.

I apologize. 

I promise now that the Grand Opening is over I will get back to "normal" life and start talking about something new. However, please take a moment to look at how sexy the hotel I work at is. They FINALLY put real pictures up on the website.

The Waikiki EDITION

And seriously....I promise I will find other exciting things in my life to talk about. Thanks for bearing with me.

Happy Birthday Darling.

Sarah

You are so cool.

I love the person that you are and the friend that you are to me.

Thank you for being so phenomenal.

I have a love/hate relationship with the fact that we live so far away from each other. I hate that I never get to see your face and love the fact that I can call you at 3 in the morning when I'm having a spout of insomnia or a long drive home from work.

You are wonderful, beautiful, talented, fun, and spectacular in so many ways.

I like you lots.

Love you more.

Miss you daily.

Happy Birthday Darling!
