Today marks week 3 (THREE!! GAH!) that I have been battling the world’s most annoying cold/plague.  I just can’t seem to kick it and it was really starting to wear me down.

So today, I decided to stay in my jammies.  They just so happened to be GREEN jammies, so I thought I’d showcase them!

I happen to love my jammies very much.

Look, I’ve been with the same guy for 11 years and I have two small children.  To think that I float into my bedroom every night wearing something silky and skimpy is just stupid.  When it’s time for bed, it’s time for COMFORT!  And it also needs to be something that I can wear in the mornings while feeding and wrangling two very rambunctious little boys.

Today was a beautiful and warm day here.  I opened all of my windows (much to the horror of my sinuses) and enjoyed the breeze moving through my home, instantly making everything fresh.  My spirits were lifted.

If you look closely at the picture above (I’d prefer if you didn’t!) you’ll notice some wonky things about walls and ceilings going on.  Well, we’ve been doing a massive kitchen renovation 100% by ourselves and paid for 100% with cash.  That basically means that we started it last July and still have a long ways to go before it is finished.  So, my house is NOT photograph ready.  Excuse the mess.

Also, I’d like to submit a FORMAL apology to my new bloggy friend, Carrie.  I left a comment on one of her #17DaysofGreen posts and accidentally called her husband “chunky” instead of “hunky.”

Technology gods, save me from myself!

I have a new Kindle Fire and have been using it to do my social network thing, and the autocorrect on that thing has been slowly trying to ruin my life.  Turning “hunky” into “chunky” is the most famous example so far.  I’m so sorry!!

Today’s green thing, like most of the green things I’ve shown on here, make me extremely happy.

My sprouts from the seeds that I started last week.

I love growing certain foods at my own home, and now that I have a big backyard, I go all out!  Last year I planted an apple tree in my back yard, I also have a blueberry tree, lemon tree, lime tree, orange tree, fig tree, and coffee plants in pots.

I always plant tomatoes.  ALWAYS.  Tomatoes are one of the easiest things to grow, even more so that some herbs.

I’ve got big plans for this year though.  I’m building a raised garden bed out of old bricks that I tore up from my backyard last year.  RECYCLING!

Here is what I have started so far:

10 tomato plants, including 2 heirloom varieties.

6 pepper plants.  Some are bell, some are spicy.

12 herbs.

2 cabbage plants.

2 Arugulas.

2 onion starters.

4 cucumber plants, 2 different types.

I have yet to start my:

corn

green beans

carrots

summer squash

lettuce

Hopefully my garden is a success this year.  I did all potted patio gardening last year and did relatively well.  This year I have a compost bin filled to the top with black gold and I’m hoping for a freezer full of garden grown veggies this fall!

I love bath night.  I love the way my babies smell after a bath and how they love to snuggle after a bath.

And I LOVE hooded towels.

Can you see why?
