So this week I’ve been trying something out before work. When I get up I don’t turn on music or hulu. I know this seems silly but I like noise. I like it all the time. I’ve had it pointed out to me that its not necessarily a good thing, that I may be trying to block out some thoughts that I don’t want to deal with. So I’m giving up the noise when I need to be focusing on something like blogging or getting ready for work, there will be no background tv maybe some light music but that just depends. I’m going to try an have my first 5 min in the car be silent as well. This give me time to pray and think through my day, its nice really. I like it, so far.
Wednesday
Yesterday on the way home I kept the radio off for the first 5 min. It was nice but I found myself watching the clock. Another thing to get used to. This morning was easier however I had to cheat a little we had a storm last night so I turned it on listened to traffic and then turned it off for the 5 min. It was nice, it also helped me focus on the crazy traffic.
I’ve also notice that I’m calmer, weird but true could something so simple really affect me that much? I just don’t feel as rushed….hummm
Thursday
This morning was hard I wanted to turn on the TV so bad this morning, I don’t know why. I don’t understand what my draw is to the noise. But I didn’t. I also learned something to help me not be tempted I need to turn off the radio every time I get out of the car.
I seem to have it more together, a little more organized. I think I’m going to like this.

Maybe its just me but I like it when Mac and I shop together. I feel like I get to know him more. His food likes and dislikes (I know for the most part but its easy to get stuck in a rut.) His style (which is changing a bit.) Plus we talk, not about anything too in depth obviously but still we talk. I like it very much, maybe you should try it.
What everyday thing do you enjoy doing with your spouse?

A while back I talked about my purchase of a ‘grow light’ for starting seeds indoors. Well last night I got to use it.
First I had to go to Home Depot and buy starter mix, because well I bought everything but that….oops.
Then I had to clear off the space I wanted to use…who knew a laundry room could be so dirty, yikes. Yes my washer and dryer are two different colors, that is how you get a great deal let me tell ya.
Then I gathered up all of my supplies
Then I put my starter pellets (coconut fiber from Burpee) in the container and added water to make them grow, crazy.
Finally I got to start planting. For now my flowers, peppers, and both kinds of tomatoes I will start my herbs and green beans closer to the last frost.
Ready to grow!
How this is green:
- The pots I”m using are organic and biodegradable, there will be no waste from them in the future when I transplant.
- The seedling pods are coconut fiber which is highly renewable.
- The cost and emissions from shipping seeds is considerably less than shipping plants.
- Cuts down on the shipping of the produce because I”m not buying shipped produce.
- No pesticides
- Plus it just plain saves money!
Have you ever grown your own seeds before? Did you ahve any luck?
Would you buy a mismatched laundry set?
