Despite the fact that I haven't had anything to drink in 26 weeks (but who's counting?) I woke up today (the 5th of July) feeling hopelessly hung over. All that independence celebrating (sitting in the shade by a pool) has me plum tuckered out and all I want to do is:
Stop back by tomorrow (the 7th) where we will be
and saying happy birthday to Ike (he's turning one) and my mom (she's turning a little older than one)
I want a new rug
One that won't make me sick
One that won't make me spend so hard
I think a Persian might do the trick
I want a new rug
One I hope won't shed
One that really catches the eye
One that just might be red
One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like it's a great value
Like it's a great value
I want a new rug
One that won't pill
One that won't cost too much
Or increase the bills
One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like it's a great value
Like it's a great value
I want a new rug
One that won't go away
One that won't make Ben put up a fight
When I say that it's got to stay
One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like it's a great value
Like it's a great value
I want a new rug
One that does what it should
One that doesn't make me feel too bad
One that does makes me feel oh so good
I want a new rug
One with no doubt
One that won't cost a lot
Or make the bank freak out
One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like it's a great value
Like it's a great value
Like it's a great value
Oh yeah, great value

Summertime gives me a naturegasm. With all the lush verdure, I sometimes feel like I can hear things growing, and it's good to be filled with a sense of purposeful renewal. That's why I'm so excited the nice folks at Woolly Pocket are sponsoring a GIVEAWAY for us, plus I'm guest posting over at their blog today. How's that for cross pollination? Now, what the bleep is a Woolly Pocket, you may ask? Friends, prepare to be amazed.
Woolly Pockets are gardening systems that can be used indoors or out. They're made from recycled materials formed into flexible, breathable pouches that have a moisture barrier so you can hang them on walls or set them right on your more delicate furnishings. All you have to do is add soil, plants, and water, and then -- blammo! Instant garden. You can read more about the how tos right here.
Wally is a modular, wall hung pocket that can be used outside to build a vertical garden, creating a cool oasis (ok, a pool helps, too).
Or Wally can be used inside to recycle all that dirty carbon dioxide you've been shuffling around.
Wally is space saving and maximizes moisture, so you don't have to water 1000x times a day.
Here are two Wally pockets placed side by side in the kitchen, where they're being used to grow all sorts of yummy edibles. Brilliant idea for those of us with small outdoor spaces, or poor growing conditions (hello, Austin!).
You know you want to try a Wally on for size, and today is your lucky day! We're giving away one lined Wally pocket in peacock blue, so you can use him indoors or out. All you have to do is leave a comment by 12 noon CST on Sunday the 13th for a chance to win. Due to shipping constraints, I'm afraid this contest is open to US residents only. The winner will be announced on Monday the 14th, so tune in to see if it's you... it might be.
Now I hope that you'll all hop over to the Woolly Pocket blog where I've written up a little guest post that includes lots of images designed to inspire you to get busy gardening, indoor style. You know you want to go to there, so what are you waiting for?
Go! Now!
But leave a comment first, ok?
