My new babies/friends/plants

As you may have heard (I'm betting you didn't) approx. 2 days after I wrote the post about Spring coming, we had a huge snow storm that left like 2 feet of snow. Now it's down to more like 1 foot. I'm telling you this to explain my absence from blogging.

I was sad.

Okay, actually I just snickered (nose laughed) to myself because I wasn't really THAT sad. It's MARCH and that's what happens! But the sucky thing was that the day before it snowed I went to Home Depot to look at one thing and walked away with $Hmm worth of plants. Mainly indoor plants. I just couldn't take it anymore (no flowers) so I decided to buy some friends. Plus, all my friends are having babies so I needed to join in on the nurturing. This was while AJ was gone, so I just kinda went for it, and I don't think he has still really noticed all of them yet.

I got a spiky guy, an orchid, a flower growing kit for my kitchen window (metal thing with dirt and seeds), an aloe plant and another deserty looking plant for my office, and a bag of flower bulbs. I was going to plant the bulbs that night, but I never got around to it. Then it snowed, so, you know.

Parked in the garage for now

Behold! Life springs forth in my kitchen window!


When AJ got home he noticed the spiky guy in the living room, and Grizzly growled at it. Haha. Now he gets really interested when I water it with my spray bottle, and if he tries to eat one of the leaves I spray him with the bottle. He sort of hates it but I think he loves it too, because then he wants me to do it again, signified by his butt in the air and growling sounds.

That paragraph was about Grizzly, not AJ. Gotta watch my pronouns...

That night AJ saw the orchid I put in our bathroom, and he was like, "what's the deal with all these fake plants?" UM, they're real. Oh yeah guys, they're all real.

So that's it. That's what you've been waiting for over a week to hear about.

I obviously don't know all the correct names for the plants I've purchased. I mean, I can go check their tags but I don't feel like it right now. So if anyone has any name suggestions for my new plants, I'll take em :)

In other news, Grizzly turns 5 months old tomorrow! He weighs a little more than 40 lbs now, is huge, and just got a big-boy collar with a personalized tag! So now he's jingly and I can hear him wherever he goes. No hair-cut yet, but you better bet I'll post pictures when he gets it!

He approves of the new rug, too.
