I don’t know why this post turned out to be about plants. I meant for it to be about candy bars and 300 children outside in our neighborhood at the same time.
I have so much to tell you, people, and I’m so irritated with myself that I have failed to blog for the last week or two. Halloween happened and that was pretty much pandemonium mixed with high fructose corn syrup and red dye number 3. Also, what the heck is wrong with my potted plants? They’re just dying and I have no idea why. I suppose it could be lack of water. Do potted plants get thirsty?
I have one that looks completely dead but is now growing a bell pepper. I don’t even know what’s going on there. Maybe it’s undead. Can plants be undead?
My giant peace lilly, which I named Jessica (I always name my plants after my frends) was quite happy indoors but Lucy likes to such on her blooms for some reason, and it just so happens that lilly blooms are poisonous to adorable little girls. And all other people.
So I had to move my giant peace lilly to the out of doors and while it’s not so much dying, it’s definitely unhappy with me for choosing my year and a half old daughter over her.
Marty, my ponytail palm, is doing well. That thing can be ignored for 8 months and still truck through and look deep green and beautiful, but Lucy likes to pull my other palm, Lauren, apart. And, while Lauren is not dead, she sure looks as though she’s been living in the middle of a Kindercare center for the last year.
By now you must be wondering what the heck I’m blogging about my plants for. I am wondering the same thing and I’m blaming it on the time change.
I have a picture of myself for you today. It’s me in costume.
And I’ll be your best friend if you know who I am in the picture.

Um…
Does this mean we have to be besties now? I like you and all, Master J, but that just feels weird.
No I’m just saying. I guess it’s like a “hey look at me, I know the answer! Ahaha!” kind of thing. I have no problems whatsoever letting the best friend status go to someone else. So instead I’ll just take a prize. A go-kart will do. Maybe a sticker if you’re short on go-karts.

I know you and I know who you are. Sorry Mr. T, I win.
I call best friends with Rabbit!
Done.
Yay!
But….what about my sticker?

Uh…
Fine, I’ll just go stickerless.

Fine. You can have a sticker. I’ll search through my sticker stash for a special one just for you.
Yessssss

What??? Why do you not have a plant named Heather? You better not make me be the undead pepper plant. And I have no idea who you are, but you look tough and cool.
My Mandevilla is Heather. She’s thriving wonderfully on the front porch. I still need to get a few more because I have a couple more friends to accidently forget to water.
Awesome!!!
Are you saying I’m toxic? I suppose that is ok, I would rather not be chewed on. And at least I smell nice.
I named the lilly after you before she got all PMS-y and before I knew she was toxic. Still, she’s put up with quite a bit of crap and is still pushing through so I guess it kind of fits.
I like the fact that I can still look good whilst being ignored
But don’t tell Rob because I don’t want him to ignore me because I am positive that wouldn’t be pretty and would probably involve the ugliest color of toe nail polish I could find.
Why wouldn’t you let me comment on the post below this one? I wanted to say that I was glad you explained the drawing because seriously I thought the title could be, “It’s all fun and games until someone gets an eye poked out.”

I don’t think Rob would ignore you if he could beceause he seems to really like you quite a bit.
I don’t know why you couldn’t comment on the drawing post. Did I disable comments accidentally or something? I’ll have to look into it.
The BOWLER! You look awesome as her, but you look awesome anyway.
Yay! You have just achieved at least 3 more awesome points, Lauren, for knowing about Baby Bowler. She’s my favorite superhero.
Agreed.
You definitely rocked it.
