I was AAALMOST asleep until...

I was AAALMOST asleep until I just now heard Faith fart in her sleep. It must have scared her awake because she jumped up and ran away and I cannot stop laughing. 😂😂😂 Dogs are amazing. 😛

Look at my plants. (Please.) 😍

Look at my plants. (Please.) 😍

This is part of the HUGE Texas Nipple Cactus I inherited from Shaun's dad. It was split into 19 different pots, so I chose a few pots to keep for myself and combined them into this one. Considering how bendy and differently - sized (and prickly!) all of the pieces are I'm really proud of how this turned out. I did it all bare-handed. I'm starting to not even be phased by cactus splinters. 😂😂😂

This is the baby Sago Palm I picked up today. I'm so excited to have her. I will repot her soon. ❤️

This little weirdy to the left is blooming. 😍

A few things I potted up recently. I didn't really take this photo with the intent to share, but then I noticed Jaws in the back. It might be time to dig out my googly eyes. 😂😂😂

I had another great day. ☺️

I had another great day. ☺️

I picked up a piece of Sago Palm in Southside and Shaun came along for the ride. Ok, I knew the name was "palm" but the lady had a mature one and it's legit a tree! Her largest one was about as tall as I am (so not very 😂). But it was so beautiful and now I have a baby tree!

After that we went to El Tapatio since we'd never been there before. THEN, we went to Pet Supermarket and it was a really nice place. We got to pet some bunnies! OMG, they MELTED my heart! After that we went to Krispy Kreme where I had THE FRESHEST DOUGHNUT EVER. Honestly, it was still warm and SO GOOD! The we shopped around a couple other places and went home. I got a pair of sandals on clearance and I like them a lot.

I feel so good lately. I feel so grateful for my family and I just want to spend time enjoying them.

Also, look at this hottie. Just LOOK AT HIM. He always tries not to smile in pictures but I got one. Haha! I won this round! 😂😂😂 He doesn't like the way he looks with his face shaved, but I think he's handsome either way so I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts! ❤️

Dinorah and I went to the Succulent and Cacti group meeting in Atlanta today...

Dinorah and I went to the Succulent and Cacti group meeting in Atlanta today and it was AWESOME! There was a few people from Alabama there. We were a little late and missed the talk at the beginning, but there was a guy there from Auburn who'd brought some crazy beautiful and large Haworthia and Gasteria to show us. They also had a table of freebie plants and cuttings. This is a photo of our haul after we got them all potted up. I wish I'd known that was a thing because I would have brought some cacti to share. I definitely will next time!

They do meetings and picnics at different places and go on field trips to different nurseries. I am SO PUMPED! I definitely needed this day. 😁💚

I woke up from an ill-timed nap...

I woke up from an ill-timed nap at 8 pm yesterday and I haven't been back to sleep yet. I've been going all day. Took a friend a plant at 9 this morning, had a perfect breakfast with Shaun at Panera, hit a few thrift stores, then stopped home to check on the doggies. Went out a bit later by myself to look for terra cotta pots, but couldn't find any in the size I needed. Went to Lowe's and got a drill bit so I could put drainage holes in the nice pots Shaun bought me the other day, then spent the rest of the day drilling holes, potting plants, and cleaning my room. I JUST NOW sat down to chill. I bet I sleep well tonight! 😂

I enjoyed myself. I hope you all had a nice day, as well! ❤️

I haven't seen this face so naked since high school.

I haven't seen this face so naked since high school. I love his usual fur, but... I mean, I am NOT complaining! 😍😍😍 My person is pretty!
