flowers at work.

as i stated in the first one, i recently turned 31. not so bad... yet. thanks to the social networking sites, i probably had more people than ever tell me happy birthday. my husband gave me a lovely picture frame/desk organizer... a great combination of 2 things that i love. but the sweetest thing that day was when daddy walked into my office with a beautiful and quite tasty red velvet cake. there are not many daddy's that do such things for their little girls. then there were the flowers from both my parents that arrived just a short time later. i know that momma scheduled those deliveries and i feel that she sets a wonderful example for all mothers out there.

we are all, of course, special. sometimes though it takes another person's thoughtfulness for us to remember that fact. a birthday, valentine's, an anniversary, or just on the fly... all of these are perfect excuses to take a loved one by surprise. and it doesn't have to be flowers, some ladies claim to not even like getting them (but i feel that they secretly do). sure it may be a waste of money but how much do we already waste on ugly, uninspiring, and sometimes self-harming things. it is not even necessary to spend money to give someone that "special" feeling... but please do not confuse homemade with love and do-it-yourself crap. you all know what i am talking about.
