I ran home today at lunch to pick some things up for school tonight. As I crest the last step on the third floor I see a rectangular box on my door mat. I order a lot of things from Amazon and Ebay so this is not an unusual sight. I approached the door wondering what it could be because I was not expecting anything. I got a little smile on my face when I see "Proflowers" stamped all over the box. A bemused smile because seriously I have not received flowers in years and I cannot begin to think who would be sending me flowers, but yes, there is my name on the box: Sassy Assy so they must be for me. I can't open the box fast enough.

When I tell you that tears sprang to my eyes when I caught sight of the bouquet and read the card, it is no blogland exaggeration. My friend sent them as an early birthday gift. They are just perfect and I love them. I could not wait to tell him thank you and frankly "Thank You" does not even begin to cover how receiving these flowers made me feel. I am still smiling all these hours later just gazing at these exotic blooms...I thought I would share them with you. Bask in their beauty with me. Isn't my friend thoughtful and ever so very sweet?
