Wither From Have Come the Roses?

Ok, so I have to admit, I have had a lot of fun with this one…

Its not too often I can pique the curiosity of so many such as I have with my recent receipt of 2 dozen long stem roses. I’ve experienced a small level of sick satisfaction with my evasive responses and outright refusal to answer that question: “Who sent you flowers.” I have been quite the punk, actually…haha. Its been fun...

Now, having received many demands, an abduction threat on Not My Dog, and other threats towards my well-being [vicious people...], I have decided that the time has come to reveal my closely guarded secret….

Are you ready, all you curious cats?? Grab your popcorn….

Well, all games aside, I am sorry to bring a not so exciting answer to the intriguing question. I am afraid that the bringer of my beautiful, fragrant blooms is none other than…… a supply company known as Dollar Days.com. Yes, sad I know, but true. :P You may now be asking, ‘Why would a company send you flowers??’. The answer is quite simple: They screwed up. Yep, a customer service rep sent me flowers for screwing up a HUGE business order I had placed [a very long story involving flashlights…sigh...].

However, it was enjoyable “pretending” they were from a real, live actual person [meaning NOT a company] who desired to make my day better by sending me flowers [like say, a BOY, haha]. Actually, upon further reflection, I think I have only received flowers from a guy one time about in my life, about…3 years or so ago. But, props to the guy considering they were from across the ocean—I was here, and the guy was a missionary in Spain. That was cool getting flowers [blush tulips…one of my favorites], from someone out of the country. Of course they were sent locally, but he had to do all the work and all….Anyway, it’s a pretty good story, regardless.

So, that is the scoop on the yellow and white roses sitting on my desk. I was sent 2 dozen roses from a sorry company, and shared a dozen of them with a co-worker, leaving me a dozen [a math lesson for you, heehee]. I know, its a let down. Not half as exciting as it was getting everyone in a dither over the whole thing. But hey, I need to create a little excitement every once in a while…. :P

Have a GREAT day!! :)

It's so fun to just pretend sometimes, though, isn't it? With something like that, you can imagine they're from whoever you want them to be from. A secret admirer perhaps - gorgeous of course. At least they weren't from some sicko stalker.

Yes, superchikk, roses ARE roses!! :) They envoke a smile no matter what [unless, of course they WERE from a sicko stalker, in which case they would be garbage disposal food...]
