Beautiful valentine flowers are extra-special
Posted on February 14, 2008 in Holidays by DM
Did I mention I never get flowers? In his previous marriage, my husband and his then-wife owned a flower shop. That pretty much ruined flower-buying in his subsequent relationships, because once he learned the mark-up on them he refused to buy them. (And yes, I married him in spite of this anthrophobia.) So, on those very rare occasions when he does decide to buy them, it means there is a very good reason: the need for a very big apology… or, maybe “just because.”
This week at work I was called to the front desk and handed a large ProFlowers box. Inside I found a beautiful bunch of 18 red, pink and white roses with a fun valentine vase, sweet little teddy bear, and mini-box of chocolates. They really are beautiful - and the note from hubby said, “You have had a rough couple of months and you deserve something special.” It was really a very special surprise - all the more special precisely because I don’t get them very often.
Thank you again, honey - they are beautiful and I love them. But not as much as I love you!
These flowers are extra-special for another reason: they cost an arm and a leg! Poor hubby had a special e-code to get them for half-price, but when he hit the ‘back button’ on his browser to correct something in the online form, the form didn’t retain the special code. He hit SEND without knowing the code was missing, and ended up paying full price. I think it just about killed him.
