I had a meeting on Tuesday. It was an important meeting for me because it was my first where I had implemented most of the content. After my meeting I went to lunch and bought my running shoes and when I returned these were sitting on my desk.
sorry pic is from my phone so it's blurry
I was a little embarrassed, I’m not a huge fan of getting flowers at work, I hate all the questions that go along with them. “What did he do?” was kind of the most popular LOL. The last time C sent me flowers was when we broke up for awhile back in 2004.
just a close-up, they are pretty
In the 5 years we’ve been together C has neglected to hear me when I say I hate roses. (ok hate is a strong word but I dislike them, especially red) WAIT!!!! Just read on before you start swearing at me and calling me ungrateful. C and I haven’t been on the same page lately, and part of that (not all), is because he doesn’t really hear me when I talk to him.
What I found out later was that he waited until he knew I was in a meeting and knew that someone else would be answering my phone. He called and talked to the other Admin to confirm the address. So this shows that yes, even if he doesn’t listen to me, he had thought this out. And that is what makes these flowers special.
I have to say that I cringe to think how much he paid for them. But it really was the thought that counted.

aww thats cute though
i do this all the time. over-analyze the flower giving. i need to get better at just enjoying them. =)
very much a good thought
aww it’s definitely a cute gesture, even if he did send you flowers you don’t like
It’s the thought that counts as you say.
Hi – found you through the 20sb feed.
I think you’re right, it is the thought that counts. Men very rarely listen to *anything* women say – it’s part of their makeup. I’d be thrilled just to get flowers
Happy weekend.
Yeah, you’re right. it is the thought that counts and it’s sweet… but i guess i’m mean but when my husband did that to me, all i could do was go take a shower (he did it after a field exercise) and basically i had to tell him that roses don’t make upfor two years of him not listening to what i needed out of this relationship.
but htat’s just me
that was sweet though; i love receiving flowers, any kind at any time
they’re beautiful, and very thoughtful too!
my husband never give me flowers. i’m just fortunate that i have a mother-in-law who remembers to buy them for me.
