And in honor of her birthday, I gave her some red and purple jewelry and a bouquet. A bouquet I constructed in order to save money that ended up looking like a 2nd grader put it together rather than buy a ready-made bouquet that looks beautiful. Gad, I'm so cheap. And untalented. Observe.

Notice the lack of symmetry and how the roses are NOT the focus of the bouquet. Yeah. Royally screwed-up there.

You can really see how
Guy: Hey! I'd like to order an arrangement for my grandmother!
Me: Sure! Do you want matching or mis-matched flowers?
Guy: Mis-matched and I want the flowers cut too short for the vase. Basically, just cut the tops off and throw them in the water.
Me: So, basically, you want it to look like a toddler just lopped the tops off the flowers in the back yard and stuck 'em in a bowl of water?
Guy: Yep! That'll do it!
Or even...
Woman: Hi! I'd like to order an arrangment?
Me: No problem! What is your preference?
Woman: I want the flowers to match, but I want them all cut at different lengths, just sort of shoved into the vase, with no rhyme or reason to it.
Me: Sounds good, hon! That's our specialty!
Happy Birthday, Mom! Nothing is more divine than to be 69!

Hey, it's the thought that counts isn't it? Happy birthday to your Mom!
Happy Birthday Heather's Mom!
I used to work in a flower shop. As the delivery girl. Let me know when your shop opens - I'm a wicked good flower truck driver.
Hey - flowers are pretty no matter how they're put together. Or, that's what I say.
Happy birthday, daughter of a coal miner (maybe) AKA, Heather's mom!
Very sweet. Happy birthday to yo' mama.
A Free Man - True, it is the thought. :)
Tuli - Oh, I'll so be calling you! :)
Sybil Law - My mom was very nice about the bouquet. So, that made me feel like a 5th grader rather than a 2nd grader. HA!
Gypsy - Sticky sweet.
Happy birthday to your mom!
Can I have mine wrapped in aluminum foil as if they were fresh picked from the field?
Happy birthday to your Mom!
That's why I always order the flowers for mom, instead of buying them. That and I'm lazy. And we don't actually have a place here to buy flowers, except at the florist.
Avitable - Thanks, hon!
Patois - Yes'm, you can!
Penny - Yeah. From now on I'll be ordering them. I suck at arranging.
