sending flowers

Here's a useful guide for sending flowers to someone you care about:

• Carnations are tacky. Unless the person specifically says, "I love carnations! They're my favorite flower!" you will come across as cheap if you send them. SATC ruined it for carnations.
  
• Tulips are a fantastic flower to send.
• Daisies are cute, but you know, a little boring.
  
• Baby's breath went out with shoulder pads.
  
• Lilies are risky if the person is allergic to them, which a lot of people seem to be. I think they're pretty though...
  
• Roses are tacky. Especially red roses. Be very careful when giving them.

There are a lot of amazing flowers to send, obvi, but these were the highlights from a conversation at work we had about it. Apparently guys, the ones who send them the most, thought it didn't matter what kind of flowers are sent. Fail.

I've been in a blog fog - not a ton of inspiration, but here are some updates and tidbits until there's something really great to write about.

I ran my first post-collegiate race last weekend. Can't really say I "raced" but I did run hard and have a lot of fun doing it. If you're planning on doing Hood to Coast and somehow get in and then need another team member, let me know.


B's little brother wrote a fantastic Op-Ed Piece in the Charleston Gazette.

Brüno! Not as funny as Borat, but has a great message. Baron Cohen is the man. B and I went to see it at the Kabuki. Fun.

My mom joined Facebook. B's mom had joined a while back, so I added her as a friend. She didn't sound too happy when I wrote on B's wall saying, "I'm friends with your mom. no joke." Oh well, I think it's fun, but also funny how our worlds are meshing.

B and I are going to kill our TV! Celebration details to follow. . .
