flowers.

[mtbean]

years ago, before i was engaged, (then married) i told my boy at the time that i'd be happy to trade the diamond ring for spontaneous flowers for the rest of our lives. (figure the cost would be about the same)
i got the ring and have since missed the flowers.
i've been on a ridiculous number of dates in the last few years. i don't think i've ever gotten flowers.
because it sounds cheesy doesn't it? some part of you is thinking who brings flowers to a first date?
yeah, and i never really cared one way or the other, b/c most likely it was gonna be cheesy.
well. i finally got flowers. gorgeous simple flowers. just two branches, and a small vase. and it wasn't cheesy.
it was beautiful and sweet.
i might be biased because the date was preceded by a week of good brain-teasers that he sent (and i solved)
or because the date had really interesting and fun conversation
or because he was pretty damn cute
or because he suggested my favorite sushi restaurant
or because did i mention the really engaging conversation?

wow. brainteasers and flowers. good first impression. i like.

the rest of this weekend included a picnic in the sun in ggp with some of my favorite people.
(we'll ignore the fact that i went to work this morning)

yay =)
