I truly enjoy my home. It's nothing fancy by any means, it's just a little cottage, one of those 1957 starter homes all the newly branded white collars were buying back then, but I love it. It was the first home I ever knew. When I was 13 my father (going thru a mid-life, no doubt) bought a bigger, better home. He didn't sell this one, but rented it out. It was a rental for 20 years until I took possession of it five years ago. It was a mess, but the structure was sound. I've s-l-o-w-l-y been working on things and have managed to make it somewhat cozy. I love cozy. I work hard on making my home feel loved and safe and lived-in.

Today, while shopping, I spotted the freshest, sunniest bouquet of roses, carnations, bells of Ireland, daisies, eucalyptus and snapdragons. I bought it and stuck it on my coffee table. Nothing has ever brightened my room like these flowers. If you haven't done this, I would encourage everyone to buy themselves a pretty bouquet TODAY and see how it changes your space!

Men: if you buy your wife flowers today, I'll just betcha you get some real sweet love in return. Women love flowers, esp. for NO reason.

OK--some of you schmucks are gonna say, If I buy her flowers, she'll think I've been cheating. IF that is the case, I'm sorry.

PS-I do NOT work for the Flower Board.
