just a few moments ago, i received a message from our mail guy telling me to come pick up my flowers. i told him to stop playing cruel jokes (as he likes to do this), but he finally convinced me that he wasn't.
i still expected a joke of some sort, so when i arrived to pick up said 'flowers' i was genuinely shocked to actually see a box of, well, flowers.
i hurried to my office to open them, and discovered the most beautiful bunch of tulips. with them came a note, which was left unsigned.
now, dear sender, i know you are reading this, because having read a semi-recent blog post is the only way you would know that tulips are my favorite flower. and as a sidenote, i applaud your ability to google search (i'm guessing here) in order to locate my office address.
please, please, please reveal yourself to me!
if you choose keep your identity a secret, which i hope is not the case, this will go down in the 'annals of tara' as one of the greatest anonymous gestures ever received. but that also means that you leave me with no good way to express my gratitude.
if you leave me no choice however, let me say simply...thank you. thank you for not only 'listening', but also for acting. what an incredibly wonderful surprise--you have no idea the size of the smile you put on my face.
i will post a pic when i get home and get them in the vase!
here are pics and two additional notes...
1. the flowers were scheduled to arrive on valentine's day per the shipping label. they obviously arrived late, that doesn't mean that they are any less appreciated! (not to mention that i was snowed in on v-day anyway)
2. yes, i actually called the florist to see if i could wrangle a name out of them. i couldn't. i hope that comes off as amusing and endearing rather than like a girl looking a gift horse in the mouth
