Why is our flight departing half an hour late? Because everyone checked a million suitcases and all the babies have strollers. The entire conveyor belt is strollers.

time to play match the arrangement again!
and my slightly brighter version:
then there was the guy who's girlfriend didn't like flowers. he saw this on our website:
and i told him i only had a different variety of purple orchids, but i'd make something with a similar anti-"flower" feel.
i was getting bored with our standard flowers, so i asked the wholesaler to send me some interesting things, and i got eremerus as tall as i am:
and finally, here are the arrangements for the party on the 99th floor. i made 17 of them, and our contact said they looked just like the picture charles sent her!
oh, and there is one more flower photo, but not from the flowershop- there are all these beautiful wildflowers (weeds?) growing on my walk to work. they are so nice, and it's a glimpse of what the midwest is like without chicago and farmland and suburbs. without all that PA is forest and that's how i grew up and what i like. but if this is what prairie is like, well the that is quite nice too.

starting raw foods week!
Via Flickr:

another picture i took when trying to facetime with dad. i was putting groceries away and hoping i could facetime at the same time. my hair is so ridiculous that i had to photo it.
beach day!
Via Flickr:
finally, the end of june and a day warm enough to go to the beach! i won't have a single weekend to go to the beach for the next 6 weeks, so we have to live it up now. i think this is one of my first multi-person shots with the iphone4's front facing camera. i have to say, it really takes the fun out of holding it up, pushing the button, and hoping for the best.
teleflora matchup!
or how about this: looking like this:
this one:
i made both the standard and deluxe of:

love you pop pop
Via Flickr:
my dad sent me a photo of my pop pop in the hospital. i sent him this one back. i think that was my last contact with him that he was aware of. my dad did call me and hold the phone up to his ear right before he died. that was really nice.
strawberries!
Via Flickr:
in my very own garden! i'm so proud! i killed last years plants, hopefully i can winter these this year.

best snack ever.
Via Flickr:
the yo crunch yogurt is on sale at rogers park fruit market, so i buy the vanilla ones and eat the m&ms or reeses pieces separately. and of course smoothies keep my house full of delicious fruit.
