Managed to run a mile again today. was going to try and go for a time but I didn't pay attention when I started running and didn't know how long I had been running. So I stopped at a mile. I feel pretty good though.

The flowers came last night at 5:45 ish. Some poor guy shows up with his kids in tow and rings the doorbell. I answer and he asks if I am my wife. I respond no I'm here husband and tried to do the whole "THANK GOD THESE CAME!!! " speil but before I can open my mouth he says Here! and shoves the vase at me, grabs his kid an stalks off to his car. I think it important to point out that these flowers do not appear to have been sitting around for a day waiting to be delivered

Still no word from ftd

Many people have suggested that I ignore ftd.com and go with local florists. I don't like that idea. The reason I started using ftd.com all those years ago is because I don't have to put up with the locals...or their prices.

5 years ago i went to a local florist 2 weeks prior to V day. Mind you this is our first wedding anniversary as well. I request that 1 dozen roses and some other stuff get delivered on valentines day. To which the fine florist ( the owner of the shop no less) looks at me and says : "NO we cant do Valentines day you must place those orders at least 1.5 months in advance" I responded with a you're joking right? That didn't go over too well. In fact in her response she let me know that none of the local florists were still taking orders and that I should plan better next time yadda yadda yadda. Angered I went on line and order my dozen roses( for $10 less even!) and candy and stuff for delivery on the 14th. Amazingly ftd.com has no issue with this. And on Valentines Day the same florist, the owner of which yelled at me!, delivered the roses to my wife. I was torn between being mad that my money went to that florist and being happy that they had to deliver to me after all.

by using ftd.com or calling 1-800-ftd you are in fact using a local florist and in many cases getting a better price to boot. And I don't have to deal with rude flower nazis
