Day 2: Stop and Smell the Roses... Literally

When I'm in the grocery store, my favorite thing to do is walk through the floral department, because the smell of fresh flowers always manages to put a smile on my face. 

I love flowers... so much so that I have fake ones all throughout my condo. Fake flowers on my coffee and kitchen tables, and then in the basement, my bedroom, and both bathrooms. But, I can't remember the last time I had real flowers in my home. I think the last time it happened was in the fall, when a guy gave me an assorted bouquet on our first (and only) date. Since then, I've resorted to rummaging through the aisles of Home Goods and Pier 1 for all my floral arrangements.

So, when I went to Whole Foods tonight to pick up dinner, I decided to stop and buy myself flowers for the first time ever. Sure, the thought had crossed my mind once or twice before, but I could never justify spending $15 or $20 on flowers for myself "just because." Instead, I would spend that money on vegetables that went bad and chicken that I always overcooked. But, today was a little different. Today, I decided to spoil myself just a little bit because I deserved it... then again, all girls deserve flowers every once in a while "just because," no matter who buys them for her.
