2012 Dailies
040 Feb 9/12 Freesia.
Thank you for all the comments on my mums yesterday. Checked them this morning and they're still doing well so maybe tonight I can get one more shot from them. I have to tell you the story of the bundle of Freesia. I was walking through Safeway, while at the mall to check out their flowers and found a pail of bundles in the corner with a sale sign of $ 9.99 hanging on them. I picked out a bundle and went through the cash line (one with a real cashier) and found the price was $2.00 higher than the sign. I wasn't in a hurry, so I went to customer service to get my $2.00 back and after they confirmed the cash register price was wrong, they refunded me back the whole $11.99 plus tax for the error. What a lovely surprise it was.
Sorry I haven't been able to do much commenting the past few days. I've been training someone new to take over my old job, so she has my desk and computer now during the day. I spent yesterday at my new job and my computer and desk won't be set up until Monday when I start there full time. So consequently I only see a computer in the morning before work and an hour after supper. This weekend everything should be back to normal and I'll get back to checking out every one's work.

on February 10, 2012Lovely shot! Nice light, comp and color. And what a treat to get them at the *added discount*! Freesia smells so nice, too. I can relate to only being able to get on a computer for an hour or two after work - I can never get on the computer during work hours, so an hour or two after dinner is about it for me, too!
