Today is my birthday...

[green 6]

When I was living in France I knew a guy who was straight and who made a point of buying himself cut flowers every Saturday. He would do this while he was shopping at the open air produce market.

I thought this was an excellent thing to do and I have carried on the tradition until fairly recently. It is surprising what a difference a few fresh flowers make to the ambiance of your home, especially during the winter months! The only reason that I have let this practice slide recently is that there is no longer anyone who sells flowers in my neighbourhood. *sigh*

My DH saw some lilies in the store (yep the grocery store!!)the other day, so picked up a bouquet for me....he had 3 people on the way out of the store ask him what he had done wrong!

And we wonder why men don't do romantic, spontaneous things--they look circumspect when they do!!!

I never questioned it, why should others??? Joking or not, men often do not respond well to ridicule like humor...maybe things like this led to the lack of romantic bones....a horrid evolution!
