A rose is a beautiful waste of time.

Back in the day before kiddos, I used to love arranging flowers. In fact if you had a birthday or special event, you were going to get flowers arranged by me. Since the arrival of the cute little time suckers however, I haven't had the time, energy or money to do such useless things.

Luckily spring has arrived along with my garden flowers. After hacking away 5 lawn and leaf sized bags of weeds, I felt I deserved a reward. I ignored the kids for a good 30 minutes as I arranged my pickings. When I was finished I set my prize on the dining room table for...no one to look at. I need to gather more friends man! Or at least those that don't work long hours or have families. ...and since we're in our 30s, well, that negates about everyone in my area. darn.

My husband did walk past them several times and after I gave up and said, "hey? do you like my flowers." I got a good solid, "oh ya, nice." At least my daughter said pwetee.
