• Valentine's Day 2011!
  

   I took Monday off my regular job and worked a hectic 44 hours Sat, Sun and Monday at the flowershop.  It was definitely the worst holiday we've had.  Just everything went wrong.  Driver's weren't showing up/ doing their job, computers went down, etc etc etc.  I was fairly wrecked last week, but I think I've pretty much recovered now. 
  

  Breakfast on Saturday, a breakfast that loves you back.

  

  I forgot about my camera until around 7 when the shipment of flowers arrived and it was time for processing. 

  
  We hired extra help for the holiday, usually it is just 2-3 people doing this job.

  
  cut the flowers, put them in water.  Easy, right?

  The whole crew finishes a ga-gillion boxes of flowers in 40 minutes.  NICE!

  Hooray for Matsumoto Asters, we almost never get these!

  Keli made a batch of chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting for my birthday!  YUM!

  Then... I sort of forgot and was too busy and then too crabby to take more photos on actually valentine's day, but... this gives you a glimpse into the floral world.

  Glad that is over!
