erson A: “Wow. I love that flower in your hair. It goes so nicely with the color of your shirt.”
Person B: “Thank you very much.”
Person A: “Where did you get it? I didn’t see any of that kind outside.”
Person B: *smiles* “Oh, I just picked it out of the garbage.”
Person A: “Oh…”
Yep. This is a real life conversation I had at work. Person A is one of my supervisor’s wives and person B was me. :) It was just so funny… the look on her face and all but made me bust a gut laughing! The flowers were from the little flower arrangements that they put in the middle of the banquet tables and then they just throw them away.
Seriously.
They have to have spent a good grand on flowers every now and again that just get thrown away later. The flower I picked out of the trash (from the top) was beautiful, a little wilted but it made it through the day tucked nicely into my hair and was no worse for wear by the end. Silly people, they make me sick with how much we waste but at least it gave me some inspiration to pick up for another scene in one of my stories. Yay for that.
I love this one site I recently found. I can’t tell you how I found it, that has long since escaped my memory but ‘what’ I found is definitely stuck with me. It’s this awesome thing called MindBump. You can click to read all about it cause I’m not feeling like explaining right now- maybe later.
