Well its been a long time since I entered. Lots to update you on but one thing at a time.
I had done a garden, flower, plant show at our local convention center. So I had worked all weekend either in the store or at the booth. Long weekend and was looking for a nice calm Monday.
Monday first thing. Well ok it was 9:20. This lady came in and spoke with my mother. She asked mom if Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15188781486476508452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364619.post-1080147886933464822004-03-24T08:56:00.000-08:002004-03-24T09:12:06.296-08:00The sun is shining in Omaha today. A beautiful day is emerging. I went to Dallas last sat/ sunday for a design workshop. It was great and I learned a lot from the workshop. I flew in and out of Kansas City since I had a meeting there Monday afternoon. It was a short meeting for the unit region board. We are planning educational workshops for other florists.

I had a party at home to celebrate that my Christmas Decorations were down. Yes, I know its late for most people. I had one tree up last year til early July. So I am way ahead of last year.
I awoke this morning and looked out the window to a blanket cover of new fallen snow. EEEEKKKKKKK. Four pm and its still snowing.
I'm heading to Dallas on Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15188781486476508452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364619.post-1078983400740393472004-03-10T21:24:00.000-08:002004-03-10T21:41:04.060-08:00Honesty...
Such a simple word. Why is it that just one word can have so much influence on every aspect of being?
I have been astray from my blog for time. Is it because I am too busy? No! Is it that I have had nothing to write about? No! Has my pc completely crashed and lost all internet access? No!
Its because I have people in my life that aren't being honest with me. Maybe I am not willing Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15188781486476508452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364619.post-1078512419466497482004-03-05T10:44:00.000-08:002004-03-05T10:50:00.826-08:00Not much time for writing now. I will be traveling out of town to Minneapolis this weekend.
Just to let you know. When you have a gut feeling about someone. Go with it. I had heard from someone that they appeared in the paper. I couldnt access the article until i paid $2.95.
It will be the best @2.95 that I have ever spent.
That should keep you guessing.

First off, let me apologize for not entering. Life for this florist has been up and down personally for me. I really am not sure where it begins and at this point where it ends. I will sum it up in a few words.
Honesty, Integrity, Happiness, Laughter, Emotion, Kindness, Heartfelt, Conflict, Joy, Sorrow, and of course Love.
All of these are feelings that I have been experiencing andPaulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15188781486476508452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364619.post-1076967697099910772004-02-16T13:15:00.000-08:002004-02-16T13:44:13.966-08:00It's over. Yes, I survived the big Valentine's Day. Sorry about no updates over the past few days. I worked tremendously long hours and got some well needed rest this weekend. Friday nite I wasn't in the best of moods and didnt want to come across excessively nasty. So I waited til today.
I had to order more roses on Thursday for delivery by FedEx Friday morning.

Yeah. Its a good day when the flowers that are the most crucial actually arrive a day late. My were they thirsty for water. Finished all of the mixed arrangements and started on dozens of roses. Left the store at 5 pm. That's actually pretty amazing for me on a holiday to be this prepared and confident. Now its time to sell the flowers.

I began my day by receiving a phone message from a client. They had wanted 20small vases. 10 all red and 10 all pink for Monday and same for Wednesday. No more than $8.00 each. Well there isn't much you can do in a vase for that amount. Spray carnations and standard carnations were used in the vases. They were cute and small as ordered.

Valentine's Day stress began this morning. I contacted my normal holiday contract drivers and neither of them could deliver on Friday. Its great to have the arrangements made looking all pretty in my cooler. If I can't get them across town on the day to be delivered, I am in serious trouble.

Just been a bit preoccupied. Its only 6 days to one of the most crazy days in a floral shop. Valentine's Day is Saturday February 14th in case you didn't know. The mixed flower arrangements are primarily ready to go. The roses come tomorrow. At this point I am predicting a decrease from previous year. Simply because of the day of the week it falls upon makes a huge Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15188781486476508452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364619.post-1075776163735397572004-02-02T18:42:00.000-08:002004-02-02T18:45:01.560-08:00Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15188781486476508452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364619.post-1075742847643940202004-02-02T09:08:00.000-08:002004-02-02T09:32:18.983-08:00Snow Snow Snow!!!!!!!

Let me back up a bit. Friday afternoon. Joe called me. He said he was working on taxes and would see me Tuesday. I would have liked to have seen him Friday and Tuesday but cant get greedy.

I haven't updated for a few days and a few people are saying where you been? Is my life that exciting or Is yours really boring right now? Just the same here are today's thoughts.
Well, I haven't had any outrageous fun. Yep, its true. And last night my friend Tom who I was all in a huff about and I finally talked a bit. Still haven't told him all the reasons I am ticked off at him.Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15188781486476508452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364619.post-1075145926019172872004-01-26T11:09:00.000-08:002004-01-26T11:40:53.856-08:00Well sorry I missed the last few days. Yes, I feel a bit guilty for not keeping you up on all the day to day bizarre things in my life. So deal with it! Friday nite I went to the Flower Festival at the big old cathedral here. Damn I looked great. Double breasted hunter green suit with a new dark sage green shirt (got for Christmas... Feels kind of like suede).

I woke up. Then did the usual morning stuff. Thought about shaving and showering and thought again. I was already late and figured I didn't really have to impress anyone today. Yep I bypassed it all. I did brush my teeth though. I went to work and there was a message from an 85 yr old women. She was all in tizzy about why my shop left a note in her mailbox.

Yes, this is the first entry. I got started on this idea by a friend named Mark. And I also know that he will be checking this and assisting me in refining this. Thanks Mark.
