Highlights from the week of May 11th

i learned how to make an astro blast balloon bouquet. it takes like 30-45 minutes to make.

i was delivering to madison jr. high, and i had never been there before so i didn't know where to park. i was going the wrong way in the parking lot. i find a place that i could get a ticket in if i wasn't fast. i go up the steps that looks like the way to the main office. and...the doors were locked. this was at like 10:30 in the morning. so school was in session. i was so confused. i grabbed them and started shaking them back and forth like a crazy person. if someone would've seen me, they probably would've thought i was a child killer or molester or something trying to break into the school. yikes. then a car pulled up and they were dropping off their kid after a dentist's appt. or something. so i just follow him because i knew he would have to check in at the front office which is where i needed to go. i follow him and find my way in. but it was just funny.

i was vacuuming the front of the shop and i hit a piller thing that had a ceramic pot on it and it fell over and broke and so did the pillar and the vacuum which was still running. gaye comes over and looks and just laughs and walks away. she thought the pot was ugly anyway. haha kinda embarassing.

when i can't hear the customers or understand what they are saying i say, "huh?" and gaye makes fun of me.

everyone at the shop has tv and they are addicted to it and talk about american idol, oprah and other shows. so i go online and look at highlights or articles about what happened in that episode so i can understand their conversations. i looked up who was kicked off american idol and now we are down to the top 2. i think they are both amazing. i want kris to win, but i think adam will. anyway...

gaye asked marianne where we get the paper mache containers and i could tell them it was western pulp. thank you advanced design journal!! :)

i made two happy birthday arrangments that look like cakes or presents. that was really fun. i really like trying to imitate the teleflora pictures. we should've practiced that more in flower center. actually making the arrangements not, just looking at them. also, practicing bows more would've helped since i have to make a bow for almost every arrangment. jared and michelle had their baby and i got to make a baby boy arrangment for them. it was so cute! it was all white with some blue in a light blue container. :D
that's all for now.
