You didn't think it would actually happen, but Marcus actually updated his blog! Don't believe me? Go see for yourself!

Marcus just left to go into work. This is the one aspect of his job that I hate: He's the only IT guy for our company. Unfortunately the network decided to take a dump tonight and he couldn't fix it from home like the other 99% of the times there is a problem, so he has to drive in or else the overnight prepress staff can't do any work. What really sucks is that I don't sleep well when he's not in the house, so I'll be up late tonight. It's times like these that I wished we lived only 5 minutes or so from work instead of a half hour. I hope he can resolve the problem quickly and hurry home.

With Mother's Day right around the corner, this time of year always makes me think about my mom. It's been 11 years since she passed away. I remember my mother always loved getting carnations for Mother's Day. She thought that they were less pretentious than roses and they lasted longer. They also have a lighter smell and there are no thorns. It turns out that they were the appropriate flower for her as carnations are the flower of her birthday month (she was born in January). I guess since she loved them so much that's why carnations are one of my favorite flowers, as well. I really love mixed flower bouquets, though; especially arrangements with lilies and irises in them. I love variety and color.

I keep seeing ads for ProFlowers and wish that she was still around so that I could send her some. Since the flowers are delivered fresh from the fields, they would last even longer than those I used to bring home from the grocery store for her. Did you know that you can support breast cancer research when you order certain floral arrangements from ProFlowers? They have a line called The Pink Ribbon Collection, 10% of the sale price going to The Komen Foundation.

Speaking of flowers, the lilac bushes outside should be blooming soon. I love how the smell of fresh lilacs just fills the house.

I'm cleaning off stuff off my desktop since it's getting a little cluttered and I found this cute little screenshot of an IM I was having with Marcus a while back. I just had to share:


Why am I getting visions of the movie Ghost in my head? lol
