why my contractors were smiling back at me. I looked in the mirror and have never seen anything like it!!! Every tooth had a piece of kale.... Hard to describe; but it was funny.....

 
Makes me think of the day....

... I went to the grocery store with a streak of flour all the way down my forehead.

of course, husband saw me leaving, kissed me goodbye but apparently "failed to notice" the state of my face.

then he expects me to believe it when he gives me a compliment (sigh)

 
And made me think of the day, I took fresh Asian Lillies to my office and made a huge bouquet for my

desk. I bent down to smell the lovely aroma a few times, then had a meeting to go too at the main station where I worked for the police dept.
I went into the conference room, sat down with my co workers, my Lieutenant, Sergeant and two community service officers. We all discussed our week and what are plans were and what we hoped to accomplish. I noticed I was being looked at strangely, and reflected back on what I had said...did I say something wrong, they did not understand, or what? Got back to my office and used the restroom. As I washed my hands I looked up and there was yellow stamen pollen all over my nose. I was so mad, I called my boss and said, "why did anyone not tell me that I had that all over my face?" He laughed and thought is quite funny! grrrrrr......... typical police humor!

 
At least it wasn't trying to have sex with you...

"Our guests arrived with more wine and a huge bouquet of cut lilies and orchids. My husband took them to the living room for drinks and appetizers while I went to the kitchen for a vase. Bending over to arrange them, I glanced down and noticed the most beautiful color of saffron smeared across my navy silk top. The nerve! Those tricky devils were pollinating with my breasts! And on the first date! I tried to brush it off, but centuries of genetic survival techniques had evolved the pollen into a sticky mess that could not be rubbed off."

LOL, that is why when you buy them at a florist, the stamens are already pulled out

and unfortunately they do not last as long because of this. I always call first and ask to get some fresh ones with the stamens intact. I used to raise them but apparently the mole or golfers love the bulbs. So maddening when I lost all my groupings of them.

 
Oh, the sadness, my mom's wedding dress in rose silk, streaks all down the front

from her beautiful bouquet because the florist forgot to remove the stamen and we were all too distracted by other things to notice it. They were permanent, it was so awful.

 
now "golfers" made me chuckle. I'm sure it was supposed to be gophers, but I kept picturing angry

golfers whacking the heck out of your poor lilies! darn autocorrect. I finally turned it off on my iphone.

 
I left mine on

and get a constant chuckle over how badly the messages can be distorted! I'm using it as a failsafe, to slow me down and think before I hit send. It is working for "important" texts but stuff still gets by me to family and friends - when I don't slow down and think before I hit send smileys/wink.gif Colleen
