I Wish I Had A River....


What the well dressed florist is wearing this season:

Sap on her fingernails, glitter on her face, a layers of tshirts, a sweater, a scarf around the neck and often a vest because the heat works when it wants too, and it doesn't seem to want to until about 3 in the afternoon. She must be also sporting a shorter then usual haircut because when all the regulars and friends show up they scream " Oh, your hair is so short, I love it".  Trust me, the well dressed florists' hair is a tangle. Or as tangled as a short bob can be.

The well dressed florist also wears 12 year old Uggs or wellies to keep her feet warm, a necklace, some gold bangles and eyeliner. None of the jewelry can be seen because of all the clothes on top, but she tries folks, she tries. The eyeliner is usually smudged by lunchtime,adding a slightly raccoon effect. Then, when she gets a tiny bit of cedar in the eye, she ends up with a lovely reddish hue where once there was white, not to mention the visual hallucinations that continues till she finally gets the fecking cedar/pine/glue/glitter out of her eye.


The WDF is listening to " Donde Esta Santa Claus", eating dried fruit, apples with peanut butter and drinking loads of lattes. She is also waiting for those customers who come bearing gifts, preferably those with butter and sugar.

The WDF has participated in the decorations of every know customers house/ office/ retirement home  all finished by today, December 6th, because it's a short holiday month and there was only one week to do it all. Tomorrow starts the parties.

The WDF is tired and going to bed now. There's still a good 9 or more hours to work this week and she wants to participate in none every one of them.

Rumor has it there will be sleet and freezing rain on Sunday. The WDF rejoices and plans to spend the day inside, cooking something delicious, doing a little of her own decorating and watching football while wearing flannel pajama bottoms, fleece lined slippers and her favorite sweater with the hole in the sleeve.

Be here now.
