Home Depot and fresh flowers are always good. You might be able to skip the vase, unless you're buying them something in particular.

I think I will just pick up a basic vase from Target, because I won't have time to get the flowers on the way out, and I don't want them to wilt. Or maybe I'll get them.a plant, herbs maybe?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like the plant idea. Everybody could probably use a pot of parsley.

Go for the plant, sj. I have had to put basic glass vases in recycling because I just don't have the space for them (I have 3 vases in my office right now from flowers people gave to me when I came back to work!)

K, plant it is. Thanks for the advice, everyone! Now, I just need to find the motivation to get my ass out of the house.

ION: the low was 72 last night.
Normally, that's the *high*.
Suddenly not missing the weather in Seattle.
Though it wasn't THAT much cooler here last night, the daytime highs have been nowhere near as bad.
I could do without the drinkable air, however.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Here in Chicago we've had the coolest July in more than 50 years. Weird.

Oh Nora... more crapdoodle. So not fair. You can come to my house.
