early riser

crashed around 10 PM last night hoping to get a solid 8 hours of sleep and still wake up early enough to finish up my work. . . sigh, was not meant to be. . i woke up around 3:45 AM and tossed and turned for half an hour before deciding to just get up.

took a shower and did some work on the LA event, surfed the internet. in a way, it was nice to get such an early start. i was out the door by 7:30 AM and dropped off clothes at the dry cleaners. then went to whole foods to check out the selection of cut flowers. . i was shocked to see a group of people crowded at the entrance waiting for the store to open at 8 AM.

unfortunately, whole foods didn't have a great selection and the flowers were looking pretty sad. i headed off to work and decided to stop by the gourmet market that sells flowers on park & 34th. the selection and prices were much better and i bought a couple bunches of orchids. .unfortunately the cymbidiums were too old.

in any case, i spent 10 minutes this morning making a couple arrangements and put them in our waiting area at work. i'd forgotten how much i enjoy arranging flowers. . will definately have to start getting fresh flowers for the apt.
