:/

remember the 1 on 1 b ball games Brandon and I so love to play? The one where I get the 5 point handicap and loser has to run laps around the block? The bobbin-n-weavin, heavy breathing, sweat action we had goin on? Well I don't love it no mo. I sprained my damn ankle during our last game. I'm feeling like a chump. Laying in bed, sad and worthless. I'd post up photos but I'm terribly embarrassed. I've never sprained anything in my life. Endured a 16 mile uphill hike in Yosemite over the weekend and as excruciating as that kind of pain was, it doesn't even compare to this stupid sprained ankle. The pain is starting to irritate more and more. I can't really afford to be laying down so much. But it's what needs to be done for full recovery. 

Wedding season is in full bloom. My Free Friday elopement series is off to a worthwhile start. I met the most appreciative groom last week. His bride initially did not want flowers as I presented them both with a bout and boq to match. Even the ugliest lookin flowers still portray a great sense of life and beauty and no one, not even the most spoiled bum lurking outside the streets of City Hall could turn them down. It was interesting enough as I scoped the entire vicinity of the couples getting married at city hall and they ironically were the only two without flowers. I guess everyone came prepared last friday. 

After giving them away, I felt a sense of relief and exhilaration all at once. I was proud to know that I accomplished the task at hand, that the flowers served some kind of purpose- becoming a part of the most significant day of a couple's life. To know my creativity was alive and appreciated by random strangers- I don't think I'll ever get tired of these feelings.
