Very tired around midnight last night, but of COURSE couldn't go to sleep because had to help my mom buy flowers for aunt in Hawaii, in addition to yesterday's saga of finding a good quote for my brother's yearbook's sponsorship page, and I'm actually also supposed to find my cousin a gift of around US$100 because she won the Sacramento-wide speech contest. I am the default appointee for all annoying things my mom won't do, can't do, or doesn't feel like doing.
So, was up for another hour trying to find the (grrrr) flowers that are located in Hawaii, so the shipping won't be crazy expensive and they'll probably get there in better shape if they just travel a few miles by truck. Wasn't very successful in finding those florists. Most had quite bad websites. Most had very unattractive selection. OH AND my mom requested that they be plants or foam arrangements, not in water in vases. What... so finally found a good looking website with a wide selection. Chose for a long time. Can't look too small or cheap, but since I am personally against buying expensive flowers, I didn't want anything too expensive. OK finally settle on an orchid plant that's of course exorbitantly priced, in my opinion, but ok fine whatever I NEED TO SLEEP. Check out, pay out of my own pocket, then confirmation page tells me it will be delivered on April 30, 2006. WHAT. At this point I cried for half a second. Normally would snap into damage-control mode, but there was literally not a thing I could do, so I had to wait 'til the next day noon before I can call Hawaii. Well, I still managed to call them (they were closed) and write them an email. But I really think the 4/30 date was just some kind of error. I better find out soon or I'll go crazy.
