I had it all planned... I reached the office and left her a message on the phone, you know the I Love You's and also a little Birthday song. Then next I sent her an E-Card cause I know she will be checking her email. So far everything going as plan. Work starts and I had more planned. I ordered some flowers from blooming.com.my and asked for an early morning delivery. This is where the problems starts.
You see Wednesday is the longest day of my life. Besides working on air I have to shoot till about 4.00pm, so I though the flowers will be there when she is sitting at home reading the papers as usual cause I know she's got lunch plans. So as soon as I finish my show I call these "blooming Idiots" to confirm my order. They assure me everything is running as plan. I walk into my shoot with a smile on my face knowing my wife will be surprised and happy.
When I break for lunch I give my wife a call.... after a few minutes of talking, I'm thinking "hey no mention of the flowers... I don't think it's there yet". So as soon as I hang up on my wife I call these "blooming Idiots" and guess what... "Sorry sir, the flowers are not there yet. Don't worry it'll be there before 1.30pm" and I'm thinking "they better" .
Lunch, then more shooting and I'm headed back home to do some work before I see my wife. My wife is out for lunch with her friends. When I get home I don't see the flowers. I see a big ribbon on the table and I think "that's odd". I give these "blooming Idiots" a call again and they say "yes sir the flowers have been delivered". I smile knowing my wife would have been surprised and happy and is now holding the flowers beaming. I do my work and rush to hug my wife. When I see her I hug her wish her Happy Birthday Sweetheart and ask her about the message. She smiles. I ask her about the E-Card and I get another smile. I hid a birthday card in her iBook bag and she found it. I LOVE my wife's smile. It's beautiful
Then my plan goes down hill from here... I ask her about the flowers.... "What flowers??" she replied. The dreaded words.. What has these "blooming Idiots" done.
I call these "blooming Idiots" to F#*!! them up and cancel the order because by now the surprise has just been flushed down the drain. The say it is already near my house. So I say no.. I want the flowers delivered to where I'm having dinner which is only 10 minutes away fromwhere I live. This is 7.30pm and they say OK. We head off to dinner and wait for the flowers.... Guess what time the "blooming Idiots" finally get the flowers to my wife, 8.30pm. A full 12 hours from the time I wished she would receive it.
She loved the flowers and I knew she would. I just wished it would have been there earlier.
So to the "blooming Idiots" , thanks and no thanks..
Yes My wife I agree with you... I love you too
Often
I awaken to eldritch sunrises at my window,
Black clouds floating east towards me,
Their furthest eastern edges gilded in a pinkish gold, And a narrow beam of the bright light seemingly aimed Right for my eye.
The sunrise arrives always on time. The delivery boy never misses. I don't even have to order it.
