Walt Kowalski surprised me with an early Valentine present.
He's bought me flowers in the past for holidays and special occasions, and while I love flowers, the price of flowers on February 14th is killer.
(Don't even get me started on the Christmas flowers I tried to buy for Grammy this year. I had a coupon for $20 off of a minimum order of $20. I picked out a nice, small bouquet in a fancy snowman mug. The total of the order was $23.99. Perfect. Grammy will love it. Then I proceeded to finish my order.
Shipping tax.
Handling tax.
Delivery cost.
Holiday fee. (What is a holiday fee?!?)
State tax.
By the time the ordered was ready to be submitted the final total AFTER subtracting the coupon was $47.00!
Delete. I love you Grammy, but some coupons are not a bargain.)
Walt Kowalski also knows how I can't stand to be wasteful especially with money.
But he's also sneaky. Sneaky in a good way, that is. He still bought me flowers for Valentine's.
I love them. After I hugged him he stopped and pulled away and said "I just realized I created more digging work for myself didn't I? Crap."
It's ok. It's outside "work" in the summer. That is the kind of work we like.
Oh and I got Walt Kowalski a couple of gifts, too. Nothing as fancy. New headphones (he needed them badly!), a couple of scratch off lottery tickets, and a hockey decal for the bar mirror.
