... in my bathroom I see before me one of life's most sacred, beautiful symbols... a rose. (after reading the Da Vinci Code u will understand, esp if u are a woman). So in curiosity I wanted to see what each color of rose means.
Red Roses proclaim "I love you." They are the ultimate symbol of romantic love and enduring passion.
Pale Pink Roses connote grace, gentleness, and gratitude.
Deep Pink Roses say "Thank you."
Lilac Roses indicate the sender has fallen in love at first sight with the recipient and is enchanted.
(my favorite color) Pure white roses symbolize truth and innocence. They also send other messages: "I miss you" and "You're heavenly."
Peach Roses speak of appreciation, gratitude, and also sympathy.
Yellow Roses indicate friendship and freedom
Single Red Rose- "I love you" (but I'm not going to go broke telling you).
Single Rose Any Color- "I thank you" (and I'm still not going to go broke saying so).
When I go off to college I want to buy myself a flower every month to have in my dorm but I know that I will become busy, not have time to go out and get them so maybe I will ask my rents find a flower shop near Slippery Rock PA where my rents can order them and the shop delivers them to me. I remember my dad did something like that for my cousin when she bought her condo in MD. He just called a floral shop nearby, gave them an idea of what he wanted and they delivered them to her. A flower "just because".
Spent the day at home with my parents, slept till 11, then took another nap from 2-4pm, had a longggg nice in depth talk with my mom this morning that really helped me with some stuff that has been going on. I can't even begin to describe how much I am thankful for her and admire her. Also spend a lot of time on my comfy bean bag lounger reading. Finally around 8pm my parents asked if I wanted to go out for a bit with them. I drove them to a new Bruster's ice cream that just opened up 15 minutes from here (which is more convenient than the 40 min away one), I treated them to ice cream, drove them to Border's, then home by 10pm. First time driving on a major highway at nite and it was pretty cool, listening to Enya, talking with the pops... "I don't think I tell u enough that I love you and are glad u are my daughter." *happy sigh* I really really am going to miss them. We made an agreement that one day a week I spend with them instead of going out until I go off to college, but really that means only 4 or 5 more days with just my parents and that seems too little so I think I will make an effort to do things with them more. I needed a break anyway, and right now I feel good, happy, content... listening to Simon and Garfunkel, on my bed with my eyes closed just breathing.
... and of course u can't say it enough times, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH!"
sweet.
A handful of my friends have attended Slippery Rock since we aren't too far away. Best of luck to you and I'll keep on stoppin' by =0)
