uniquely-ironic's tags:
This morning as I was leaving the house I was confronted by a bouquet of roses that were sitting on the latch to the front gate.  I had to stop a minute and think.  Was I supposed to leave them there and leap the gate, take them, go out the gate and replace the flowers?
 
I didn't want to spend too much time thinking since I was already running late.  So I settled on a happy medium.  There was no card or indication as to who they belonged to.  I took them with me to work and they are now in a vase with water.  I'm going to take them home tonight and find out if any of my housemates was expecting flowers.
 
They might be mine.  There are a couple of men who flirt outrageously with me and might have a clue as to where I live.  They might belong to my many pierced faced new roomie, who has a boyfriend.  Could even belong to one of the boys, though why they wouldn't just bring them indoors eludes me.
 
So the mystery will remain until tonight.  Then it's a matter of process of elimination.  This all reminded me that I haven't received flowers in a very long time.

    Well I hope you enjoy them while they're in your possession.  Sounds really nice, and it looks to make an interesting evening playing Sherlock for the roses.  I'll be eagerly waiting to find out whom they belong to, and hey, if the truth does not unfold ... you can all share, that'd be pretty neat too.  :-)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 26, 2009....
    Hege - yes, if no one claims them I'll leave them on the kitchen table for us all to enjoy.  It's intriguing to say the least.

    I love little surprises that a day can bring :) , specially if it can distract one from a routine day.

    I hope it brought a smile on your face, and brightened your day even if ownership was not entirely clear.  It was just pragmatic to bring it along and save it from wilting!

    My romantic heart wishes it was from one of your many admirers, uni♄ lurv! hihihi

    Roses! <sigh> can I pretend that I flew in overnight and left em there for you and take credit? I didn't think so ;)  I love a romantic mystery...
  • Twylarants said on Oct 26, 2009....
    Of course they were for you!  What color are they?  I love yellow roses, or white....pink....real dark red....
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 26, 2009....

    PBW - well, it was pragmatic and yet I get those questioning looks from coworkers as well! fun!  Yes, even if they end up being someone else's the entertainment will be fun

    frags - lol, I had someone else in mind for a fly by rose drop, but you can take credit if you want to.  I hope whoever they belong to enjoys them.

    Twirlie - not neccesarily for me.  There are about 6 red and 3 orange roses.  What does orange mean?

  • Lucytorial said on Oct 26, 2009....
    wouldn't have a clue what the colours mean, flowers is flowers... I wonder who the hell it was? and was for?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 26, 2009....
    Lu - I really don't have any idea who they are from and why
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 26, 2009....
    OMG Orange roses mean "I desire you"
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 26, 2009....
    Lu - well, if those are my flowers, I hope they're from someone I really like!
  • MissMimi said on Oct 26, 2009....
    I can't remember the last time I got flowers.  I think I bought them for myself.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 26, 2009....
    MMM - see! now that's just wrong.  You sneak Mr. Mimi's credit card out and order yourself a nice bunch of flowers.  Have them write a steamy note too!  Then when he asks who sent the flowers you can tell him "you did!"
  • MsBradford07 said on Oct 26, 2009....
    I hope those roses are for you.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 26, 2009....
    MsB - wouldn't that be nice?! :)
  • CreativeWoman said on Oct 26, 2009....
    It's a nice mystery, to say the least.  I hope they were for you.  :-)

    some poor bugger is feeling dejected ,or someone who was jilted just stuck them there, its a mystery anyhow.
    Blue.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 26, 2009....
    CW - I think the mystery aspect is the best part of it!
     
    blue - maybe, or perhaps some secret admirer is trying to peak my curiosity. (it worked)
  • RollingC said on Oct 26, 2009....
    I think that would be a pleasant mystery to start the day/week with.
    Lucky you.

    Hmmmmmm.....maybe that naked walk had the desired effect :P
  • cuppajava said on Oct 27, 2009....
    maybe I sneaked in overnight and left them.....ya never know
  • abbonzai said on Oct 27, 2009....
    I hope these rose will suitable with you.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 27, 2009....
    RC - it was nice, but now I'm a little weirded out by it.
     
    super - well, if they had come from my walking companion, I'd say yes.  But he's about 3000 miles away.  I doubt he dropped by.
     
    cj - yes .... I'll never know! lol
     
    abbonzai - oh they are very pretty.
  • cuppajava said on Oct 27, 2009....
    hey.....you should know me a little better by now - I have the force remember - 'use the force CJ,use the force' isnt that what you used to tell me......?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 27, 2009....
    cj - you know, you're right.  I bet you played some jedi mind trick and some clueless flower vendor was tricked into leaving them there for me.
  • queenparanoia said on Oct 29, 2009....
    ohhhhhhhhhhh keep us posted if you find out whothe mystery guys is... ;-)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 29, 2009....
    queenie - I never did find out for sure.  Two men come to mind, but I haven't heard from either of them since I got the flowers.  Maybe it was just a random act of kindness.
