I know what you are thinking: "Who in the world sent Working Mom flowers?" and probably most importantly, "What the $#&% happened to the photography skillz, yo?"
To answer your question(s), in chronological order; "I have no idea" and "I used my Blackjack."
The envelope says To Michelle c/o Attorney at Law [name withheld to protect the innocent], and the card reads Love, J.
Let's review. My name is not Michelle. It's MARCHELLE. Yes, Mr. Clean's name starts with J, but he has never signed it just "J." I thought maybe it was a 4 day late anniversary gift, but it would be more like him to surprise me on the weekend with a hand delivered bouqet of Kroger's finest flora & fauna, than to have a silk floral arrangement delivered and not spell my name right or his own out completely. I texted him to ask if he sent them and his response was "uh, no?" and when I wrote him back and told him what the card said he replied "?????"
Yeah. What he said.
There are 2 reasons why I don't think Mr. Clean sent these.
A) Although a girl appreciates some flowers 'ery now and again, we are on somewhat of a mutual understanding that floral arrangements are kind of a waste of money. If you must, buy me a gerbera daisy or a hosta or a flat of phlox or a new Dooney & Bourke or a Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 micro lens. You know, something along those lines.
2) If Dave Ramsey doesn't approve, it ain't bein purchased. Sometimes I wish someone would sneak up on Dave with a roll of duct tape and put his little envelopes in the shredder. You feel me? Heather W. - you know what I'm talking about. But nevertheless, my husband is a Ramsonite of the highest order, God bless his penny pinching little heart, however annoying it may be at certain times, which times may or may not be when I want a new hand bag.
D) He totally would have claimed all rights of ownership for the anniversary gift score. Mr. Clean 1, Working Mom 0.
So maybe that's three reasons [and a super secret hidden movie trivia reference if you can guess it], but the mystery remains: Who is this elusive "J" and why did they send me a lovely arrangement?
I hope it's not a creepy court-appointed client.

It's a secret admirer...someone who has only heard your name said and not written...someone who also didn't take the time to see you had a wedding ring on...OR is there a Michelle at the law office? Maybe it was delivered to the wrong person?!
How fun! Hope you figure it out...I know it would drive me nuts!
that's another thing scrappy! there are only 4 of us girls here - plus it said c/o my boss' name. his last name is VERY unique - it's polish if that tells you anything - there are no other attys around with a name even CLOSE to that. but our firm only has 3 attys, 3 secretaries, and my mom is the receptionist! hhhmmm.....
call the florist. ask...
if they say no threaten them...but not like kill threaten...more like slander..not slaughter.
country girl - i can't call the florist cuz i don't know who they are! which is creepy b/c most florists put their name on the card!
my mom said some delivery guy just dropped them off and said "these are for michelle/marsha/marcella??"
*sigh*
story of my life.
How freaky is this.... Makes you kinda want to look around more closly when you are out and about. Wonder who it is? I would get really creeped out if you got something else soon after this one.
ever since i read this earlier i've had the backyardigans song in my head from the episode where it's like Clue....mysterious...very mysterious
oh and i love that you used "'ery"...very cross cultural of you!
Are you packing heat?
If so, take them outside, shoot them up and leave them there. Somebody will get the picture!
Hmmm...I'm making myself crazy over the movie reference. I've even used it myself, but obviously it's been too long since I've seen that particular movie. I know it's not Dances With Wolves.
laura, since you are the only one who bit, i'll tell ya. it's from home alone, when buzz is telling megan why he isn't worried that anything will happen to kevin before they get home from france. A) he's not that lucky, 2) they have smoke detectors, and D)they live on the most boring street in the whole USA where nothing even remotely dangerous happens.
i am such a loser for knowing that.
PS - I watched DWW again yesterday.
How funny about the movie reference - I would have never gotten it - but I did notice the A,2,D LOL
Ha! Somehow I had it in my head that it was Mr. Mom. Good one.
