Back to School! This is actually really strange for me since this is the first fall since I can remember that I haven’t gone back to school (graduation is weird). Maybe I am just one of the odd ones, but I was always extremely excited to go back to school no matter how great of a summer I had been having. I could barely sleep the night before my first day or my first class (you would think it was Christmas or something). I love going to new classes and meeting new people, I love meeting new teachers or professors, I love picking my seat and getting to buy new notebooks, and binders, and picking out my favorite pens (0.5 mm fine point if you’re curious). And that first day of class where you write down everything perfectly because you imagine that this year you’ll be more organized and neat with your notes and you’ll be on top of your game every single week (first week dreams obviously). Everything is all fun and games, and then you get your first student loan bill.

International Friendship Day (8/7)

August 4, 2011

Hello 1800Baskets readers!

Congratulations to Shannon Baldus (posted at July 28, 2011 at 3:37 pm) and Anne M (posted at August 3, 2011 at 6:24 pm)! Please send your names and address to amariscal@1800flowers.com and I can send your gift baskets right away! Thank you to everyone who participated in our blog challenge even with our comment system acting a little wonky! Also thank you to everyone for participating in our Facebook Free Chocolate Dipped Strawberries for a year contest! We’re really glad that everyone enjoyed it, so keep letting us know how you feel on our Facebook page and invite your friends to join in the fun! It was a definite hit, so I’m sure we’ll be doing similar contests in the near-future. But for now, on with the show!

Is it safe to assume that since you’re all here reading this that I am among holiday-friendly people? People who just love holidays and know where their nearest Hallmark store is? I don’t know that I’ll ever hang up giant cardboard cut outs of eye balls or decorate glasses for National Eye Exam Month (yes that exists and yes it’s this month), but some instituted holidays I think should be celebrated to the fullest. International Friendship Day will be this Sunday, August 7, initially created by the greeting card industry but just recently declared by the General Assembly of the United Nation this April.
