1800FLOWERS Solves My Volcano Flight Problems

I don't really have the money to fly my mother to where I am or to fly to where she is on Mother's Day, so I guess I'll have to settle for flowers from 1800FLOWERS.com.  Not that this is such a bad proposition, really. 

Actually, with all the volcanic dust littering Europe's skies, I probably couldn't get there in any case, as most flights from South Africa go via Europe, and the last time this Icelandic volcano, aptly named Eyjafjallajökull (whatever that means), erupted it kept spewing ash into the sky for months.






So, I hope you enjoy the flowers on Mothers Day, mom... and I'll be sending a box of chocolates with it! Oops, there goes your diet...
