just because

i bought myself flowers today.  i probably shouldn't have, being on a student budget again, but i did anyway.  so i tried to justify it...

...because i finished my 3rd very difficult week of school
...because i survived my presentation to 200 undergrads
...because i ran for the first time in a long time

...or, maybe, just because flowers make me smile :)

bingo. i'd say that's worth $9.99.
