Last week I asked all of our Facebook and Twitter fans to take advantage of the 50% off offer at Oakbrook Florists. By ‘take advantage’ I meant: buy me flowers. The whole day I sat around the office secretly waiting for someone to walk in with flowers so I could make all my coworkers jealous. It didn’t work — there were no flowers. Since then, I’ve been contemplating ordering some flowers for myself … In the mirror, I’ve practiced the surprised face I would make when I first saw the flowers, as well as my answers when coworkers ask questions. Who are these from? Well, I don’t know. They have no note, maybe a secret admirer. What’s the occasion? Hmm, I think someone just really loves me. What? YOU got flowers? Who do you think you are? Ummm (I don’t really have an answer for the one. I should keep practicing). Anyway, I could go on, but I will spare you. Since I don’t really want to get flowers for myself, I am putting out another call For flowers!

If she used Pago on her phone, Lee could easily find, schedule and pay for the nail appointment of choice. That way when her nails are wet, she doesn’t have to reach into her purse to grab her credit card (do you think she has to bring her own nail polish?). How many times do you think Xie has strained her neck from moving 15.5 feet–approximately 5 lbs–of hair so she can hear the phone call? The app would allow Xie to schedule her appointment for a trim without any struggle. Tap a few buttons, go through a few screens, select some important information; the salon will send you a message confirming your appointment has been booked and you can check that task off your to-do list. Easy and simple — browse. order....
