God, have I really been sorry lately. I have tapped the male brain. And it frightens me. Despite my occasional girlie yearning to receive flowers at work, I always had this cynic's heart about such gestures outside the context of birthdays and select holidays. I've discovered, however, that there are times when whatever offense you committed is so utterly embarrassing that you don't know how else to remedy it.
Men are good at embarrassing themselves with offenses.
Given that my offense was embarrassing, I won't get into it here. Then buy something. The epiphany came after I looked up the boyfriend's work address and leaned on one of my favorite online merchants . Men are rendered so completely speechless with shame that all they can do sometimes is buy apology flowers. And love, too.
