Are you one of those? You know\u2026one of those <\/em>greeting card people? I think you know the kind I\u2019m talking about. The ones who say: \u201cI just have to pick up a few birthday cards<\/a><\/strong>. I\u2019ll be back in 5 minutes!\u201d Then they leave someone waiting patiently (or maybe not so patiently) in the car while trying to find that perfect greeting card among thousands at the local stationery store.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when it hits you \u2013 all of those choices! Should I pick birthday cards with balloons or gift packages? Flowers or scenic views? What about the verse? Simply stated? Humorous or serious? Maybe I shouldn\u2019t get a verse and just go for one of those blank greeting cards. That would be more personal, no? I\u2019m sure I could come up with something intelligent to say, or is there some level of poetic genius expected? Oh and I almost forgot, I need to pick up business birthday cards<\/a><\/strong> for a few people I work with. This could take some time.<\/p>\n

After much thought, I decide to play it safe and go with the brightest, most colorful birthday cards I could find with simply stated verses. Nice contrast I thought. Wait a minute, what do I see here? A greeting card sale! I must have missed that on the way in. I can\u2019t pass up a sale on greeting cards, now can I? Back to the drawing board I go.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, approximately 30 minutes later and counting, my significant other is still waiting or is that him stomping through the entrance? He just doesn\u2019t get it. Choosing the right personalized birthday cards<\/a><\/strong> is not easy. I need to convey the right message to the right person in the right way. It could make or break a friendship and possibly means the world to the person that receives it! So I admit, I lied when I said I\u2019d be back in 5 minutes. I suppose I should also admit that I too am one of those<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Are you one of those? You know\u2026one of those greeting card people?
