MM Sent Flower/Office Buzzing!

I just got flowers from my MM at the office. The card read....Happy Valentine's Day, You Know Who! Then 30 minutes later I get some flowers from my H! Now the office is all buzzing! When I got the first delivery I thought it MIGHT be from H but was guessing it was MM. Any ideas how to handle this? I love it but hate it too.....I don't want to get a reputation at work. Now there is all sorts of speculation about why I'm getting 2 bouquets!

If they ask tell them it's really not their business. I think it would be great to get some from my mm, i can't even get any from my H! lol. I wouldn't worry about it too much, maybe tell them you don't know who they're from!! And let them wonder, probably don't have a life of their own and have to get into someone elses. I would just enjoy it.

Aww...I'm jealous...A few months ago the same thing happen to me, but the flowers were from H & a friend not OM! The office was buzzing but I just told them I had no idea who had sent the second set of flowers!! The office buzzed about me having a secret admirer and I just went with the flow....Give it a few days they will eventually forget about it....

Just smile your secret smile.. hummm a little in the back of your throat and say "my husband is VERY good to me." If there's any chance H may find out you got two deliveries, I'd deny deny deny.... just pretend innocence. Wow! A secret admirer. You are hot! hee hee

I was just watching an old episode of Friends where Ross was jealous of a new guy Rachel was working with, so he filled her office with flowers, just to let everyone know she was taken. It reminded me of last summer when, for no reason, H sent me flowers to work. Every day when MM came to talk to me, there sat those two dozen roses, staring him in the face. It was pretty darn effective. I wonder if sometimes husbands don't do that to establish their territory? Anyway, if that happened to me, I'd probably tell them there's a guy at the gym or at a restaurant I go to or whatever who's been bothering me and he seems to not care that I'm married and I'm trying to get him to go away but he won't take a hint. You'd have to be careful not to let them get concerned that you're being stalked or something... Or you could just tell them you have no idea who it is, but it says from You Know Who so if someone told me that, I'd be suspicious, honestly. I'd be more apt to believe it was someone they knew but that they wanted to go away!

Here's another idea to keep the office gossip down. I belong to a sorority, we have secret sisters and send each other cards and gifts on holidays. Just tell them its from your secret sister?? Just trying to help!!

That's a great idea! Thank! What's funny is my boss (who I've been with for 15+ years) is helping me out. We have a great relationship but he doesn't know about MM. The boss is married but he and I have had our share of wild single time (not together but we each know tons of stories on each other.) So....he kinda suspects I might be having an A but I would never admit that to him. He came in yesterday and cracked up laughing about the two sets of flowers and said "you can tell everybody that those came from me if you want". Which would be very logical; he does nice things like that sometimes and the flowers that are from MM are very tropical (not the typical red roses with lovey dovey stuff and balloons!)so they could definintely be from my boss.

OH, IT'S GREAT TO BE A GIRL, ISN'T IT!!!!! Happy Valentine's Day everybody!
