#Surprise Flowers This little tool traces its origins to a joke-argument between my husband and me about four years ago, when I was first learning Python. The premise of the argument was that while he bought me flowers on all of the important special occasions -- e.g. my birthday, our anniversary, Valentine's Day -- he never bought me flowers "just because." His defense was that since he loved me so much all the time he never thought "I love her so much right now that I'm going to buy her flowers."

I said, "I think I can fix that," and Surprise Flowers was born.

The tool is simple. It is intended to be run as a cron task on a computer you use fairly frequently. It picks a random day of the month to email your significant other (or, you can set it up to run for yourself!) and on that day will email a "buy flowers" reminder.
