VALENTINES DAY GONE WRONG
A few tidbits to remind you that it could always be worse!
“When I was in high school, this guy took me out to a nice restaurant. When we went to pay, he had no cash and was planning on writing a check. They did not take personal checks. He didn’t have a debit card and I didn’t have money on me. They ended up taking his check since it was all we had — we were both embarrassed! Then we walked out to his truck to find that he had locked his keys inside. And it was raining! He had to climb up on the bed of his truck, open that little window in the back, crawl through, and unlock my door.” — Meg00
“My husband (then boyfriend) was working a part-time job as a pizza-delivery guy, and he requested Valentine’s Day off because we had reservations at a romantic Italian restaurant. We made these reservations six weeks in advance! So, of course, my husband’s manager called him on February 14 and asked him to come into work. My husband explained that he already had plans, but the manager cut in and said, ‘Well, I called the restaurant and cancelled your reservations, so that shouldn’t be a problem anymore.’ We were absolutely horrified! My husband didn’t end up quitting the job (at that time) because he really needed the money. So that Valentine’s Day he delivered pizzas while I sat home by myself.”

FUN VALENTINES ACTIVITIES
A few ideas for things to do with your sweetie on Valentines day!
Create a VIP Club at home
Who needs a bar to dance? Load your iPod with sexy tunes, from Kanye to Katy Perry, and hook it up to the speakers in your pad. Bonus points for hanging a disco ball (find these cheap at Walmart, Target, or your local party store) to get a club-like vibe.
Create a Cozy Retreat
We all made blanket forts when we were kids — now re-create it with a sexy twist. Line the floor of your living room with mountains of pillows and watch a sexy flick together.
Hidden Boxes: There’s another cheap way of bringing a smile to your sweetheart’s face. You can have small boxes, packed with his/her favourite chocolates with tiny gifts in them. You can also arrange a maze or hide these boxes for him/her to find and get surprised, every time a box is found and opened.
