Valentine's Day is Almost Here!
By Kelly McClymer - February 11, 2010
What do you do to celebrate the big V-day? Are you a hearts and flowers kind of person with cards and chocolate? I have a confession (hanging my head, here) -- I'm not. I liked V-day in elementary school -- it meant candy and a bag full of cartoon cards.
In junior high, things changed. Instead of getting a bag of cards from everyone else in the classroom, cards meant "I like you, do you like me?" Too fraught with emotional angst for me to get involved in.
Unfortunately, my husband is one of the most romantic creatures on Earth (how did we get together? opposites attract, obviously). I have tried to think up a romantic V-day treat in the past. But we've been together a long time and I don't know what to do this year.
A romantic dinner out? We don't like crowds. A day at the coast? Cold! Snow! Brrr. Sigh. What's an unromantic soul to do?
Maybe I should check out the internet and see what other people are doing? Yes. Research. Finding out what the truly romantic are planning.
Does anyone else have this much trouble planning for V-Day?
