Well, I figured I'd share my Valentine's Day story, since it was my first with someone!

I've been dating Molly for the last three months now. I decided it would be best for me to cook dinner last night. Well, cook is hardly the word. I decided it was easier to buy a Chicken from Sam's Club and rushed home to cook green beans, macaroni and cheese, and Italian bread! I just took out the Chicken and warmed it in the oven to make it look like I cooked the chicken!
As she came in, she saw the present I got for her. It was a basket with chocolates, a teddy bear, lotions, and a couple of planted tulips in a pot.....since I found out tulips are her favorite. I owe a big one to my co-worker who makes these gift baskets on the side. Anyway she went ga-ga over it, saying how beautiful it was. She gave me a gift too. A cookbook on making bread! A good gift to say the list.
So we sat down to eat dinner. I tried to be romatic by burning some candles and playing some soft music. After finishing and cleaning up, we sat on the couch for a while and talked. Then I decided to give her a massage while lying down in front of the fire/fireplace! How romantic can you get here? Anyway, basically she enjoyed it. I was going to use some massaging oil but I figured it get too messy though!
So I thought it was a great night myself. Figuring that it was my first actual Valentine's day with someone, I believe I was successful in my endeavor to be romantic. But the truth of the matter is that I still can't see why we have to have this one day of the year to labeled as the most romantic day of the year. Like most holidays, Valentines Day is just another hallmark holiday!
