My father was an alcoholic and spent most Holidays and weekends drunk.<BR/><BR/>Near our home town, there was a factory that made cedar chests and I had always loved them. For V-Day he brought home a lovely minature mirrored cedar chest filled with individually wrapped candy . I still have the pieces of that chest.<BR/><BR/>The unexpected can be so much more <BR/>than usual<BR/>LindaLinda S.

One Valentine's Day he slept in late (while I was up with the colicky baby all night) and when he finally woke up all rested up (the jerk) and realized it was Valentine's Day, he got upset and threw clothes on and ran to the store...to buy a non-stick cookie sheet...for his friend's fiancee...and nothing (NOTHING) for me, his wife. When I cried foul all I got was attitude, apparently I was "selfish" because the fact that he had married me was sooooo special that he felt he was off the hook for the rest of his life from having to ever get me a card or a gift. The girl he bought the present for deserved it, he said, because she was having a "rough time" in her relationship - she was "questioning" things and he wanted to "show support" to her. Aww, how nice of him. Found out soon after that he was having an affair with her. Ouch, huh?<BR/><BR/>But, not to be negative here, my best valentine's day was spent with my daughter when she was four and we bought some fish and a little fish tank. She was so absolutely delighted and that made it just a completely magical moment! :-)Corahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640568359378959501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8538543006942323244.post-7850313999358853562009-02-12T21:41:00.000-08:002009-02-12T21:41:00.000-08:00Oh,no what a horrible vday.

He was just dreamy...tall and tan, longish golden hair, the best six pack I'd ever see to this day, and was a surfer. Need I go on? I was totally smitten. We had been dating for about 2 months and a few days before the big V-Day, he called to tell me he had MONO. "The kissing disease?", I asked. He said, "We'll yeah." I thought "Weird...I don't have it." I didn't think much of it though. No way he would be kissing someone other than me! Plus, I was excited for V-Day! I made him a box of comforting lovable things: my favorite stuffed animal, a surfing video, and I even recorded my voice on a tape recorder so he could listen to it (looking back on that, I have to admit that was a little weird of me). I left the box at his house and did not hear anything for a couple of days so I called him. He said those deaded words "We need to talk". He gave me my box of "love" back and said he did not deserve me. And he was right...he didn't. Anyway, at least I learn two important lessons from that: <BR/>1) When someone says they have Mono and that they can't see you for a while, they are breaking up with you<BR/>2) Recording your voice on a tape recorder is not sexy, it's scary<BR/><BR/>Happy V-day everyone!Renee Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617201303697540023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8538543006942323244.post-59357098418420533712009-02-12T13:14:00.000-08:002009-02-12T13:14:00.000-08:00I have a best/worst for Valentine's day.My wife's ...I have a best/worst for Valentine's day.<BR/><BR/>My wife's birthday is the day before Valentine's.<BR/><BR/>So starting in 1988 (year after we met), I would buy something big for her birthday and small for Valentine's, and then switch it for the next year.<BR/><BR/>This year is right on course: big for the birthday (gift basket, cake and a band singing "happy birthday" to her), and something very small and personal for Valentine's.G.

You want to know the worst part? It was Outback. Would I do that now? NO friggin way. My honey and I have never really gotten to spend Valentine's Day together before because we both worked in the restaurant industry (that's how we met) and if you work in the restaurant industry, good luck getting off. It's like, only one of the busiest days ever. So anyways, this will be the first year we'll get to spend it together because we no longer work in that business.

One year I specifically remember when he picked me up to go to school he came to my door with a card and a stuffed animal. I thought that was it and I was still happy. Later after I got home from school I had a huge bouquet a flowers sitting at my door step that he had delivered. After that we went to diner, nothing to special there, but when we went back to his house after he had a platter of chocolate covered strawberries, that he has made himself, waiting for me. We spent the rest of the night eating them by candle light and he even gave me foot massage! He is still creative and sweet to this day. :)Gabrielle Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14654300417854751410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8538543006942323244.post-23719695602604294302009-02-12T08:58:00.000-08:002009-02-12T08:58:00.000-08:00I don't have any horror stories or bests.
