My best AND worst V-Day stories… BEST PART: I came home from work and my boyfriend of the time was already in my room, ready with chocolate-covered strawberries he had dipped himself and a bottle of champagne. WORST PART: He dumped me a week later, ironically enough. I wonder how long he’d been planning both!

This year was also on my list of the best. My boyfriend and I recently moved in together and had a housewarming party the weekend of V-Day. He had written me a lovely card (and even drew a heart on it, which says a lot given his artistic abilities)and bought me a pair of new boots (the card would have been just enough, I was so touched). After the party, he wanted to give me a “real” V-Day out so we planned on sushi… then he got sick… so we ordered pizza and watched a movie at home, which was absolutely lovely because we have been running around so much recently. So after he felt a little better, he insisted on taking me out for sushi. Sigh, I’m a lucky girl
