This was probably the best Valentine’s Day ever.

It’s very likely that I’m not an easy person to shop for. Nor am I laid back enough that I would turn to Adam and ever say…

“Let’s just skip it this year.”

I love this holiday. I know so many people who loathe this holiday. But here are the things I don’t like on Valentine’s Day.

1. Restaurants – crowded. Totally un-fun.
2. Chocolates – predictable, predictable…
3. Roses – so unbelievably expensive and stupid.

This leaves him with the simple task of figuring out what to do without playing into the top three stereotypes of the day. Other clichés like champagne, cheesy chick flicks and lots of mushy “I love youuu…” exchanges are (and were) welcomed.

It was a great day. Hardly any computer time, blackberry on silent and stowed away. Next year will mark the 10th year that Adam has been my valentine…

He’s got a lot of planning to do in the next 12 months to top this one.
