It's Valentine's Day!

... which means that excuse to eat chocolate that you've been waiting for since Christmas has finally arrived! Enjoy-- with someone else, if you like.

I'm participating in the Show Me the Love Blogfest, hosted by Stephanie, but before I give you my answers I'm going to show a little love to Mia, one of the most entertaining bloggers on the whole planet (seriously, if you aren't reading her blog, then there is not enough fun in your life), and spread the word about her giveaway. Click on the link and fill out the form by 12 PM GMT on Thursday (that's 6 AM CST, for the time-zone-phobics) to be entered to win books! And drawings! And other fun stuff! Or, don't click and make my odds of winning better. Actually, I'd prefer you do the second one. ;)

And now, my answers to the Show Me the Love Blogfest:

1- What is the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for you?

It really is a very cute bear.

Chad and I had only gone on one date when he went out of town for a week (without telling me he was going, btw; I spent a week wondering why he didn't return any of my calls). He came back with a bear, and explained that he saw it in the store, thought it was really cute, and decided that he would keep it until he found the girl he wanted to marry. I knew then that the bear was going to be mine. :)

2- What is your favorite love song?
"All I Ask of You", from Phantom of the Opera. I know, it's unusual, but Chad loves it, too, so sometimes we sing it together. 

3- Do you have a favorite romantic movie or book?
Notting Hill. Unfortunately, my husband does not love this movie as much as I, but he'll still watch it with me from time to time. And he does recognize it when I quote from it, so it's all good.

4- Do you have any romantic plans for Valentine's Day this year?
Homework. Sigh.

5- What's your favorite romantic treat? (candy, chocolate, edible body paint, etc...)
Chocolate-covered strawberries. Chad keeps promising to bring home body paint one of these days, though...
