on 11/22/2005 If your sweetheart loves the outdoors, but the weather is inclement, here is a really fun idea. First and foremost, this must all be a surprise! Pack these items in picnic baskets, or any large attractive container. Do not use a plastic laundry basket. That screams "redneck!"

Lovingly pack a big, soft, sensuous blanket or sheepskin rug to have your picnic on. Add some fun colored paper plates, napkins, and utensils. Valentine prints would be nice. You can get these very cheaply at any dollar store. Plan some scrumptous treat for your sweetheart. Choose their favorite dishes that can be served easily. For example, try a smoked salmon salad, sub sandwiches on lovely sourdough bread, vinegared cucumbers with fresh red onion, and chocolate-dipped strawberries to finish.

Also, think ahead and buy or order a CD of birds singing, so it sounds like you are outdoors. Now, gather all the foilage you can from your place, family, and friends. Use several artificial trees, ficus trees, palm plants, and ferns to green up your living room.

Now that you have all this planned, throw in a romantic movie before or after the picnic (depending on your schedule). Plan to feel the love! If you go to this much trouble, you will have captured a heart forever.

on 11/22/2005 I've been collecting lyrics to songs that perfectly describe how I feel about my husband. It takes some time, thought, and investigation, but I think it will be well worth it. One could even record such a collection and leave it in the car stereo on Valentine's Day morning.
