I hope your New Years was super special.

Believe it or not, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.  I set
up a section devoted to Valentine’s recipes, history, clipart, and
creative ideas. http://theromantic.com/valentinesday/main.htm

Have a warm and romantic week. — Michael

Congratulations to Elie Gross who correctly guess the destination for
our romantic getaway.

Ashton, Athena and I will be spending the rest of January on the tiny
island of Anguilla in the Caribbean.  I’ll still be sending out the
newsletters but I will not be running any contests for the rest of the
month.

I’ll Buy That For Five Dollars
by Jason Greenwich
http://theromantic.com/

This is something that my wife, Allyson, and I did while we were
dating.  We were both in college, of course that means we were both
broke.

We were also both tired of the typical “dinner and a movie” date, so
we put our heads together and came up with an idea.  We went to our
local Wal-Mart with $5 each, to purchase a surprise gift for each
other.

We set a time limit of fifteen minutes, as well as a meeting place.
It was hard to make $5 go very far, but you would be amazed how fun it
was.

We had to sneak around from aisle to aisle to avoid seeing each other.
We were peeking between the shelves, and spying around the corners.

I’m sure that the other shoppers thought it was funny, but we didn’t
care…  we were in our own little world.

At the end of the date, we had spent a minimal amount of money, but we
had a great time.  We felt like little kids.  After leaving Wal-Mart,
we went home to exchange surprises that we had purchased for each
other.
