The V-day I got a mysterious dozen pink roses was memorable. Didn't even know what the sender looked like.
I am getting my Mom a box of chocolates, but I remain not a fan of this holiday- I like people who can show me their afftection every other day of the year too, not come up with the big show for this one and think it means something.
