Valentine's Day at its Very Worst

One of luxuries of being married is Valentine's Day is a holiday I no longer have to sweat out. Fella's I can remember far to many day's going down to the last minute hating this day with the passion of all men before me. You know the drill, Flowers, Candy, Vermont Teddy Bear, or plain old bear in some cases...Well, ya boy, he'd go all out..Or at least try to..No more. This year my wife has told me I can be a little more simple this year. I plan on doing just that. Dont get me wrong, I may mix a surprise in, but other then that, I'm coloring in the lines this year...

My Worst Valentine's Day Ever

This happened to me while I was in the military and stationed in Menwith Hill Station UK. (about 60 miles north of London) I had just got there, and at the time I was still in love with my High School Sweetheart. So its, Valentine's Eve, and I just ordered a Dozen Roses online as well as a box of Godiva Chocolates to give to my girlfriend(who was a freshmen at____College of Medicine) . The chocolates had a note attached and the proof that I knew she received them was the calling card I had packed within the note. Well the next day Valentines day hits, no phone call, im a little worried she didnt get the package, but I have my email confirmation. The day after hits, still no call. I wander if every things ok, so I give her a call and no answer at her dorm room. By now ya' boy's worried.

That night around 2am GMT or 7 pm cst U get a phone call from my boy who was going to school with my then girlfriend. He tells me about how good school is , and that he didn't know me and ___________ had just broken up. To my surprise, "I didnt know either" I responded. So I asked him what made him think that. He then goes into detail about a Valentines Day Party the ______ Fraternity was throwing and how my then gal, was all over a dude who I had knew in my High School Football Days. He approached her and asked her how she was doing (while with man X ) to which she replied, "good , this is my friend ____" i'm helping him with his studies"...Not her brightest moment, considering my homeboy was on the same football team this guy was on. (and it wasn't like he wasn't going to call me and give me all the details.) Now this party ended at 4 am. My homeboy had to take his girl home, so he thought he'd take my girl as well since they both live in the same dorm area. He notice my girlfriend was getting in the car with her "friend"; he told them he wouldn't mind giving her a ride b/c its on the way, to which his teammate said, its cool, I'll take c are of it.

Well, as you might expect , take care of it he did. You see the teammate that I mentioned just so happened to live 2 doors down from my homeboy. Guess who my homeboy say leaving his teammates dorm at 11 am the next morning? Yep you guessed it. My girlfriend. During her walk of shame my 'boy asks her if she needs a ride back to her dorm , she obliges and hops in (3 miles is one helluva walk) Of course he told her that he'd be calling me , to which she said, give me a chance to do it first. Well, about 3 hrs after my homeboy got off the phone with me, she finally called.

No need to tell you how much fun I had during that call. Any body have a worse experience then that?
