For the first time in 44 years, I have a girlfriend on Valentine's Day.
For the 44th time in 44 years, I will be alone on Valentine's Day.
But don't cry too many tears for me. My Valentine will be arriving next Friday.
I came close to having a girlfriend on Valentine's Day once, though. I know that I've mentioned her before, but I didn't give her a cute name. I think I'll call her, "The Teach".
The Teach and I had been dating for 6 months, and I was saving up for an engagement ring. As we got closer to Valentine's Day, I search through catalogs for the perfect gift. Hey, this was like, early '91. The internet wasn't really a "thing" yet.
I decided on CHOCOLATE.
Teach got the present in the mail, and broke up with me on Feb. 6, just a week before Valentine's Day. She claims the two things weren't connected. To this day, I'm not sure I believe her.
Yeah. As Milton Snavely Hershey as my witness, yes, I sent her a chocolate pig.

Dude...ouch.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
I wonder if she's out there somewhere right now blogging about the time a boyfriend gave her a chocolate pig for Valentine's Day....
;-)
While I agree chocolate is good in all forms (even barnyard animals), Scope, maybe avoiding PIG references would have been best. Sometimes we girls a wee bit sensitive about things like that, just FYI.
*snicker*
Yeah
FINALLY! I've been saying for years that they should meld two of the greatest flavors on earth in one: chocolate and pig.
Here, I see a success. Well, in the melding department, not so much the romance. Sorry about that one.
Really, I HAVE to know what you must have been thinking at that point, to pair those two together.
Wouldn't a simple I.D. bracelet have been sufficient? :) Oh, wait, that's for like 8th grade.
Well, the chocolate pig still trumps my standard gift of power tools...
I'm with Cora. Generally women do not like to be associated with a sow. Or a boar. Or for that matter, a bore.
Make every day Valentine's Day. But minus the chocolate. You don't want to turn into Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
Chocolate-covered pork rinds would've won me over but anything pig-shaped is probably not a good idea.
