I have to admit, I'm excited to see what my husband will do. I tell him we don't need to celebrate the holiday because his mother had a heartattack on Valentine's Day two years ago which lead to her death. He insists on saving the evening for us and hinted he was writing something for me. I feel terribly unromantic because all he wants is a set of new tires for the car. I've agreed to buy them but he won't take anything else.

Buy a mechanic's jumpsuit and wear it into the bedroom after changing the tires yourself.
