		<description><![CDATA[Even President Obama knows what to get his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, for Valentine&#8217;s Day: chocolate!
The President apparently put in his order several days ago for a chocolate brownie cake from Bake Me A Wish, a premium nationwide cake delivery service. 
The site says that the Triple Chocolate Enrobed Brownie Cake (which he apparently ordered) is a moist and fudgy brownie cake enrobed in rich chocolate which then gets completely blanketed in dark chocolate shavings before being finished with drizzles of milk and dark chocolate.
I think I need to pass that link on to my husband!

Dianne F&#8217;s most romantic moment:
A “Romantic Moment” is &#8211; as is beauty &#8211; in the eye of the beholder. Mine was the minute I met my husband &#8211; I hit him with a grape while he was sleeping on the beach . (I was actually aiming at someone else for a friend.) He looked up, smiled and went right back to sleep. Apparently, he liked what he saw, because he “called me”. That was 49 years ago.

<p><strong>Dianne F&#8217;s most romantic moment:</strong><br />
A “Romantic Moment” is &#8211; as is beauty &#8211; in the eye of the beholder. Mine was the minute I met my husband &#8211; I hit him with a grape while he was sleeping on the beach . (I was actually aiming at someone else for a friend.) He looked up, smiled and went right back to sleep. Apparently, he liked what he saw, because he “called me”. That was 49 years ago.</p>
<p><strong>Carla Spence&#8217;s most romantic moment:</strong><br />
Several romantic memories come to mind. One in particular was the anniversary of when my fiance and I first became a couple. We got Panera soup and brought it home and ate it while sitting on the floor by the fireplace. Then we cuddled and watched movies. It was fabulous!</p>
<p><strong>AmandaK&#8217;s most romantic moment:</strong><br />
I was very sick with the flu and my boyfriend at the time was in a different state. He knew I loved flowers, so he ordered a red rose after we had hung up the phone. When I got the rose, on the card, he had said “I hope this makes you feel better.” I thought it was just very sweet of him!</p>
<p><strong>Angela J&#8217;s most romantic moment:</strong><br />
It started our romantic, after complaining about yet another fishing trip my husband said, “Honey, there’s nothing better I would like than to have you beside me—” and before my heart even began to flutter he ended with, “–in a trout stream.”</p>
<p><strong>Kasey Proctor&#8217;s most romantic moment:</strong><br />
Mine would have to be getting a note from my hubby to meet him at the boat dock where we keep out boat. When I got there he had some takeout from my favorite local restaurant, some wine, some chocolates and also a message from my boss saying that it’s see me late the next day. We took the boat up river, anchored for the night and had a wonderful evening alone with no interruptions.</p>
<p>&#8230;..</p>
<p>Congrats to all!</p>

These are too cute! We were able to snag a Wii last October to give to the kids for Christmas. We got them some fun games we&#8217;d tried at a friend&#8217;s house, but you know what they play with the most? Making Miis. They made so many Miis within the first week that we had to go through one by one to delete them because there were just too many.

<p>These are too cute! We were able to snag a <strong>Wii</strong> last October to give to the kids for Christmas. We got them some fun games we&#8217;d tried at a friend&#8217;s house, but you know what they play with the most? Making <strong>Miis</strong>. They made so many Miis within the first week that we had to go through one by one to delete them because there were just too many. </p>
<p>Anyway, I came across these hand-crafted <strong><a href="http://paulpapedesigns.com/Store_CI.html">chocolate Miis</a></strong> the other day and think they&#8217;d make a perfect gift for the <strong>Wii gamer</strong>. They&#8217;re made with chocolate from the <a href="http://www.omahachocolate.com/"><strong>Omaha Chocolate Company</strong></a>, weigh about 2.1 oz and stand four inches tall. They&#8217;re available in <strong>dark chocolate</strong>, <strong>milk chocolate</strong>, or <strong>white chocolate</strong>, and each has a little red candy heart on its shirt.</p>
<p align='center'><img src='http://www.blisstree.com/chocolatebytes/files/2008/01/chocolate_mii_2.jpg' alt='chocolate mii' /></p>
<p>The box they come in is also part of the gift and is designed to look like a <strong>Wii console</strong> with the sentiment <strong>&#8220;Wii belong together, you and Mii&#8221;</strong> on top. The Miis can be purchased as a male/female set, or a combination of the two, making them the perfect gift for <strong>family</strong>, <strong>friend</strong> or <strong>loved one</strong>. The entire package is <strong>$14.95</strong> and they&#8217;ll ship internationally.</p>
