Happy Valentine's, Becky!
I had also read that the man who was making the Taj Mahal for his dead wife got so wrapped up in the building process...one day he tripped over a long dusty rectangular box. The man was so angry about the "useless" box just lying around that he ordered it thrown out. It was his wife's coffin. >_< Moral of the story is, don't get so wrapped up in stuff that you forget what's really important.
