Ditto. February 14th has no significance in our relationship. We celebrate our birthdays and our wedding anniversary; those dates have personal meaning for us.avanutria wrote:We don't bother with Valentine's Day. It's not necessary in our house.

Re: VDay
Being single - with no significant other at the present - Valentine's Day really stinks.

After dinner will be a candlelit black currant and vanilla aromatherapy soak in the tub, with soft music in the background.

Hope she likes the ring...

Re: VDay
We got the 2009 St. Valentine's Day Musical Challenge out in the mail and we're starting to receive e mail from people who have received it. I expect they'll be hinting for hints soon.
We're both home sick with colds/flus so I'll be making a nice soup tomorrow. Today was canned stew.
Once on a 02/15 the man in the line behind me saw me buying a box of valentine chocolates. He said to me, "You're in big trouble." I said, "What?" He said, "Yesterday was Valentine's Day." and I said, "Oh, I would have been in big trouble with my wife if I paid full price for these chocolates."

Re: VDay
We will give each other cards and small presents (probably chocolates). After work we plan to go to a contra dance.
My mother-in-law always makes us a card, but we have to stop over at her place and pick it up because "stamps are too expensive".

Re: VDay
Valentine's Day is an opportunity to celebrate romance. My wife and I both feel that it is our good fortune to have found each other, both of us having spent years living alone. My wife still has her Valentine card from last year out in a conspicuous place on the kitchen table. She has been reminding me about Valentine's Day for two weeks, fearful that I might forget. She needn't worry though. I'm prepared with card and small gift. This year we have a house guest, so I'm not sure how we will celebrate the day.

Hubby sent me an audio valentine... "Happy Together" by the Turtles...
We regularly celebrate our good fortune at finding one another, ... don't really need V-day for it... but it's a nice excuse for a little extra.
I need a bag of M&Ms or a 6-pack of Hershey bars... mayhap I will feel unsick enough tomorrow to go out and procure said goodies. If not, I'll draft a daughter.

Not to go off topic, but today my dad was reading an article in our local free paper about how an unarmed police officer in our county arrested a big-time Chicago mobster back in 1933. The gangster's name was Roger Touhy - a crony of Capone.
My dad says to me - "Oh, Roger Touhy! My Uncle Tommy was his cell mate!"
Just one of our family's small claims to fame, I guess.

Re: VDay
Oh, lucky you. When my wife & I were just friends, that was one of the first songs that we would play together on the piano at the same time. It really saves a lot of time learning a song if you only have to play 1/2 a song/one hand of a song. Thanks for the memory.anniemcu wrote:Hubby sent me an audio valentine...
