Valentine's Day

Desdenova · Motherhood: Sleep is for the weak!!

Aaaawwww

I think it's even more special to celebrate your first VDay as a married couple!

We have 2 options right now: get take out from our favorite Chinese place or that DH cooks a couple of steaks I'll do some yummy sides, some wine and a dessert that we both love.
That's going to be hard because I love chocolate and he doesn't like it very much, and he loves tres leches cake and I hate it lol.

Maybe some fruity dessert!

Oh and this all be done at home, I don't like going out to an actual restaurant, it's always crowded AND overpriced, no thank you!

EmmDee · Guru

Hehe, maybe my romance is broken then?

Sister is getting divorced and I'm single. She was upset about VD, so I invited her to join me in my yearly tradition - I go watch some kind of shoot-em-up movie. So we're going to see Monuments Men and then we'll grill steaks.

EmmDee · Guru

I can't wait to see Monuments Men. Makes me excited for our move next to the discount theater.

Nothing here except for the kids. DH and I had our anniversary last week a week before Valentine's day. So we were supposed to celebrate then but he injured his back and so we did not do anything. :(

The kids have a party at school and I am bringing stuff for that and getting their Valentine boxes ready and Valentines ready.

EmmDee · Guru

oh no, how did he injure his back?

My husband & I met the day before Valentine's day, but we don't really celebrate the holiday as it's evolved. We'll do cards and maybe a token silly gift. I make the kids' milk pink and may bake some cookies or something for them.

I intend to by some dark chocolate truffules--and eat them all by myself!

I... may do the same thing!

Or not, since I have like 15lbs to lose. Sigh.

Dried apricots dipped in dark chocolate are NOT THE SAME THING.

EmmDee · Guru

OH YUM! I love dark chocolate truffles but my waistline does not need them.

winds55 · Guru

I'm just waiting for the 50% off chocolate and conversation hearts. I don't think they make Valentine's Day Necco Wafers, though. :(

:)

EmmDee · Guru

I haven't had conversation hearts in.....well, I can't even remember the last time. I don't remember liking them.

Aardvark · But my mom says I'm cool!

Probably nothing - I have 2 appointments Friday that are about 5 hours apart and not close to home, so we can't do lunch. We sure as heck aren't taking AB out on a Friday "holiday" evening, even if it is to a casual dining place.

Aardvark · But my mom says I'm cool!

I bought a bag of Lemonhead ones and they were really good. They weren't all lemon-flavored, either.

RichardInTN · I believe in I.D.I.C.

Just going to be another work night for me... unfortunately.

RTL · Member

No celebration here. I am single and alone, so it's just a regular day like any other day. hmm

Aardvark · But my mom says I'm cool!

Honestly, RTL, it's just another day for us, we just use any excuse to go out to lunch when we can afford it.

He was exercising and tried a new pilates exercise and over did it. He has been doing lots of crunches and push ups and chin ups type exercises but never pilates and I guess it worked different muscles and he was sore as heck for days and could not move!

We're going to try to go out, but I still haven't lined up a babysitter. IDK where we're going to go or what we're going to do. DS has an appointment late that afternoon. We'll see.

DH is buying me a rose every day of February.

EmmDee · Guru

Ok, the rose every day thing is pretty sweet. Different kind each day?

living revived · Senior Member

That would be awesome. No, the florist nearest to us only carries red to sell singly.

O.k. ... your DH wins the "Most Romantic Dude" prize...

I don't think we are doing anything special, but DH just walked by and asked, "When is Valentines Day? Tomorrow?"

Still pretty darned awesome. Heck, a flower a day would be cool to me. I just love the smell of fresh flowers.

Balloon Animal · Guru

That is super sweet. Good for him. :)

Roses are my favorite. I like all colors but my fa

Balloon Animal · Guru

my favs are red, pink and white mixed together.

I also really want some rainbow roses. Those look so cool.

My boss bought two dozen roses this morning. One set is for his wife. He passed out the other dozen at work to everybody except the one guy he supervises.

He also had two boxes of Sharies Berries delivered. Again one for his wife and the other box for us.

At lunch time I saw the strawberry box in the fridge with two left in it. When boss returned the box was empty and he stomped back to my desk to see if I knew who ate them. He was of the opinion that after he finished passing them out, the last ones were off limits. He then went around the building grilling people, but no one knew anything about it.
