You mean to celebrate the pagan holiday that originally involved young Roman girls writing their names on cards that were picked out by eager Roman boys so the two could pair up in a pagan type swinger's party? I think I'll pass!

The holiday is really an excuse for us to buy good chocolate. Sometimes we'll get each other a thoughtful little gift if we already had something in mind and needed an excuse to buy it. And, my husband is the romantic and doesn't turn down an opportunity to celebrate us.

My anniversary is on the 16th, so Valentine's Day gets wrapped up in that celebration. (The reason we got married on the 16th is because marrying on Valentine's Day is far too cutesy and nauseating for me. )
For the first 16 years we went away overnight, but last year we had an "anniversary and a half" celebration, where we went out for a nice dinner in February and booked a place in Waterton in August.
We haven't decided which way we'll go this year.

My husband will get me some fowers next week some time while they're still only $14.95 for 2 doz at Costco (instead of waiting until the 2nd week of Feb when they go to $20 for 1 doz).
We will probably go to lunch that day.
Then we will park the car and avoid public at all costs.

What was the threadspoiling, Val?
Just me getting frustrated and making unneeded comments to ray's desires and my situation. The usual.

Huh... well, don't give up the ship quite yet. I mean, hang in there buddy. There's always a chance. Never, never, never give up. It's not over 'till it's over. Endure. Perservere. Get creative - make a plan! Think positive! Keep your chin up. Don't worry, be happy. Hold to the rod. err- wait, wrong speech.

At least you won't be trying to play air hockey. Pha-eeeeew!
Trying? Why I'm half-alligator, half-mountain lion, and 3/4 wolverine. I kin play any kind of game better, faster, and with more flare than all the acrobats in China put together. My nicknames pistol cuz I'm a fast son of a gun. I whipped six fellas at once with one hand tied behind my back, and the other hand wearing a mitten.

I think that's because men don't shop as often as women. I mean, my mom does most of the shopping year round, and my dad eats the chocolate right around with her.
It's just Valentine's day that men feel the need to buy chocolate. I bet there's a dramatic increase in the non-home improvement purchases made by men surrounding all of the women-pleasing holidays

I went shopping for my wife's Valentines Day gift. She picked it out and said, "Go buy it."
I'm always lucky coco.

Happy Valentines Day! I might go to celebrate Bridget's first Birthday today. We were not able to celebrate last week due to snow. Whether I am there or not, the party is scheduled at a local restaurant.

Okay smaug, at least you have a healthy self-esteem.
