Did you celebrate Valentines Day.....

[Cookiebaker]

yes, we celebrate it, which is a huge change from our early years. I used to always get Mark the card and chocolates....but now he is way bigger on it than I am. He has been tantalizing me for a week about my gift, and wants to give it to me first thing in the morning. I told him that we had to wait 'cause I didn't have anything for him yet....and I still don't know what to get him.

My boyfriend and I are definitely celebrating this year, but due to short funds, we're putting it off two weeks. He's already got me something (or two somethings...) but I haven't picked anything out for him. There's a wide variety of things I could get him, none which are romantic, lol. Clinique Happy for Men, this blade sharpener for his razor, a DVD set called Sliders, a new cell phone, this really cool light switch that turns on a light without having to get up, and some other things. lol, none are romantic at all but definitely what he wants. I'll decide later as to what to get him.

He's such a girl in the aspect that he loves letters. Seriously. I have written him silly notes before, and he still has them to this day. He keeps all things to put in a photo album or to just hold on to until I make a scrapbook - movie ticket stubs, concert tickets, amusement park tickets, etc.. all kinds of stuff. So, I'm writing him a letter/poem to give him.

We may going skiing in 2 weeks to celebrate instead of something fancy. We like getting dolled up and going somewhere fancy, but we adore skiing. LOL

But really, it's all up in the air right now.. his gift depends on how much I can afford - I went ABSURD this past Christmas spending $400-$500, and now I'm short on cash.. hehe. And what we decide to do depends on how much he has.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!!!! <3

Well me and hubby celebrate Valentine`s too, nothing so out of the ordinary but I cook something nice, yesterday we exchanged cards..........and this is where I really messed up!!


Last year we managed to buy the same card to each other. I gave it to him first and so he hated the idea to give me his, since it was identical and went to buy a new one. This year I still remembered that I had that card in the drawer and did not bother to buy a new one........and he remembered! He told me smiling I did not give this to you because I did not want to feel as embarresed as you are right now!!!!!

So I have to make it all up in cookig tonight!!!!

Happy Valentine's to everyone x x x x x x

Not a thing. Stuart got me flowers last year, first and only time in the decade we've been together he's done anything for V-day. I still think he was up to something I never found out about! Course, he also doesn't do birthday, anniversary or Christmas gifts! He's doing well if he remembers the right day for my birthday! He often thinks it's a day early!

My Mother told me when I got married to pick my battles carefully...I gave this one up entirely. Now if I really want to say he bought me a present, I just pick out what I want and charge it to his Visa! Works out for both of us--I get what I want, he doesn't have to shop!

My husband always picks out the most endearing cards. He takes a long time selecting them. Sometimes I get chocolates or flowers too.

This is from the card that I found on my computer this morning.

Being married to you
has been the finest thing
that's ever happened to me.
You have been my partner, my lover,
and my very best friend.
Knowing I have your love
lets me face life's troubles,
secure in the knowledge that
there is a special person
who thinks about me,
supports me,
and cares for me more deeply
than anyone else...

I'm thankful
to be able to share
my life with you!
I love you.
I'll always love you.
Happy Valentine's Day

Hubby and I got each other cards without the "are we going to bother this year" conversation Who said romance is dead?

[Cataholic]

We do something, and always have, in our family. On Monday, Grammy and Jonah showed up at my work with a HUGE heart shaped balloon, and little chocolates. Jonah ate one of them, and said, "we can share, mommy". LOL, when I want to share, where is that attitude?

Jonah sent V-day cards to some people, and has a little somthing for his Grammy. I have 4 books and a candy treat for him tonight. They did Valentine Cards and a party at school today, too.

Ok well is my face red, guess what hubby suprised me and came home with this lovely bunch of flowers, i am in total shock, two years in a row i have got him a card and novelty chocolates, and i got the usual nothing, so you see it is best to expect nothing and look what happens, i must say i was pleasantly suprised, he does have a romantic side left in him after 16 yrs, he he.

I really enjoyed reading everyone's post's, here in NZ it is only celebrated by husband's and wife's, girlfriend and boyfriend, and partners, i found it unusual to read families do it in the states and children, how nice.

With fondness, I remember my mother would always give us a gift on Valentine's Day...it was either pink or red...a blouse or the like...

I did send presents to my nieces--stuffed monkey toys with hearts on them. My Mom sent me a new pair of jammies for V-day. You can never have too many pairs of jammies!

Typically we don't do anything, but this year Andy got me a necklace and took me out for Sushi last night. He knows how much I love it though he won't eat it himself.

Alan left the planning to me.. or as he put it "You make the reservation. I'll pay." Anyways, I took it upon myself to make a reservation two weeks ago for a really nice fresh seafood restaurant in the Port of Vancouver. It's supposed to have a fabulous view (and expensive menu shhh).

I told him no gifts but he says he has a small surprise. I'm getting him a pedicure on Saturday (he loves getting pampered but won't admit it). It's partly a Valentine's gift, and partly an "I"m sorry Keeva ate your shoes" gift.
