Did you celebrate Valentines Day.....

[AdoreMyDogs]

Hubby and I celebrated a day early this year and went to the Lipizzaner Stallion show last night. That was our Valentine's Day gift to each other.

Hubby did get me a mani/pedi package from a spa here. I wasn't expecting anything like that. He says I deserve a night of pampering

What a thoughtful hubby!

Well, I wanted to have a special day but it's been a disaster so far.
I got throwed up on by Frankie, just as hubby was bringing me coffee....
We'll see tonight when everyone is home.
I am planning a special dinner (risotto with shrimp and scallops, steamed broccoli and heartshaped brownie bites with pecans)...
I got him chocolates too (his favorite kind) ....
I know he didn't get me anything... he's not very romantic...
I wonder how long I will put up with that.

We don't normally do anything.
I usually work all day (big $$$ as a waitress/server)
Although I did get him a big 1/2 pound choclate bar and he shared it with me

Nada, but I am single, but I am going to see a the drag queen elections for carnival tonight with some friends. Nothing says romance like men is dresses.

One of my friends was agonizing yesterday what to get her boyfriend, a new cellphone or a portable DVD player, I was like WTH? ifs like a month after Xmas and you are both in debt. I don't understand why some people go so far for these holidays. What happened to a hug and a kiss and cooking a special dinner. Didn't realize Valentines was a day to grab 200 dollar + gifts.

Finally got my Valentine's Day present out of the box and it is charging...

My very own, handheld...Garmin navigator! And it is pink for Valentine's!

I am so excited!!!!

Yes, I always get something for the kids in my family- my 6 year-old nephew and my cousin's daughters who are now 10 and 8. Usually a card, a little present and some candy of course.

My husband and I celebrate it sometimes if we feel like it. This year he got me a really nice gift (I always get my gifts early for everything!), I got a North Face sleeping bag that's supposed to be good for down to 20 degrees (we love to go camping but I always get cold). I can't wait until I get to use it!

I didn't get him anything yet, but I have had a hectic week and now I am sick- I was actually a little grumpy this morning because I felt so awful. I think I should at least get a card or something if I can rally myself out of the house besides going to work.

Not really, I got flowers and I cooked a nice dinner for tonight. We will spend the evening with our little girl Valentine! It's her day today

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.

A loaf of bread, a jug o' wine, I don't need no Valentine.
