Did you celebrate Valentines Day.....

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.

I'm with you Mary. Valentine's Day is too commercialized for me and I boycott it at every chance. They had a Valentine's Day lunch at work but I stayed at my desk and ate my salad. Can't be bothered. Being alone on V Day is no biggie to me. However I was very pleased to get an e-card this morning that really made my day.

Hubby & I just asked each other "Will you be my Valentine?" No big plans, but I ordered us some sushi for take-out. Then my sweet hubby came home tonight & surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers! Blue-violet and deep magenta-purple mums with coral pink carnations - stunning!

I'm sorry, but that almost had me in tears... HAHAHAHAHA

Well I don't know if you'd call it celebrating..

But I'm in the FFA/Animal and Batonical Sciences program at school so of course my class had to do something with flowers. This year we sold roses, bouquets, etc that people could get delivered to their friends. I was selling them during lunch two days in a row and I bought one for a friend who bought one for me. Not to mention by helping the sales I got a few points for the academy.

Tonight me and 8 other people went to Applebee's togather. It was really fun and interesting. It was nice to see my friends I haven't seen in a long time. Of course, it took an hour to get a table for a party of 9 but it was really fun and worth it.

I was a little sad because I was expecting a big surprise from my parents. *cough* Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Puppy *cough* I have been hinting to them I've wanted one for the longest time. I've been researching them for about a year now ever since my parents interest was sparked by one we met. Everytime we see one, they say "those are the most gorgeous dogs! they have such cute face." I've always found them quite adorable and I've been sending breeders and adoptable dogs. No luck yet. Hopefully one day.
