EDIT: This post is anna's fault. I wrote it after seeing the always adorable Angus in his Valentine bandana.

I'm sorry
Angus isn't a puppy anymore, but if you want I can send him over to spend Valentines Day with you
Would that help any?

Well valentines day is relatively new in NZ, probably been celebrated here for five years or so, I thought it was only meant to be for boyfriends/girlfriends and husbands/wifes, but I see in US parents buy their children gifts, phew glad that ain't the case here yet.

I would like a card and to spend time with hubby, maybe take in a movie or something, the day before the 13th we are going to our favourite restaurant VALENTINES as my uncle and Aunt are here from Scotland visiting, so that will be great, and my daughter is going to be away at a slumber party, so we will have time alone for a change, so thats all I want really.

That would be lovely, thanks. That way, hubby would fall in love with him and break his neck trying to get me a puppy just like him.

I DO have plans....


I'll make a lunch on friday night, get my clothes ready and go to sleep early.

I am going to wake up, have breakfast, get into my truck and spend a romantic day amongst the Beautiful California Redwoods.

I'll be outdoors, in the sunshine and fresh air, out there with Mother Nature doing the things I love the best!!!!


I'll be putting up a redwood fence to earn some extra cash.

We usually don't make a big deal out of Valentine's day. Just a card, maybe some candy (but I hope not this year since I'm trying to lose weight. ) I don't think we'll bother with a restaurant... Valentines Day+Saturday Night=2+ hour wait at Outback.

Hardliners Plan Valentine's Day Protests

Hardline Hindu groups have threatened to blacken the faces of couples celebrating Valentine's Day, saying the Christian saint's day is a violation of Indian culture.

Valentine's Day, which falls on Saturday, has steadily gained popularity in India in recent years, but Hindu hardliners, incensed by what they see as creeping westernisation, have often disrupted celebrations and stormed shops that sell greeting-cards in protest.

"The heads of those not adhering to our requests would be shaved. Their faces may also be blackened," said Dilip Khandelwal, a leader of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) group in the central state of Madhya Pradesh.

"We will not allow any such foreign festival, which is a violation of Indian culture, to be celebrated in our land."

Police said they would tighten security for the day, which has been marked by violence in some parts of India in the past.

"We will maintain a strict vigil and also keep an eye on those found teasing in the name of Valentine's Day," said Vipin Maheshwari, a police superintendent in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh.

Two years ago, Bal Thackeray, firebrand leader of the ultra nationalist Shiv Sena, called for a ban of the celebrations on February 14.

Hardline Hindus from the Shiv Sena, the VHP, and an allied group, the Bajrang Dal, who say the celebration offends Indian social values, have invaded gift shops, burned cards and disrupted celebrations in many parts of India in the past.

But people in cities such as New Delhi and Bombay are unfazed.

Shop windows are decorated with heart-shaped balloons, cards, gifts and paper roses in the run up to Valentine's Day, while advertisements fill radio and newspapers.
