    We'll be sitting in the truck, driving to Connecticut for VD. Maybe, we'll go out to dinner with my sister and her GF when we get there. Frankly, I'd be happy if we just ordered some pizza and stayed at the house.
    What I really, really, want, is for DH to get a job.

    Fight is over! (I can be swayed by thai food). We're off to the bicycle races!

    I think it's also good to celebrate Valentine's day if you don't have a partner by doing something loving for yourself, or perhaps a sweet gesture for a lonely elderly person or a child you know, or for your pet. Love can be directed towards any deserving creature! Valentine's Day is about love and kindness.

    I so agree... way toooooo commercial... like you only show appreciation on one day??

    However, if we were to "do" Valentine's Day today (yep, its the 14th here right now), then it is completely appropriate that the race scheduled for this afternoon is a Time Trial... his fave race discipline, my fave race discipline... an excellent way to spend the day together...

    Yes, but this vortex means I get dinner out, and maybe new road shoes (I'm not really a roses kind of girl).

    We do nice things for each other all of the time. In fact, some people think we are "sickening," because of how much time we spend together!
    That said, I love Valentines Day. I think it's because my dad always made a big deal of it. He would come home with two of those giant heart shaped boxes of chocolates for me and my mom. My mom always got a piece of nice jewelry. I still have the little white hankie with red hearts I got from my dad when I was 4.
    I don't care if it's commercial. I just like the day. I liked it when I was single, too.

    Does it count if we wait until Monday? Nala goes to the groomers and I'm getting a massage.

    My FIL invited us for babrbeque with my nieces who will either be demonic or cute as pie. I think I will go to the store and get them some chocolate to get them all hopped up and torture my brother in law like a good Aunt does! Since we spent too much at the vet the past month (happy V-Day Dr. W) we won't turn down any free meals.

    DH felt awful about not being able to do anything for me so he took me to dinner last night, my choice. I really wanted Chili's Southwestern Eggrolls, not too pricey and oh so bad for you. They were yummy.

    Happy Hallmark Day Everyone!
