No party in my class. If the students bring Valentines they can hand them out, but that's it. And they have to give to everyone an dno playing favorites.
We don't celebrate it at home either. I figure Thom gave me a Valentine when he didn't gripe about me eating all the Klondike bars this week.

Isn't ice cream high on the glycemic index? Therefore, you need it as training/recovery food and the calories don't count.
Good for you on the V-Day activities in the classroom. A romantic holiday and children? I'm with you and Trek.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

Long but interesting article. Just what we need, school children participating in fertility rites.

Oh man... this is a sore subject for me too... I just recently realized that I AM A GUY! LOL... my friend mentioned this holiday and my first thought was how to get out of it...
the man I'm dating already said he wants to get me something
crud... I don't wanna do gifts... and I don't want him to either... I told him so, but he's determined he wants to get something... he's not a cyclist so it makes it hard... 
Maybe tickets to the Michael Buble concert... I think I can handle sitting thru that... not really my thing, but he likes him...
I said, can't we just go have dinner and skip the rest??? Sigh... he asked my clothing size... should I mention that I could use more cycling shorts and give him the SKU number???
just dinner... please...
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

Ask for a red/pink cycling jersey!!
If you're a guy, my BF is a girl. I had to put on his new license plate this week because he couldn't get the screws out...

Funny VD Story
My French ex-BF of lots of years ago went with his friend in Miami to shop for an engagement ring for the friend's GF. Ex-BF mentioned that he had got me something expensive and shiny, too! You can guess what I thought. Imagine my disappointment when I opened my present to find a gold manicure set in a pretty woven leather case! Hehehe, I still really like it, though.

I guess I'm the only one who loves Valentine's Day! Mainly because it's an excuse to make fudge and cook a nice dinner. We have a special meal as a family, and Blaine gets stuff for the girls and I get stuff for the boys. We usually do balloons and candy. It's just fun and the kids love it.

But see, slinke, you are doing for each other. You're putting in time together. It's not just Blaine buying you diamonds.
It's the stupid diamond commercials that really drive me nuts. Like the only way a man can really show a woman he loves her is to buy her diamonds and he's a loser if he doesn't. Grrrrr.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.
