Valentine's Day

[kittysbecute]

All of the threads in singles whether they are pro, anti or just valentines in general are making me look forwards to valentines day and want candy.

Anyone have any fun plans for valentines day this year? Or some good or funny memories to share.

This is the first year I've ever had a real Valentine... so it's new and fun and flattering and I've been blushing a lot lol. Don decided to do this "12 days of Valentine's" and he's given me a little gift each of the past three days (and I guess until Valentine's Day). I don't deserve it, but I am definitely enjoying it We're planning a special day out together the weekend before, hoping for nice weather so we can visit Longwood Gardens and have an Amish buggy ride tour.

I have to work that day and I know it will be an exciting time for my clients, so that will be cute. My husband and I may go out to celebrate that night and may get each other gifts -- but we also may not -- it won't exactly be practical if we end up spending a bunch of money unexpectedly on medical bills for either the dog, me, or both of us. Either way, it is all good. We don't limit special time together or gestures to one day a year. And I'm sure we can think of fun free ways to have a romantic evening at home if we don't have the money to go celebrate that day.

The year we got married, we went to get our wedding rings on Valentine's day. That was cool.

Also, the first year we dated, Kirk had never had a Valentine's day with anyone and we were long distance so he was sad. I made him a photobook with a reason I loved him for every Valentine's day I had missed. It was kind of funny because he had recently asked me if I could tell him why I loved him (he had given me lots of reasons why he loved me) and I (knowing I had made the book) told him to let me think about it. When he got the book it really touched him

I'm not sure if we are doing anything for Valentine's Day, but I doubt it. It's not important to me or him. I don't have anything against Valentine's Day (and the idea of sending little valentines to friends sounds fun), but it seems like a commercial love day and not a real one, which makes me want to save that for our anniversary.

Probably some candy... lol (just a tad as I am doing well with weight loss), some time with the Lord, gaming and maybe Skype with a friend.

 

[SplendidTree]

Oh and I am sending my girlfriends cute cards. <3

 

[Humble Pie]

If I had someone special...

 

[Stravinsk]

Once, a certain someone urged me to make a play on a relative of his, as a "certain day" (hint hint) was coming around.

As if I should recognize the day. Why should I?

Now I'd just send such a person this video:

St. Valentine's Day (Pagan) - YouTube

And explain that it violates my religious beliefs to in any way honor it. I guess that excludes me from sentimental women of a roman/Babylonian persuasion. Good.

 

[Tink]

I don't think we're doing anything. I made him a card, though.

 

[TheProject]

I've made about 15 coupons for things like a Movie Night, A Day at the Mall, A picnic, A day doing whatever she likes, etc... Thought that that would be a good way to give of myself to her.

 

[Rhye]

I don't think I will be doing anything only because the person I am seeing lives a bit further away then me, but we did see each other this weekend and he gave me the sweetest card with the sweetest message. I have had it on my bed for the last week and every time I miss him I read it.

Last year my friend and I went for burgers, I hope this year we do something together too. Its nice to spend days like that with your friends too. =)

I can't remember the last time I had a Valentine.

A friend of mine who's husband is deployed was my date last year for Valentine's Day. We went to a chick flick and then had dessert at Cracker Barrel. It was really sweet. We'll probably do something again this year.

 

[Tink]

Friend dates on valentine's are just as awesome as romantic ones, IMO. I've done that a few times over the years!

 

[CrystalBrooke]

Meh, I'm not big into Valentine's day. My husband and I do special things for each other randomly throughout the year...not just on one day that we're supposed to. I am going to make dinner, I've been so busy lately that I've not been cooking much. I figure he at least deserves a good meal. Emily will go to bed a little early that night, but she will get something special. I do love a good reason to get a card, though, so I'll probably get him one even after I told him not to get me one.

How many here know the origin of this holiday?

 

[Tink]

I know the supposed origins, but there are so many conflicting reports...who can be sure?

 

[athenken]

This is one case where the holiday could be based on more than one guy called St. Valentine.

I remember one year for Valentine's day I'm pretty sure I spent the evening dissecting a squid or something in my college biology class

 

[crishmael]

I'm taking a math test.

Both sound like SO much fun. :/
