Well, since my husband works and won't be home until midnight - I have no expectations of being taken out to dinner. Gifts? He's buying a new car soon so we are saving for that - I'd rather us not spend a lot of money on gifts for each other. Plus, I'm really tired and have my hands full with a 2 year old and a new baby - I'd rather us both just same the time and the effort. Maybe I'll make a nice dinner for us the Sunday after Valentine's Day when he'll be home for dinner. We'll see.
Now - before we were married and had children - we usually went out somewhere nice for dinner either on or around Valentine's Day and we usually got each other a little something but not a big something as a gift.There was one Valentine's Day where he kept telling me that he was going to make it special and make it Valentine's week instead of Valentine's Day. He totally dropped the ball and I was not happy. I told him that I didn't care if he made it a big deal - but don't tell me that you are going to and then don't do it!
All I want is a heart-shaped pizza. Or any kind of pizza. Granted, I feel that way many days during the year, so February 14 is not too much different.
I plan to get off work at about 2:30 in the afternoon, making a stop at a liquor store and buying enough liquor to kill a ***, then going to get chinese takeout, then going home to shower, eat some of the takeout, and probably drink enough to go from drunk to sober in one night.
Anymore, I hate valentines day. Thank God I no longer watch TV.
Hallmark holiday. Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Flying spaghetti monster holidays just past us. Maybe a small gift but really why all the consumerism for cards, expensive dinners in the middle of Feb? Spend, spend, spend, door-buster sales and keeping up with the Jonses=materialistic society. Cook a home meal together, Break out some wine. Most of us in big cities especially are barley at home as it is.
I have some wonderful friends who have helped me a lot in the last year and plan to drop some gifts off for them. I don't plan to go out to dinner though -- too difficult still for me to see a lot of couples together on special days. I do love Valentine's Day and thankfully had a husband who celebrated it!
Jacked up prices and crowded venues are not our cup of tea. Let the rookies have their night to impress!
Valentine's Day in a restaurant is the worst. Yeah, it's a complete joke of a holiday, but at the same time a little acknowledgement is fun. A cheesy card, a special dinner at home, a horror movie marathon. Whatever floats your boat.
No and no. Would never go out to eat on Valentine's Day. And I asked SO if he'd bought anything yet, he said no, and I said let's not. Christmas was not that long ago, there isn't anything we need and I'm not interested in buying "stuff" for the sake of it.
