I would like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. What are everyone's plans?

We are going to order take out from a nice restaurant (including cheesecake !), build a fire, and rent a movie that our child will enjoy too. We'll "camp out" (my son's term) and have our dinner on a blanket in front of the fire.

Then on the weekend we will do our date night.

Oh yeah, and there better be some flowers up in da house.

happy valentine's day! i hope everyone had a lovely one. Mine was boring. My husband isn't into all that romantic "rubbish". he came home from work in a not so good mood, so i didn't even get a "happy valentine's day" from him. he ate dinner on his own before rushing off to church meeting (mutual). he picked me up some chocolates on the way home from church and said "i got these for you because i saw everyone else buying chocolates for their spouses and thought i would do the same ... happy valentine's day". wow how lovely, eh? Hope everyone else' was fabulous

Valentines Day......

Everyday with my Sweetheart is Valentines Day.

As a child, I remember looking forward to the small heart shaped boxes of chocolates and a card from my parents, as I got older also included some money. Once I started having boyfriends there would be gifts of flowers, candy or jewelry. When I had children I stated getting them the lil red boxes of chocolates along with a card. I also used to make sugar cookies with lots of pink frosting and sprinkles. I loved helping them with their Valentines Day card boxes for school and helping them with their Valentines for their classmates. Having both a daughter and sons the boys never knew how some girls tried to pick "just the right card" for her "secret love". My boys would just look for the candy and throw the rest away.

Nowadays, I just give without expecting anything back and I am never disappointed.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL!!!

Happy Valentines Day!

I did the oddest thing yesterday it was kind of fun.

A co-worker of my husband who has taken a year off for parental leave called me and asked if I was going to town and if I was, could he and his two boys (baby & toddler) tag along.

I told him I was taking my granddaughter to the cast clinic and I could drop him off at the mall and come back.

So there we went car sets and dipper bag.

I asked him if he could look around for a tie clip for my husband he said sure.

So after two hours granddaughter happy with no cast woohoo. I meet up with TJ and his boys.

He took me to the jewelers and sure enough, they had what I wanted so I bought it.

TJ was able to shop for his wife, and I found something for my hubby, and both of us were very pleased with our self.

Of course, TJ was like having one of those personal shoppers. Now I know why people have them.

I do what I usually do and put his gift wrapped with his card on top of the TV.

Its drives him nuts.

My husband and I are picking up our trailer today. That is our real Valentines gift to each other.

No not debt!

Our biggest gift to each other is time to be together.

I really like your idea of chocolates and cards for your kids - don't mind if I use that today, do you? I always help them get stuff or make stuff for others, but my own family is kind of neglected, I guess.

My husband is sooooo hard to buy for. I dread days like Valentine's, Father's Day, his birthday and Christmas. We usually just agree to mutually ignore the gift-giving thing. The personal shopper would be nice, but I wonder if even a professional could find anything for him. Of course, if I could afford a professional shopper, I could probably afford more of the things he'd like.

I actually think my husband is going Home Teaching tonight. His companion set appointments this month - I wonder if they even realized what day it is when they called their families? I'll laugh if they go out tonight and no one is even home.

LisaJo, to hear of your hurt and I know it does hurt. <--- Give him one when he comes home and tell him even a kiss and hug would have been okay. Sometimes we have to clean the cobwebs out and realize it is not how much but what. Men seem to forget sometimes that we are not hard to please, we just want to be remembered... Here is a and some and for you LisaJo.

I'm with you, Lisajo. I'm sorry that your husband made no effort, at least by your last posting. Hopefully he came through. There is no excuse for doing nothing. Even if he didn't have time to make anything, or didn't have the money to spend, he should have told you how special you are, and tried to do something to make you happy.

If you haven't, I suggest you (calmly) talk to him about how that made you feel.

If he is anti-Valentines Day, as many men are, perhaps you guys could set aside your own special day to celebrate your love with no consumerism. (I mention this because my DH is anti Vday, and although he always does something for me, it bugs him that it's just a day for card, candy, and flower companies to make more money.)

Happy Late V Day.... Hope that somehow everyone got a "Happy Day" from a loved one, a friend or even a co-worker. Sometimes we can settle for just a couple of words.... Like those above, I'm easy to please... it was nice to see smiles of the little ones, and have a friend from the other side of the nation send me a "Happy Valentines Day" note. It's just little things that make our day .....but I am sorry that some silly husbands don't realize that. I know that there are some wonderful men out there that realize that the simple things mean a lot to women..... and you lucky women know who you are... lol.

LisaJo~ chin up girl.... I'm sorry..... Love him anyway...in spite of himself
