Valentines Day

22 years ago

What are you going to do for your spouse?

We decided to not get candy and flowers for each other but may try and spend some alone time together. I was thnking of buying some pretty stationary, scent it and then hand write a love letter or peom to him.

How about you? What are you going to do?

I wrote him a letter and stuck it in the mail... I just put a heart instead of a return address (you know, so he can wonder for a moment LOL!) Last year was a big, funny fiasco for us, so we will probably just spend the evening together AT HOME. DH and I had been dating for four years, but had never been together for Valentine's Day (he worked out of state a lot). So last year we planned on spending a nice romantic night together, going out to a nice place for dinner. Well, neither of us ever even thought about making reservations for dinner on Valentine's Day (duh!) So we drove around for like three hours trying to find any place that didn't have a line out the door... no luck. At this point I was STARVING and did not want to go all the way home and cook. We drove by a Hooter's and I said "I bet they're not full, and I want a burger NOW!" LOL, the place was empty, and I devoured the burger. I told DH he better appreciate a wife who will take him to Hooter's on V Day. LOL!

Thanks, Mausie, good idea. (Not the Hooters part! LOL) Think I'll mail DH a semi-naughty little letter to work!

Don't celebrate - used to, some, when the kids were young. Don't remember whether I did for them after we parted, when they were 9 and 6, probably something to reassure them that Dad still loved them. Just dug out the fourth last chocolate mound, one of the box of cookies that my neighbours gave me for Christmas, cut it into about six thin slices that I've been enjoying while reading your stories. What's that? It isn't Val Day yet? Oh, well - that chocolate (those slices) sure tasted good! Think I may be able to leave at least one alone till next Thursday? ole joyful

Well SO has thrown a wrench into my food plans. First, upon waking he declared himself too hungry to wait for me to cook breakfast, and asked me just to heat him up some leftovers. So there went my plan for that. He had chicken tacos. Not heart shaped. 😔 But I served it on a heart shaped plate,so I felt better about it. Then, he asked me to make him some fish that I bought for SOME OTHER DAY, not Valentines day,so i made it with some rice. He usually only eats 2 meals a day so not sure my plan for the heart shaped pizzas will happen. Well, it will happen for me, as I do not eat fish so I will make myself a heart shaped pizza later. I'll make him a smaller one in case he wants a snack later or something....

Rose Lai - incredible! I got myself a Windermere because it smells similar to Jude and Jude would not grow in my garden. I was tempted to get another Jude (grafted) and several others, but who am I kidding? I have no more room.

We have decided just to buy cards for one another. I may fix a special meal for my DH.

I bought a really nice card for DH and will cook him his favorite meal, beef stroganoff and scalloped potatos. Last year we tried to do the whole nice dinner thing and we ended up at McDonald's because we didn't make reservations.

I don't want dinner!!! I don't want roses or candy. I've already bought some wine, incense, wonderful smelling body oil. We're married - I'm going to get my money's worth out of this marriage license!!! Ordered some satin sheets - hope they get here on time or we'll have to do it all over again next week when they arrive!!!

With the help of some posters on the Recipe Exchange, I'm going to (try to) surprise DH with a copy of a dinner we had on vacation one year that we both really enjoyed.
