I've not got much planned. Maybe fitting in a bit of bedroom Olympics at some point ;o) Dinner will be Half Aromatic Crispy Duck Other than that we'll just have to see what the day brings
nothing. Valentine's day is a sadistic waste of time and money to make the person who sez they love you PROVE they love you by buying some piece of sentimental crap and a card that you'll only save for a few days and then throw away. anyway... i'm probably doing nothing for Valentine's day, unless i get a better offer lol
we're saying eff you to months early reservations, set menus, & hiked prices and going for lunch with our girls some other day to a fondue place. it will cost for the 4 of us about 1/2 of the cost for a couple on valentine's day :D
We'll just be having our usual Saturday night in with steaks and a nice bottle of red on the menu - we don't bother with cards or gifts, we do romantic things when we feel like it not on set days.
Well, i have a box of games/fun stuff (including snacks and somewhat racy things)... and i'm putting Italian stew (that we both like) in the crockpot early on in the day so I don't have to spend a long time making dinner and we can just hang out together. I'm also making this AMAZING cheese-bread that a friend of mine made (and gave me the recipe for).
The general plan for the day is for us to hang out and watch movies/tv shows and cuddle and make-love and enjoy each other's company! *sqee* We also will be avoiding the phone and most computer use. ;-)
My mom is visiting this weekend yay! I want to find a nice place for us to go to dinner I think...I am so glad she is coming so I don't have to worry about stupid George who doesn't care about me.
At church half the day and going to a cat show, hopefully, the other half. So I'll be spending time with the ultimate Valentines. Jesus and my Daddy. :)
Otherwise I'd be at home brooding and refusing to go out because of all the disgusting lovey dovey folks and then I'd sit and pout because I want that lovey dovey crap, but at the same time, I don't want it.
Gram is taking the girls for a few hours, I am making Venus clams for dinner (provided they are in stock) and then plan on having extremely raunchy and physically challenging sex to the point where I have bruises on my thighs. It is the magic of Cialis. While he has no issues GETTing it up, that damn pill will make the magic happen four of five times in an hour, and I get two!
The cliche dinner and a movie, but since I've only had that maybe twice in my life it's very welcome. :) I'm also going to make a two layer white cake with banana pudding between the layers covered in strawberry icing. Hopefully the recipes for the cake and icing will be good since I've not tried either before. :D
Same crazy Saturday schedule with my class and Sophie's class but we will definitely find something fun to do with the kids. I was thinking we could make chocolate covered strawberries as our Valentine treat. Mmmm!
I just found out Brad will be home for it and not traveling! :) Because it's generally so crowded out at restaurants, Brad and I tend to stay in. Make a nice dinner together and have a little gift for each other. Last year I came home from work to find that he had fixed the dining room up for me (we had just moved at that point and hadn't gotten there yet) and had a nice candlelight dinner waiting for me in the dining room. Nothing major, just really nice and thoughtful :)
I honestly don't know. I used to have to do all the planning with my ex(read: if I wanted a special evening, I had to find a sitter, make a nice dinner, etc etc etc). I've learned to be low key and have low expectations. I got Kent a goofy gift and will be making him a card.
He informed me last night that it is good that I have to work tonight, because he has several phone calls to make and shopping that needs to be done.
He is Planning Something (tm), it seems.
No one has ever done this for me before. I know V-Day is crass and commercial and blah blah blah, but it means a lot to me that he wants to make the day special for me.
A meal of some kind (like we wouldn't have one anyway lol) and a gift. Usually we don't do the gift part, but Linda actually asked for one with batty eyelashes and baby voice... so what the hell could I do but buy one?!?!?
We're going to Seattle for the weekend. (its about a 3 hour drive from Portland). Staying in a fancy hotel, going out to dinner. and then who knows?? ;>
My co-worker and cubicle mate just came back from a holiday in the Virgin Islands and bought me a drink recipe book. So I'm thinking I might buy some liquor and make some 'Passionate Screw' and 'Sex on the Beach' beverages while taking in a movie or something. =)
In reality I'll probably be running errands for most of the day, but I can dream.
I don't celebrate Valentines day...I'm actually a really cheap girlfriend lol I don't celebrate much...except anniversaries. If I get flowers from a man I want it to be because he was in the line at the grocery store and thought of me, or because he knows I had a bad day and wants to cheer me up...not because the rest of the world expects him to. There are other reasons too lol...:D
