Poor guy, getting him all worked up and confused.

We spent the day going to Home Depot and lunch with his mother for his b-day and Daytona 500. All in all it was a good day.

Did you watch the race? What a race! For Jamie McMurry to win was awesome and for Dale to go from 10th to 2nd in one lap was the bomb!

I guess I’ll have to vote against the group on this one. I’m usually this very practical person, but I really love this day. I don’t need much, but chocolates are definitely in the right direction. And it seems there are so many things that can be done that don’t have to cost too much. Of course I also agree with others here that love can and should be shared on more than just one day a year. My husband downloaded into my itunes account a folder that said “for my valentine” and filled it with music by Beethoven (I’m obsessed about him right now). I thought that was about the sweetest thing ever because it showed to me that he knows me and cares. L’amore!

Last year, money was the issue. This year, we had my fiance’s daughter until around 7 o’clock so we spent most of it with her…and that was fine. It was fun! We had some romantic time that night but by the time we’d dropped her off, we were EXHAUSTED! The last thing I wanted was a fancy dinner.

Sometimes the best Valentine’s Days are the ones where you don’t have as much money…then you have to use your imagination.

I have bucked against this holiday for at least 15 years now. I don’t want one day for us to show the other that we love them. That’s something that should happen the other 364 days of the year. I will not allow Bill to buy me anything for any occasion. And flowers, forget it! He’s been threatened with divorce if he buys me flowers! LOL And he knows I’m dead serious. But it did take some convincing, because like Jer, he just didn’t believe me. Not because I had anything to do with it, but because of the commercialism of the holidays shoving down his throat that he HAS to do something to show his love 1 day a year. Yeah, me and “Hallmark Holidays” don’t get along. 😉 It’s nice to see others who feel the same way, too!

That is SWEET and very smart too. 🙂

I think they says a lot about both of you.

Our second Valentine’s together wasn’t a huge ordeal. I did wrangle a free hotel room but we just had grocery store sausage and crackers with red wine watching the Olympics. Awww. 🙂

That is too cute that you hubby was in a sweat over it…you should have tricked him on Valentines for like 30 seconds, no I don’t think the poor guy couldn’ve taken it! I love this story!

We gave up on the gifts long ago too although Rich usually comes home with flowers for me and the kids.

Which totally irritates me because why buy flower on the most expensive day of the year? Buy them on a random Tuesday and surprise me for Pete’s sake.

I am an ungrateful wretch.

Poor Jer, he was scared he was gonna get in big trouble. I dont have a sweetie but my mom gave me a lovely pot of tulips. I would rather have flowers, they dont need to be fancy. If I get chocolate I will snork up the whole thing in one setting anyway. Will we be hearing about your girls weekend?

I’m honestly not a big fan of Valentine’s Day. I don’t know why. BUT, that being said, I got hubby the biggest bag of peanut m&m’s I could find, and he got me a planted tulip and some candy bars. The boys both got stuffed animals. We’re all happy, and not much money was spent. 🙂
