We don't either. I suppose I am a party property, but Saint Valentine was martyred for pity's sake. Why am I supposed to get gifts for that?
Made up for Victorian commercialism in my opinion.0 -

Yep! We call Valentine's Day the Hallmark-created holiday. We're not doing much. Going out to dinner, but we do that every Tuesday anyway. I did book his-and-hers 90 minute massages on Monday, which is Presidents' Day here in the states so we have it off. I told him that was both of our Valentine's gifts. Good enough for us.4 -
But, since I
you all, here's my Valentine to you.

According to the trivia thing I get in my email, Cadbury was the first to market chocolate gifts in honor of St. Valentine, so yes, made up for Victorian commercialism. (which won't stop me buying clearance sale chocolate tomorrow.)4 -

Bahahaha good for you!
Edit to say I didn't know about Cadbury's, but that was when they first started Valentine's Day cards in a printing press and mass produced them.1 -

The gym I train at is sponsoring me. It basically means I got a t-shirt and my entry fee covered, but still!
This is sooo exciting! Congrats!0 -
Yah we don't do a bunch for Valentine's (Martin is a business and marketing major.... needless to say the rants are insane lol), however we are going to Sushi because sushi is awesome and it gives me a reason to dress up heh.
Valentine's Day Trivia: Nearly 6 million people get engaged or proposed to today. This got broadcasted on the radio this morning, which turned into a giant rant on how diamonds and engagement rings are pure and utter BS because it is essentially a giant marketing campaign that took over society somehow1 -
OH yesterday was a day off for us in BC, so Martin and I went to goga (yoga with goats).

We do however have two Valentines cards on the mantelpiece. One is from the one year old, handmade no less (it's a work of art and not at all a bit CSI), and one is from the dog's trust dog I sponsor who I think is probably an imaginary dog but it's a good charity so I'll keep sponsoring him. 2 cards is the best we've ever managed so we're pretending that's us sorted.
I knew I loved you guys for a reason! I've never bought into the valentines hype / commercialism and am always considered a grinch about it. A totally manufactured event by card makers in the slump between Christmas and easter4 -

This must be why they love you so much! Haha . Serious note, I've always admired ethical/moralist vegans- it takes a loving person to make their life comparatively more complicated to protect the dignity of others. 3 -

Oh. Em. Gee!!! I've read about this! Is it as awesome as it sounds?0 -
I somehow razor-burned my armpit (only one of them, mind you). I put deodorant on after yoga, and it burns like a freaking kitten.
I think I should get to go home.0 -
How fun! I'm not sure I could hold a plank with a goat on m back.MissKalhan wrote: »OH yesterday was a day off for us in BC, so Martin and I went to goga (yoga with goats).
What did the hooves feel like?0 -

I had a massive rant today about razor companies are missing a decent sized untapped market (chicks who lift etc) because shaving SUCKS! I always miss stupid little hairs >=/2 -

It was a blast! Goats are hilarious, especially when they're babies. Talk about trouble makers, the little white one on my back kept trying to eat my yoga mat lol.
As for the hooves, they didn't hurt. I think the baby was 15-25 lbs.0 -

Geeez Tesco went all out this year! As soon as you walked in the door there was a missive stand of flowers, behind that a massive stand of cards and then everywhere was just teddies, chocolates and pointless tat. I couldn't even buy sane food in the meal deal, it was all dyed pink with love hearts on. I opted for tacos instead. I did buy some pink fondant fancies though because they were half price and they are fondant fancies.0 -
Fondant fancies... Yum. The kettle corn lady had a fundraiser for our hospital volunteers and I bought a bag of cinnamon and a bag of caramel for my family. There are a lot worse snacks and my kids love kettle corn.0

There is a magical cook time between delicious oatmeal and disgusting, slimy, weird textured oatmeal. I crossed that line this morning.
My luck with food the last couple day has been bad. Dropped my lunch on the floor at work yesterday...0
