Valentines Day

Since I'm on a kick here on posting....


What are you doing for Valentines Day? Personally its my birthday, but won't be able to do anything as I am back in school and I will have class that night. Work 8-5 and have class from 6-9:50. So nothing romantic about that. :sad:

But I'll probably do something a different night anyway, which we do anyway. As everything tends to be to expensive and then everything is booked too. Oh well. I loved my birthday as a kid.:laugh:

    In the restaurant biz, we used to call Valentine's Day "amateur night". The joint will be packed, the kitchen will be slammed and the romance pressure will be on. I always move the date to a less crowded one, or I make a lovely dinner at home (actually like to cook, see "restaurant biz" above. . . now that I don't have to do it for a paycheck, I love it)

    Well Valentines Day I am working BUT seeing February 12th is my anniversary (14 years) and my husband has always made a big deal out of our anniversary:love: I get to go to a bed and breakfast for the weekend after Vday:heart: I work in retail and hubby is a police officer with crazy hours and after all the holidays this will be a much needed break. Part of the weekend is a 7 course wine dinner--I am hopeing to be able to kind of stick to my diet. If not I will be doing A LOT of exercises to make up for it:laugh:

    7 course dinner, yumm.

    I never was a big supporter of V-day, mostly because I know how it makes you feel when you are single - and it's my dad's birthday, so we usually celebrate that.
    I'm volunteering as a bartender for a charity event that night. My poor husband will be home alone though :frown: I'll have to have something nice waiting for him for dinner - no 7 courses though.

    I will be at Disney World on Valentine's Day! Maybe my mom can watch our son so my hubby and I can go out to a nice restaurant there!
    Marywilldiet - I agree about not being a big fan of V-day because I know how it feels to be single on that day. My younger sister once got three roses from three different guys that we both worked with and I got nothing! Ugh! She didn't like any of the guys and I liked one of them! Talk about a slap in the face! I'm not bitter or anything. :laugh:

    I will be crying into my checkbook. I just bought my wife something she has been wanting for a long time, a Movado watch. The look on her face when she open's it though, it will be worth it. As for what we will be doing, hopefully the watch earns me some *ahem* affection (if you catch my drift). Not that that's why I bought it but...I AM a guy. :bigsmile:

    Pretending it isn't Valentine's Day.

    Actually, I'll be coming a romantic dinner for my parents, who have been married for 39 years.

    I'll be chilling on my couch with my dog, and probably some Chipotle.

    I always make homemade pizza on Valentines day. My husband and I started dating 2 weeks before Valentines day, so we decided to stay in the first year, and the tradition has stuck since then. I usually wash the pizza down with quite a few beers, but this year, I think I'll stick to rum and diet coke with just one slice of pizza (I'm thinking deep dish this year).

    My chap hates Valentine's Day but I love any excuse to celebrate, so we'll probably compromise by getting a big takeaway - it's a nice treat, without being all 'romantic'.

    We don't do anything for Valentine's Day. It will be like any other Sunday, so I'll probably be hanging out at home with my daughter.

    I have no idea. Probably nothing special. I've never been a fan of holidays that don't really celebrate anything.
