me and my hubby want to go see i am legend at the theatre, so i think v day would be a great day to do it.. gets the kids sat and we can go will be great .
Ohhhhhh be careful!!! Everyone in my family says this movie is a MAJOR downer--- don't go if it will kill your romantic mood for the evening!!!!
Even my macho 28 year old brother said he was upset when it was over!!!
As for us--- for our wedding we were given a nice gift certificate for a bed and breakfast package near town---- So we're going for a 5 course meal, lodging, and a country breakfast... we head over there this Sunday and missing work on Monday-- doing V-day a little early, but that's okay since he works two jobs and I won't really get to see him that day (weekday) anyhow.
I know! Bad food! Watch out Jen!! But, I figure that I have been SOOOOO good and lost 3.2 pounds this week even WITH going to a superbowl party last week.... that I am okay to splurge for our special weekend (we don't spend a ton of money on ourselves b/c we are saving to buy a house next year) and I will eat what looks appealing, then go RIGHT back on plan and hopefully won't gain (might not lose) when I weigh in next wednesday.

My husband and I have probably been out twice since we had kids 8 years ago -- our local library is offering babysitting so parents can go out -- I'm looking for a good idea too -- movie sounds good -- if I don't get that nasty, fat laden popcorn!!
We don't plan anything special for Valentine's Day. We do like to get one another a little something though. I showed him a bra/panty set I would like, so I'm pretty sure he's getting that for me. I'll be getting him some sexy boxers.
Last year, I worked until 7PM so DH made me a lovely dinner...grilled steaks, salad, tiramisu. I have to work late again this year, so we will probably do the same thing. Had candles on a card table in front of our fireplace. Since I'm on South Beach this year, I think I'll make the Mocha Ricotta Creme-tastes a lot like tiramisu. He always gets flowers for all my kids & me. I usuallly get him something chocolate! Maybe some dark chocolate this year.
As far as I know ..........nothing.............. I keep hinting to hubby, but he just don't get it, bless his heart, he's a dingaling.. my hubby has NO romantic bone in his body, I have to tell him what I want.lol, well he usually just asks, "what do want for v~day?" I should have been the man and him the woman, because I usually end up doing something for him!!
My office is doing a wine and chocolate tasting party afterwork. We're going to a resturant and the Onophile (a wine expert) is going to talk to us about pairing certain wines with different kinds of chocolate. It should be tons of fun. Then my bf and I are meeting my folks for a really nice dinner. My mom's bday is vday. So, my bf and I are going to celebrate on the 15th. We're going to make fondue and watch cheesy romantic movies.
i have no idea. this is the first year my boyfriend and i will be together for valentine's day. he hasn't even mentioned it to me once. so either he is planning something, or is going to let it pass and not do a thing.
I will spend most of the day on Valentines taking my 15 yr. old DD to her pediatric gastroenterologist. If we get home in time that night, the karaoke club we go to is having its annual anti-valentines bash. The woman that writes the best poem about her EX wins $50 and the man that writes the best poem about his EX wins a blow-up doll. Hoping we can make it to the party cause if DH doesn't start helping more with painting the house, he's gonna need that doll. LOL.
Today I bought the stuff and made gift bags for our two 15 yr. old girls for Valentines. The girls did tell me tonite that DH was taking them shopping to pick me out something for VD.
I don't know what we will be doing because dbf is in NC for work and I am in WV. So there's not a whole lot to do except homework I figure He has it pretty easy because I LOVE stuffed animals.
I remember though our first VD together we had been with each other for 4 months. I had gotten really sick the day before and he was scared b/c I had to go to the emergency room and it was a whole ordeal, but once I was out of the hospital he took me to lunch and then we ended up walking around Petco. Well I decided I wanted a puppy, shes a collie sheltie mix; he hemmed and hawed a little bit, but once she licked him he was hooked. Anyways he kept her at his apartment and on VD I went over b/c he was cooking dinner for me and I get there to find this huge stuffed puppy that actually looks like our new puppy. It was too funny b/c he's trying to cook and our puppy was attacking my stuffed puppy (I think she thought it was real, she was dingy sometimes). That night was so much fun!
will be great .
