Nothing. I bought DH a card, sent grandkids cards and cash. DH is terrible at anything romantic or gift related. I love him, anyway, lol.

My husband and I both have volunteer activities that night, so we celebrated on Friday with Indian food and binge-watching "The Detour" and...some other stuff.
I did tell him I would like to get tulips for V Day, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

DH is working out of town. I'm working during the day and am then going to a church council meeting that evening.... such romantics we are... On the plus side, I mailed festive Valentine's packages to our college DD and to our out-of-state DD/SIL!

Not sure. It is our son's 35th birthday...so we are going to dinner tonight to celebrate it, cause he will have other plans tomorrow. Probably something low key. Of course I still bought all my kids chocolate...

I am having a few hours out with some girlfriends during the day tomorrow. DD is in a show all week which I'm normally backstage doing the sound for but this year I've got too much work & study on my plate to give up every night for it, dh however is up in the gods doing set for it so they will be together!
DS is with his girlfriend at her uni, (attending a taster lecture tomorrow morning because it will hopefully be HIS uni too next year).
DH is only working half days this week due to the show hours so he's bought a valentine's meal deal for us to have on Wednesday.
I've bought DS' girlfriend a present (slippers to live here so that she doesn't keep having to borrow mine!), hair styling stuff for DD, & beer, Oreos & cereal (don't ask!) for DH so I'm good I think.
It's the last year either one of our kids will be in this show after 8 or 9 years & it pretty much always falls around Valentine's so maybe next year will be different!

I love Valentine's day and while I prefer to make cards and gifts, I just didn't have the energy this year. I did send cards to my parents, brother (with lottery scratchers inside)and to a good friend. Sent a package (cute socks, reusable shopping bag with their pic on it, candy for her, Chewbacca slippers and candy for him)to dd1 and SIL who live out of state.
I bought a few little things (nightgown, wedding planner, candy) for dd2 who lives at home, planning to bake her fiancé some peanut butter cup cookies(his favorite) and made this "man bouquet" for my dh. He eats low carb, so I included beef jerky, nuts, sugar free peppermints and lottery scratchers.
Oh and we bought a shirt for our dog. He loves wearing clothes! lol
My dh has a medical procedure planned for bright and early in the morning, so no Valentine celebrating other than my little gift. I'll probably order take out and enjoy the quiet while he sleeps..lol.

We did something unique to us this year. We were talked into doing a group date night to a burlesque show over the weekend. We both actually enjoyed it a lot.
I got DH a man crate (peas idea and recommendation) and he got it yesterday. It was a huge hit and he loved it! He was completely surprised which was a big score for me.
I plan to order out and rent a movie for after work tomorrow night with some much needed snuggle time.
Today is my birthday, so DH combined gifts this year and got me an awesome kayak that I've been wanting. He found the perfect tie die color also! I'm so excited to put this baby in the river!

My entire family will be at my FIL's funeral, all except me because I do NOT attend funerals. It seems an odd day to choose for a funeral but that is besides the fact. My kids said they will forever remember Valentine's as the day they buried their Grandpa.

I have no idea. Valentines Day and my birthday are the days he prides himself on planning. I've been told to be ready by noon, our first stop is 1pm and he'll have clothes out for me in the morning.

well I have the day off.. .. but I'm single sooo my plans include laundry, really really need to vacuum, need to make an appt to do my taxes, need to make the dog a groom appt and need to get him to the vet for his bordatella shot too... I have a ham in the fridge that needs cooked, so going to do that---but has NOTHING to do with Valentines day, was going to cook it last week but then worked all week.. likely won't get anything from any of the kids,but thats ok.. I may get some cupcakes, or make some brownies or cookies for ds and I to have with our ham dinner..

We have a birthday, VD, and our anniversary all in about a week. It has never been a big deal. I always request that we eat out or that I don't cook. Chinese sounds good.

Unintentionally (I think), we are going on a "date" to see Lego Batman. (Tuesday is discount movie day, and I am not sure whether SO realized it was Valentine's Day when he suggested we go-- by mutual agreement we typically don't observe Valentine's or Sweetest Days.) But we are going to see that and then we will go grab something at Chili's after for dinner.

I'm sorry your family has a funeral to attend marimoose - it does seem like a day most people would avoid. We usually do a family dinner for Valentine's Day and because the kids missed our NYE steak & crab dinner, I'm going to make steak & lobster tomorrow with roasted vegetables and chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert. DH will bring me flowers.

Oh, so romantic: our dryer died so my husband and I are buying a new one. Don't be jealous. I love my new drier! We are past the dating part and I am getting to know him rather intimately. I like how he runs, how quiet he is. He doesn't eat socks. He is a good boyfriend substitute.

We are having prime rib and something.
I have been trying for 4 months to buy DS something for his birthday and then graduation. I suggest. He says "no don't" I am kind of giving up for now. Maybe if he needs something he will tell me? Maybe I should be classy and just give him money. I really wanted to get him some high end tools for repairing cars. He bought all the ones he needs himself. There aren't *any* other ones you need? Any?
My dad's birthday is at the end of the month so I am getting him a good bottle of cognac. That was what he asked for so I will just run with it.

We've been flooding since friday. So, if by chance the water level goes down, we'll be sucking up water the pump doesn't get, then figuring out what is a loss and what isnt. If it's still flooding, we'll be manning the water pump.
We were going to celebrate on saturday, but, flooding.

Single girl here. Val and tiny' s (the made up couple in my tale of love) day will involve work. And perhaps a text from my mom. Who texts me every morning to have a good day anyway. lol

I'm at a conference and this year my husband didn't come with me, so I'll be shopping and having dinner somewhere after the last session of the day while he's at home fending for himself. I do have a four-day weekend after long days on Wednesday and Thursday, so we will do something this weekend.

I think part of our "plan" had been changed to include fixing the water heater.

We generally don't do anything special. This year will be the same. DH has been receiving daily IV antibiotics for a toe infection so he isn't feeling well. His birthday is Thursday and he's having surgery to remove the toe. Fun times for him...Not! danalz- What a week for your DH! Hope the surgery and recovery goes well!

I'm not proud of how I feel, but I'm really hurt and pissed by this.
My my birthday is V-Day and this one is a really big one, an even number one. A big milestone.
I told old everyone I ages ago I wanted a fuss made, I wanted to be spoilt. And just left it to them to plan something. And nothing, nada, not a thing.
I always ay send up feeling unloved, not valued, and just wanted a fuss this time without me doing all the arranging and buying.
Oh well.

My son was just involved in an elaborate 21st birthday party in a different city that scared the sh!t out of the guy. His girlfriend arranged for all his friends near and far to be there. He was shaken up. theshyone I wouldn't count them out yet. I wish I had known earlier because we could have done something in here. At least you know you are loved and valued by all of us.

I'm the surrogate parent at my grandsons' preschool Valentine party, as their parents are both working. Thats pretty much the extent of my frivolity for the day.
