What are you all doing for Valentine's Day?

It falls on a Tuesday this year, so that kinda stinks. We won tickets to see Wicked that following weekend so we could always go to a nice dinner in the city and even though that would be fun, I'm kinda tired of the city/dinner thing. Does anyone else have any other creative/romantic suggestions? Are you going to exchange gifts as well? I would love it it DH got me a puppy, but I dont think he wants to right now since we are in an apartment. I have really been hinting at it and talking about puppies a lot lately! hehe

Gosh, we don't plan ahead for v-day. We'll probably end up going to dinner somewhere or ordering in. It's just another day in my book.

We might celebrate it over the weekend. I get out of work @ 5:30 by the time I get home it will be 6:00. I really don't want to rush around. So, I think we might just watch a movie that night and go out to a romantic Italian dinner the weekend before.

I got Fh tickets to Spamalot for xmas and it;s the weekend after V-day, so we'll go out to dinner beforehand. We decided no gifts, just cards. I hope he sticks to it. Actually I'm knitting him a scarf, but don't tell (shhhh)...

One V_day we ordered in italian and had a picnic in the living room by the fireplace. It was really romantic and a lot of fun.

My FI had our first date on Valentine's day back in 1997, so since it's kind of a special day for us so
we usually do something nice. The usual romantic dinner and all that jazz. But no flowers. The one thing I always tell him is that he is not allowed to buy me over priced flowers. Paying $75 for a dozen roses that you can get for $10 any other time of the year is just crazy. Buy me a sweater instead!

Re: What are you all doing for Valentine's Day?

I am ta-ing a class that meets until 9:40 which brings me home around 10:40 at the earliest sooo probably nothing but relaxing with DH when I get home, we usually celebrate it on a different day to avoid the craziness!!

Re: What are you all doing for Valentine's Day?

Most likely DH will cook for me my favorite I have no desire to go out to dinner for V-Day and celebrate w/ like a zillion other couples.........everything seems so scheduled and routine--they try to get you in then out ASAP to fill their reservations.

I hate to be rushed! This is a day I would love nothing more than to be in my own home w/ just hubbie and me.
