I just got him a box of chocolate covered cherries.
We are going simple this year. I got him a cute Valentine’s sugar cookie that says Be Mine.
A DVD version of “XXX”, a box of candy, and some silly stuff to throw in a gift bag.
I guess this is a hijack, but I’m a little pissed about the candy. I went to the first candy store, and their Valentine boxes started at $24.00. So I went to the next candy store, just for a little comparison. The same size boxes they were selling at Chrismas for $12.00, were now $25.00! I bought the candy, but it seems like there is a little price gouging going on. I was going to pick up a rose tomorrow. I’ll prepare for $20.00 each. Or maybe a dozen will be on sale for $100.00.
I’m going to make him some cranberry-and-white-chocolate cookies (so good you could take over the world with them) and I got a sexy nightgown. Not for him, for me. Or should I say, not for me, for him? I’ll wear it, he’ll enjoy it. Plus I picked one I won’t feel silly wearing.
I got ! my v-day gift already. It’s an engagement ring <giggle>. But I put it away in its little box until tomorrow.
An E-card today and a Conair massager for later, mutual use.
I got him a limited-edition CD from one of his favorite bands, a gigantic U2 poster, and I got a ring I gave him engraved. I’m glad he left it here accidently last time he visited (we’re long distance). He’ll get it when he visits again (unfortunately, that won’t be this weekend.)
(1) We usually keep a buttload of fine chocolates in the house (insert gross joke here), so adding more would be pretty redundant.
(2) Cash flow is a bit tight at the moment, and being the sensible people that we are, we both know it would be stupid to blow a lot of cash on trinkets for a non-personal holiday (as opposed to an anniversary).
(3) We’re having houseguests tomorrow night – musicians – and we’re going to see their performance and bringing them back here to spend the night, so there ain’t gonna be any torrid passion going on at Casa Scarlett. (Despite #1, we did get a heart-shaped box of chocolates for our guests’ pillow, in honor of the day.)
(4) He’s essentially unemployed at the moment; isn’t the fact that I’ve been paying all the bills enough??
(5) We’re one of those disgustingly smarmy lovey-dovey couples – EVERY day is Valentine’s Day here. <gag>
In light of these facts, I got Mr. S a Hallmark card, wrote a silly note in it, and hid it in the breadbox. He eats toast and jam about six times a day, so he should find it shortly after he gets home (in about an hour).
He may bring me some silly token, but I don’t mind if he doesn’t (see #5). He brings me breakfast to my desk every day, buses the plate when I’m done, does the dishes and the laundry and most of the cooking, runs my errands, fixes the house . . . I think I’m all set. (Lady Dopers, envy me!)
Mrs. Blue Sky is getting a card and tickets to Lost in the Fifties, a musical she’s been wanting to see. Her birthday (the big 4-0) is next Saturday so I made the reservations for the matinee and then we’ll go to dinner. Afterwards, I’ll give her a tennis bracelet.
A bottle of perfume and a pair of Birkenstocks.
A Heavenly Ham, peas and rice, and white cake with white icing (yum slurp), sandwiched in between a rather busy weekend work schedule. He already got a box of Russell Stover chocolates and a card last week. Kind of a lead-in, ya know?
I wrote my girlfriend a short romantic story. I would write a love poem, except I’m a terrible poet.
I’m a terrible poet too, but I didn’t let that stop me …
I got the man a card, and I’m going to make a chicken dinner tonight. I have a mini heart shaped cake tin somewhere in the back of a drawer, so I might make a chocolate cake as well. Tomorrow I think we’ll go for a nice walk in a forest or up a fell, if it’s fine. He’ll want to get out of the house in order to try to pretend that Arsenal aren’t playing…
I wrote my Fiance’ a story a few years back. I wrote it as a metaphor for how our relationship began. It was quite nice.
I have two very nice 2" T-bone steaks marinating in the fridge right now. I’ll be making twice baked potatoes, and a nice green salad. I have some chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert and a nice bottle of Merlot. Afterwards, a little hot tub time while sipping on some champagne. After that…
The bf and I agreed on the no giving stuff for Valentine’s. All I want is him. Waking up the next morning and feeling those big arms around me is a gift I never get tired of.
My heart and soul and all the love I have to give.
I got the man a picture frame and a card. Also I am letting him work in the garage all night tonight.
Sounds mean, huh?
It’s my daughters 6th birthday and she will have giggley friends over. I wish someone would let ME work out in the garage all night.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
Well, after I pick her up from the Bus station (isn’t she sweet! 500 km’s just for me!) I am going to take her home and draw her a bath (bubbles, beads, oils… you know, chick stuff…) then while she is getting the 5 hour bus smell off, I will be cooking her dinner (Fettuccini Alfredo, a mandarin Orange salad and I think I can rustle up some wine for tonight on my way home from work…) Then I have rented Casablanca and Serendipity (John Cusack is he favorite actor…)
OK so I am a big suck… but it will all be worth it when we get to the part with the Belgian chocolate body paint!
Valentine’s day is over already where I am. I got my husband a kung fu hamster that dances and does kung fu moves. Tomorrow I am going forth to get him a heat gun, bescause I was unable to go earlier. He got me roses, chocolates, desk organizers, and several computer games for us to play because he is computer game obsessed.
