  We usually go out, but we have my stepdaughters this year so we'll either stay in or go out to dinner with them.

  We usually don't celebrate. Last year R surprised me with flowers sent to my work. I would really love to get them again, if I work on V-Day this year.

  I don't think I have a romantic bone in my body. "Romantic" stuff just makes me awkward and uncomfortable. We don't do anything for valentine's day.

  In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

  Yes- but we are actually going to see Alton Brown. I got H tickets for Christmas, and it happens to be on the 14 th, so we will kind of be celebrating Christmas instead of valentine's day.

  Not sure if we're doing anything, we haven't talked about it yet.  There's a possibility I'll be working.  Also, it's on a Friday, and we usually have a game night with friends on Fridays... we're all coupled though so we might move it to another night.

  Thanks to you I just got tickets too!!! So glad there were still tickets left! I told DH not to make any plans. He said he already made dinner reservations. I told him to cancel lol.  Thanks for the awesome idea!  It's about an hour and a half away... where should we go to eat???

  I said yes but only because we know we'll probably go out to dinner and exchange small presents. We don't have reservations yet so the plans aren't firm but there's something there anyway.

  We don't celebrate valentines day. He would if I wanted to but I call shenanigans on the whole made up holiday. I feel like some fat old biddy who's husband stopped paying attention to her made up a holiday to get gifts. That's just my own personal feeling though. Oh and it's a week before my birthday and it always f's up any plans for going to a restaurant cause everyone and their mother is out and/or they have wet menus that are outrageously priced.

  We don't really celebrate. We make a nice dinner at home (ie, DH makes a nice dinner), we exchange sappy cards, and for the last 3 years he's bought me a different colored gold rose from "our" jeweler. No way we'd be trying to go out to eat that weekend; it'll be waaaaay too insane.
