Valentine's Day?

February always sneaks up on me, but now that it's right around the corner, I figured I would see what you ladies have in store for Valentines Day.  Anyone doing anything special?  Exchanging gifts?  Etc.

Re: Valentine's Day?

  • We're totally slack on v-day. We've gone out for dinner, exchanged cards... But other than that, we don't do much! Sorry that's no help!
  • Our tradition is to stay in and cook this lasagna.  I see this year going the same way. 

    Tim and Derek bought Shannon and I tickets to see some show in Toronto for Valentine's too, and we're doing that Feb 18th, so I guess there's that!  I think Derek and I might stay in a fancy hotel in Toronto the night before too, as our last little get away before Chewy arrives.

    This is usually what we do as well, however this year it may not happen. DH has to work on V-day.  So maybe a sitter the weekend before, or we will just kind of avoid it, have some extra "yoga" before he goes to work. Wink

  • We went out to dinner last year to a restaurant called Wildfire that runs a  four course Valentine's Day special and enjoyed it so much, we are doing it again this year.  Here is the menu. There are some in the Chicago area.

  • Right now we'll be lucky to not still hate each other. We'll probably try to do dinner out one night, but not on the actual day. I hate fighting the crowds. I'll get him a card and some candy maybe. We're not big on it.

  • We usually go out or something, but I have to work until at least 8 so we will most likely exchange gifts. C is a romantic and loves Valentines Day.  I had to curb his flower buying awhile back because it was costing us so much. I love that man.

    Reba, I love Wildfire.  I actually had my bridal shower there.  Also, that's a great deal for Valentine's day.

    We're not usually big on doing much for V Day, and in the past few years, it has fallen over President's Day weekend, when we are usually in Vegas with my family.  I think this is the first year since we first started dating that we are actually going to be in town.

  • I think we're going to prepare a meal ourselves on Valentine's Day rather than fight the crowds at restaurants then go see The Vow since I'm a sucker for Nicholas Sparks.

  • No surprises here, Russ is at work for V-day again this year.  I bought him a Google Tablet and am waiting for that to come in. We never get each other gifts, usually just a card  and that's about it.

  • We probably won't do anything really special, but one thing I'm looking forward to is announcing the pregnancy. I will be exactly 12 weeks on V-Day, so I thought it would be perfect timing. We're doing a little photo shoot next weekend with a friend with a little Valentine's onesie and all that jazz.

  • We order pastrami pizza, pick up some Starbucks frapps and watching a movie at home. On our first date we went out for pastrami pizza and then to Starbucks afterwards so we did that on our first V day as a couple and have continued the tradition since. I really despise going out to eat that day as it's crowded everywhere so this works for us. We also don't exchange gifts other than chocolates and a card.

  • We rarely do anything. This year i'll get to wake up next to him in a hotel in Alaska! Then off to breakfast and then I fly home to start my new job the next day.

  • The past few years we usually go to whole foods buy some steak or fish and cook together.

    This year I bought tickets to Avenue Q. We saw it in DC and laughed so much. I hope this smaller version for Atlanta will be good.

    Fun!  We LOVE Avenue Q and have seen it twice.  Once on Broadway and once in Toronto.

  • We'll probably stay in and make a nice dinner. V also usually goes to my favourite chocolate shop the day after to get me some chocolates. We like to wait until after the holiday so we can get twice as much... LOL how romantic Wink
