Valentine's plans?

What are you guys doing for Valentine's if anything?

 

 

 

MIL is babysitting and H and I are going out for dinner somewhere to be determined (I feel like having Vietnamese or Lebanese). We met 14 years ago today! 

Re: Valentine's plans?

  • Aww, that's sweet! Sounds like fun (:

    My parents are going to be visiting us, actually, so FI and I are going out to dinner with them. It will be nice to see them, especially because I've been a little homesick recently.

  • I'm going to make a batch of Rice Krispie treats and eat some of the Reese's PB mini cups. Watch Love Actually maybe. All while I do my homework I guess. :)

  • Congrats Azure! i am curious if you and H went out on Valentine's day the night after you met?! ;-)

    My H is actually working down in Portsmouth this week, so we cooked a romantic Vday meal together last night as he will be gone. A good friend of mine just emailed me though and told me she made me cupcakes and will be bringing them to me tomorrow since I am craving chocolate and ice cream now, so that's exciting (and extremely sweet of her)!

  • DH is in Columbia until Sunday so I'm on my own. But Alli has inspired me, I think I'll make the PB chocolate truffles recipe I've been eying on Pinterest.

    Thanks! We didn't go out on Valentine's, I had friends visiting me and we went out to a club. We didn't start "dating" until a month or so later.

  • Hoping the country doesn't go so batshiite that the kids and I get sent home early. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the "day of rage". But pending things don't get too bad, we'll go out on the weekend. DH says he wants to take me to a Lebanese restaurant we've been eyeing.

    Tomorrow won't be very romantic. We both work, still have to do the routine with the kids, and our housekeeper is actually cooking. Baked penne in tomato sauce with grilled eggplant, squash, carrot, smoked turkey sausage, and topped with a bunch of cheese.

  • I found heart-shaped pasta at Lidl today so I'll be making that for dinner. Other than that, nothing. Life is so slow that I got excited over 99 cent heart shaped pasta. Oh boy. 

  • We don't have big plans.  DH is working from home tomorrow, so I assume he might pick me up flowers and make a nice dinner.

    We don't exchange gifts, but cards and we'll go out later in the month to celebrate.  I don't like to go out on Valentine's day because I always feel like it is rushed with so many people out. 

  • We don't really celebrate the day too much. DH and I exchanged cards and said Happy Valentines Day to each other, but I'm spending the day at my Spinning club (that is wool spinning, not bike spinning) and then tonight I'm going with a friend to hear a former local author speak.

  • So far this morning, our little island has not imploded on itself, but just in case, we had planned to stay in and have some friends over tonight for steaks, baked potatoes and salad. I'm making some cookies and cheesecake for dessert. If for some reason our friends can't make it, we'll be heading to our little restaurant on our compound - the price is reasonable, the menu sounds delicious and it's only a 2 minute walk :)

  • H is flying back from Singapore this evening and we're meeting at a Thai restaurant.
  • DH has to work late tonight, but he got me an ice cream maker over the weekend, and this coming weekend we are heading out for a long weekend to attend a wedding.  We're celebrating Valentine's Day with a romantic dinner Friday night.  I got my mom to ship some lemonheads (DH got addicted while he was in the US) and I found some lime spice shower gel so he'll a bit of a treat on his pillow when he gets home tonight.

    Anniversary
  • nothing special here. I may have H order us a pizza instead of me cooking :) I'm mainly just excited that tomorrow is my day off and looking forward to sleeping later tomorrow!
  • Just the regular schedule. I teach an English class Tuesday evenings, and if I wanted to be a really nice teacher I would bring in treats, but I'm not going to. I don't feel Valentine's Day really counts as a cultural holiday worth being celebrated in an English class (I feel differently about the 4th of July, St. Patrick's Day, and Thanksgiving). In the past DH has sometimes given me chocolates or flowers, so we'll see if he brings something home. If not I won't be disappointed. I'm pretty apathetic about Valentine's Day.

  • Awww. My MIL just brought me a pot of daffodils, sandwiches and a bottle of wine for Valentine's! She can be so sweet sometimes. Cheers to a boozy lunch!
  • Last minute decision to go out for dinner tonight. I was just going to make bruschetta. But now we are going to a place called Tiny Lounge. Our favorite place near our apartment. They have really yummy tiny burgers on pretzel buns.

  • I really wish we were doing something. I have this feeling it'll be a super low key V-Day for us though.

    I plan to make DH a card yet, and other than that nothing much going on here. If I cook him an amazing meal I won't be able to eat it thanks to my diet that I have to be on. If we go out for dinner it's challenging because I'm stuck with the same situation again.
