I bought candy for my son and nephew. My dad bought me a huge box of chocolate ... so sweet!! And we'll be putting flowers on my mom's grave stone tomorrow. Tulips and daffodils.

Bought the kids some cards and stickers and slipper sox, bought little sis a ladybug mug and some dried mangos. DH will get a card. That's all he deserves right now, and I think I am being generous in that aspect.

My dad used to buy us each a little heart-shaped box of candy on Valentine's day. We would wake up and it would be sitting on the table with little cards he had written for us. I think of him mostly when I think of Valentine's day.

I mailed valentine cards to my 4 grandchildren out of state, bought some chocolates for my 3 grandchildren in state. Me and 4 of my girlfriends are going to lunch and maybe catch "He's Just Not That Into You" movie, DH will have me in the morning to do whatever he comes up with.

Nothing in celebration of the holiday as far as I know. But I was in several stores today and was just amazed at all the Valentines Day stuff they were selling and all the stuff people were carting out of the stores. My Hispanic neighbors are SO romantic down here in South Texas. You should have seen Walmart with the fresh flowers right up near the checkouts. There must have been hundreds.

My friend Betsy told me she got her husband a "Best Buy" gift card for VD. I said, "Girl, you better wrap that up with a pair of handcuffs and a hot nightie!" LOL.

Not a fan of the holiday always feel that you should tell people you love them everyday. However my hubby feels that I will feel left out if I do not celebrate. So we exchange gifts on the 13th and dine out and will buy some chocolate on the 15th. Not a fan of the "hallmark holidays" and that includes monther's day to my daughters dismay.

Not to be a downer - but we are going to a funeral today. That will be the extent of our day. Fun, huh?

DH & I down play Valentine's Day. He tells people who ask and are appalled that we don't do anything that with us every day is Valentine's Day. Our day is our anniversary which we just celebrated. We will have a nice dinner (I love to cook) and that is about it

So sorry, Weinermr. Skootz, why nothing? My DS surprised me with a box of chocolates and a little stuffed black lab beanie. Looks just like Marley!

Since my birthday is the day before, people tend to combine Valentine's Day with it. I received some heart shaped and decorated gifts along with some flowers and candy yesterday! So I have become used to celebrating Valentine's Day sort of by default.

My husband ran and got me Starbucks this morning, which is always a plus for him. We are thinking of just staying home for dinner, avoid the crowds and the awful weather. I think we are going to get some crab and enjoy.
