A ? for the women
Ruditoo | Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 04:00 pm     It's 'the' day we acknowledge LOVE . My sweet hubby show's me everyday in so many way, but it's one of my favorite days to celebrate. I'm a romantic I know and it feels so good. We've been to gather 13 and 1/2 yrs and I've never been loved nor so in love as I am now and I just love the idea there'a special day to acknowledge the day. Now down to the one thing I've never received from him and would just love for 'him' to pick out is a negligee. Now this would be a very brave thing for him to do and at this time in our lives it would mean a great deal to me to see what he would really like to see me 'in'. I'd be 'seeing' him as a White Knight. p.s. We're in our mid 50's. |
Resortgirl | Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 04:18 pm     I think what you give your Lover on Valentines Day is an extremely personal thing. A store bought card or a dozen roses is kind of cliche. If it's from the heart it has to be something that "really" means something to the person you're giving it to. Like a card written on a menu from the first place you ever ate a meal together, or a little video of the special moments you've shared~played to "your" song. One of my favorite things to give my husband is a "coupon" book. Coupons for a 1/2 hour massage ( I like those), or a day watching the History Channel (lol, not my favorite, but it is his) and the promise to sit next to him cuddling while he watches it. I gave him a "Day Off" from work, so he could go golf or hang out and watch the History channel. .. well you get my drift. I also take Valentines as an opportunity to get some "naughty lingerie"  |
Bookworm | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 07:30 pm     Well NC got me a very nice present. I now own the hardbacks of all four Harry Potter books. I had mentioned that I wanted to reread them before the next book came out in June. NC doesn't read books, but has jumped on the Harry Potter bandwagon by listening to the books on tape. It's really neat to be able to discuss them with him. He is looking forward to the upcoming book as much as I am. He also made sure the toilet was really, really clean. And got me three roses (red, white, and peach). It was a very nice Valentine's Day. I had a busy week last week with parent conferences so I didn't get to shop for him until Friday. So of course I couldn't really find anything. But I cooked him a steak dinner and got him a nice card and a box of Russel Stover's candy. We kind of switched roles this year as he had my books bought and wrapped by Monday night. He ordered the roses and cleaned the toilet midweek. I am usually the one who is on the ball and he is supposed to be the late one. Anyone else care to share their Vday stories? |
Twiggyish | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 07:37 pm     awwww I think it was a very considerate gift! |
Myjohnhenry | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 08:03 pm     Bookie...like I said before...NC is one prince of a guy!! NC...my teen doesn't like reading much as it is not always easy for her, but she will listen to a wider variety of books on tape and even remembers more about them. She often doesn't want me to turn off the motor on the car if we are at a good point in the story or will want to go somewhere just to listen to more of the story. (She does listen to them in the house too since she isn't in the car as much as you or I are) |
Myjohnhenry | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 08:13 pm     I bought some pink carnations, made a dinner of steak, baked potato, steamed asparagus, applesauce with cinnamon red hot hearts for dinner, lit a fire in the fireplace and candles and waited for Prince Charming, but he didn't show so I shared this Valentine Dinner with my teen. |
Max | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 08:14 pm     I spent Valentine's having dinner with 17 friends. My wheelchair bellied right up to the table and we enjoyed! Afterwards, we adjourned to the "community ping-pong" table (it's a long story). I didn't play, but the guys were smoking stogies, the dogs were chasing errant ping pong balls, the gals were chatting, we were all sipping cocktails. It was an extremely enjoyable evening. I have to say that some of the fun was watching couples come and go at the restaurant (being a large party, we were there quite a while longer than the average diner). Some couples were obviously having a good time and both parties were happy to be there. Other couples looked like it was a forced situation. I swear, some of the guys looked like they wanted to be ANYWHERE but there. Sorta sad, but entertaining to make up stories about the conversation they had on the way home. |
Sweetbabygirl | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 11:03 pm     Me and DB had a nice Valentine's....actually, we celebrated on Wednesday and Thursday since we weren't going to be together on Friday. For dinner, we had sauteed scallops over wheat linguine and cucumber salad. Earlier in the day, I bought him these silly 'Kiss' shorts, thinking he wasn't going to wear them, but he did. Myself, I bought a cute outfit from Lane Bryant. We forgot to do the gift thing, so had to wait until the morning. He got me beautiful cards, candy, Glow by J-Lo perfume and a tiara (since I'm his princess, blush!). With my $$ situation dwindling to cow poopy, I was only able to get him a card. He loved the card though, as it expressed exactly how I feel about him. All in all, this was the best Valentine's ever!! |
Nightcrawler | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 09:33 pm     MJ, I'm the same way as you teen. I will stay in my truck untill the chapter is done. I also don't read very well(as you can tell by my bad spelling on the bord) I can't wait untill the next potter book comes out in June. I think I'm going to start The Lord Of The Rings next. |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 10:22 am     i forgot to post my v-night. my mom came and watched the boys, dh and i planned on dinner and a movie. he was running a tad bit behind coming home from work, i wanted to leave the house at 7, we didn't leave till about 8. the movie started at 9:50, we got to the resteraunt at 8:15, 45 minute wait. needless to say we missed the 9:50 show(we wanted to see biker boyz) and the next show wasn't till midnight in a not so good theatre. we didn't finish dinner till 10:15. went to a nice seafood resteraunt, tons of people there. food is good, but pricey and portions aren't as big as i would like. i had printed out the theatre listings from moviephone.com and had it with me to look at during dinner to see what movie we would be able to catch. there was a 10:40 show of deliver me from eva, so we caught that. in plenty of time. the movie was packed by the time it started. and the movie was better than i thought. loved seeing LL Cool J, goodness he has the body of a god, the dimples, just wonderful. the women were cute too. all in all, great night. bookie, sounds like you had a great v-day too, mjh, sbg, and max, you all also seem to have had a great day/night. ok now to get ready for mother's day, lol. |
