oops, sorry -have changed that now. Yes, my attitude would be a little unusual for a Michigander. I adopt the "when in Rome" philosophy for my kids -they have all made cards for their Valentine's parties at school (which will now be tomorrow or Friday as today's a snow day), but I'm too old a dog to be taught new tricks. It just feels "icky".

Sundae Girl, happy to hear your news
I shovelled the snow out of the drive so beest could get to work this morning -does that count as romantic? All evening activities are cancelled tonight because of the snow. I'm thinking beest and I could make the most of the free time and do our tax return and finalise our wills. Well it's a form of togetherness isn't it? Death and taxes on Valentines day, I like the concept

Delivered pink tulips (her favorite), a lovely small card, "...you're more than I deserve...", and a sparkling beverage.
... But it's still early.

We have never celebrated Valentine's Day. Every day should be special in some way, a love gift should be a surprise and thought of by you out of your heart... not by some corporation/restaurant to manipulate everyone to buy substandard products for people they care about at inflated prices one day a year.
Try a test, eat at the same restaurant and by flowers for the same price two weeks later and see the difference... it will sicken you. |

I think he's referring to the inflated prices and poor service from the V day crush. Two weeks later you'd get probably three times the flowers for the same money, and an unharried wait staff will give you much better service in a much more pleasant atmosphere.

I waste my whole day producing food for happy couples who can't manage to do something special for their loved ones by preparing a meal at home that's worth eating.. yeah.. going out to have your food cooked by pissed off overworked people is a great idea to show your love.

We went out to eat last night at our daughters favorite restaurant, Chili's. We went a little early, 5:00 and were seated by 5:15. Waitress was great, food was just as good as always, and the Chocolate Molten dessert, yumtastic. When we left at 6:40, there was only one couple wating to be seated, when usually the lobby is full.
So there. :p
