The Official "WTF U Doing for Valentines Day" Thread (1 Viewer)

Insoxicated
Let's hear it fellas... maybe some ideas will help others out. Surely some laughs will emerge. 

:popcorny: 

 
Left roses and a card when I left for work this morning.  She should find them in another 40 minutes or so when she gets up.  In the card is a gift card for a message at the spa near our house.  I let them do the foreplay so I don't have to.  some things you contract out later in life when you have more financial means.  when I get home we will likely play "Release the Cracken".

 
She's making me meatloaf and mashed taters for dinner...don't hate, I effing love her meatloaf.  She's still recovering from flu, so probably won't be any sharing of my own meatloaf with her 

 
We're both working today and going out to dinner at a new place (new for us). I believe they'll have a Sinatra impersonator jazz singer guy so that'll be cool.

 
My wife looked at me on Monday and said: "You didn't get me anything for Valentine's Day, did you? I didn't get you anything."

Me: "Nope"

Her: "Ok. good."

:wub:

booked a full (mani/pedi, massage, schvitz, exfoliating, facial :unsure: ) spa treatment for Saturday - kid's away at GS camp this weekend, so dinner and overnight stay in the City (lawn darts to ensue), Sunday brunch - return by 3 to welcome daughter home.

That's great.. As long as you are prepared for the "Well, you didn't get me anything for Valentines day :angry: " to come at you as a weapon during the next argument. ;)

Wife and I exchanged cards, but that is it.  Maybe we'll open up a cheap bottle of wine to go with the spaghetti, jar of Classico pasta sauce, and Safeway-brand garlic bread with dinner this evening.

Enjoying not having to do anything for this manufactured "holiday"

manufactured, no doubt - but if it serves as the impetus for me to let her know how much i appreciate her putting up with a ton of my bull####, for being a fantastic partner, and a pretty remarkable lady, then so be it - yeah, i can be a bit lax in tossing platitudes and "thanks" around, so, if Feb.14 lights a fire under my ### to do so, then i welcome it -  she deserves every bit of it, and then some  :popcorn:

What's wrong with doing that on May 7th, or September 23rd, or March 1st?

 
I'll make something fabulous for dinner then we have our weekly court time at the tennis club from 8:30 - 10:00.  After which I will shower and promptly fall asleep.

People should be showing their SO they appreciate them daily, not on a fake holiday created to make companies money

absolutely nothing - as i said in my post, i dont do it often enough - it was a public admonishment of my own shortcomings in said area  :shrug:

this is not to say that i dont ever extend kindness outside of "holidays", but it's not as stellar as she merits. 

 
My younger son has a fever of 103... I mowed the lawn last night, timing was perfect bc we heard him crying on the monitor about 45 minutes later, so he slept in our bed, where he later puked around 2am. He was no better this morning and we didn't sleep much last night - we were both cranky this morning, so I anticipate some food delivery when I get in. 

I'll bring home some flowers and **** in a box, but with the fatigue and frustration caused by junior's symptoms, I think said box will remain unopened :kicksrock:

 
Nothing.   It's a contrived, bull#### holiday.  My lady would break up with me if I tried to do anything today.  :)

ya know, going further with your thought here ... that's why i always eschew the traditional chocolates, flowers, cards, etc - no doubt that the $75 dozen roses i saw this morning will be able to be had for roughly $30 tomorrow ... same with the chox.

now, the spa treatment i booked was a special, as per the "holiday" ... 20% off the regular price, so i am actually making the #### out on the gig.

ergo, i am in agreement with you on the chox/candy/flowers/card schtick being gouged the #### up for 2/14.  

and i take a hard pass. 

 
Nothing.  We told each other happy Valentine's day this AM.  She'd be angry if I overpaid for flowers today.  That said, I do buy flowers for her every month, just not today.

:yes:

She bought me a bag of potato chips. 

I took the day off because our daughter got out of her sica cast today but is now in a brace for the next month. I'll hang out with her for a bit and let my wife take a nap. That's romance.

The only "fight" we've ever had about Valentine's day was when I got her something. She really doesn't like these fake holidays. 

ETA: but heaven help me if I fail to make coffee every morning.

Packed up a small Red tablecloth, a bottle of her favorite wine, a small candle in my car this morning. Picking up an order of her favorite dessert in town (Bread Pudding from Southern Social) and packing it in a cooler.

Then I'll home to pick her up and take her out to dinner...... at Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken downtown (her favorite place in town, we rarely go) where I'll set the table, pop a bottle of wine, and enjoy a nice low key dinner. Will excuse myself toward the end and bring in the Bread Pudding as a coup de grace. 

Also got a pair of great tickets to see Brett Michaels w/ Firehouse (She's an 80's hair metal girl). 

All in all the night will prob cost about $100 with the wine, dinner and tickets.... but will be a huge hit. I did this once before exactly a decade ago and people around us flipped out and were taking pictures and ####. She ate it up. :lol: :wub:

Not a darn thing.  Won't even spend the evening together as I am going to a traveling basketball tournament seeding meeting and having beers with the guys before hand.  :winning:

But it is only a temporary reprieve.  We will probably reschedule for the weekend.

 
Out of my great respect for & awe of Clown Car, i am going to try to make it thru this fake holiday without making a "bust a Nutella" joke.
