Our trip was our Valentine's date this year. It varies, but we always recognize it some way, even if it is an agreement that we are both too busy to mess with it that particular year. I got the cards today, and will probably take her out for a romantic burger tomorrow night. |

A romantic burger? How is it romantic? Heart-shaped? Just yanking your chain. Not having to cook is always romantic, even for those of us who like to cook. |

Last weekend I arranged sleepovers for the boys at their friends' houses (we're a bit old for the babysitter routine) and then made dinner reservations at a cool Thai restaurant where I ordered a ginger lemongrass martini. Not a kid-friendly restaurant. I really enjoyed the night out. I bought candy today that I will hide in everyone's lunch tomorrow. I have heart-shaped ravioli for dinner tomorrow night and chocolate-covered graham crackers. No Hallmark cards, but I like the excuse to do fun things. |

Don't know yet. We also went bowling at a local casino this weekend with some other couples to celebrate. One woman brought raunchy prizes. Fun night out. |

I wanted to make some chocolate chip cookies today, but that will have to wait. I'm running a fever and have a spot on my back by my shoulder that hurts like the dickens. These two things are likely unrelated, but neither one makes me eager to cook right now. Maybe in a day or so. |

Ooops. Big ooops. I forgot all about tomorrow. It's too late to get a card or chocolate. No wonder he brought me home some potted pink flowers yesterday. I feel like a huge idiot. I usually give him his giftie first thing in the morning before he goes to work.

It's not too late to hit a 24-hour supermarket like Sobeys to get a card and some chocolates. |

we have never celebrated... altho on our 'first' valentine's day, mr. apple got down on his knees and proposed. I burst in laughter because i had already bought my wedding dress!!!!! 36 dollars at the Junior League thrift shop, the one and only dress I tried on. It was cute. I'm thinking if I buy myself some flowers it will be ok.. also thinking that they might be on sale tomorrow. maybe I'll make a cake in the shape of a heart for my loved ones.

My dad used to always have a big heart-shaped box of Russel Stover´s chocolates for each of us waiting on the counter downstairs Valentine´s Day morning. My mom was mostly in charge of the gifts for all other occasions, but my dad took charge of V-Day. Very sweet.
