I've never really cared either about Valentines Day. I do all this stuff every day anyway. If I lit fireworks every day (okay, every few days) the Fourth of July wouldn't be much fun either.

True that. And to be honest, they weren't really "co"workers - my ex-boss, my current boss, and one of the children's librarians were the culprits. So there you go.

You've got a point.

I've threatened in the past to do a formal dress dinner just for couples friends of mine around VD, for fun, to celebrate coupledom and the people who are able to make it work. When single friends of mine heard of the idea, I got some raised eyebrows (not that I thought anyone was offended, but obviously, not being invited to something always sucks no matter the circumstances). Seeming to snub the loose cannons was an aspect I didn't even consider when coming up with the idea.

It's ok anyway, since the idea never got off the ground and probably never will. Maybe '09?

^^^ that is post 6969 for CP.

I got a prettily wrapped box of See's Chocolates :) (And he also got me a box of molasses chips - my favorite!)

Anyone want to trade the conversation hearts I got form my mom for some Reese cups? Conversation hearts are nice to look at but I don't particularly care for their taste.

We had a nice family steak dinner last night. I gave my mom a nice card, some candy, and tulips.

Well so nice to get that over with. Hopefully next year about this time I'll have found that perfect someone and I'll enjoy Valentine's Day more.

Valentine's Day does bring about something fun though. For the past ten years I put on a Valentine's Day Sock Hop for a local private school for kids with special needs (my mom is their secretary). I love seeing the kids have a good time. It means a lot to me cause I love them so much.

Can't stick around here too much....cause the Hop is tonight and I have to make sure everything is ready to go.

That is awesome BDB- really! :)

Well- it was a day. Went home- relaxed, played Rock Band til he got home. Went out- picked up dinner and then came home and squirreled ourselves away in our room- ate dinner, relaxed, exchanged gifts (which went well)-

I had a horrible back pain- I was pretty unhappy.

....and I didn't get any. :(

Damn it.

*pats Nephy's back*

Well, my boyfriend did....

... well, he got dinner, anyway.

I made myself some penne with Bombolina sauce and chicken. Simple, but delicious. And then later I ate some more of the sage Derby cheese.

LOL- :)

Dinner was yummy- Panda Express. Orange Chicken- yummmm

Leftovers for lunch

Well our VD day happenings ended up being much more than I expected. Around 8 o'clock I shouted at Lani I was going to go get some food and unexpectedly she shouted back that her raid was about done and she'd go with me.

So we walked across the street to Macaroni Grill, laughed at the people who apparently got all dressed up for a romantic dinner at a chain restaurant where they'd have to wait an hour for a table while crammed like swine in a small little waiting area. Ordered some food to go, spent 15 minutes watching the kitchen work and making Hell's Kitchen comparisons.

Then with food in hand we walked back across the street and ate while watching an episode of Quantum Leap. Then I did today's New York Times crossword puzzle before going to bed and she returned to WoW.

I had a very nice Valentine's Day evening.
Cherny, Gn2Dlnd and I ate dinner, candy and chocolate dipped strawberries at their apartment.
We also watched parts of Blu-Ray Planet Earth on their huge flat screen TV.
Amelie was the feature film last night. It's such a great movie. Truly one of the happiest films I've ever seen.
Wonderful night.
:)
