Not so! I am true to my anti-Valentine sentiment through and through.
Oh, I bought my kids big Hershey kisses. That's ok.
But Jupiter and I have our plans- exchange gifts (video games  ) and have a casual dinner.
No dead flowers, NO candy, no dressing up and no jewelry- most likely not even cards.
Just a simple night together with gifts that suit us- and not this Hallmark holiday.

Hehe, Nephy, we're quite alike. J called the other day to apologize in advance for his not being here and his internet problems and no flowers and yada yada... I had to laugh, because I figured he'd know from our past conversations that I'm not into that sort of thing. Flowers are sweet, but unnecessary. If he was home, I might expect dinner, even if it was pizza. We'd throw in a movie and just be happy to be together. It's what it's about.
If we get each other something, like Nephy, it's not the traditional Hallmark crap. I got him the original
Transformers movie. He's always doing nice stuff, so since he'll be home next week, I don't expect him to have anything for me (he's in Fort Dodge, Iowa, where there's pretty much nothing except an Air Force base), nor do I want him to go out of his way to get some sort of last-minute gift for me. He does so much for me already.
He was still nervous, on the phone, that I still expected it despite telling him otherwise. I think some other woman of the past ruined him by saying one thing and meaning another. He always thinks I have some sort of weird expectation that I just don't have.
