Plan's for the 14th.

[AnticorRifling]

So what are your plans for Monday? Anyone doing anything special or out of the way for their significant (or insignificant) other?

Now I wouldn't suggest answering this if you're planning a suprise and your target of adolation reads here heh but knowing my wife doesn't I'll share my plans.

I'm taking a day off of work, and hand delivering a dozen long stem red roses (her favorite personally I like something alittle less cliche but when is a holiday ever about the guy?) which I have had on order sice the 2nd of Feb. And with it a card containing a gift card for a day spa package including a whole bunch of that pamper me stuff women like. Then after I have embarrased her enough in front of her fellow teachers and all her students I'll be heading home to cook her favorite foods and I'll be setting out a nice meal with candles and some music, etc.

And more than likely I'll shampoo the carpets, clean the bathrooms, wax the floors and maybe do some work in the garage since I will have the entire day off. This isn't part of her gift but it is a part of my plans since I'm a neat freak and having a whole day off = shampooing the carpets (once every 2 weeks or so).

Nada.

Henceforth I'm boycotting Valentine's Day.

Women suck.

Jake is taking me somewhere on Saturday and he won't tell me where. He said it's a dinner reservation, but then he said we have to leave by four so I'm guessing it's an overnight thing. For him, I bought him a book he'd like and a few DVDs I knew he wanted, those are wrapped and waiting to give to him (they're hiding in the trunk of my car, which we'll take if we go anywhere, so it's flexible when they can be handed over).

On Sunday afternoon, I conspired with his co-teacher to get him to let me into Jake's office so I could go in and sprinkle an obnoxious amount of confetti on his desk, along with a huge tin of cookies. And a bag of fire cheetos, because Jake loves fire cheetos.

It's top secret.

I am an official Vday hater, ever since our cabin burned down that day when I was in high school.

That said, my best friend's husband has just the most wonderful present planned for her. He got in contact with the newspaper, and asked to place an ad for Valentine's day. The paper called him back, and told him they were doing a whole feature piece on different stages of marriage. They selected them for the "less than one year" couple. There will be an entire column in the feature dedicated to the two of them and what he believes makes their relationship special, along with a couple pictures from different times in their history.

Friggin' :heart: the guy. Kick ass present, and it didn't cost him a dime. Perfect.

At least you arn't addicted to smack.

I have no significant other so.......No plans for me.

[Divinity]

Reading some of these plans made me jealous. Very, very jealous. I'm going to work and then going out with friends to get trashed on house margaritas while munching on appetizers.

I'm rather moneyless, but on monday, I decided to take her bowling (she <3 bowling), dinner (at East Side Mario's... exactly like Olive Garden), and we will be renting a movie to watch. During dinner, I'll be giving her the gift.. a really kickass silver locket necklace with our names engraved on it, along with a single red rose. Set me back $85 :(. But meh, it'll just be a fun night.

[Edited on 2-12-2005 by Chadj]

$85 Canadian is like.. $2.50 American.. Cheap fuck.

[Chadj]

Haha, suck dick. That was the absolute last of my money. I had to borrow money to get that.

I suppose I'll give credit where credit is do. NICE WORK EVEN THOUGH ANY AMERICAN CAN EARN THAT IN LESS THAN AN HOURS WORTH OF WORK1!11

Oh boy. I don't know if everyone really wants to know.

For the last 3 years Scott has made me these beautiful wooden picture frames. I know it sounds stupid but to a photo major being able to have someone custom-make frames for my weird-cropped photos is great. He also uses rare woods that have a wonderful finish to them.

I, usually, offer to take us out to dinner and that's that. Usually sweet romantic stuff.

Well did we ever rearrange plans this time. We went out to dinner last week and I got shitfaced and we suddenly decided that afterwards we'd head to Facinations. (For those who don't know...an "adult store") He was asking me if my friend's "toy" came from here (I know the guys are freaking at this point, but she's mine and Scott's good friend so we're all pretty open.) I said yes and we start to look for it. I find it, and I'm like...shit that's expensive and he asks, "Do you want me to get it for you?" WTF!?! Hell yes I do! He proceeded to explain to me how he was going to get it for me for V-day and figured just to get it now instead. (Obviously no complaints from me.)

Soooo....as payment I plan on gifting him with some rather...tasteful, yet fun, photographs. I'm debating on whether or not to hide them in his car so he finds them on his way to work.


I know, I'm going to hell, heh.

14th begins the second portion of the festival celebrating the Chinese New Year!














I won't be doing anything special.

Nothing, my Girlfriend's grandmother passed away today (Friday) and she's going up to New Jersey until Monday night. Viewing is on Friday, Funeral on Monday.

Pretty damn crappy if you ask me, her mother's birthday was Wednesday and got a phone call that her mother had about a few hours to live...So she had to drive up 12 hours on her birthday thinking/knowing her mother was about to pass away on her birthday. I can't go with, due to the fact tommorrow I have a rather important meeting to go to and missing it would be, well not good at all. So, as for V-Day it's just me and the 2 cats.

[peam]

I've training all day Monday, but tomorrow night I've a date for drinks with a lovely young lady.

I'm so sorry for your girlfriend's loss, hon. Please give her family my condolences. :(

[Tsa`ah]

I said it last year, I'll say it again this year.

I don't need one day a year to show my love and affection. We're not doing anything because ...

A) We hate crowds
B) We hate waiting
C) We hate traffic
D) We hate inflated prices

[Kainen]

Since I don't have a significant other, I will probably take my son to dinner and give him some money to play in one of the many arcades up at the casinos. Also I have a small present for my sister and I will call my Mom and Dad and tell them how much I love them.

[AnticorRifling]

Jesae needs to talk to my wife.

Gizmo I'm sorry to hear that bro.

Edaarin don't worry one day you'll save up enough to mail order yourself something nice :cool:

[Bobmuhthol]

I was planning on having flowers delivered, but my debit card is teh low on $$$. It's all in my savings account.

[Bobmuhthol]

hahah I just read Chadj's post.

I was willing to spend at least $80 (AMERICAN!!!!) on a night with Connie, but I let her talk first. And that was when she broke up with me. I had such mixed emotions.

[Eiderfleur]

My fiance has been going to Aikido for a few years now. And we have been planning for me to go with him. Well two weeks ago on monday I was supposed to go, but his best friend died the Thursday before so we spent some time with his girlfriend, younger brother and sister and some other close friends, and thinking of the good times, also discussing funeral arrangements etc.

Last monday was the funeral and we all went out afterwards. Was very theraputic for my fiance to talk to others who had known him.

However, he did mention that we could postpone going to Aikido on monday and go out together etc. But I believe any day can be romantic. Why restrict it to one day a year to do something special?

Also..... I feel bad for Dan's girlfriend who will be spending this year alone after almost six years of not spending a single night away from Dan, and probably thinking about her loved one, who she will never spend another day with.

[Ben]

one night stand

[DianaBanana]

Colin is working late monday so I already got my present. :yes: I'll probably just hang out at home and watch tv or something.

[Killer Kitten]

In years past Mike and I always had dinner out at our favorite restaurant and a hotel reservation, to spend a night togeher away from the cats.

Our new house is still on 'hotel' status with us, so I can't see wanting to get a room for the night. I'm going to whip up his favorite foods for dinner and serve by candlelight.

After dinner I'll give him his present, a really cool light for his collection. Then early to bed with a good movie.

I like Valentine's Day a lot, always been mushy about it. He'll probably send me flowers and come home with a stuffed animal. I love stuffed animals.
