CG, be forewarned: it's gonna be FRELLING COLD. My husband and I spent the weekend at Niagara Falls one winter a couple of years back (IIRC, we stayed at the Embassy Suites Fallsview - we got a free upgrade to a reeeeeeeally sweet room on the top floor) but going outside required some serious bundling up. But we found plenty of things to do indoors ;)

DH and I have no plans yet for this year. I'm thinking that we may stay in and prepare and enjoy a nice romantic dinner, maybe on the preceding Saturday. With all the snow we've been getting, who knows - we may have no choice but to stay in!

Thanks aephi alum. Yep, we're staying at the Fallsview, too. Yeah, we talked about it being cold there, but we're gonna dress really warm. Last year, we went on a horse and carriage ride downtown Chicago, and it was pretty cold, but we were dressed warm and having such a great time, that the weather really didn't bother us. I'm sure Niagara Falls will be the same way. I hope, brrrr.:(

I have no clue--he's keeping it a surprise. :o

I'm super excited! He knows this is my first V-day with a man so he's planning something special. I found a great gift and the funniest card for him. It was really hard to find a card that wasn't all "I love you madly, can't live without you, blah blah blah" This day was definitely not made for people still early in relationships. :p

One of my BFFs got married on Valentine's Day- she and her fiance snuck off to the courthouse and made it official. Every year, they celebrate by throwing their annual Grill and Chill - he throws some brats and burgers on the fire, and we all bring sides and just have a fun, relaxed evening. I'm making a heart shaped fruit pizza to take.

I always bring candy to my (all-male) department because as the den mother, I have to keep up morale, one Conversation Heart at a time. Plus, they like the attention.

My husband and I will exchange cards, and that's that.

We don't do Valentine's Day, but our 10-year dating anniversary is the following week...I suppose we should plan something for that!

My husband will be in the "empty quarter" between the UAE and Saudi Arabia working on a hospital project, so I believe I'm going to have some of my girlfriends over whose husbands are also traveling - a frequent issue with the "trailing spouses."

I borderline loathe valentines day...

I have not plans as of yet and have to think of something.

We're not really doing anything. Wife has to teach swim lessons at night after getting out of her day job and I don't get out of work til 8pm.

Prolly just order some Chinese and call it a night.

Ditto ...

Either that, or avoiding the hell outta FB for 24 hours due to that very reason ... :rolleyes:

LOL damn. Why? I love Valentine's Day. It's a special day, so I always start thinking about things to do 2 to 3 months ahead of time. Something really romantic. I'm one of those mushy, romantic type fellas.:D

You'd better start thinking of something pdq, man. LOL.

I have a go-see booked for the day after V-day where the client specified down to the quarter inch the measurements her model needs to have, and I (barely) have the perfect measurements...so definitely no special dinner is my future (unless salad is special :rolleyes:), and there best be no candy, or someone will be in trouble.

AlphaFrog, what do you do for a living?

I'll be working during the day, and then I'll probably go to the gym or go running.

My husband is coming to visit on the 19th, so we'll celebrate sometime that week.

For a LIVING, I work for a plumbing contractor (accounting/office management). I've just recently started professionally acting/modeling, but it's still a side thing at this point.

I think we're going to have a nice dinner at home and just hang out. My Grandma's birthday is the 11th so we might be doing something on Saturday the 12th to celebrate that. I'm not much of a Valentine's Day person.
