Well, i'm sending my mother a dozen red roses. My grandmother and aunt each half a dozen roses and I bought candles and candy for my 5 co-workers (we're really close)! Sad to say I won't be getting anything in return because I don't have a significant other.

I was getting him a lot of loot until he ticked me off!

Like mama says "Men are like cows..Give a good bucket of milk then kick it over!"

I'm in the moood for love so maybe I'll forgive him just for tomorrow. I think since he'll be on punishment he'll have to settle for a bottle of Aqua Di Gio a very LARGE card and me all wrapped up in a red bow!

What is your most memorable Valentine's Day?

[lovelyivy84]

The V-day I got a mysterious dozen pink roses was memorable. Didn't even know what the sender looked like.

I am getting my Mom a box of chocolates, but I remain not a fan of this holiday- I like people who can show me their afftection every other day of the year too, not come up with the big show for this one and think it means something.

[AKA2D '91]

True dat.
However, there are those who are going to go alllllll out!

I'm not going to know how to act having a LEGITIMATE "special person" on this day! IT OUGHT TO BE A NATIONAL HOLIDAY!

LMAO @ myself!

[delph998]

V-Day will be another day for me. I'll call the fam and tell them that I love 'em. My father will probably get me some candy and a rose. He tells me every year that he's sick of being my Valentine's. But I'm thankful that I have him.

I can't even handle you right now, lol. LOL

BUT, I feel you. I will be driving to Ohio that weekend since we have that Monday off to spend time with my manfriend. I could really give a d@mn about V-Day, if I must be honest. It just happened to be the next three-day weekend. I don't really do V-day (for the same reasons as Soror lovelyivy), so I won't be getting him anything. Except, of course, my presence. And what could be better than that?

AWWW Ideal08...you can see him any ole time...you really want to miss MY visit, do you? LMAO...J/K

While in grad school in Northern Cali, a guy that I used to date and I went on a trip down the coast to Half Moon Bay and played on the beach. Then took a stroll through the little shops in town. I got a flower out of the deal too.


This year, who knows what will happen since the guy that I was dating most recently and I are trying to be "just friends" now... you know how that goes.
He might play the friend role or he might just play the dating role.

I might have to take *myself* to a resort again for the weekend, like last year.

I dislike V-Day with a passion. Six bad ones in a row will do that for you.. lol..
I told Mr. Nikki to just get me a card. I'll get him a card, maybe cook dinner or something for him...

lol @ Ideal's present of her presence! I like that...

[Paradise359]

Actually I need suggestions...we're in a LD relationship & I'll be working that entire weekend :-( So it'll have to be something I can send to him...Help me out guys!
