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. 
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.

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!

This will be my first Valentines with Mr. L.A., and I agree with you--most cards are written for people who have been together for a longgg time! 
He enjoys when I cook for him, and asked me to make him prime rib, twice-baked potatoes, and asparagus! He's the best, so I am happy to oblige. Plus, he's going to pick up a dessert and a nice bottle of wine!

Go with the funny cards, not the "You are the Light of My Life <paragraph of cursive text here>" but the slightly silly ones.

FWIW @ the cards: When my guy & I were seriously having problems, I made a card with Pepe Le Pew on the front, and "Are you my Pepe Le Pew or just another skunk?" on the inside. To this day, he claims that's what made him straighten up and realize what he was about to lose.

I'm supposed to be getting together with a chick I used to nail. Supposedly, she's going out of town on business that week, so if we don't do something the weekend before, I'll probably just wig off and call it a night.

Last year I gave a naughty/funny one and I got a really romantic one. We both loved the ones we got
