I need something to boost ME this time of year. This is when it starts to feel that winter will never end. I love Valentine's Day, just for something different.
My kids are now excited about it. Remember decorating the box, writing your name on 20 cards? Last night, my daughter was going through all the candy heart-like message suckers she was giving out to make sure she didn't give "kiss me" or "love you" to a boy. YUCK!!

Dear manfromnantucket~here's a suggestion. Celebrate Valentines Day by doing something nice for your community or a friend. Hallmark holiday ~yup, but you can't deny the world could use all the love it can get.
A local priest gave a sermon the Sunday before Lent suggesting rather than give something up, why not do something of service. I think it's a great idea.
LOVE BACK AT Y'ALL.

I do nice things for my community all year, not just one day. The problem with holidays like this is we should be treating our loved ones like this everyday, not just once a year. Do we treat our mothers well on mothers day and then ignore them the rest of the year? I hope not. My wife gets the equal ,of a valentine everyday so we laugh at people who are rushing out to get "flowers", my wife gets flowers every week. Anyone else here do that? Anyone send a card on a tuesday in July for the hell of it?
My wife is my valentine24/7/365, not just on 2/14.

Happy Valentine's Day to All!
I am about to seek out the kitchen
and cook up a mustard and herb encrusted pork loin for Mr.R5
He will be in shock, as the kitchen is not a place I am usually found, I will start with decanting a nice Pinot Noir
as that will make cooking a cheerier
event.
It will just be fun to see his surprise. Now, if we determine that
dinner should be fed to the cats
what is my back-up plan ?
Ah, yes.
Chinese take-out

Cooked a pair of Maine lobster tails, two small filets, did two twice baked potatoes, and some broccoli (why did I ever buy a 3 pound bag from Costco when there are only two of us?). Along with a nice Lindeman's reserve cabernet. Sitting on our screened balcony/porch while it is still 68 degrees.

Happy Belated Valentines, Everyone
(Yum, Patrick! We want to double date w/you next time you make dinner!)
And Bah Humbug to all who can't just kick back and smile when Valentine's comes around. I used to be like that--a bunch of my friends and I went to a bar dressed all in black back in college...Turns out the guys loved it and I think we all ended up w/dates afterwards, so you never know.

I have mixed feelings about Valentines day. I think it is a day when companies exploit people into buying expensive meals/gifts and it puts pressure on poor un romantic men to do something romantic! Also I know my single friends find it depressing! What my fiance and I did this year was make each other cards. Not only did we have a lot of fun doing it, we knew that more thought had gone into it rather then just picking up the first card you see in the shops!
