I know there are tons of people out there who absolutely love the day, love the celebration of all that is hearts and flowers and...well, love. But if you need Valentines Day to let your significant other know how you feel about them, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
We've had our share of failed attempts at romance on Valentine's Day... Illness got in the way of our first one together. The next was wrecked by the horror of our moot court brief being due on February 15. Nothing says romance more than being up at a charming b&b in the White Mountains in a massive suite with a fire place, jacuzzi, flowers and champagne...and our laptops, printer, five reams of paper, 100 criminal law cases and about 15 drafts of a brief that ended up placing 4th in the country...
But this year, there was no way that the trend would continue. We were going to do this stupid holiday right. My parents were set to watch the munchkin so we could spend some quality time together for a change.
And my darling husband took full advantage of the situation. He showered me with diamonds...
And delicious chocolates...
Dozens of roses...
And the obligatory very romantic candle lit dinner.
*sigh*
If only that was how we spent our night...

Sounds bittersweet.
Okay, so I went back and read all those older posts. Patience is a virtue. Your special Valentine's Day will come. Keep planning, make the arrangements, anticipate, and keep thinking this is our year.
Even the grinch had a change of heart.
Sigh.
Haha . . well I had one like that in my imagination. I'm a legend in my own lunchtime. . . .so I watched telly and downed a bottle of champagne on my own!
Sorry about the way things went for you this weekend. If you need anything let me know.
there is something to be said for dreams...smiles.
I second what Matty said! Don't lose the faith! Also, that puppy picture is the cutest thing I've seen...EVER!! Thanks for the smile, and CHIN UP! OK?
Have a great week!
Try it every night until it happens for you :)

Jaime, I'm so sorry, truly sorry. (((hugs)))
Anticipation ...... says the l;ady who got a golf cart for Valentines!
For what it's worth, we have the same exact outlook on VD.
I really don't give 2 shits about it. I don't throw a fit if I don't get roses (I really don't even like roses) or chocolates, or taken out to dinner. It's just not me.
I'm glad I'm not the only VD grinch out there.
I hope you guys are able to have some non VD quality time alone.
My hubbs hates hallmark holidays... so instead he sent me flowers at work several days before;)
I'm not going to complain...
Ut oh! Are you going to share how it actually went?
DIAMONDS? YOU GOT DIAMONDS? Hello, you should have called me and then texted me a picture... Not that you have my number, but you know what I mean!
I hope you two got to enjoy each other a bit! Hubs sounds like a keeper!
