Normally Dh and I do not observe Valentine''s Day because we just don''t get into it. There''s a card here, sometimes he''ll surprise me with flowers, a dinner there, but for the most part, it''s just another day.
This year I feel like we deserve to treat each other, because we sort of glossed over our 5th wedding anniversary. (my mom''s b-day is dec 14, our anniv. is dec 16, our son''s bday dec 21, and of course xmas!). We had our son''s 2nd bday party & combo bday party for my mom on our anniversary this year (since it fell on a saturday) and didn''t celebrate "our" romantic day, our anniversary. And then of course, we had to have another bday party for my son a few days later with my dad & his family because my mom won''t be in the same room as him...arrrrghhh...suffice it to say, DH & I were like "hon, you know I love you dearly, I''ll catch ya on the backside of the holidays!". LOL!!!!!
So this year I wish for a Valentine/Anniversary celebration...
I''m going to start the day off by making pink heart shaped pancakes, OJ, bacon, fresh fruit....
Followed by:
Date night, complete with dinner and pressies!!!
I am thinking of buying DH a new leather jacket, since his is a wee outdated & I saw some great Andrew Marcs about to be marked down at Nordy''s.
I''d love a bottle of real perfume. I''ve been on the perfume thread here, and I think in all my sniffing I drifted back to my old faithful, and as fate would have it, Donna Karan Cashmere Mist just debuted in perfume (not eau de parfum or eau de toilette) and I''ve never owned a "real" bottle of pure perfume before!! I''ll sample at Nordy''s to be sure though!
I''m so excited! I''ve just always felt that we never needed Hallmark to give us a "day" where we have to be nice to each other or buy presents, but since we are both kind of bummed that we missed a fairly significant anniversary, well, who''s to say a little romance can''t hurt?????
So what, if anything do you and your sweetie do for Vday?
