Valentines Day
 
I think its all a load of hype just like xmas. But just wondering if you celebrate it and if so what romantic things are you doing today? :wub:

We don't really celebrate it as such. Restaurants get too full and the price of flowers goes through the roof. I am cooking her a curry though.

And I've got an idea for dessert... ;)

Hate the hype and money making that occurs. My OH always cooks a lovely meal for me and of course we take the opportunity to have a bottle of Cava. The young lady who comes to us to practice her English was taken aback when we were surprised that she is not seeing her boyfriend tonight.

I was woken up this morning by a huge HGV pulling up outside my apartment. Quite how they managed to get the thing into the port I have no idea. But it caused a huge traffic problem and pretty much blocked up the road.

3 Guys jumped out of the cab and arrived and like an army of ants started carrying out crates upon crates to my apartment door.

Next minute my intercom phone is ringing, and theyre for me!! I thought what the hell is going on. So i went down there and by this point the crates were blocking up all the pavement so people couldnt walk by. Each crate with my name on!

They were all labelled up "To Onlineamiga, Valentines Day" I opened a box and it was full of valentines day cards from all different people.

I had to tell the guys to stop unloading any more! I physically woudlnt fit all these boxes in my apartment!

So I am really sorry if I didnt get your card, but I had no where to put it.

There is still 11 hours 14 minutes of the day left. Plenty of time for all those anonymous secret admirer cards to come flooding in!

We think it's a load of hype too, and just treat it as any other day (same as Christmas!)

Trouble is, O/H is on week 2 of a 7 week stint in the States................so every day is a "missing you" day :(

We manage to Yahoo or speak most days, so it's not too terrible.
I am reassured that he will more than make up for it, once he's home again :wub:

So, tonight it's just me and the dog - and she's asleep! :lol:

Hello,
All my days are like "valentine day" it's true. I got married just 5 years ago, i was 45 years old and getting married wasn't part of my plans. I always thought i was going to be single all my life, the idea i had about men wasn't very good, i had had not very good experiences with them but in the end, i met him and all the ideas i had about men changed. He is great and he is always thinking of me. Each day is a valentine day!! :wub:
Regards,
marisol
