What did you do for Valentine's Day?

So what did you all do? I griped about V-day almost 2 weeks ago, but as usual, it's really bad for my wallet, but worth the experience.

I'll start...

This being our first Valentine's in NYC, I took my wife out to a fancier than I expected restaurant (Cafe Des Artistes). The food was terrific. After dinner, we went to a jazz concert by Dee Dee Bridgewater. The concert was 1/5th of the cost of dinner, but 5x more entertaining 🙂 From now on, my wife and I decided we'd spend V-day on some other night to save the costs.
 
I did nothing. 🙁

While I was with my wife, I never had money to go out. Now I'm not with her (seperated), and I have the money to go out. Odd how that works, eh?

I'm glad you had fun.
 
I griped, as well. Told the wife (once again) that is was total BS. On Tuesday morning, I gave her a typical "For My Wife on Valentine's Day" greeting card with "Love ya" scrawled in it and a small, $4 box of chocolates.

Later that day, however, I called home from work and asked her to check my coat pocket for a receipt I needed. Inside my coat was a small envelope with a card in it that said "Ten Things I Love About You" with Reason #1 given, and a clue as to where the next note was hidden. This proceeded for 9 notes, all scatttered about the house in locations somewhat related to the reasons ("The way you look at me" = note hidden under her extra pair of glasses, etc.) The final clue led her to a cute stuffed purple frog (she likes frogs and the color purple) with a Ruby Ring and a real Valentine's Card.

I'm a disgrace to men everywhere, I know. 😱
 
Had a Hickory Farms basket sent to my boyfriend (which he loved; he lives a few hours away until next month) and he's taking me to a Japanese restaurant when I drive over there on Friday.

Reheated some leftovers, played some MekWars, and listened to my wife gripe about the certification exam she has to take this week.

You make me sick. Do you offer schooling for the romantically deprived minds?

Dude, I don't know where this stuff comes from. I honestly didn't want to do anything, and didn't plan to do anything until 2 days before. Then this random bolt of inspiration hit me and I went shopping..

*shrug*

I'll gladly charge you $50 for the use of this idea, however. 😛

There is nothing wrong with being romantic here 'n there. It scores MUCHO points with teh womanfolk, and is therefore acceptable.

Nicely done, by the way!

My V-day: Got my gf a gift-set of Strawberry-scented bath-gel, body butter, soap, exfoliating creme, etc, and a bottle of Dior Hypnotic Poison body milk. Guys, if you want a perfume for your woman, get Hypnotic poison. The smell is instantly relaxing, and makes any woman who wears it instantly hotter.

Went out for a decent dinner (Taking her to a really nice one on Friday night, before Russel Peters), and went to go see Final Destination 3 (her idea...her taste in movies is a little...odd...like she enjoys dismemberment, torture, that kinda thing)...But the best part is what I found in bed...she had spent the day getting a brazillian.

:Q

😀

Well, since my wife is out of the country, I stayed at home and watched TV. 🙂

I told her that when she comes back I'll take her to her favorite place to eat, Macaroni Grill. 🙂
 
Wine bar, then her favorite opera at the MET.

At the end of the night the fruits of my labor by far surpassed even my wildest expectation 😉

Between her bday last month and VDay this, I've managed to dodge 2 bullets by not having to take her to her favorite restaurant - Olive Garden :blech;
 
Waited an hour and 45 minutes with all of the other sheep at red lobster because my girlfriend is dumber than a brick sh!thouse and refused to entertain my basic request to just do a valentines day dinner a day or two either way. I had to get all cleaned up for it, drive half an hour up to her place for the 3rd time in a week and spend the 4th night in a row using my car as a rolling suitcase. She cleaned out my wallet at the bar, left me with the dinner bill (funny, this dinner was supposed to be her present to me :| ) and then wouldn't fvck me when we got back to her place.

I want to vomit just thinking about it.
 
I set it with my g/f's boss (a mutual friend) that my g/f was booked up for the night and couldn't get off of work to go out. My g/f was sad when I invited her to dinner that night saying she had to work and her boss wouldn't give her the night off because it was a big important client coming in.

Then the night before I met her boss up at the shop and she let me in to put a dozen rozes, chocolates, and a huge stuffed dog in her area. So the g/f comes in Valentine's afternoon and see's all that, which only makes her more sad that she can't go out with me.

I then show up at 6:30 as her "important client" 😉 and tell her she has the night off. Then I took her to my place for some pre dinner uh.......then she got ready and we went to the melting pot.....fondue FTW!

She was floored and her friends are jealous that their husbands/boyfriends haven't put as much thought into their night's out if they even were taken out at all.

The great part, my g/f doesn't even expect this, nor really want it as she'd rather see me save money or spend it herself. That makes spending that much on a cheesy manufactured holiday all the more worthwhile, knowing she really was surprised and felt special.
 
Wife and I went to a hockey game and then dinner.

. . .

Of course it was our son's game and McDonalds afterward....but who's counting. lol 🙂

For the first time in a while my room mates and I were all single, so we made plans with some girls that we knew. We had the three of them come over, I made Veal Parmesean served with pinot noir followed by chocolate covered strawberries, champagne and Wedding Crashers. Then we pounded vodka shots and went from there. I woke up 10 minutes before I had to be at the bus stop and didn't even realize until I got to the bus that I was still pretty drunk.
