What Are Your Plans for Valentine's Day?


Valentine's Day is upon us and I am trying to figure out what the hubby and I are going to do. He is really not a big planner. He feels that Valentine's Day is a "Hallmark" holiday. He participates in it because I enjoy it and I really think deep down that he enjoys it to. Who does not enjoy a reason to eat chocolate and other sweet things?  In the past, we have gone out to dinner and either saw a movie or rented one. That would be fine again, but I am trying to figure out if I want make Mr. J a gift or purchase one. I think that a handmade would be more special especially since he is a very simple man. Luckily, I have a few weeks to figure it out. What are you doing for Valentine's Day or do you even celebrate Valentine's Day?

I have no idea what the hubs is planning for Valentine's day. He usually does a pretty good job of making the day special. I know he has something in the works so I will just have to wait and see.

As far as his gift, I've been keeping my ears open to see if he will hint at anything - and he has. So I've been taking mental notes.

Be sure to give us an update after V-day to let us know your final plans.

I really love all the romance that surrounds Valentine’s Day. I think Geof (my husband) only tries to make it nice because he knows that I like it. Last year I got really lucky because he had a work trip to Vegas and I got to tag along. We had the best dinner at Prime and saw “O” at The Bellagio. I don’t know if I’ll have another one like that.

This year we’re thinking of going on a short weekend trip, but it’s still up in the air.

I’m sure you know about this site, but etsy.com has the cutest handmade items if you don’t feel like making anything. I still have no clue what to get for Geof.

You'll have to let us know what you end up doing ;)

The Peach Post--It sounds like your hubby is a planner. I hope you have a wonderful V-day and I will keep you posted.

Jules--I love Vegas. Everytime I have gone to Vegas either the winds are to high or the tickets are sold out for "O" so I could not see it. You lucky girl. That sound like a great V-day. Keep us posted on what you end up doing this year.

J kinda feels the same way as your husband about Valentine's Day--that's it's this contrived Hallmark holiday and that there's all this pressure.

But I love it. Also, it's my grandmother's birthday! So we always have a party for her. :) This year I got her this cute sparkly heart plate and some heart cups.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
