One year, DH got me a heart-shaped box of chocolates from Walgreens and it was so awesome. (I love those things and wait for them like people wait for Cadbury eggs.)
every single year since, I told him I'd love it if he got me another box of chocolates like that. He never has. So I'm not holding my breath he will get me one, but man that would be awesome.
Is it weird that I don't care for getting or giving gifts on Valentine's Day? We're going to be up at a cabin with three other families that weekend so I don't know how that will play out with V-Day being right in the middle of the trip.

I really don't want anything. I usually make this clear to him a few weeks in advance but I don't think I've told him yet this year. Need to get on that.
He will probably buy me flowers or get me a card. Or he might not get me anything. He usually listens if I tell him I don't want anything.
I don't care very much, because my birthday is 2 days before Valentine's Day, so that's more exciting to me. H used to try to cheap out and combine. NO. TWO HOLIDAYS, TWO PRESENTS.
He has a cheesy display set up when we get home where he has a big vase of roses for me, plus some candy and a card that makes me cry, and smaller vases of roses for the girls, plus some candy and new books. It's so sweet.
Mine is the day after and my late husband always teased about combining them. :-) Happy early Birthday!

Happy early birthday to you! I hope you make it really nice for yourself. (heart)

I'd love a new piece for my hand blown glass collection (a bowl, a vase or an ornament) or something ceramic from a local pottery place. A charm from James Avery for my bracelet would be nice. *These are all items my mom is most likely to get me for Christmas.
Or a Massage Envy gift card. H has given me one of those, before.
Probably won't be romantic at all, since we will spend the day with three loud children. I don't care much about Valentine's Day though. I do love the excuse for a card and good food.

A Debbie Downer. Unless J makes something at school I won't get anything. It's crazy how much I'm hoping for at least a handmade card.
I bought J a few things so I will be happy if he likes his gift. I could live on his happiness, it's what keeps me going for niw and I'm ok with a that.
I'm trying to view it as just another day but I was supposed to get a ring to go with my wedding ring because it will ve 12 years to the day we got engaged. If H was alive if probably get a card. Lol.

MINE IS 3 DAYS BEFORE. THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH.
What I want? Flowers sent to work.
What I will get? An acknowledgment of the holiday and a kiss.
