Something funny for a change. Customer who is also our vendor just came in and bought 3 tulip bouquet from me for $1.99 each. He was asking me several times if they gonna make it until Friday. I said if my husband gave me 4 days old $1.99 tulips for VD - I would divorce him. (we do not xchange gifts btw) Customer laughed so hard and told my husband 'maybe it is not a bad idea AT ALL! get her that tulip and you are a free man!'

I'm giving mine some gloves that he wanted but wouldn't buy for himself. He's giving me a car. But I'm wrapping my gift to him!

My DH is leaving on a trip for 2 weeks right on Valentine's day and is giving me some much needed peace and quiet - had a lot of people at home on and off for the past 2 months and I am craving some time alone to just chill out, read some books, watch some TV etc etc.

DH is leaving for a gaming convention with a good friend of ours. Leaves Friday morning so he is giving me a quiet and peaceful weekend I may end up going out to dinner with the wife of DH's friend (her husband is going to the Con with DH) and our kids. She is a dear friend of mine and her kids adore my DS. He is one of their regular babysitters and they love any chance to hang out with him. He is good natured enough to visit with them.
If we don't go out to dinner with my friend and her kids than DS and I will have a mom/son date night and most likely watch a super cheesy 80's movie since it's the Boy's turn to pick.
No presents- we don't really do that but I will get a card for DH and DS and they will get cards from me

I should probably try to remember to get DH a card or something, he always gets me something even when we agree we're not going to. Crap, now I have to go back into a store....

If you are related to the Capones, please try to avoid any Valentines Day massacre. Chocolate is always a better deal than bullets!

For DH a few days snowmobiling in deep snow.
For me a battery operated snow blower to blow debris off courts quicker. We are tired of brooming.

I got him a rice cooker and a log table for his front porch. He got me a dozen roses, said he couldn't afford two dozen. He wanted to take me to dinner but I refused because it is a holiday and over crowded.
He gets tomorrow off for a presidential birthday so will take Thursday and Friday off too to make 5 day weekend. So we decided he will pick up my flowers tonight, bring them to my house. I work Wednesday and Thursday so will go to his house Thursday or Friday for the rest of the weekend. I told him he can make me Valentines day dinner at his house.

DD has a dentist appointment near his work so he's going to leave early and we're going out for an early dinner somewhere before he goes bowling. We give each other cards and he usually gets me flowers. I got him some scotch last year and he seemed to like it so maybe I'll get him another bottle this year!

Some kind of Audi convertible. An A5 I think it's called. I'm sure in theory it's mine, in reality, he's going to drive it!!!

We aren't buying each other gifts...we don't normally for V-day. But our apartment complex is having a Valentines event that we are going to. Free dinner, dessert, a movie, and door prizes! I am actually pretty excited. I love free things!

I thought we did this already...DH got a Kimber 84L Montana, 280 Ackley Improved rifle...a Leupold scope, bipod etc....
I should be getting a Sig P238 tribal, though he is having issues with paying $619 for a "f*cking 380" when his stuff cost us over 2K. oh and he's getting whiskey...
so guns and booze, what could possibly go wrong there.

That's okay. Didn't we have a poster whose wife asked for wood floors instead of an engagement ring? Cool.

No gifts here, just cards. And we may see Monuments Men at the movies or go to a local museum. We talked about what foods we would really enjoy for V-day and decided on some tamales from our local tamale place (probably chicken with salsa verde and pork with mole), plus guacamole and chips, with pan dulce from the panaderia next door for dessert and a really nice wine, possibly a Pinot Noir or Chardonnay.

I don't have a SO, so no flowers for me . But that's ok, because I'm 7 months into my 5 year plan. Sell house, retire, move to NC. I've decided I might find someone to do things with after I move, but I'm not upsetting my 5 year plan, so no SO. DS loves Martian the Martin and he had a mug with him on it, and the handle broke. I bought him a new one. Dove chocolates also. He was supposed to be home from college on Sunday but that fell through. He asked me to send him some chocolate dipped chips to give to his GF (he had some other things for her too). I had DD send them in the mail yesterday, and they made it to him today. He loved the mug! DD probably won't get her gift because the lady making it was behind, plus the weather. I had a dog tag made (she's in the Army and just came back from deployment) with an etching of her new puppy on it and "Della's mommy" on it. She sent it out yesterday, but as of this evening the tracking shows no info. She and I are going out of town on Friday morning with the pups to my soon to be retirement area. She said my Valentine's present was she's taking me out to dinner

I bought myself a second L.L.Bean fleece blanket. It will be warm, and snuggly but doesn't snore or hog the covers.

We are not doing gifts per se, but DH got me a red mini rose bush which is beautiful now, and we will plant with our other mini roses in the spring. He has a card for me, and I have a card for him and a cute litle $ 1.50 glittery flowerpot with a mini sparkly heart " flower " growing in it. He saw the one I pickedo out for DD and really liked it, so I'm sure he'll like his surprise flowerpot, too.
We're going to lunch at P.F. Chang's.
