This year I got chocolate, so I'm good with Valentine's day.

I've only ever had one really romantic Valentine's, a few that "sucked beyond the telling" and mostly it's a day, only. Still bracing for February bad luck, though.
My grandfather died on Valentine's day when I a little girl. Kinda put a damper on the holiday for a decade or so. But now I think of it as a day to make others smile.
Like most holidays for me, V-day is an excuse to cook a more-elaborate-than-usual dinner. (Unless (1) DH surprises me with something, in which case it's an excuse to go out or (2) I decide I'm too tired, in which case it's an excuse to order takeout. I'm easy that way.)
Vday has always been uneventful or sad-making for me. So far, there's no real plans this year, but I don't think it will be sad-making.
Also, I'm in the camp that Cheney shot a guy just to see if he could get away with it.
I LOVE Valentine's Day, even though I never have a valentine. I am so looking forward to handing out my Hello Kitty themed valentine's day bags on candy tomorrow!
Now *that* is what it's supposed to be all about.Yep.
Beej's New Fella sounds a lovely boy.
I have nofuture plans for dinner either tonight or tomorrow. I suppose the social construct won't really matter either way. Having days that mean something beyond the day is lovely but it isn't a mandate.

I think he shot a man in Texas, just to watch him die.

Drat, Tom beat me to it!
Hey ita, email seems to have forsaken me.
Do you have any time to talk tonight? I need to expand your essay, and wanted your thoughts.
