I really had to think about this one. V-day was always a non issue.
Best V-day-I'm still waiting for that one.
Gosh, I really think I need to get out of the house more!

I have been alone for the past 3 or 4 so they have been shall we say non-eventful. I don't really remember any bad ones. But I don't really remember any really great ones - maybe I want to have amnesia? Or a clean slate! LOL!!

But this one is already special because my son just gave me three presents that he made for me along with the loveliest card! And we had a really nice home-made dinner together. Tomorrow I am visiting his school with home-made cookies for the kids to decorate (since I made them he can eat them - he has a peanut allergy).

I don't think about my "worst" things very much any more. I like to dwell on the good memories. Ty called me from somewhere in the desert last Valentine's day, it was nice to be remembered. He also sent me email this year. We'll always love each other in some fashion, I think.


As far as Valentine's day there aren't many great memories yet. I'm counting on this being my best Valentine's Day ever. I'm having lunch with

Hmmm... I don't have a lot to offer here. I've never made much out of Valentines.


I can tell you my WORST was the first one J and I had as a couple. Because I thought for once I WOULD make something big out of it. I got the wrong man for that. He did get me a card. But almost didn't come to see me that night (was supposed to take me to dinner) because it was SNOWING. He hated to go out and put us "In danged" by driving in the snow. I took that as a pathetic excuse to not do something with me, because we're both from the midwest and snow is a way of LIFE for crying out loud. He ended up coming over, but my sister was already there to babysit. And she wouldn't take a hint and leave. So, after we fought (one of our first fights I think) we were TRYING to make up, but she just wouldn't leave. Annoying. Never did get to be alone that time. LOL


Don't usually get much in the way of gifts for VDay. It's more

Worst Valentine's Day was when I broke up with my first boyfriend right before Valentine's. Other than that, I've been alone for most of them or the day was not that eventful (unless you count the Valentine's that I got pregnant with my son, hooray!)

I am having my best Valentine's right now. Saturday night, my SO took me to a nice (very expensive) Italian restaurant. The whole thing was romantic. And, we saw Robert Duvall there. Kind of funny.

He gave me a dozen long-stemmed red roses. Tonight he's coming over for pizza. We did most of our celebrating over the weekend, but we feel compelled to see each other at least for a bit today.

So far, best would be back (way back haha) when I was like 17 and this guy I was "friends" with who liked me romantically but I was too stupid to realize at the time I liked him too, got all dressed up, got me a cute stuffed animal and card and a rose and took me to dinner. He was the first guy to ever do anything romantic for me.

Worst, hmmm, I'm not sure. I've had some really pathetic ones. And maybe I'm a bad person but hey, to me Valentines Day is important. I don't get much in the way of "flowers and hearts romance" and this is the one day I would like to have it. I haven't gotten anything from my SO yet and he's working til 11. So if I get anything, I guess it'll be when he gets home.

A co-worker and I were talking about roses and how easy that is. We want a guy to think about it a little more then that. Like Tulips, I'd love to have some beautiful tulips to remind me of Spring. But let's face it, unless you write them a note, most guys are going to go for the roses. Cuz that's easy and it's what's on all the commercials.

And I don't want supermarket flowers. His plan, I'm sure, was to go to the supermarket tonight on his way home from work and get me some flowers. At 11? What is going to even be left? I did do the prima donna routine and warn him against this.

I remember having this discussion some time back about "supermarket spur of the moment flowers". haha. I'm sure I'm going to get slammed for my post. ;)

For him, I got a nice card a g.c. to get a new watch because he really needs one. He got one for Christmas from his mom but he hates it. And I've tried to buy him a watch before but I just get totally stressed. I'd rather let him pick it out. So I think when he buys it, I'll steal it and get it engraved so there's something a little more personal there. And my thought was to get all dressed up in some lingerie tonight and be waiting for him for some alone time but I'm feeling like if he comes home empty handed, I'm going to be ticked and then that's going to ruin the mood. Plus we had unbelievably great sex last night, do I really want to try to top that, too much expectation on Valentines Day? haha. So we'll see.

Yes, this has turned into a saga and probably more info than you ever wanted to know!

Tara, don't be stressed - be happy you have a sweetie. Sometimes the retailers all make such a big hub bub about the holidays that many people get sad when they feel they don't have the perfect martha stewart time.

Not all sweeties are good at gift giving. My secretary always has to prompt her husband on what to get her - but then she loves what he gets her because it is what she wants. She even buys it herself sometimes! He is great in every other way - but he is very busy with his work and works hard for her and the kids. He waits until the last minute, too.

I like your idea for surprising him with something fun - that is good, too.

I hope he comes home with tulips, though! Sometimes they can surprise you in a good way!

What was the best V-day you ever had?

This year. I'm with a man that loves me wholely and completely - and lets me know it. We had a wonderful weekend together (full of surprises for me - fully orchestrated by him - dinner out, drinks afterword, dancing, a lovely hotel room, chocolate dipped strawberries, champagne, and room service - but not for Valentine's Day - just because - because he doesn't like Valentine's Day (which makes me laugh - he always does something wonderful that I love - and always tells me "this isn't for Valentine's Day - this is just because I love you!" AH!) and this morning I woke up to two sweet cards. We're cooking dinner together tonight and snuggling up Alex. . .

What was the worst V-day you ever had?

The worst V-day I ever had - - - first - I've never put too much stock into V-Day. And - in general - I'm just not very hard to please. I spent a few of them alone - but they were always fun - my dad and brother always get me something (my dad gets me chocolate - and I just got flowers delivered from my brother - tulips - my favorite - my brother delivered them himself . . . AH!) and I've always went to dinner or hung out with friends . . . one year my mom and I went to our favorite restaurant and knocked out a bottle of wine together - had to call my dad to come get us! LOL!!!!

The worst one I ever had was with TT. It was our very first Valentine's Day together. I was in the first trimester of pregnancy with Alex and had "24 hour" sickness. I couldn't keep anything down for the life of me. The day started out terrible - I was at work - went to lunch in the cafeteria. Felt sick - took off running out of the cafeteria - the Vice President of Security stopped me and said "I REALLY need to talk to you!" I puked. Put my hand directly in front of my mouth - which simply acted as a - splatter screen. All over him, all over me - from my hair to my shoes. Had to go home and change. Had to come back because it was a SUPER busy day at work. Got off work, went to TT's house (we weren't living together at that point in time) and he got me a card and was cooking me a nice dinner. The smell of the carrots almondine cooking (my favorite thing!) sent me running to the bathroom. I managed to eat dinner, but couldn't keep it down. We spent the night on the couch, my sweaty head in his lap with a cool press on my neck - and him watching a movie on cable. NOT romantic. At all.

What was the worst present you ever got?

I've never gotten a bad present for Valentine's.

What was the best?

Best Valentine's present was a beautiful gold Hawaain wedding band from my ex. Stunning. And something that I had commented about numerous months before thinking was beautiful. It was a complete surprise.

annnnddddddddddddddd.............

What the sexiest thing you ever did on that day for your Valentine?

Sexiest thing I ever did for anyone on Valentine's Day was for my ex - and it wasn't appreciated - at all. The opposite, in fact. I have never done anything extraordinary for V Day for TT. I had planned on dressing in a cute little velvet cami and pants that he picked out tonight and sharing champagne with him - - - but our plans have changed. :)
