Are you staying home or dining out or going on vacation?, whats up? A movie? Will you introduce a new toy? Plan on getting any chocolates or flowers for your S.O. this year? Whats your plan of attack?
I'd let you know mine, but uh, Mrs. Para reads this message board quite often, LOL, so that won't work. ;D

DH and I don't do Valentines day. We both tend to view it as a load of commercialism. I'd much prefer a gift because DH wants to give it, rather than because commercials tell him to do it. Xmas and birthdays are enough when it comes to 'expected' gifts.
Besides, neither of us are romantic ;-)
Since it falls on Monday, we will probably stay home, unless DW wants to take the whole family out to dinner (where can you feed a family of 6 cheap We spend 20 bucks at MickieD's).

Interesting, nothing too fancy to report so far, huh? LOL!
Well, as I stated on my other board, there are actually certain times of the year that Mrs. Para & I actually to set aside as all out romantic simply because of how impossible our schedules can be so often.
Sometimes its our birthdays, sometimes its our anniversary. Of course, sometimes its good ol' Valentines Day, lol. Maybe someone can post on here and give us ideas too irresistible to not celebrate that day as a love day anyway, LOL!

Para, you'll have to stash my idea away till you have kids.
About once per year, we try to leave the kids with my folks for a weekend. We get a luxury hotel room and do all the things that we used to do before kids.
Stay in bed till 10.30am drinking cups of tea and reading the broadsheet news - uninterrupted. Have an afternoon nap - uninterrupted. Go out for dinner and not have to worry about finding a sitter. Stay out late knowing that you don't have to be awake at 7.30am. And of course, have sex in the daytime.
Mind you, we haven't been able to manage this over the past couple of years because we've been spending far too much on family ski holidays and family beach holidays
Well ... I just found out this morning when I came into work that I need to be in North Carolina Monday night. I was in the process of making some interesting fun plans ....... I had bought Valentines lights (big red lips, 10 bulbs), I ordered something sexy for the DW to wear, I got a card ... I ordered the Teddy Bear ..... but now ... I will be in North Carolina ... she will be here ....
Oh well ... such is life.
