My mom and dad dropped off big dish of chicken parmigana, pasta and gift bags for my kids this morning. They are the best and always have me covered.

I did buy him 2 bottles of really good wine for me (I mean him)--so I can crack those open if I get disappointed. Ha!

Happy Valentine's Day, OP!


You're a lucky lady! What awesome parents you have. I'm jealous!

I like your sentiment pp. For the others with the blues...do something for yourself and try not to sulk. I know it is hard, but try it and you'll feel better.

CPAs doing audits and corporate returns work late every day from January - April. I am married to one. I am the sister to one. I am the sister-in-law to another.

There is nowhere in OP's original post that she told her husband she had made these plans. It could have been her surprise waiting for him.

If your spouse said she planned to make a special dinner and make fire and your response was that you had to work late then something is wrong.

Hmmm...I don't know...people like us who are going out of town this weekend. My DH will probably work late so he can get his work done before the weekend. And I'll be up late packing and getting everything ready for the trip. We've never really made a big deal about valentime's day. I mean, I think we tried one year and realized you get squashed into some overpriced restaurant. And then we went back to not celebrating it.

Those were from 2011 my dear.


LOL

It probably could have been from 1921 and the same sentiment would still apply... about feeling Valentines Day Blues.

Look at the year. It is from 2011. Who on earth has the energy to dig this up, I don't know.
