So, Valentine's Day. Do you celebrate? Or do you consider it a
commercialized American ripoff?

i always try to not focus so much on gifts; we rarely have money for such things, but besides that; i don't want to cheapen our relationship by reducing it to how good a gift i got this year.
we usually just set it aside to spend together; that's the best--and a rare privilege these days.

I've always said that gifts are different when you are married. That is MY money also that is buying MY gift. I don't wamt my hubby wasting OUR money even if it is for me. A nice Valentine's Day Card and a chance to get out without the kids is enough for me. (Although a small thing of chocolates would be nice too. But I probably wouldn't be able to enjoy them with six longing eyeballs staring at me.)
Daniel
call me
i like the ideas about reaching out to "singles" etc. v day can be pretty depressing for a lot of people.
also, for you moms, my mom started getting me valentine's day presents in highschool--something simple like special pen or a special meal or stationery or whatever.....
they were so simple, but they always meant so much; those are the main ones i remember.
i think every little girl any age would like that, and it would help her to remember that valentine's day doesn't have to be about having a boyfriend.
The legend of the holiday has been based on Saint Valentine. However, scholars are unable to determine exactly who he was. But, the legends grew. One legend of St. Valentine's history is that when Emperor Claudius of Rome outlawed marriage of young males (because single men make better warriors) St. Valentine defied the Emperor and married them secretly (approx. 270 A.D.) A more romantic legend is that when St. Valentine was imprisoned and sentenced to death (for helping prisoners escape the Roman prisons) he fell in love with the daughter of his captor and sent her the first "valentine" as an expression of his love (he supposedly signed it "from your Valentine").

But I must have chocolate.
does anybody really get diamonds for V day? I mean maybe an anniversary.... but sheesh
My dad usually gave me a chocolate heart and then ate half of it
most of us will be at church this V day anyway.... bring your little Scooby Doo (will ru be my rarentine) cards and pass them out
true dat, kat
no no katwoman
i cut and paste
What is going on Valentines day @ Church?
My favorite Valentine gift used to be when I would get an actual rose bush to plant in my yard.
Valentines day is the best holiday ever, next to the month of March.
March is the best.....
I think that the best gifts have been ones that took alot of thought on the giver and gifts that took action.......
Like , out to dinner and bowling or hand made cards and breakfast in bed and dinner being made for you etc.
Those are the best kind of gifts.
Foot rub, bath drawen, dinner and DISHES done ..

My parents get back on Saturday.
Or they may get back tomorrow. All I know is that they were to be gone 16 days.
Terri,
Did you get my previous blog about tonight?
I would fly to TX to see Kerry Kirkwood on V Day, but since Radiant will be there, forget it! Those guys are all bums.

when cravings for sweets hits you, 1. drink water and take a deep breath (after you swallow) and go for a relaxing or brisk walk.
or
2. give in and enjoy
Vday 2/14 memories:
* as long as I lived at home my mom always got me a surprise
*when I was a young mother of 3 sons I had a sweet friend (Marti Cook) bring me roses and a card.
Oh Daniel, please forgive me. I didn’t realize you still played with Radiant. I guess not all of you are bums then.
Hi all. Pat (Don's mom) is napping so I thought I would give you an update. She is having a very hard time swallowing and so she chokes on liquids and foods. She has lost a great deal of weight and today we have spent taking up her clothes so they will fit her again. Please pray for healing and that she will be able to swallow normally. Also, pray that she will give her life to the Lord. Thank you for your prayers. I love you.
You got it BeeBow....
God is going to use you.
You have such a sweetness about you and He will use that servants heart of yours to reveal Himself to her.
I miss you!

from Julie-
And Katwomen.....married or not married, I have always loved to have my feet rubbed. And when I am pregnant, which has been most of my marriage, Tim rubs them for me more often. I love it!
But on V-day......I got the ultimate man. Wasted holiday or not, he really loves honoring all the women in his life. Every year he gets his Mom, Grandma, and Me flowers. Sometimes he has them delivered, and sometimes, he delivers them. It is always an awesome holiday for me....I love flowers. My thought is that people should send flowers as much as they can while they are alive, cause what good are they at my funeral??? I mean I cant enjoy them then.....so send them on! Tim is fairly good about this, so good that we have an ongoing charge account at a local florist....we are all on a first name basis. I cant wait til V-day....but this year I might just be in the hospital. Hopefully that just means more slowers to welcome Jenna? But, until then....I am still pregnant.
Oh and not really a huge fan of chocolate, except the ocassional turtle or two.
