We are nearing that hallmark day, the day of st valentine. And I feel I need to confess!
I am fully of the opinion that romance and love and declarations of either should NOT be confined to a single day. I think the day is hugely overrated and i agree that it is highly commercialised etc etc.
Now the confession part. If dave were to forget valentines day, I’d be angry, hurt and upset! He is very aware of this irrational facet of my otherwise sane and serene personality! (please insert winking emoticon here!)
We have the added pressure of our birthdays being close together and also to valentines day. So we don’t go mad or anything. It is at times like this I wish I could make something beautiful for dave, as it is, I’m not sure heart shaped earrings are really his thing!!
So, how do you celebrate this pink and red day? Do you have that same irrationality as me?
Also, if anyone has any ideas of unique ways of showing someone you love them plead comment away!!
I’m exactly the same. I think the day is overrated and I resent paying so much money for cards and gifts etc, when I do little cards and presents and romantic meals all year round.
HOWEVER… if I didn’t get flowers on Valentines Day, OMG there’d be hell to pay!
(PS I think you should give him some heart shaped earrings, just to see how he reacts!)
Hehe
He’s just said he definately doesn’t want heart shaped earrings!
Thats exactly how I feel!!! I love the suprises and spur of the moment “romance” to prescribed stuff.
Maybe I should put a heart shaped pair of earrings up for grabs on my blog!! What do you reckon?
It was my wedding anniversary at the end of January and I celebrated by going to Birmingham to a radiotherapy conference (again – 3rd year in a row now). Nick celebrated by going out with his best man, getting pissed and then getting escorted out of a night club. For Valentines I’m going off to Milton Keynes for an OU weekend, Nick is staying home, sober and with the dog. I love him, he loves me, two days out of 365 don’t really make a difference… though a box of Hotel Chocolat chocolates would be nice 🙂
