Awe, Diann, you're so much sweeter than I am. Like you, we're all snowed in and I told my husband that was no excuse. He knew Valentine's Day was coming since last year. ;)
Actually, we don't do much anyway. We'll go to supper this weekend but that's as exciting as it gets. If you get the DeBrands, have a maple cream for me. ;)Those are my favorites.
LOL. I read this story too fast and thought you wrote that "he dances around me". I was trying to picture that.
BLOG UPDATE:
I got my chocolate caramel truffles and an e-card!! Whoohoooo!!!!!! It IS a good day!!!
Oh I'm jealous. DeBrand truffles is too far away for me to get any this week with the blizzard raging the last two days. Eat one for me, Di.
No blizzards down here! But it IS freezing--67 and rising! GRIN. Your man sounds like a keeper!
Enjoyed your post. You ALWAYS make me laugh. ALWAYS.
What ARE DeBrands truffles? I've never had one in my life.... therefore I'm sure my husband will forget. of course, he's already forgotten Valentines Day too, but after Diann's post, I can forgive him. I think the exploded car transmission and 3 papers due for his Masters of Div have something to do with it. At least one of my youth kids from church remembered. She left 1/2 dozen roses with a big glittery heart on my back door. I love my "kids"!!
From a warmly touched youth director's heart....me
Happy Valentine's Day, you all!!
Well, my husband isn't much of a romantic. He can be prompted to bring flowers or take me to dinner - when I remind him. LOL! But he's a wonderful father and a fabulous husband. He would just rather clean the house to show he loves me than buy me flowers and chocolate. :-) Since cleaning isn't my favorite thing, it works.
However, yesterday I said to him, "You know, you don't really need to bring me flowers ever again. I think they're nice, but I'd rather have a good book instead. Flowers die - books don't." So, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping he'll remember to stop there on his way home from work! And bring chocolate, of course!
Happy Valentines Day, everyone!
My husband and I are both perfectionists, which means we are both terrible at gifts. Receiving and giving them. Now I just tell him what I want and point him in the right direction. Last year, he bought me a watch from BlueNile.com and this year sunglasses that I've been waiting for for a year. Kaenon's, they're light and perfect year round. See? Everybody's happy. I got him a card because he hates to get gifts. Seriously. Isn't that weird? LOL
Shauna, a good book is a GREAT idea for Valentine's Day! A LOVE story, of course. *g*
Hubby read the blog, and since we're snowed in, he's been sending me e-cards every hour all day long! LOL!
As you know we have four granddaughters and we just found out TODAY that my daughter is pregnant with a BOY!! What fun!!!
Di--Yay! A boy to mix it up with all those girls! What a nice Valentine for you!
You and your hubby sound just like you and mine. My guy is SO GOOD to me every day that artificially forcing the point seems so...artificial. I, too, have put the kabosh on flowers, and this year--for the first time ever--cards.
Books, however, both of us love. So, I have to admit, we did exchange books to celebrate the day. And coffee!!

I REALLY need to do some self-editing!!!
"You and your hubby sound just like you and mine..."
Yikes!!! Don't tell the fellows, OK?

Yep, separated at birth. Us, too. I had to laugh at mine today (hubby, I mean).
This morning, he let me sleep in (meaning he was quiet after he got up and didn't bang around in the kitchen) and when I finally walked into the family room, he wished me happy Valentine's Day.
hen he looked at me out of the corner of his eye and asked, "We didn't do anything ... did we?"
The speculative sound in his voice nearly made me laugh. Poor baby. But I could answer him honestly. No we didn't - meaning I didn't get him a card or a present, and so he hadn't let me down. ;)
To elaborate ... my dh is English - from across the pond. He wasn't raised with all the folderol we do here in the states over holidays, so it doesn't come natural for him.
That's okay. I just go to the mall and buy myself whatever I'd like. :o)) Works for me.
I love this!! We've never been big on celebrating Valentine's Day, it should be happening year round, right? I'd rather have the time committment than the flowers and cards. The chocolate, well, that would be nice, but not neccesary. Just the time.
lol, I like that you pick out cards that you WOULD buy and show them to eachother, that's funny.
Yummy! I got chocolate too! And cards. :)
