I've only learned about this restaurant this past month because my sister has a friend who literally does a chicken dance when she gets to eat there. Such a midwestern thing! <BR/><BR/>I think it's only fun to celebrate V-day if you don't feel any pressure or expectations.I think all holidays are turning out that way for me lately.bandofbrothershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611181345258921571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31174985.post-40109982063684594512008-02-14T20:48:00.000-06:002008-02-14T20:48:00.000-06:00My girls loved loved loved their cards...and carri...My girls loved loved loved their cards...and carried them around the REST of the day. :)Jaymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11267816300487528862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31174985.post-494090364913459122008-02-14T17:24:00.000-06:002008-02-14T17:24:00.000-06:00I have never expected anything and I am often surp...I have never expected anything and I am often surprised even on Valentine's Day. But the best is when he goes out and brings me wild flowers or finds, peels and cuts up a peach for me. Something spontaneous like that.<BR/>As I said we're not together today.<BR/><BR/>I did give my grands and my daughter something.<BR/>I left J a card that plays Still The One and a heartshaped paperweight with a photo of us to find when he gets home tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>I don't think this is Hallmark's holiday. Its been around longer than that. They just take advantage of it. But tell me this, why do people wait until the last minute to buy a card.<BR/>Mama BearLove Bears All Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091529156071883508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31174985.post-40217285638320866862008-02-14T13:42:00.000-06:002008-02-14T13:42:00.000-06:00Hallmark's website is having trouble keeping up wi...Hallmark's website is having trouble keeping up with the traffic they are getting today too! I made G's gifts (I'll have a post about it tomorrow) and card, just for something fun to do. I told him I didn't want him to send me flowers today- too much hype & too much money. I agree that I would rather he send or bring me something some other day just to surprise me.suezquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888150941577953365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31174985.post-73622721515104675802008-02-14T12:52:00.000-06:002008-02-14T12:52:00.000-06:00I agree with you, Shell.

But, I do enjoy sending cute cards to my nieces and nephews and taking time in the middle of the week to have a nice dinner with The Colonel...but it has become a bit commercial, hasn't it?Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799379433865059083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31174985.post-58356566636492039302008-02-14T11:46:00.000-06:002008-02-14T11:46:00.000-06:00i am SO not a fan of Valentine's Day.

I never understood why we make a big deal this one day of the year when we are supposed to love our loved one each and every day. <BR/><BR/>Besides, it's that what an anniversary is for? <BR/><BR/>I guess I would much rather have my loved one do something nice for me totally at random, rather than because Hallmark told him to.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm just heartless, but I never have seen the point of this Hallmark holiday.maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05611064901848053714noreply@blogger.com
