We do, just a little. Dinn...(1) Celebrate or Not? We do, just a little. Dinner out, perhaps, definitely cards. I have always stressed to Leslie that Dad's give a gift to their daughters for Valentines. My Dad always got me something, just from him. I'll get something for Jake, I think a little basket this year, with miscellaneous stuff in it. <BR/>(2) Most Romantic Gift Received – My spa day gift certificate was great, but I don't know about romantic. Thoughtfulness gets to me. Like when we stop at a Quick Mart and everybody loads up (we spend 25 bucks; it's just ridiculous) and Leslie knows I'm not crazy about drinks in a can or a bottle so he comes back to the car with a Milo's Tea and a cup with ice in it (and a straw). Not romantic I know, but the little things are very sweet. He did surprise me one year with diamond earrings, that was pretty special. How can you top that book thing? 100 things? That would take some time. Did he think that up all by himself? Gary has that artistic side. And the guitar, that makes me go awwwww. Major deposits in the love bank, go Ryan!<BR/><BR/>(3) Worst Date — I had a disastrous date in high school that I don't even want to talk about. <BR/><BR/> (4) If you could tell your significant other what you’d REALLY like for Valentine’s Day, what would you tell him/her? I'm a simple gal, probably dinner & a movie. Movies are a major treat because Leslie doesn't like to go and I Love to! <BR/><BR/>(5) Complete the sentence: “Love means never having to say _______” I apologize for the irreversible gravitational pull on my body & it's only gonna get worse. <BR/><BR/> (6) Best Chocolate - a weird favorite is the batter from cooking brownies, everybody wants the bowl at my house, why worry about raw eggs? <BR/><BR/>(7) Dream Valentine’s Menu - Just open up that Olive Garden menu and take your pick. Actually I am addicted to their portobello mushroom ravioli with a sun-dried tomato sauce, oh, and baked,stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer & lots of salad and breadsticks. But, for atmosphere I would like an adults only kind of place where everybody dresses kind of nice, subdued lighting. Maybe Ruths Chris? I've never been there but that's how I envision it. Any suggestions for that?<BR/><BR/> (8) Most Romantic Movie - Out of Africa, first and foremost, but man, major sad ending. I've just discovered Pride & Prejudice and really liked it. <BR/><BR/> (9) If you had a Conversation Heart that said how you were feeling right now, it would say - ROADTRIP, I am off tomorrow; we're taking Jake to Huntsville and I am really looking forward to all of us takin' a little drive, plus a DAY OFF.<BR/><BR/>(10) Pink or Red? I have a whole red, pink section in my closet, but I like the way I look better in red or softer pinks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716540.post-1170859069944062612007-02-07T08:37:00.000-06:002007-02-07T08:37:00.000-06:00LOL @ The little one drawing in the bowl!!

Only because I have to. <BR/>(2) Most Romantic Gift Received – An earring that belonged to my now wife, then girlfriend that I really wanted. She gave it to me adorning a very cute teddy bear.<BR/><BR/>(3) Worst Date — The date that never happened. I had a huge crush on a girl in college. I asked her out. She said yes. I went to pick her up in her dorm room and she answered in tears and said she couldn't go and couldn't say why. Come to find out, she had just found out she was pregnant by her former boyfriend.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>(4) If you could tell your significant other what you’d REALLY like for Valentine’s Day, what would you tell him/her?

We celebrate just a little. ...(1) Celebrate or Not? We celebrate just a little. We usually give each other a card and maybe a little something. We give the girls a small gift and usually all go out to eat. Our anniversary is February 9th (Friday...5 years!) and we usually celebrate that so there's not much left for Valentines! <BR/><BR/>(2) Most Romantic Gift Received This isn't really "romantic", but since we've been together, I have mentioned a few times to Ryan that one day I would like to learn to play the guitar. I've always wanted to. A few months ago, one evening, he brought one home that he had bought for me. He said, "you had just mentioned it and I remembered and thought you might want to learn how to play." He really does listen to me! wow! Also, on a more romantic note, Ryan will sometimes get me flowers, but he will leave them in my car for me to see when I'm leaving for work, or he will send them here for me to enjoy. And...I absolutely love the 100 reasons book idea! <BR/><BR/>(3) Worst Date ???<BR/><BR/>(4) If you could tell your significant other what you’d REALLY like for Valentine’s Day, what would you tell him/her? Wow...I was just thinking about that this morning. I would really like to come home from work, sit down on the couch and rest, while someone else got supper ready, washed clothes, washed the dishes and got everything ready for the next day, while I was soaking my feet in my foot massager! <BR/><BR/>(5) Complete the sentence: “Love means never having to say _______” ‘Will you go with me?’<BR/><BR/>(6) Best Chocolate - Chocolate covered cherries or strawberries, Dillettante chocolate covered blueberries, Hot fudge pudding cake...mmm mmm good!<BR/><BR/>(7) Dream Valentine’s Menu - Either Logans, or Up The Creek...depending on if I'm in the mood for steak or seafood. Logans - First, peanuts! Then maybe some fried onions. A steak cooked medium with a loaded baked potato and something chocolate for dessert. Up The Creek - A sampler appetizer platter and either fried shrimp or catfish with a baked potato and once again...something chocolate for dessert! <BR/><BR/>(8) Most Romantic Movie - Don't watch a whole lot of those kinds of movies, but I agree with the "Somewhere In Time". Oldie but goodie! <BR/><BR/>(9) If you had a Conversation Heart that said how you were feeling right now, it would say - Spring will be here soon, with cold mornings and warm afternoons...my favorite! <BR/><BR/>(10) Pink or Red? I really like Hot Pink right now (especially paired with brown or black) I agree wholeheartedly! I love those hot pink and brown tote bags from Lifeway...have you seen them? Cute, cute. They say "Love Like Jesus". I was thinking of getting my girls one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716540.post-1170778591046055912007-02-06T10:16:00.000-06:002007-02-06T10:16:00.000-06:00I'll need a week off to do that list...but I loved...I'll need a week off to do that list...but I loved yours....it's funny, I just signed off on my last post by telling you all how much I love you too.<BR/><BR/>We must ALL be in love<BR/>HVDsavvycityfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123857662106999560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716540.post-1170777166176033262007-02-06T09:52:00.000-06:002007-02-06T09:52:00.000-06:00LOL at little Scout.

Will and I celebrated our first Valentine's Day together 12 years ago by signing a lease on a house so Valentine's Day always holds a special place in our hearts. With it in the middle of the week this year, we'll probably do the major celelbrating the weekend after since it's a 3-day weekend becuase of President's Day. <BR/><BR/>(2) Most Romantic Gift Received – The roses I received at work on our first Valentine's Day.

And have some great wine with the meal too.<BR/><BR/>(8) Most Romantic Movie - I love <I>The Notebook</I> and <I>Say Anything</I> is a classic, as is <I>Out of Africa</I><BR/><BR/>(9) If you had a Conversation Heart that said how you were feeling right now, it would say - "I wish I was still snuggled in my warm bed"<BR/><BR/>(10) Pink or Red?
