Valentine's day is fast approaching. Do you guys have any big plans?
My wife and I have both been so busy with buying a new house and moving that it kind of snuck up on us. So, instead of buying each other gifts (feels like I'm walking in to a classic v-day trap here), we are just going to go out for dinner and watch a production of Thoroughly Modern Millie. I have no idea what it is about but I'll probably like it. I am easily entertained.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
I -could- sit at home and get drunk. I could also do homework, watch TV, or **********. If I was really, really bored, I could go to a bad production of the ****** Monologues. I will probably stick with the first four options.
This is the third Valentine's Day hubbys been away...I have no memory of what I did with myself the last two times. *shrug*
Valentines Day is the most horrid, disgusting and retarded day of the year. It's a pseudo holiday created just to make sure Hallmark makes some extra money...
...That being said, I will spend the day getting stoned and Drinking...

Valentine's Day was probably imported into North America in the 19th century with settlers from Britain. In the United States, the first mass-produced valentines of embossed paper lace were produced and sold shortly after 1847 by Esther Howland (1828 – 1904) of Worcester, Massachusetts. Her father operated a large book and stationery store, and she took her inspiration from an English valentine she had received. (Since 2001, the Greeting Card Association has been giving an annual "Esther Howland Award for a Greeting Card Visionary".)

Founded in 1910 by 18-year-old Joyce Hall selling postcards, by 1915 the company was known as Hall Brothers and sold valentines and Christmas cards. In 1917, Hall and his brother Rollie invented modern wrapping paper when they ran out of traditional colored tissue paper.
In 1928, the company adopted the name "Hallmark", after the symbol used by goldsmiths in London in the 14th century, and began printing the name on the back of every card and promoting it in ad campaigns, a practice the company continues to the present day.

Looks like we can blame Esther and Britain
I'm going to wake my wife up early (4:30am) and drive her to the hospital so she can have surgery on her neck.
I'll then sit in the waiting room for 3-4 hours while the doctor is mutating her spine.
That's romance!

We can't afford to do anything special, so I'll probably get her some flowers from the grocery store and take her out to eat at the diner.

Best of luck with the surgery, Aegis.
Hopefully I'll be out on a second or third date with the girl I'm seeing (the first one is friday night). But I'll have to make sure I don't ***** up the first one before I start planning the rest.

I'm going to do the same thing that I've done the past few years on February 14th: sit at home and ponder ways to make the rest of the world feel as angry as I do, both about my terminal bachelorhood, and the stupidity of another Hallmark holiday.

No plans here that I know of. When you have a child and no sitter, it makes it a bit more difficult.
Wah, fu[b][/b]ckers. Get some construction paper (those of you with kids can even use glitter), a marker and spend >$10 on either carnations (for the ladies) or **** (for the guys), and voilá. It's not how much you spend. It's taking the time out to say I love you, and here, I thought of you today. How hard is that? Hell, it can even be done for free.
Blah blah made up holiday blah blah whiny cnuts
** Edited to clarify that it's not that I'm particularly enamored of the holiday, I just hate half-fasting.

I'm cooking.
Appetizer:
Arugala and pear salad.
Pinot Grigio, Santa Margherita.
Main course:
Pan seered Salmon in Olive oil, with a hand made spice blend of Paprika, cayenne, salt, pepper, marjoram and a pinch of ground bay leaves. (makes the salmon a nice deep red crust, and compliments the fish's natural flavor very nicely).
"Pink" Pesto made with Basil, Pine Nuts, Parmegianno Regianno, garlic, and a small amount of tomato sauce (which turns it pink!).
Home made twice baked potatoes. Bake em normally once, scoop the flesh out, making a bowl, combine the scooped potato with butter, sour cream, crumbled bacon, chives, and cheddar cheese, put the mix back in the potato, and bake it for a few more minutes.
Steamed Asparagus, dressed with a very simple lemon vinaigrette.
Merlot, Bogle.
Dessert:
Red Velvet cake.
Ice Wine or Rieseling - Not sure which one yet, I really need to go get this one today tho...
Table setting is simple, but my wife and I have a set of nice white dishes, and gold chargers, and some small red table napkins. I'll get a few nice flowers for a table arrangement, and voila.

It won't cost you (nor give Hallmark) a thin dime to tell your beloved the following:
Entrance Antiphon
Here is a true martyr who shed his blood for Christ.
His judges could not shake him by their menaces, and so he won through to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Opening Prayer
All powerful, ever living God, You gave St Valentine the courage to witness to the Gospel of Christ, even to the point of giving his life for it.
By his prayers help us to endure all suffering for love of you and to seek you with all our hearts, for you alone are the source of life.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son....
First Reading
A reading from the letter of St James. James 1:2-4, 12
You will always have your trials, but when they come, try to treat them as a happy privilege; you understand that your faith is only put to the test to make you patient but patience too is to have its practical results so that you will become more fully developed, complete, with nothing missing.
Happy the man who stands firm when trials come. He has proved himself and will win the prize of life, the crown that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
This is the word of the Lord.
Gospel
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John. John 12:24-26
As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy be complete.
This is my commandment: love one another as I have loved you. A man can have no greater love than to lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do what I command you. I shall not call you servants anymore, because a servant does not know his master’s business; I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have learned from my Father.
You did not choose me, no, I chose you; and I commissioned you to go out and to bear fruit, fruit that will last; and then the Father will give you anything you ask him in my name.
What I command you, is to love one another.
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Prayers of the Faithful
Lord, as we come to praise and worship you as Lord of our lives on this, the feast of St Valentine, help us to imitate his love for you and for each other. We ask you to listen and to grant our prayers:
We pray for all who have entered the Sacrament of Marriage: that they may be strengthened through prayer and the sacraments; that they may be a witness to the world of the joy of their lives together. Lord,...
For those who have recently become engaged: we thank God for them and pray for them that the Lord will help them in practical ways as they prepare for their lives together and that they will be blessed with good health and material blessings. Lord,...
We hear of many for whom marriage has broken down or where sickness or sadness seems to be their lot: Lord, you have promised we are never on our own, be with those who suffer and grant them your healing in their painful situation. Lord,...
We pray that the ideals of Christian Marriage may always be preserved: those ideals which value friendship, life, mutual help and love. May our homes be as that of the Holy Family – open to God and neighbour. Lord,...
Finally, let us pray that, like the seed that falls to the ground and dies, we may die daily to our own selfishness so that the true wheat of love may grow in our lives for others to see and take heart. Lord,...
Let us pray,
Lord, home is where love is meant to be and where you tell us you are present. Help us to make that presence real in our homes and communities by banishing evil and installing instead your grace. We make this prayer through Christ, our Lord.
Prayer over the gifts
God of love, pour out your blessing on our gifts and make us strong in faith, the faith which St Valentine professed by the shedding of his blood.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Prayer after Communion
Lord, we are renewed by the mystery of the Eucharist.
By imitating the fidelity of St Valentine, and by our patience,
may we come to share the eternal life you have promised.
[b]We ask this in the name of Jesus, the Lord.[b]

Isn't Valentine's Day when we celebrate Al Capone's massacre of seven of Bugs Moran's men and breaking the back of the North Side gang?
