My plans involve:
Prep by losing some L.B.s - say
Get new Fun Flirty Outfit (if we go out and that's a big IF)
Speaking of FFO - I need to get my shoes fixed. Need to get my butt over to Joann's, match the beads, and super glue missing beads back on!
If we stay home, then I need to plan dinner. What does J like? Hmmmm
Baked Potatoes
Steak
Scotch
Wine
Brownie Sundaes
Sneak in some yummy/healthy veggie
Flowers on the table
Set the table with candles
Appetizers? Find something cute - Check Pinterest Boards!
Is it cheaper to go out? Def would be easier *sigh*
I must mention how ri-dic-u-lous it is to be planning so much for this holiday. I know J won't be planning at all! Cuz, let's face it, J's not a planner either. He can be, but for some random holiday you can bet that's not happening.
What would be my dream VDay plans?
Well, I would look flawless in every way (perfect hair, bod, and be dressed so super hot that I am dragging J to leave the house - but sometimes I feel like I tend to do that anyway but that's more b/c he just wants to stay home....)
Back on track here...
We would go to some fancy restaurant and dine in a private room. J had already picked out my favorite things to dine on and we enjoy a nice relaxing 2 hour long dinner just talking and enjoying each others company. We would have dessert - TO GO - and have our "Black Dress" song evening.
While we're day dreaming here, he would have also sent me the largest bouquet (borderline obnoxious) of flowers to the office and left me cute little notes throughout the house that morning that expressed his devotion and reminded me of all the little things I do that make him love me more and more each day.
Oh, and after said dinner, once home he reaches over to hand me my present. It's a large Tiffany blue box that I open and *awww* out pops a puppy with a red satin bow a la Lady and the Tramp. This puppy is also potty trained and can use the doggie door like a champ.
Well, it's time to wake up from this peaceful dream. VDAY plans will go a little something like this: come home from work, open up some wine and have some pasta for dinner. Maybe even some garlic bread. I don't doubt there will be dessert, but at least we won't be exhausted the next day after all that wining and dining. It is true - so many days with J seem like Valentine's day. We do have those amazing dinners where we just connect and really appreciate one another. True, many of these dinners happen to be Friday evenings while sitting on the couch, but I will always remember those moments. It is kind of silly to force it just because of the date.
And, it's fun to celebrate with friends/coworkers that day too. And, I enjoy those chalky heart treats that everyone else hates. More for me! I am sure nobody is sad about that.
:)
xoxo,
