I remember when I used to work in a big office building downtown, and I sat by the window. Delivery truck after delivery truck would pull up with huge floral & balloon deliveries, and I used to hope & pray that one would be for me...Yes, it was both a "I want that" and "I want everyone ELSE to see I got it". But alas, I married someone who I love dearly, but who thinks the day is just created by Hallmark, the floral industry and the jewelry folks to make people feel guilty and/or disappointed. He also has been known to say, "I don't need a specific day to show you & tell you how much I love you!" So I guess it boils down to what's more important--one day or the rest of my life? I choose the second one :-) k~ My college roomie & I used to wear all black in protest, whenever this hateful day would come around–of course that was before either of us had sig others :-)

If we even go out for dinner it is usually very informal. When I mentioned maybe taking Lacy to Panda for dinner, I was laughed and scoffed at by a certain male co-worker of ours. Nonetheless, NAY!
