Every year on this day, candies, flowers, and gifts are presented in the name of St. Valentine. Why is February the month of romance to us? Well history will offer you several legends and traditions all leading up to what we have today – and what we have today is pretty pathetic folks. It has almost become hated by single Americans and is generally viewed as a waste of time and effort. I ask you to reconsider.
I like to view Valentine’s Day as more of a nod to romance and to all those who fought and died in the name of Love. There was a time when such expressions of love were forbidden and those caught doing so were severely punished and sometimes put to death. Imagine not being able to show affection – just terrible.
So embrace our celebration of freedom and eat some chocolate, make a homemade card, or just hug someone next to you. And if you are single, fret not, you can still partake in all the enjoyment of Valentine’s Day with friends and family. They love you too.

After I get off of work, I'm going to relax with my wife and watch movies.
I am picking up pizza from Dominos and then we are going to get into those chocolate Turtles I picked up yesterday. mmmmmm. We'll probably just hang out and make each other laugh. It's cold tonight so I have absolutely no problems with staying in.

Pretty much an uneventful Valentines Day. School was canceled, went sledding with my friends. Most romantic thing all day was just a little flirting.
Not really -- an uneventful day would be more like being stuck in a full body cast in some hospital somewhere.
Cheer up.
Cheer up.

I wasn't complaining...
It's Vaentine's Day and all hell is breaking loose outside. The Blizzard we're getting here is crazy. My landlords snowblower broke down and i stepped out from my apartment to 2 feet of snow on the sidewalk.
It's freaking cold where I am. I can't wait for summer time to come.

I'm looking forward to summer as well.
Well, in honor of Singles Awareness Day, I'm planning on eating a bag of Doritos and watching movies until I keel over...or something like that.
I won't say too much...but, mine turned out to be the most incredible, perfect thing I could've imagined.

I bought a teddy bear, cut its belly open, pulled out all the stuffing, inserted chocolates, and sewed it back up with pink ribbon. My wife got a kick out of it.
I live with my aunt now. But because she likes to watch her figure I ate all her V day candies.
Talking She works at a school so she gots a lot of nice things from her co workers and the students.

Ironic....
yeah, it sucks when you are getting it regularly and all that comes to a halt.
