    I got Dan a big box of chocolate covered cherries, a cute card (what was written in it is none of your business!) Also made reservations at our favorite local restaurant.

    Dan brought home a dozen red roses, a two-kitty-cat card, and a gift certificate from a book store. He also paid for dinner.

    Dinner
    Me: crab cake appetizer, a wonderful pork saltimbocca, mashed potatoes and veges, creme bruelle (shared), two glasses of champagne.
    He: a delicious crab bisque, surf and turf with medium rare petite filet and a crab cake, potatoes, veges, chocolate dipped strawberries (shared), two glasses of cabernet.

    The roses are out on the kitchen table. They're just beautiful. :wub:

    What she got me???.....a reminder of how lucky I am to be married to her :D

    We went out for lunch on the 13th and had the place to ourselves. On the 14th, I bought her a dozen roses and cooked her dinner when she finished work. After dinner we...no, never mind. :D

    I got her $300 to Burke Williams(a day spa), an arrangement of exotic flowers, and a Mylar helium balloon that plays "You're Still the One" every tie you bump it. In addition, I picked up our daughter and had her fed, bathed adn ready for bed when mommy got home - I then made her dinner, also waiting for her when she got home - standard fare, Chicken with spices and cheese casseroled with stuffing, with a side of steamed snap pea pods. :D

    She got me... nada. :huh:

    We got each other cards. He had to work on both the 13th and the 14th and didn't get home until well after 10pm (I was in bed by 9:45). So we're getting together to do something tonight instead. Probably we'll go out for dinner (I honestly wouldn't mind some CPK, mmm pizza) or get takeout, and watch a movie at home and then Lost. I don't feel like cooking today.

    I love my wife dearly but I'm hopelessly unromantic. :(
    "You want roses? Okay, go ahead and buy them if you want." That was me this Valentine's Day.
    Yes, I know it seems cold but there is a history of discussions between my wife and I about spending money on something as ephemeral as roses and she was not really bothered by me saying this.
    We still had a great day together but showed our love in other ways. Imagine what you like. ;)

    LOL...for some reason your post just reminded me of my visit to Ralph's last night for a quick grocery run. There was a line of men at the florist's counter that was at least 15 deep. They all looked unhappy to be there. <_<

    :lol: I am forever thankful that my wife is incredibly low maintenance. :)

    Since I knew nothing about jewelry, I had my mom help me shop for an engagement ring for her. Big mistake. <_< I spent waaay too much on a ring she is now afraid to wear. Ugh. I think about all of the other uses we could have put that money to other than a tiny useless stone that sits in a safe deposit box. :(

    I got her a new iMac (my daughter works for Apple), Flowers, 2 cards one romantic one funny and I cooked dinner. Just in case you think the computer is for me I have my own PowerBook. We have to both be on line at the same time! I also got an iSight for the kids so she could Video chat with them.

    We went out for a nice cuban lunch. My husband doesn't believe in V-day... still I got some tulips and a bottle of my favorite wine. No biggie. We just had our 8 year anniversary on the 2nd and our 1st wedding anniversary is on June 3rd so typically, V-day is just another day for us. :)

    1/2 dozen white roses seemed like a good balance between, "Awww, that's sweet, they're lovely!" and, "You spent $85 on flowers?"

    Sometimes I wish I had the kind of spouse who liked expensive things, it sure would make the shopping easier.

    Wait, I take back that wish!

    Some jewelry, including some more Offerings/sajen (which we both really like) and a little vintage sterling pin of a Jensen-style bird in a heart shape, some more birdlife tapes & DVDs, and two nights with me at the Victorian suite of a B&B on the Cape, with king bed, giant in-room hottub, and a 61" TV viewable from either, to watch the birdlife stuff. She really likes birds.
