I agree with the gal who said she hopes you get filthy stinkin' rich! Serioulsy...it's about time you got some adds on here. You should write a book!

We do the same aimless thing and we haven't even gotten married yet. It's always "what do you wanna do?" (him) and then me "I don't know" but we really just want them to PLAN something romantic!!! These men! At least you got back tickles...

The hubby and I have never done VDay, but this year I decided we have to do something, 'cos we never get any time to ourselves, with a 4-month old and a 2 year old. I'm not too ambitious, though - just got a bottle of pink champagne, which will probably get warm and flat as we run around attending to crises, as we do every night...

2010-02-11T17:44:30.346-08:00

Well, Natalie Lovebrook is just a perfect name. Does the hubs know that it isn't too late? It's a simple legal matter for both of you to change your name. Just saying that possibly, in the years since you got married, he has come to his senses.

Valentines Day this year will probably be spent snowed in. We try to go on a date every week, but for V-Day (actually, the day before, due to the Sunday thing), we can't think of a place to go that's remotely romanticy. It's pathetic. Especially pathetic when this will be our last V-Day together for two years (hubs is heading to CA for language training for the National Guard.

Lefty's furniture now resides at San Miguel's on Washington. It's fun to go and see cow-spotted booths at a Mexican restaurant.

Yes! The Vandalizer. Poor Lefty's.

Yes! The Vandalizer. Poor Lefty's.

You got back tickles??? I'm SO jealous!

Dear Nat the Fat Rat-
I am Betina's sister. Last week I was visiting her and the children of the corn/lentils, and we found ourselves at the Moscow mall. I tried to meet you, but alas, you were not working. Le Sigh. I love meeting bloggers- I love the 2 worlds colliding! Anyways... For the day of love that is Sunday, my husband and I are making a right proper Indian feast followed by

2010-02-10T17:54:49.684-08:00

HA! We used to do exactly what you described, drive aimlessly trying to figure out what we were in the mood for then rent movies. We called them Adventure Nights and the movie part of it was always a last minute idea.

What are we doing for Valentines? Good question. I turned to Jeremy just now and asked him. He said, "Did you want to do something for Valentines?" I

2010-02-10T15:31:25.999-08:00

I honestly cannot remember the last time I went out ANYWHERE in high heels!!! It's too hard for balance-challenged people like me to chase their toddlers down without falling a$$-over-teakettle. :) We need to find a babysitter here in Draper, STAT!

Plus...as for Valentine's Day, we have a pretty pathetic track record in this house! Usually our nuit de romance consists of a

Capitalism rules! way to go with the sponsor ads and all.
I think that there is a hormonal shift that takes place when the male variety of the species marry, and I think this chemical reaction actually kills the romance/date night centers of their brains, or at least atrophies it until they think that a date night consists of x box and other males, potentially their wives as well. no lie.

Awesome valentine's card, and I happen to collect old cards (antiquing is always a good time, as you know).

For Valentine's Day, for my coworkers, tomorrow, I am bringing brownies with chocolate frosting hearts using my Perfect Brownie pan and the stencils that come with it. Loooooove my Perfect Brownie pan!

I am also going to see the movie Valentine's Day with

2010-02-10T12:10:51.150-08:00

Since I was engaged but not anymore, my girlfriends and I are kickin' it old-school and going to Don Pablo's for "Single Ladies Night" like we did in high school. Then, we are going bowling and having a sleepover, complete with popcorn, chick flicks, and mini-makeovers. It will be a weekend of catching up and reminiscing!

P.S. - "Natalie Lovin Valentine"

nat,
but have you ever realized the awesomeness that would be your celeb couple nickname???

"bratalie"

xo, em :)

2010-02-10T10:37:55.018-08:00

Larsie . . . you mean THE VANDALIZER?

Tamara, when we were getting married we toyed briefly with combining our names. We came up with: LoveHol (gross) HolLove (grosser) Holin (see?) and Lovebrook (perfect). Then The Holbs wussed out on me. Rude, right?

Natalie, ohh if you could click on them that would be even better! I am such a sell-out.

2010-02-10T10:01:44.432-08:00

We celebrate the weekend after, both to avoid the crowds and because it also happens to be our engagement anniversary. We splurge on a nice dinner instead of giving each other presents, which is such a relief because Todd is IMPOSSIBLE to buy for.

2010-02-10T09:51:08.282-08:00

Sweet little card you posted...I love the old style Valentine Cards they use to make....anyway...what is it about being married that date nights seem so.....unnecessary to our men? After marriage it becomes just going out to dinner...and often with others. You did the right deal, all spiffied up and ready to go to propose that date night! Woohoo indeed! And hey agreeing on food can be

2010-02-10T09:29:17.126-08:00

When I was in P-Town, Swilly's was the big place for fancy dates. Otherwise it was Basilios or Wingers. It will break my little heart if I find out that Wingers, with its chocolate cokes, is closed. :)

2010-02-10T08:51:56.383-08:00

Are you kidding me? It's about time you had some ads around here! I hope you get filthy stinkin rich. Truly.

2010-02-10T08:43:34.103-08:00

Valentine's Day will probably consist of snuggling on the couch and tucking into a movie. Roses would be nice, but that's not his cup 'o tea. With all the other plusses he's got goin' for him, I can let the roses slide: )

This sounds very familiar.
