This is the LOVE day. Valentine
’s Day means purchasing large silk covered boxes of chocolate and cards so
sweet your teeth ache. Some of us will spend the day baking (raising hand)
heart-shaped cookies for our sweeties’ lunchbox. Others will plan a romantic
candlelit dinner and a chilled bottle of wine. The lucky ones might even find
themselves tip-toeing behind a path of rose petals to a heart-shaped Jacuzzi,
the steam rising behind rows of colorful bottles and scented oils.
Pop!
Or not.
Assuming we’re all lucky in love, forgive
me if the events describe your romantic evening.
I happen to know some people,
the gals –or guys- whose day will be spent cooking
that fabulous dinner after running
to the store to grab a few steaks and valentine cards. Yeah, (s) both of them because some
people in the house who (because they get off work late) can’t make it, ask that you purchase one more. After all, you’re going there anyways, right? Can’t you just reach
through the crowd and grab an extra one? Who cares what it says, as long as it
symbolizes love. Right?
What do you consider romantic?
February 14th.
A day to celebrate your better half.

I’m giving away a digital Kindle
copy of Man of Her Dreams to one commenter
and hope you enjoy reading about romance as much as I do.
Awesome post, Ter! Happy Valentines Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Happy Valentines Day to you, too!
DeleteI love Valentine's Day. I'm not cooking, baking cookies or eating chocolates today. Why should romance be equate with fattening stuff. No. I'ma exercise in bed with hubby. We're spending the night somewhere special since our 16-yr-old son doesn't have school tomorrow. He'll stay home playing video games and texting. Hopefully he won't break any rules. Lol

((chuckle)) your exercise routine. I agree, we definitely don't need the fattening chocolate to celebrate. A few special moments will do.
DeleteSounds like a fun evening!
Also... I'd love to win but don't want to sign up with Facebook. My Facebook accounts are not personal ones. No time. I'm FB administrator for sports teams at my son's school, so there are those. I will be starting one for the books when they're written and published.
ReplyDeleteSo what do I do to get a chance to win?
PS Excuse typo in first post. *equated*, I meant to write.

You just entered by commenting, Merc. So happy you did!
DeleteHi, Tere,
ReplyDeleteHubby and I don't celebrate the V day. Not that we no longer love and honor each other! We are still super in love after being together since we were sixteen (26 yrs). For us, every day is special, and very often romantic. He brings me flowers without it needing to be a day the world says he ought to, and he does sweet things for me.
I make sure to cook his favorite meals most weeks--thank the Lord he has a few! :) And we enjoy, and make time for each other every day.
When every day is a day of love, Valentine’s is just another day. ;)
How lucky you are, Monique! True love is the very best treat of all! Congrats on the many happy years.
ReplyDeleteMy DH has his moments, romance is not encoded in his DNA though. I got a kiss this morning, which I usually get before he leaves for work, and i honestly don't know if he'll remember that today is V-day until teh kids remind him with..."What did you get Mom for Valentine's Day?"
ReplyDeleteThen I'll get a card and chocolate, which he'll eat most of anyway. But he agreed to go to couple's workout on Sat with me, which is big.
Hehehee, your hubby sounds like mine, Bella. Last week as the kid waited at the door, DH kissed me goodbye before they left on a trip. "It's expected," he said.
ReplyDeleteAnd my red valentine will always be in the form of meat. LOL. Which means he's thinking of his stomach mainly.
Gotta love 'em.
Have fun on the workout Sat.
Happy Valentine's Day Tere! Sounds like you'll be having a wonderful evening with your husband :)
ReplyDeleteAs for what I consider romantic, anything can be made romantic if you're with the right person!
You're absolutely right, Christine. I've had great times (and lost my heart) just fishing. LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you stopped by and hope you have a great Valentine's evening!
Tere
