Now, I shall make all DU girlfriends jealous and make all DU boyfriends look bad.

[WilliamPitt]

My plans tonight to celebrate Valentines Day with my girlfriend:

* Big room at the Park Plaza hotel for the night with a view of the city and the Boston Common.

* Reservations at astonishingly nice restaurant downtown.

Yep. I rule.

(Note: Today is also our anniversary, so these big plans are for both events. Also, the hotel room was surprisingly cheap. Dinner will wind up being more expensive, oddly enough)

(Note: I still rule)

[JVS]

1. Do I smell a $600 dinner flamewar in the making?

[WilliamPitt]

5. God I hope so.

Did I mention I'm building a school in Africa with my 30,000 square foot house next door?

[Horse with no Name]

48. What kind of lightbulbs

and do you plan on kidnapping a busload of 9 year old girls and forcibly make them take Gardisil?

[ohiosmith]

6. When is the last time anyone spent $600.00 at KFC?

[WilliamPitt]

8. When Rush came down from his Oxy high and realized he hadn't eaten in days.

Enjoy that visual.

[Rambis]

18. As a friend of mine so eloquently put it...

while speaking to another friend about the cost of her wedding cake...

"Why spend 600 dollars on something that people are just going to poop out in the morning."

[AlCzervik]

2. you should have called Amanda, she's working part time at some

fancy pants hotel downtown.

[graywarrior]

3. I get to watch LOST with Mr. Gray.

You rascal, you.

Have fun!

[Bake]

4. Nice start, but you didn't close the deal.

No roses? No diamonds? Jeez, Pitt, you ain't gonna get lucky like that!

Take it from an old married guy ... you can NEVER EVER EVER go wrong with red roses and white diamonds. Guaranteed!

Bake

[WilliamPitt]

7. She specifically demanded NO ROSES

Doesn't like them.

And she is already wearing some nice stuff I got her for her birthday.

I think I'm covered. ;)

[Bake]

11. Are you sure she's not an alien?

Ahem. Regardless, if she does't go for roses, you're supposed to be able to read her mind and know what kind of flowers she DOES like, and go get 'em! Sigh. Youngsters.

:rofl:

Oh, and I apologize in advance to anyone offended by my totally sexist generalization-type comments. I still open doors for ladies.

Bake

[AirmensMom]

67. I dunno about that.

We're building a house and I would be VERY unhappy if harleydad blew money on red roses and white diamonds. To me, nothing is more romantic than spending an evening alone with him, a nice dinner (roasted cornish game hens ... everything in one disposable pan so there's no mess, and prepared together -- VERY romantic), a bottle of wine, and a good movie. When we were in college over 30 years ago, we just wanted to be alone in our own living room. I remembered that last night.
:loveya:

Take it from an old married woman -- harleydad doesn't need expensive props. :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Ah, that sounds wonderful, my dear Will.......

You two have a lovely time.......

I'm sure you will.......

:hug:

[Susang]

10. Sorry, I've got you beat

My boyfriend proposed to me on Valentine's Day. Dinner with another couple to throw me off, then home, where he had stashed the ring in the refrigerator for me to find because I inevitably hit the fridge as soon as we get home to get a beverage.

That was 13 years ago today.

Have fun tonight, don't do anything I wouldn't do. ;-)

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. I have friends whose anniversary is today....

20-some years, second marriages for both, seven kids between them when they got married.

[matcom]

12. you ain't got shit

i'm pumping Mrs Matcom full of $4 wine and we are going to fuck like bunnies

ppfffffffffttt

[LaraMN]

16. Bwahahaa!

What? No Boone's Farm? This IS a special occasion!

[matcom]

17. it IS Valentine's Day after all

and boxed wine has spiked in price x(

[Mrs.Matcom]

29. Oh Baby!!!

I LURV you soooooooo much! You are the bestest!!! :*

[matcom]

31. i got you new kneepads

:hide:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

32. What no elbow pads?

:hide:

[matcom]

33. gotta save something for next year

:rofl:

[Mrs.Matcom]

52. I already have those!

nice ones with extra padding! :hi:

[Madrone]

13. Oh pashaw.

GOPisEvil sent me a gift certificate to a spa, is flying up to see me tomorrow night, again in March, and AGAIN in April, AND our "real" Valentine's celebration won't happen until this weekend.

I'm not jealous AT ALL. ;)

[Tsiyu]

37. Me, neither

I got a call from my sweetie Friday night, as I was rushing to see my son's band play in Nash Vegas, and my sweetie said, "I'm hopping on a plane. Be in Nashville in a few hours. Surprise."

So I got a whole weekend with my baby AND got back a bunch of cool pictures I took of him when we were in Marina Del Ray to pin up and lust after.


Love is so nice. :P

[Madrone]

39. Awwwwwww!

That is SO awesome!! Good for YOU! Nice to see you around! :hug:

[Tsiyu]

42. You, too

Been busy and neglecting DU lately. Bad me.

Have a great VD!



:hug:

[pdx_prog]

14. Does she know what's coming?

That's when it becomes memorable....:)

Did you remember to shave your back?....:rofl:

[pokerfan]

19. Ha!

My strategy has always been to lower expectations to the point where any gesture, no matter how slight, is appreciated.

I rule!

[MissB]

20. Have fun!

What a wonderful time in a relationship.... expensive dinners, nice hotels.

After nearly 12 years of marriage and 2 kids, our big splurge today is wild-caught salmon for dinner and a decadent chocolate dessert. Life changes, but as long as the love is there, Valentine's Day is still great.

[Pierre.Suave]

21. I got you beat

I really do.

Even though my GF is in a different state at the moment, I still remembered her.

[Burma Jones]

22. Gotcha Beat

I got a vasectomy.....

[Arugula Latte]

35. Day-um!

You have a trump card, there! :toast:

[VelmaD]

23. *sigh*

I don't even want to talk about how I'm spending Valentine's Day. I don't even want to think about how I'm spending Valentine's Day. I don't think I've had a good one since 1986. *double sigh*

[AlCzervik]

24. aw, i'm sorry Velma.

nothing doing here either and truth be told i don't enjoy Valentines day much, my mother's birthday is today, she would have been 66.
:hug:

[VelmaD]

26. I'm sorry about your mother

:hug:

At least the people I'm missing today are still here. Just far away.

[Miss Marmelstein]

25. My husband......

is driving me to Cabo for dinner, dancing and then spend the night at a lovely hotel. I'm really excited!

Hope you have a wonderful night!

:bounce::bounce:

[Mojorabbit]

27. My gift was better!

I got a honey extracter so I can harvest and process honey from my bees.It is a big ticket item for us. I have had the hive since April and I am sooo excited! He filled the house with bee decorations and hearts spelling out Bee my Valentine and he is cooking a chauteaubriand for dinner accompanied with Champagne. All I have to do is laze around and eat dark chocholate and be worshiped. He still hasn't lost it after 25 years!

[Midlodemocrat]

28. Just don't do anything stupid and buy a $9,000 ring.

It won't sit well here.

Have fun.

[auntAgonist]

60. .....

YOU :) :hug:

:spank:


:hi:
:rofl:

[SPKrazy]

30. Hey, Making Me Look Bad Is EASY!

:shrug:

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

34. Sounds nice, but I'm not jealous.

:)

:hi:

[idgiehkt]

36. it does sound nice

but I have to admit I'm not jealous either. I don't get spending a whole lot of money on food; it all looks the same when it comes out no matter how much you pay for it.

I think my ideal valentines day thing would be, really, and this is terrible, but if I was in a place where I could justify it, someone getting me a baby animal of some sort. That is the most cuddly thing I can imagine, like a puppy or kitten. And spending the rest of the day playing with it. Of course that would be someone who knew me well enough to know that would make me happier than anything else. It would have to be from a rescue or something, and we would also have to adopt a really old, not very adoptable pet at the same time too.

But I do hope Will Pitt and everyone else has a great Valentines Day. :hi:

[Left Is Write]

40. I'd love delicious, well-prepared meal out and have no problem with spending the money...

it's just that I'm not jealous of Will's plans for the evening.

Now, if he were taking his girlfriend on a European tour for three weeks, I'd probably be jealous. :)

[idgiehkt]

45. I would go for the Europe thing

I'd probably rather stay home and watch GlobeTrekker. The food thing is a no-go though.

[bicentennial_baby]

38. Nope, not jealous, and Sniffa doesn't look bad...

We're laying on the couch watching Project Runway, smoking bowls, drinking beer, and about to eat homemade Steak & Cheese subs w/ Onions and Peppers...and then... :evilgrin:

:shrug:

[atommom]

41. Hmm, well, I got the nice hotel room and the astonishingly nice restaurant

for my anniversary last weekend. Copycat. :)

[DaveinMD]

43. I took

my wife to see Wicked last Saturday. Tonight was dinner with her and my daughter. Tabitha, our two year old, love the spaghetti and tiramisu.

[GirlinContempt]

44. Yeah, no, I don't think so.

Takeout & Lego Star Wars II

Beat THAT

[atommom]

58. Both my sons would sell their souls for an evening like that!

[GirlinContempt]

59. But they're probably 12

;) Sadly they can't hang out with me if that is the case

[atommom]

69. 6 and 8, actually. But that's young enough to make it innocent. ;) nt

[GirlinContempt]

75. True.

Too old yet not old enough and it's creepy.
6 & 8 are the average ages of kids I've nannied

[PVnRT]

71. Hellz yeah

The invicibility cheat is a godsend for the flying missions. I hate those.

[GirlinContempt]

76. I don't buy anything till I've gone through the game once

But I'm finding that those friggin minikits are 10x harder to find

[PVnRT]

78. I didn't buy anything but characters until I got through either

As for the minikits, I've spent hours crawling through every nook and cranny and found nearly all of them (so far) on my own. GameFAQs.com is consulted when I'm absolutely stuck.

[hippywife]

46. Have a great time!

But I'm not jealous. I have the most wonderful husband in the world now on his way home from work.

[trof]

47. Once in a while, ya gotta put the big pot in the little one.*

*A 'Southernism' for going over and above.
'Really doing it up right.'
The extra mile.

Ya done good.
Bon appetit and pleasant dreams.
;-)

[BlackVelvet04]

49. We went to the best Mexican restaurant around....

AND I got a gift certificate for 3 hour long massages. And later....well, let's just say somebody is getting lucky. ;-)

Have fun!

[Kurovski]

50. Our "gay agenda" operatives will soon take care of all that, my dear boasting boy!

Nya-ah-ah! :D

Have a great celebration!

[sakabatou]

51. Good thing I'm single.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

53. sorry as someones girlfriend i can assure you i am not jealous

i dont think my gf is jealous of you either

[mockmonkey]

54. So I guess

my idea of heating up a couple of Hot Pockets and renting "Porky's" probably isn't as romantic as I envisioned.

Some people get it and some don't. *sigh* :shrug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

55. Enjoy your evening!

But it's not about the money... :)

[VOX]

56. Hey! I taking my wife to a desert resort for FIVE dream-fulfilling nights!

There is the small detail that said resort is a single-room casita in back of my cousin's house in Palm Desert, but still...

Okay, okay, damn it, Will, you still rule. But listen to those footsteps you hear, dude.

Cheers -- :toast:

[davsand]

57. You are leaving the house? I am SO f***ing jealous!

I have been snowed in for two days and it took four guys with snow blades and shovels to dig my car out enough to DRAG it out of the driveway.

I got snow drifts so tall you can't even see my fence, and we had to clear a drift out to get our sat TV to work again. The last I heard, there was a snow drift over 8 feet tall on the outskirts of town blocking the main road that the snow plows were having problems breaking thru.

We had fajitas for dinner and Kevsand is over on the futon with Material Girl watching cartoons in between his naps...

Oh yeah, we ARE living large here in Central Illinois! I'm hoping to go back to work tomorrow.


Laura

[GalleryGod]

61. Well done, Will !

Saw "A Chorus Line" tonight..went back to Cafe Centrale upstairs from


Lotsa famous, after-show, faces !!
Vanessa Redgrave, Ralph Lauren, Julianne Moore,Billy Crudup, Amy Irving,
and John Mahoney. (Who I took a leak with)

'Night to ALL the DUers who celebrate Valentine's Day !

[girl gone mad]

62. And I'll make all boyfriends jealous when I tell my...

bf, save your money. Give me a good book and a nice bottle of wine.

[fudge stripe cookays]

63. Meh.

I'm not jealous. I'm married to the most amazing man in the world, and we didn't have time for Valentines on Valentines.

We're going to Lavendou on Saturday so we can continue renovating our bathroom for the next few days. then we'll try out our new Andrew Blake box set.

[Danger Mouse]

64. Dude, to be honest, it's not hard at all to make me look like a bad boyfriend...

9 out of 10 of my ex-girlfriends agree, Elrond Hubbard is an insensitive douchebag!
...I'm such a terrible, terrible human being.

[sniffa]

65. that was an awesome view yesterday

[LaurenG]

66. Hey Will, did you get any

room service? :rofl:I just love using room service.

[donheld]

68. How long did it take you to blow up that doll?

:hide::evilgrin::hide:

[MissMillie]

70. I would have been satisfied w/ a phone call

*sigh*

To be fair, the person who I wanted to call isn't really a boyfriend, yet. He's expressed some interest, and I've been trying to be encouraging, but we're both a little gun shy. Add to that the fact that he probably got stuck at work during the snow storm.... it's kind of hard to fault him for not calling.

[bridgit]

72. yeah well we had beer, salad & pizza at Zelda's here in town...

:P

[NewJeffCT]

73. My wife & I got nothing for each other yesterday - however -

I'm planning a very nice anniversary gift for later this year. Or, maybe birthday

Either this:


Or maybe this (which would certainly make us a family of liberal elitists)

[Patiod]

74. I got Daffodils and "Mile High Enchilada Pie"

made in the crock pot.

S.O. is broke this year, so we went the budget route. Normally we go out a day before or after VDay to avoid the VDay menus and markup at the good restaurants.

I still prefer daffodils vs. roses though.

Hope the Park Plaza was great (not surprised you got a good price, though -- most business people avoid traveling on Valentine's day, so they probably had a lot of rooms in stock)

[AwakeAtLast]

77. My husband didn't get me anything yesterday, but we just built a new house

We move in 10 days! :bounce:

I didn't care about not getting anything for Valentine's Day. I've never had my own house, so I'm kind of excited! :bounce: Besides, we are snowed in.

Hope you had a great time! :hi:

[matcom]

79. soooooo......

did she knock you up?

:hide:
