Cue Marvin Gaye.
The only bad thing about today is the fact that my Facebook feed is filled with snarky statuses about how much people hate today. Even if you don't have a significant other, spend today with a friend so they cheer you up.You just do your thing and I'll do mine. K?
Even when I didn't have a boyfriend, I was the kid in class who gave everyone a valentine and dressed in pink or red. It's fun, why not spread a little love? Everyone likes to get candy or a card, right?
So this Valentine's day, (not to be confused with VALENTIME'S, which, by the way, isn't a real word and just a reminder for next year, it's Happy New Year, not New Years. Sorry, I get carried away with that stuff. Back to the point...) send a little love note to your IT guy or your secretary because they'll enjoy it. Is that a big enough hint? I want CANDY. I need it to live. Diets don't count today.
Tonight I have a very low key night planned for the hubs and I. We'll be having a delicious dinner at home of steak with mushroom gravy, coconut shrimp, mashed potatoes and broccoli. All of my hubs favorite foods. Then, to top it all off, I was going to tackle chocolate souffle but if I may end up going the easy route with Pioneer Woman's molten chocolate lava cake that she featured on Tasty Kitchen. I haven't decided if I'm making the coconut shrimp from scratch yet though, anyone have a good recipe? I'm on the hunt otherwise it's gonna be Gorton's Fisherman.
Along with cooking my Valentine a super special and delicious supper, I bought him two new blu-ray movies, 300 and Red. Which I got ID'd buying at WalMart because apparently I look seventeen.
I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
If someone you know is being a scrooge, pop them for me, k?
Or just plant a big ole kiss on 'em. Thanks.

You two are too damn cute. Also, I love coconut shrimp, so if you do get a recipe, I'm open to taste test, ahem, I mean please share. :) I laughed so hard at you getting IDed for the movies. That's awesome!
Thanks, Jessica. I will have Marvin Gaye stuck in my head for the rest of the day...
You and your hubs are too cute! Hope y'all have a great day!
Awww you mush-heads ;)
If you want the share the Valentine's Day cheer, I am more than happy to come over and eat some of that delicious tasting food you're cooking.
And have you seen Red yet? Because it's aweeesssommmee. I'm sure your Valentine will love it ;)
I don't hate Valentine's Day, but I don't celebrate it. I think it's a really cute holiday for kids but I hate how prices are so inflated just for one day. I do love giving and getting valentines, though! Old school style. :)
Agreed! I don't usually do much for Valentine's Day, we're not big present-buyers (probably because we're broke college students) but I find the incessant whining about how awful it is irritating! Enjoy your V-Day.
Sounds like a perfect night!
Happy hearts day!
Aww we're doing dinner at home as well - Happy Valentine's Sweets!
Ahh, I completely agree about the Valentine's Day haters. It's not just about the commercial aspect, or even the couples aspect, it's a holiday about love. And I can love my friends and family too. Thank you! Hope you have a wonderful and relaxing evening with your sweetheart tonight, your dinner sounds delicious!
happy valentine's day! that sounds like an awesome dinner. i hope it won't ruin the romance when i come over and join you for all that yumminess.
Happy Valentine's Day!
I still have not bought my guy his gift - his birthday was just 2 weeks ago and I'm all out of ideas!
Haha, I'm very anti-Valentine's Day but I'm not single! In fact I've been in a relationship every Valentine's Day since...2003 I think? And that was the last year I agreed to celebrate it ;)
I LOVED valentine's day when I was a kid so much. I mean, who doesn't love candy, cute cards and the adorable box to put them in? Now, I still like it, but nothing like I did when I was a kid.
I'm with Layla on the V-day thing. I've just never been all that into it. Sounds like you have an awesome dinner planned though.
Ya made me LOL at my desk again - at your holiday info though - "Happy BirFday" is the one that KILLS me. :)
oh yeah marvin gaye!!!!! :) and you are SO CUTE and you crack me up! have fun canoodling with your sweetheart!
I love this. You are so right, I'm sick of the V-Day haters. I was 'that girl' too...Valentine's is about Love and Candy and Pink....I don't see any reason you have to have a significant other in order to have a good day! :) Happy Valentines to you and your hubby! :)
haha...im not gonna lie i might be a tad bit of a vday hater. however i will say i never really loved it even when i was in a relationship. i am loving that lots of ppl go out and i will make some $$$ waiting on all the love birds tonight. ha! cute pic of yall btw!
Fred and I are coming over for dinner, ok? Cute post and Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Mmmmm coconut shrimp. Even though my husband wont be here I am still enjoying my Valentine's day with my boys. And wearing red- lipstick that is :)
Write it in Lipstick
haha, cute post. i am about to shoot a certain relative of mine who keeps talking about 'valenTIMES day'. oy.
awesome meal, especially the coconut shrimp! happy valentine's day!
I'm jealous you get to cook at home, I'd love to but we can't :(
Happy Valentine's Day!
Oh that's a great photo... engagement??
And I like Valentine's Day too :)
We don't go all out for Valentine's day, but we do exchange little gifts and go out to dinner. Oh, and I wore hot pink to work today! :) Hope you have a good one, love the pic!
I drove by a school today and saw a bunch of kids in pink and red running around in a field playing soccer. It was precious. That's what Valentine's Day should be like...no reason to complain or be bitter or whatever. I hope you have a great evening with the hubby!
I totally agree!! What's up with people?! My facebook has the same valentine hating status updates.... it irritates me! I hope you have a wonderful night with your hubby and totally enjoy your valentine's day!!
MMMMMmmm your Vday meal sounds delish. This is a great "holiday" really. Couples get to celebrate, singles get to eat chocolate. Any holiday is a chance to DRINK! We don't have enough holidays!
Such a cute picture of y'all! I totally agree with you...I have had plenty of Valentine's Days without love. I still enjoyed them!! It's a day to love anyone! : ) Hope y'all had a great night! Your dinner sounds delicious!
Yeah I was kind of over all the snarkiness yesterday. It just makes people sound bitter.
Hope you had a great evening celebrating with your man. I had quite a few "Poor Me" Valentine's Day statuses in my FB news feed as well. Guess you either love or hate the holiday!
Sounds like a delicious dinner! Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day! :-)
Thank you again for the adorable card!! Hope you had a lovely evening with Kevin :)
