The Hawaiian word of the day is
Aloha.
It is love.

| Singing Valentine at a Gun Store |
For the past three years, my husband joined his Barbershop Quartet in delivering singing Valentines. Sometime during the day, he would call me and have the quartet sing to me. This year, he is in Korea. So the kids and I will enjoy Mongolian Bar-B-Que at the Hickam Officers' Club!

ReplyDeleteWe will also got to the new restaurant The Sheppard's Inn

I don't usually do anything for Valentine's Day. However, one year a friend invited a group of women to her house for Valentine's Day. We did manicures, ate junk food and watched movies.It was a good time!
ReplyDeleteI love Valentine's Day, hubby has already brought me candies and is going to make me dinner.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day to you too! My hubby asked me to post-pone it this year so he could go to pilates that night instead of spending time with me.
ReplyDeleteHappy happy vday
ReplyDeleteNothing special plan, but will eat cany

We usually meet friends and family on Thursdays for dinner and sometimes games (or bocce in the summer) so to make it special we're all going to go see a movie too. Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteNo special plans, but probably dinner and maybe a movie.
ReplyDeleteI actually place more importance on the rest of the year than on Valentines. It's never been that big of a deal for me.
ReplyDeleteNo Special plans this year but we always celebrate our love. We have been married for almost 36 years and still love each other.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad. But with 2 kids, not much plans for Valentine Day. I will be lucky if I get 6 hours of sleep!
ReplyDeleteI don't have anything planned for Valentines Day. My husband always get's me flowers, but I told him not to this year.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day to you and your family Kim, and to everybody else too.
Since it is always so hard to find a babysitter, we are going out as a family for valentines day. My husband and I are having dinner with the kids and possibly going to the movies also. If no good movie, then going to go buy one. My usual babysitter is going out with her husband and not watching kids. Oh well, will do something another day.

Nothing planned ,but we like to do special anytime we want to as opposed to just one day a year. Your cat is so cute.

This year, Hubby and I are going out for a nice dinner at a local club. I'll have small treats for the kiddos, as well. An early Happy Valentine's Day to all.
ReplyDeleteNot doing anything special, but we'll (DH & I) probably hunker down together and watch a movie.
ReplyDeleteThis year my single friends and I are having a special dinner and movie marathon

ReplyDeleteAnnwitch707(at)aol(dot)com
No special plans so far..
ReplyDeletehubby has to work, and we have rains lately..maybe just at home with the kids :)
My Valentine's day will be spent at home with a good romance book & some chocolate :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have anything special planned. It's a working day & I hv a physiotherapy appointment. I'll look forward to curling up in bed at night with a good romance book.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say I have some great plans for Valentine's day but the truth is, I have a few cards and chocolates to give out, a nice dinner with the relatives planned and a date with my book later that night. So here's wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day.

ReplyDeleteI am single so no plans for valentines day.

We celebrate on the 15th instead. I ge a $50 box of chocolate for half the price. I am sucker for a good deal. We even get into the restaurants so much quicker as no one is there. I love it.

Plans this year are to go out for a nice early dinner (to beat the crowds); after that, it's still up in the air, but it will definitely be quality time together.
ReplyDeleteNo special plans. I will probably just read a good book!
