With tomorrow being Valentine's Day, what will you be getting the wife/boss/War Department?
Wanting to get started early, I went ahead and gave my wife some chocolate-covered strawberries from Kroger.
The restaurants will be busy tomorrow night no doubt.

Just another day for us. No gifts will be given.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

She already has me, what more could she want? Maybe a new English Pointer pup?
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

My hubby knows flowers and chocolate's are a waste of money. However, ammo is perfectly acceptable.

I treat her right every chance I get.
Restaurants and stores will be too busy to get to.

Just another day for us. No gifts will be given. This is the same for us, my wife says she would rather me treat her like my valentine every day of the year. Not just one.

I have flowers coming tomorrow. We will cook at home Saturday to celebrate. My wife’s schedule is hectic right now, so by the time we figured out when we would celebrate, finding a reservation at a nice restaurant was impossible (and I tried nine different places).
I’ll grill a tomahawk and, weather permitting, we will sit by the outside fire with some wine and music.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.

I usually buy her red roses, more of a memory thing as our first actual date was on Valentine's day to a youth group church Valentine's party and I gave her a red rose corsage. I have also bought rose bushes (mainly red) and planted them in a rose garden, again back to more of my own tradition to enjoy throughout the year instead of just a few days in a vase ... tomorrow will be 45 years from our first date that started all this.
What we have been doing the last 10+ years was we take a day trip somewhere around central Texas to see something new (most new to her since I've covered most things) ... just a nice day spent totally focused on being with each other. Usually brunch somewhere along the way, see some sights, early dinner and back home by bedtime. but with her having cataract surgery yesterday, we will be delaying this little adventure a few weeks.

I'll get her a little stuffed animal or something just for putting up with me.

I send flowers to my GF at work. She isn't really into flowers, but she loves the reaction she gets from the other gals in her office. I'll also do it every now and then at random times throughout the year.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

In my previous job, there were at least 2 chicks sending flowers to themselves at work. Pretty sad.
