She was adorable. I didn't even get anything from my kids I bought them candy, but I may just eat it. > Now, if the Sharks win, I'll be happy.
Originally Posted By officerminnie Well, Valentine's Day is not one of my favorite "holidays" anymore, but I do enjoy seeing others celebrate it. I have been a widow for 4 1/2 years now, and today DH and I would have been married 27 years! But what a nice day it turned out to be - one of my co-workers brought me a bouquet of red tulips this morning, telling me she knew this was probably a tough day for me and wanted to make it a little easier. Kind of restores your faith in folks, you know?
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Sorry to hear that, Officerminnie, but I'm glad your lovely co-worker got you a gift! That's so sweet. >>got cards from my mommy and my DD<< Ah, yes, this reminds me! I was on the phone to my friend yesterday (V day) and said "I got a valentine this morning!" She said "oh yeah? From your dog?" I was outraged. And the fact that it was actually from my mother was beside the point.
Originally Posted By Mary Poppins That is so sad officerminnie. What a nice gesture for your co-worker to bring in a bouquet. As for me, Valentine's day is now focussed on family and friends since I am now single. I phoned up an aunt who is single and I chatted with her. It was a nice highlight to the day. There are plenty of single people out there.
Originally Posted By LuLu Yes, we have to make our own fun on V Day. And be happy that people love us, even if it's just our mommy! How nice of your coworker, officerminnie. Hugs to you!

Originally Posted By iamsally We had our family Mexican dinner last night and it was great. I made Chili Colorado and rice and DD made enchiladas and refried beans. It was all yummy and if anyone from the weight loss thread is reading this I controlled my portions very well indeed. After giving candy to the kids we all sat and played Disney Scene It and then put in Tarzan for the children to watch. Well, they all fell asleep and guess who watched the whole movie!?!? Glad to hear so many creative ways of celebrating a day for love. officerminnie: You seem to have great strength and good friends.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Yes, Valentines Day isn't just about 2 people. It's all about letting those you love know that you love them My DH brought me roses and I made a nice dinner for the 2 of us but the best part was the emails, calls or cards from our kids. Our new daughter in law sent us a picture, via e mail, of valentine cookies that she and our son made Just too cute to think of our 26 year old son trying to make heart shaped cookies. I sent a card to and also phoned my mom just for a chat. The whole day had bits of love. No chocolates or Hallmark cards required
