More OT: Valentines Day plans?

Um, wrangling our 16 month old? Ha!

Honestly, I have no idea. Maybe since it's on Sunday I'll see if DH wants to go out for brunch, with our son coming along, of course. I suppose we could look into getting a sitter and go out just the two of us, but we actually prefer to go out with him. Since we both work full-time, we're pretty protective of our weekend and evenings!

The idea of cooking something different is neat, too, but might be challenging with the kiddo underfoot. If I'm in the kitchen, he's pretty much in there, even if DH tries to entertain him in the living room. He likes to watch what I'm doing.

My boyfriend and I are currently living 10,000 miles away (I'm in the UK and he's in Australia) so I'll have to cook my own romantic meal for one and indulge in a few chocolates as I think about everyone else being romantic!

Oh, I still cook! Pretty much just every other night, because we're leftover lovers. :) I do try to vary what we eat, though so my son doesn't become a pick eater. I made ham and bean soup over the weekend with cornbread, and I'm still in shock over how many beans my kiddo ate. Well, and cornbread, too. I'm sure his daycare providers LOVED me for the diapers that created!

Malkavian that's cute, but my boyfriend can just now make Pasta Roni and hot dogs (not together of course). He once was hungry at home. His mom was two miles away at a friend's house. He ran there to get her to come home to make food. He is somewhat helpless XD But I love him lol. Mostly when I'm cooking he just puts things away for me and hugs while I'm stirring.

The movie? I think she's talking about... I actually think it's called Valentine's Day?

But yeah... dunno what we're doing. I plan on getting a gift and that's all I know. Maybe see a movie but I feel like it might be crowded. We'll think of something.

Me and the hubby are going out on the 13th to a Valentines day dance at a local biker's hall with a bunch of friends. On Sunday, I'm not sure what we are doing - maybe taking the kids out to dinner or something.

elephantpipe...that's kinda sad and actually a little pathetic, lol. How is he EVER gonna feed himself. Cooking is one of those things everyone really, really needs to know how to do.

Red-My plans are for saturday as well...that sounds like fun though.

lambkins-I hope you have fun! Sadly most of my favorite restaurants are in my college town so that's a bit far away.

My husband and I are going to our favourite restaurant for dinner. We do this every year - I am big on traditions! We have to book our reservation shortly after New Years, the place books up fast. I cannot wait. Then we come home and watch some corny romantic movie. Lately we don't have dessert at the restaurant, because I'm full right after dinner. Instead we buy something at a bakery ahead of time and eat it later in the evening.

The only thing I'm a little nervous about is I plan to drink wine with dinner. The old colon does not like wine, but usually a glass or two after a long absence is ok. I had a bit too much wine on vacation early in January and had bad pains and diarrhea for two days. If I were smart I'd skip it... but heck I'm going to call it an experiment and go for it. :)

fuzypants...that sounds awesome, i think my mouth is watering.

ack-must be one helluva restaurant! I'm usually full after dinner as well...that's what dessert to go was made for!

elephantpipe-sounds kinda like my dad...I do NOT trust that man in a kitchen unless he's closely supervised.

Malk... I am not sure if I would say that chocolate is the "best" part of V day. LOL

We're pretty low-key about V-day. We'll probably go out to eat, then come home and watch a movie in front of the fireplace.

I remember when I was young and between guys, I always thought "bah, humbug" about Valentines, but I tried to appreciate the fact that others enjoyed it.
