XABF always got me flowers on Valentine's Day, and we always did something "special".
We would have gone to dinner last night, if we were still together.
The thing is, I didn't want the overinflated flowers, and I didn't want the expensive dinners, I just wanted to do something nice and quiet for just the two of us, something that didn't cost an arm and a leg and wouldn't "require" me to send him half my next paycheck to help offset the costs.
I am looking forward to a nice quiet day tomorrow.
I thought about getting myself some flowers for tomorrow, but right now I have so many houseplants (I feel so bad, but I'm waiting for them to die so I can throw them out
)
So, I think my plan this year is to buy a lot of chocolates for myself on Tuesday.
The day
after Valentine's Day is the holiday, as far as I'm concerned - National Half Price Chocolate Day! Now
that is something I can sink my teeth into.
Thank you for this thread goldengirl. You have also reminded me to call my parents and wish them a Happy Anniversary. (They got married the day before V-Day. My father always jokes that if he were smart, he would have waited two days, and saved a bundle.)
