I think from someone who means it, everything is more than necessary.
From someone who doesn't mean it, nothing is enough.
Valentine's Day as a holiday never really meant anything to me.
When it seemed things were going well, there was no need for a reminder to say "I Love You".
Then, when things took a drastic turn downhill, it was no fun to have a day of "forced celebration" of something that didn't really exist.
Not trying to be cynical here, just my thoughts.
I'd do something special for myself, but right now, me not spending a lot of money is special. Not sure if that makes any sense?
I was going to make steak for dinner, but I made it tonight instead (Yum!), so maybe I'll crack open one of the boxes of risotto to go with whatever I make.
