Throwback Thursday: happy Valentine's day! #TBT

[#1]

It's Thursday!

Tomorrow is Valentine´s day in America. My wife's birthday is on that very same day. It is always a huge hassle to take her out to eat on her birthday so in the last few years we just try to go out to eat before or after her birthday... But I do try to do something special for her on Valentine´s day.

What are your plans for Valentine´s day?

Let’s make it a great Thursday! KGM

Unfortunately due to a burst water main our daughter's school has no water so she is home with us today (and she and I are doing science experiments between my meetings; we're doing freezing and melting so we've just filled up an ice cube tray with various different liquids including ketchup and fizzy drinks!)

Since we don't know when the water main will be fixed we've decided not to go out for lunch on Valentine's Day, not just because we may have to do home schooling but also the big hole in the ground where the water main is being repaired is blocking the road that the restaurant we were planning on going to is blocked from our end and it would take an extra 20+ minutes each way to go round to the other end of that road.  

Instead we've decided to go on Sunday and take our daughter to a Greek restaurant to try out some new food.

However to surprise my girlfriend on Valentine's Day I'm going to wait until she's gone to sleep then go and replace all the cushion covers in the living room with Valentine's covers.

@Kristján Geir Mathiesen Happy Early Birthday to your Wife!

Yikes @Stephen_Lugton sorry to hear that, but at the same time, I'm glad you are using the time to do something cool with your daughter.

Personally, my wife and I have never been huge on Valentine's Day.  One traditional I have maintained since we were first dating is that I always get her a small stuffed animal, and this year is no different.  We will be going out for lunch this year as there is a new pub-style restaurant that one of our neighbors opened up in the town center.

Have a great rest of the week everyone!

Well Valentine's Day in the central part of the US looks like I'll be using the snow blower clearing out some forecasted snow.  So that means I will be planning on making dinner for Valentine's Day, celebrating the 371 Month since my wife and I went on our first date.

Now, wouldn't you agree that sitting by the fireplace, watching the snow fall with your spouse would be a somewhat wonderful to spend the evening?  

Have a great Valentine's Day everyone!

I haven't had a sweetheart for many years, so I have no need for Valentine's plans. I am in charge of the snacks for my trivia team on Monday, however, so I do plan to hit the stores Saturday to pick up some (hopefully) half-price candy. 💝

[Amanda Barber]

We grabbed some chocolate-covered strawberries to enjoy with our kiddos and got them a couple of little gifts. My youngest doesn't have school tomorrow so she brought her classmates' candies today. My oldest is in middle school and they offered the ability to buy a cookie to send them, so she'll get a surprise from us tomorrow. 💜

Also, happy birthday to Mrs. KGM! :-D

My wife and I don't specifically celebrate Valentine's Day but this year we're going to watch the latest "Bridget Jones" movie with Renee Zellweger and eat lots of popcorn. 🍿

That’s a double whammy! Valentine’s Day and a birthday on the same day? That’s like trying to manage two Jira instances with overlapping workflows - high stakes, high stress, and absolutely no room for error! 😅

[Liz Tanner]

Naturally, I am going to a rave at Member in Hollywood. 

Then Night Shift Afters at a to-be-disclosed underground.

As one does for Valentine's Day. 😄😆😆😆😆

[Kristján Geir Mathiesen]

Thanks all. Have a great Valentine's day, if you are celebrating it.

My wife is traveling in Asia for most of this month, so I'm off the hook to do something.  

I will do my tradition of buying candy on the 15th at 1/2 price.

Hello

My plans for Valentine's Day are always to prepare for my daughter's birthday, which is on the 15th. On the 14th, it's a revolution at home preparing everything. I don't celebrate Valentine's Day because love is not for one day, it's forever, and not only love, but friendship too.

Regards

We don't actually celebrate this, but Happy belated Valentine's Day.

I’ve never been great with special days or buying gifts, but luckily, my wife was away with the kids for half-term—so I made the most of it by treating myself to a solo pub night with some good beers. Cheers to self-love! 🍻 😆
