We are actually staying in Encinitas. Got tickets to the zoo already so we are hoping for at least 1 nice day.Even on our worst days here, It is probably better than this time of year in Chicago!
Have fun at the zoo. If you can make it to the Wild Animal Park, thats good also.

I bet...this is the current weather at my house...which is not a bad thing because I run a couple of pizza places....liquid coupons we call it.I think we were in the low 60's today, but it is going to be cold tonight, 45!

Is it just that I'm becoming more aware of my seemingly permenant state of single-hood, or does V-day get more hype every year? Target had V-day stuff out while I was still picking through the candy to find the clearance ones with Christmas holly on the package, and I've been getting emails from pretty much every store I've ever bought something from (including, of all places, Home Depot) telling me about the great gifts they sell for my non-existent significant other.

In other words, my cat and I will be spending V-day pretty much the same way as MM, except I don't really drink much anymore and I don't watch Lost. At least the gym will probably be pretty empty that night...

Sounds like everyone has fun plans to look forward to. I unfortunately will not be with my Valentine this year, it is our first apart. I can always send something but I don't have any great ideas, which is why I thought the video contests were fun ideas. I could be really cheesy and make it full of inside jokes that would make it really funny for us! For those of you who have been apart in the past or are going to be this year did you send something or how did you make it special?

One only needs to read the history of VD to know why one shouldn't celebrate it.

Where are all the Valentines flower deals? There were lots last year in the hot deals forum.

Having given up on finding something red that he will like/appreciate/enjoy (the red sweater last year was...hmmm, oh well) IF I can figure out the name of his optometrist I hope to order the sunglass clips for his glasses that he lost. Then I can write in the card something corny like, "so you can continue to only have eyes for me." buahahahaha!

Couldn't resist buying him the 80th Anniversary Craftsman 5 piece tool set in commemorative tin for $9.97.

silly me thought you were referring to venereal disease

Hilarious when you substitute the phrase in the sentence, it still is true.
