I'll be taking her car in to get an oil change... Plus I'm making a couple enlargements of photos I took when we were in New Hampshire and California.

She was outta town yesterday until this evening so for Valentines day I just got her a simple rose, on the kitchen table with a card, and finished painting the kitchen for her and left it spotless.

Would that be something a woman would like? Hoping..it is like two fold for me...one it can be construed as a gift,...but to be honest I just wanted it done and the shit all cleaned up!
I thought you hated your wife? Why would you do something nice for her? I'd have probably painted it too while she was gone....just in Cubby Blue and Red.

I have to admit...it was more for me because I was getting sick of the ladder and all the shit sitting around....and with various spatterings of paint on the walls so i just said fuck it and did it......

I don't need a made up holiday to make my wife feel special. She and I show our love and gratitude toward each other all year round. We are one soul, working to make the world a better place.

I hate valentine's day cards. But I did buy chocolate. I don't need an excuse for chocolate.

You'll need a good one if you eat it and don't give her any....

I'd rather we all work on doing nice things for our SOs and moms more frequently without reason than worry about buying a heart shaped box of probably ****ty candy.

Bingo. I don't need this stupid hallmark holiday when everything is marked up 200% over its normal price to treat my girl well. This holiday is for the lazy people who just feel the need to treat their woman special one day out of the year.

Valentines Day is ridiculous. As is Sweetest Day. And no I'm not a woman who says that secretly expecting to get something anyways.

According to power i, you are just saying that secretly wanting a gift. However, I believe you and thank you for not being one of those women who like to play games.

I'm not saying she secretly really wants a gift and is playing a game. I'm saying that I don't care who you are, it makes you feel good to know that your SO has thought enough of you to go out of his way to get you something. And it doesn't matter if it's a Tiffany's ring or a $2 rose, it really is the thought that counts. :) That's all. Switch it around and it makes you guys feel good too to know that your woman went out of her way to do something special for you. No games, just all about love, baby!

Fuck the bullshit, "I don't need a special day," blah, blah, blah. Any woman wants to be treated nicer on Valentines Day than she is every other day. Regardless of how nice you are on a daily basis, a woman will always appreciate even more.

Get the fuck out of here with the bullshit, you pretentious fucking douche bags.
