Happy Valentines Day! Wishing each and every one of you a wonderful day filled with things you love whether that’s pancakes, motorcycles, or sleeping in.
Once I heard a statistic that more couples fight on Valentine’s Day than any other. And I would believe it. There are lots of unrealistic expectations placed on this day, both by people as well as marketers, retailers, restaurants, chocolatiers, florists, and more.
Rather than pin all the love and romance on a single day, why not make everyday Valentines Day by showing love and kindness to those in your life as well as to yourself every day of the year?
Heart shaped pancakes might make a good start! That’s my plan anyway!

Today is also Ash Wednesday. The start of the Lenten season…where the end is the greatest example of love.
Good day to have an orange Julius; you throw about five or six mandarin oranges in the blender with two scoops vanilla ice cream and a cup of milk.
Today’s my favorite celebration ❤
Valentines day is good for identifying the weakest and most insecure within society. They are normally the ones who bust budget to virtue signal others while publicly validating a cheap caricature of genuine love and caring. Love and devotion are commitment and lifestyle, not an annual circus of excess and degeneracy.
Let There Be Love
Love is a verb
It’s bullshit. Pure bullshit but it was always a productive time back when I was more focused on pulling random chicks.
special days are meaningless without a lifestyle to back them up.
L.O.L!!!
and then . . . there’s *that* !!!
several days ago my husband came home from the grocery store – he likes to shop sometimes and finds all kinds of weird stuff. anyway, i looked in one bag, and there were two valentine cards. i giggled and asked him if he wanted to keep those away from me. then he takes them and says, “I found some awesome cards for you! Look at these!” LOL! i told him i’d rather wait till valentine’s day, but he showed me some of them anyway. so i got one early this morning and will get another tonight. he’s so funnee 🙂
My Girls get one gift and one gift only from The Ton

LOL Ton… my husband actually just gave me a perfect replica of his… you know what!!!!!!!! Insane Man!!!!!!
We never really do anything for v-day… it feels like v-day all year long anyway 😀 But that gift was nice LOL in a hilarious way!
I guess with all the nights where he has to work late – he doesn’t want me turning into one of those women who start seeing (sexing!) ghosts!!!!!
LOL!!!!!
You better be thankful you got a CARD Ame!!!!
This man didn’t even think of a card!!! It’s ok… I still adore him.
Then again… what on earth would a card say to go with that gift 😀 ???
“Use it Well!”
“May the Force Be INSIDE You!”
“Be Sure to Enjoy Your Day 😉 *wink wink*”
Oh my goodness Stephanie! Lol! I guess he can say he wanted to give of himself?!?! 😉
“I thought LONG and HARD about this Valentine’s Day… And this is what I came up for you!”
LOL I’m dying…. this has made my entire year!!!
Yea, he’s sweet Bloom ❤ I think if anything V-day brings out his funnier side, but he's romantic all year long 🙂 .
“May the Force Be INSIDE You!”
Good idea this would be
‘ I guess he can say he wanted to give of himself?!?!’
Well that’s what the marital act is all about. That’s what I find most romantic about it.
LOL! I think your husband wins the prize this year! LOL!
My Man is legendary with cards .. if there’s a ‘best’ card for that person and occasion from him, he’ll find it. He found two great cards that made me laugh and laugh and are still making me giggle! I wub him 😊😍
@Stephanie: LOL I’m dying…. this has made my entire year!!!
On this issue, I think we can safely say NAWALT. Good on you. Not every woman would have that kind of reaction. But then, I’m sure your husband knows you well.
Lol so true Richard! I was wondering where a guy even goes about getting something like that made and how, but I actually really don’t want to know. La la la la. I personally have never been one for bedside devices, and I am sure even a personalized device is a poor substitute for the real deal, but it IS super funny and a memorable and unique personalized Vday gift, for sure! Lol.
Don’t want to drag this meme out – but in a serious and thoughtful way, I surely hope that Stephanie never has need of the personalized device. Hopefully, the real thing will always be available to her. Considering the line of work he is in. Thinking of Florida and other places today. Tomorrow is promised to no one.
p.s. As I am writing this, I’m suddenly aware of the lyrics to the song playing in the background “… yesterday’s gone and tomorrow may never come. But we have this moment today.” Weird those words should be sung just as I finish this, but true.
It was mostly just a funny gift – but he works really late sometimes – like my Batman or something. And yes, Bloom LOL I told him it would never be able to be as good as him….
…
And that’s so tragic, RichardP. There have been A TON of officer shootings also recently not connected to the school shootings happening recently. It’s always scary and really tests, and then strengthens, my trust in God that His perfect will is what will prevail in the end.
As much as I **didn’t** want to be married to someone in that scary of a profession, I’m so grateful for how much I’ve learned through it and grown as a wife and mother. I never thought I would be strong enough – have enough resilience and independence to be a police wife, but God’s grown me in those ways and now I’m getting to help new wives coming in that are scared and lonely and don’t know how to deal.
I gave my wife some flowers chocolate and a bottle of champagne to share – but 2 days before Valentine’s Day. First woman in the country to score, I told her – and I’m betting I was the first guy in the country to score, as well 🙂
@Hans, now that’s a well laid plan!!! Lol. Welcome!
Rather than pin all the love and romance on a single day, why not make everyday Valentines Day by showing love and kindness to those in your life as well as to yourself every day of the year?
yes ,i totally agree with you.My husband loves me more by each day and every day is special in our marriage.
