Happy Valentines day all & QOTD

Good morning all. My wonderful husban woke me up with diamond earings ,a box of choclate and a card, but truely the sweetest gift I have ever received on valentines day was actually a day early 3 yrs ago and we call her princess Colleen.

WOW now that's romance baby! Princess Colleen now that's adorable. We call my daughter princess as well, she came after three boys so to finally have a girl was really something special. ANDI

AS a Guy I will have to jump in and be sappy also. Princess came for you the day before Valentines and my Princess Malea came the day after in 2001. She turns 6 tomorrow and I love the little squirt. My other daughter was born two days before christmas. and My son was just the odd ball and was born 3/30 actully near Easter. 1. I am happy for my better health that my surgery has given me. 2. I am happy that I was able to go fight a structure fire yesterday and not get totally wasted a little in to it. I was one of the last volunteers to leave. (of course I am sore today) But a happy sore doing what I love. 3. I am happy for the three bright stars in my life my kids and my shining star my wife Diana. 4. I am happy for my father living with us and helping me and my family more then he could ever know. (of course he annoys the hell out of me at times) Try living with your father at 37 with your family. 5. I am most happy with my friends that I have met on my WLS journey and are close friends. Bob

well hello and welcome back to the May boards, nice to see you! I'd like to think i'm one of the people you are most thankful for on this journey as you are on my journey as well. Can't wait to see you on Sunday and party like we mean it. Hugs, ANDI

that sounds like a wonderful trip and very romantic.... now for him.. smack him upside the head next time and tell him to go get it for you next time.. and kick him till he gets up and goes.. lol.. could you see that..

Hi there Carla! Happy Valentine's Day! I'm not a happy camper today ... I specifically asked my husband to please NOT get me any candy today. What did he get me? A small box of candy. And he had each of the kids give me a small box of candy so now I have 3 boxes of candy! What is up with that? Is he trying to sabotage me? I gave my kids a piece of candy from the boxes they gave me and I ate one so they could see I ate a piece. Then I threw the rest away. The box that my husband gave me went with him to work ... I told him I didn't want it in this house and since he bought it, he needed to figure out what to do with it! Ha, ha! So much for a happy Valentines Day! I honestly can't think of anything romantic that my husband ever did for me. He's an Engineer ... enough said. Not a romantic bone in his body! He honestly tries but he just doesn't get it. I'm sitting here trying to remember anything that remotely could be considered romantic and I just can't think of anything! Now I'm really depressed!!! No fun plans for today ... I'm going to my Spin class at the gym! How exciting is that?! Deanna

since my one romantic time 17 years ago things are a lot like that for me as well.. I am sure in his own engineer way he feels he is romantic.. and although he brought u candy and had the kids do the same.. he did remember.. that is more than most can say. My boss brought in crossants and coco today for everyone.. he looked at me and said.. there was nothing for you there.. gee.. i feel special.. i just dont think guys think that deep. for a girl.. we would have scaned the earth for that perfect nothing just to show we took the time to show we cared.. go figure... you should take yourself out for a manacure of pedicure for valentines day.

I can totally relate, my husband is an engineer as well...LOL, He got me s/f candy or so he thought.... I decided to try some at the Houston airport and guess what (I dumped) In a BIG way.... Almost passed out throwing up at the airport and then our plane was delayed 2 hrs..... He did not even "have time" to get a card until we got to Vegas.... (business trip)

Ahh the most romantic event would have to be our engagement because he hasn't done one romantic thing since then. We went out to dinner and the sign at the door said "Congratulations Andrea & Larry" so i said how sweet is that there's someone here getting married with our names (i AM blonde check the roots) he started sweating because i really am pretty intelligent and sharp. We eat dinner and it was lovely and he surprised me with tickets to Phantom of the Opera in Manhattan. A terribly romantic night to be sure. It's intermission and i go to get up and he's like NO sit down we never get to talk, i was like uhhhh we just came from dinner and i've got to pee but he's insistent the (4) old biddies sitting behind us dont' move either and they are whispering about somethng so we are sitting and talking. All of a sudden behind us the song "all i ask of you" (my wedding song) is being sung i turn around in my seat and i damn near pooped myself, it's the phantom of hte opera up close and personal (understudy not Michael Crawford) and i turned to my boyfriend to say how fabulous this was and he's on teh ground, I thought he fainted. I hit the ground next to him until he said i just dropped something get back in your seat. He dropped the ring and was searching for it. He pops up as the song ends and asks me to marry him it was sweet and romantic and took weeks of preparation. The Phantom was gone as quickly as he arrived and teh biddies were all in tears! Hugs, ANDI

WOW WOW WOW.. now that was romantic.. I got tears just reading about it.. what a wonderful night and time to cheerish for always (wipes a tear)....
