No one wants flowers or chocolate covered strawberries that have been in transit that long. And no one wants a Valentine's gift that arrives the day after.

This year, for the umpteenth year in a row, we will celebrate Valentine's Day on some other day - in this case, tonight February 10, the Friday before. Reservations are still tricky. I did not want to wait as late as I would have needed to at my first choice and went with another place that could seat us at our preferred time of 6:30.
I guess it's like staying home on New Year's Eve. I don't want to fight crowds and suffer inferior service. Anyone else or am I the only unromantic sort?

We're going out Saturday night, and I made reservations like 2-3 weeks ago (after confirming with the other that going out the weekend before was ok, naturally).

My Valentines Day will probably involve going to my weekly run club (they have sent out a facebook update to feel free to dress in stoplight colors to signify your RL status
) and then after (probably) striking out at run club, going home to watch some movie on Netflix.

Our local Southern Hospitality, Justin Timberlake's restaurant venture, is having a Valentine's Day prix fixe menu from 2/10-2/15. Based on our schedule, the only day that works for us happens to be tomorrow. Plenty of availability after 7:15pm even today.

I have a flank steak marinating, baked potatoes with sour cream and butter and zucchini for the grill. I'll probably raid the wine rack for something nicer than the 1.5 ML bottles we usually pour. No dessert, although I did treat Mrs. BamaVol to cinnamon donut holes for breakfast.

Around here, you name the restaurant, it was busy last night. Mrs. BamaVol would be disappointed and puzzled if I took her to Chow Time Chinese buffet for valentines day. Yet, there was a line of couples out the door as I drove past on my way home. I guess it's a treat if you don't go out frequently.
