colliebabe, which winery? We're members at Cosentino and St. Supery. I'm a wine club junkie. We're heating back to Napa for a wedding in September-- woot!
ainslie325 It's from Carhartt in Santa Barbara - the owner is the grandson of the Carhartt clothing company. I am so jealous you are going to Napa! I was just telling H I want to do a San Fran/Napa trip. I've never been!
Sooooo worth doing! We went summer '13 with three other couples and rented a little house in a residential neighborhood in Napa. It was super affordable (relative to some of the other schmancy places yo can find in the surrounding towns), and, while there were no stunning vineyard vistas, it did have a hot tub and it was close to Whole Foods and the downtown storefront wineries and Oxbow Market. We had a great time-- even rented bikes one day and put 25 miles on them between five different wineries. It was awesome!

I went to buy a card last week and couldn't bring myself to spend $6-$7 on a card so I left empty handed. Still haven't figured out what I'm going to do for a gift so I'm no help!
I bought a card yesterday and didn't realize until I left the store that it cost $8.00! Wtf?! It's paper!!!
I'm trying to get a consensus going that all holidays should be celebrated with someecards.
We generally do a nice night out sometime around the 14th but not on the 14th (because it's a huge pain to get a good table anywhere in NYC, where we started dating, or LA, where we live now)... but this year we haven't even talked about it. We did talk about going to Palm Springs for the 3 day weekend, which might happen depending on how much sleep we get in the next few days.

Depending on your budget there's this great hotel called the Del Marcos Hotel..it's got this great vintage feel and is totally classy. It's my favorite place to stay in Palm Springs.

Thanks for the recommendation. We have a crazy amount of Hyatt points and will probably stay at the Hyatt Regency out there if we can get away.
LO seems to get uncharacteristically fussy and/or off schedule whenever DH and I plan a date night, quality time, etc., so we've started joking that she REALLY doesn't want a younger sibling.
DH came home from work for lunch today and I asked him what he was thinking about vis-à-vis Valentine's Day presents and he was like... "it's when, next weekend?" I said "No, it's Saturday." He said, "well then I'm thinking oh crap!"
I bought an overpriced card today from Target. We're planning on making a nice dinner at the house and making chocolate covered strawberries. We aren't exchanging presents, but I'm planning to try to have sex. We'll see how well that goes since my pap smear today almost killed me. The thought of my vagina being annihilated again (vaginal birth) makes me want to cry.
Dinner (Claim Jumper yum!) Movie (not sure yet) Wine Wine More wine Sex

HOLY SHIT I want the Claim Jumper part of the night! I'm on the east coast so whenever I travel to a state that has any I shovel it in. So jealous.
We actually never do Valentine's Day. We always just did Christmas, birthdays and our anniversary and now we will be adding Mother's and Father's Days and really that is quite enough gift giving occasions. However, a college gymnastics meet falls on that day and we were thinking about going to one to see if we enjoyed it, so we might drop little mister off with my parents and go on a Valentine's Day "date" to see gymnasts!
Steak and a bj is it's own day, it's March 14th. Supposed to make it up to men for being all romantic and girly on Valentine's day. Unless my husband made this up?! If so, I'll still play along because that's a pretty cunning scheme.
We usually cook on V day. My SIL and her hubby will be staying with us so I'm not sure about any sexy time... she's a pastry chef though and will be making dessert so it's a good trade!

Lol no, we celebrate March 14 also. It's a real thing. And this year I think he's trying to go big for Valentines day, so I guess that means I'll have to cook a damn good steak to make up for it
I had never heard of the March 14 holiday, is it regional? I'll happily exchange a bj for a fancy steak dinner, especially if there's a Cabernet Sauvignon involved... I might even put some effort into it if the wine is free flowing.

This is seriously a thing? I'm glad (but surprised) DH doesn't know about this.
I wasn't aware this was a thing...I do this anyways...

Just a card and we'll probably plan a late night nice dinner at home for after LO goes to bed. Hoping for sexy time tonight or tomorrow since I get the mirena again on Friday.
