To vALenTineS or nOT

At the economic situation we are all in, I'm one of the supporters of the 'be practical' movement like, 'why ride when you can walk', 'why pay for that, when you can get it for half the price', etc...

But when it comes to Valentines day.... I'm a hopeless romantic and a sucker for flowers.  Husband hates the thought of wasting money on flowers, since he reasons, that the money used to pay for the damn expensive-will-wilt-in-the-morning flowers is almost equivalent to half what he spends on us when we dine out.

Ok fine.  So little 'ol romantic me went home early and prepared my dinner out outfit, only to find out, husband made other plans, which I wont divulge at baka may nakababasa. lol.  

So next year, I know now what to do... to not expect. lol.
