RANDOM: Saint Valentines Day - not for me

Went to the local pub last night for drinks and burger with my BB. (and the fellow snowmobile crasher, JL cuz his sweetie is in England) Not particularly romantic was it? I am so not into the whole Valentines Day torture. Poor men. I think they get a bad rap on this one. I think my man should make me feel loved, needed and wanted on a daily basis and not let it all hinge on a made up DAY. The flowers are marked up triple the price, the restaurants are packed, the jewelry stores have line ups out the door (we wish). The expectations are out of this world. A recipe for disaster. Except for the jewelry part. I would accept jewelry. Just a medium size diamond. Not too big.
