What to Do when Valentine's Day Is...Just Another Day?

I'm a creative guy and over the years I like to think Kristen has been surprised by it. Especially on special occasions like Mother's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, and Valentine's Day. However, I must admit over the years rust - or maybe it is a lack of motivation - has formed around the edges.

The push-pull of work, Little Man, and life's daily episodes along with the comfort (and perhaps complacency) of nearing a decade of being in a relationship with thy wifey(counting the courting!) can dull the senses when it comes to the 'little things that count' adage. I just realized I'm in that mode and don't like being in this rut.

Must. Break. Free. Suggestions?

Keep hearing these great commercials for Flirty Girl on Grand---fun dance classes such as pole dancing, lap dancing as well as spa services. The commercial says you will both benefit and it sounds kind of fun! Not sure if Kristin would be into that or not but...

Good suggestion Sarah!

We don't really do anything, but your post has sorta got me thinking...have fun whatever you do!

To keep the romance going through out the year, we have monthly "Jenn Day" and "Tom Day". On these days we either surprise the other with a special gift or do something extra nice for them. It's just a nice way of reminding the other that you appreciate them and love them.
