What are You Doing for Valentine’s Day?

1 Comment

Thursday’s are my busiest days at school. I barely get a lunch break–the 5 free minutes between classes I must use for the restroom. Eat or pee? Hmmm…. Not really a choice.

So by the time I get home this Thursday, I’ll be exhausted, not interested in fighting the holiday lovers for a place at the Restaurant Table. My husband of 29 years and I will eat in, chat, catch up, and likely go to bed early (although maybe Elementary is new on the Telly).

But, I realize most of you would like a bit more so I have a few ideas for you.

First, go to my post last Friday and you’ll find 20 Great Valentine Websites for your students. If you already finished these, read on:

Here’s Valentine history, according to Wikipedia. Who knew it all started with Geoffrey Chaucer?
Three great Valentine love poems from new efriend, Chris Wood. You can also drop by St. Valentine’s Day website for an entire list of heart-jerkers
Are you looking for pithy, concise Valentine sayings? Try Creating Really Awesome Free Things. Be forewarned: They belong on candy hearts. These are a bit longer, but still saccharin.
You not a serious, mushy sort of lover? Click here for quotes with a sense of humor.

Drop by Quote Garden for a romantic quote or two (“Loving is not just looking at each other, it’s looking in the same direction.” ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand, and Stars, 1939)
No time at all? Need an entire message? I got you covered with St. Valentine’s Day website.
