Happy Valentines Day

Save the date folks because this Monday, Feb. 14 is going to be filled with cards, candy, flowers, hugs and kisses.

Flowers will range in numbers from one to a dozen and in some cases so many it's like your loved one bought out the florist shop. The day of course is Valentine's Day; this romantic holiday in which cards filled with messages of love will surely lift the spirit and bring about a smile from your loved one.

We all know that some people are sour about this day and others embrace it and enjoy some time with their loved ones. Whatever the case may be, take the time if you have that special someone and take them out to dinner, get them some candy, flowers, and by all means give them some hugs.

Many restaurants will expect an increase in customers this day, as well as your local stores that carry cards will start having some empty spots on the shelves. This card shortage makes shopping hard for some people that wait to the last minute to get a card. If you are that person that waits till the last minute, it's fine- a lot of us do it, even me.

Whatever your plans are for Monday, it doesn't matter, just make your loved one happy, enjoy your time with them and if money allows get them a nice card, chocolates and even some flowers. If money is abundant take the extra step and bring them out for a nice meal. What you ultimately decide is really only up to you, but have fun and be safe. Happy Valentine's Day!
