Valentine's Day Your Way
The holidays are behind us until next year, which means the stores have started shoving pink and red hearts down our throats. I went shopping last weekend and saw a sea of Valentine's Day products on display -- everything from heart-shaped bathroom rugs to stuffed animals carrying Valentine messages.
I'm actually a big fan of Valentine's Day and any excuse to celebrate love. But I'd like to celebrate on my own terms in a way that best suits my husband and me. One of my cousins and her husband often celebrate happenings in their life by ordering Kentucky Fried Chicken and eating it with champagne on fine china. I love that about them because it shows that they do their own thing, make their own traditions, and find fun ways to connect. I urge all of you to do the same on Valentine's Day. You have a whole month to plan for it. No excuses.

I used to be a big fan of Valentine’s Day too. When I had someone in my life I’ve even been known to take the entire day off. But that was when I was young and idealistic. Now I’m old and cynical. For the record, I recommend being young and idealistic.
What a fun photo! I recently drove through Las Vegas and had to explain the profusion of wedding chapels to my children. Any location can be romantic, and this photo illustrates that point perfectly.
I agree – Valentine’s Day is great if you celebrate it in your own way!
