Valentine's Day Part Two

Happy Friday, one and all! I just got back from doing a bit of shopping. While I was out I couldn't help myself and bought a couple of Valentine Day's hearts. We're talking those little things at the store that cost about 59 cents or thereabouts.

If I get anything more expensive, I think I'll shop for coupons, like this one -- Proflower code. Actually, I've discovered that there are a lot of coupon sites on the internet, so that if you are planning to shop somewhere, you can just google the place or the item and add 'coupon' or 'discounts' and come up with some good deals. It doesn't work all of the time, but it does some of the time.

With so many of us having to cut back on luxuries, coupons and discounts help a ton, so if you're shopping the internet, google and see what you can find.

I do love Valentine's Day, though. It's a nice day for watching some romantic films and listening to good love songs.

Until later!

Valentine's Day

Now that the Christmas and New Year holidays are over, it's time to start thinking about Valentine's Day. I remember years ago, back in school, when everyone would give cards to each other. It was a lot of fun. Do they still allow that in elementary school? They've cut so much out I'm not sure if they do or not.

I read the other day that people are looking for more unique gifts, things that are different than the traditional flowers and candy. That's why you see things like Valentine Gifts and other articles, even websites, devoted to how to have your Valentine's Day be even more special. Sometimes, it's just how you do it.

You know what? I'm traditional. I love flowers and treasure getting them, and I adore candy. Buy me a box of Sees or Godiva chocolates, no fruits, no nuts, just that luscious chocolate bordeaux or mints, and I'm a happy camper. I don't need unique. I just need the love of the tradition.

Is that really that crazy?
