Tomorrow (today) marks what I have always considered a Hallmark holiday. I mean, really! Think about it! Who makes the most money if not one of the biggest card manufacturers in the world? Who stands to benefit the most on this day? Who made it such an 'in' thing to celebrate? Who makes such a big deal out of it that it pressures girls/women to pressure their boys/men?

Top 5 things NOT to do on Valentines day!
1. Don't drink & dial -- This is not the time to over imbibe and call your ex. Actually, there's never a good time to drink and dial.
2. Don't stay home alone feeling sorry for yourself if you know you'll be lonely. Instead, meet up with a friend, go to a movie, volunteer at a homeless shelter -- do anything to get outside of yourself.
3. Don't eat the entire box of chocolates you bought yourself. Binge eating to numb the loneliness will only make you feel worse the next morning.
4. Don't press your face against restaurant windows to peer longingly at the couples inside. Instead, peruse a gourmet food store for a special meal to treat yourself -- you deserve it.
5. Don't resent your coupled friends. Jealousy is unattractive and will only cause tension. Open up your heart and then love will find you.
