Romance Authors Recommend...the Best Valentine's Day Gifts

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and if you're still looking for the perfect gift for your special someone, look beyond the candy heart and flowers. Shana Galen recommends... Offer to do a chore your valentine dislikes or might enjoy a break from. I'd love it if my husband would walk the dog one morning so I can sleep in or fold the laundry so I can put my feet up. Pixabay.com Gina Conkle recommends coffee dates... I love when Brian (hubs) suggests we go to Starbucks or one of our local coffee houses. It means quiet, uninterrupted conversation with him, and coffee dates don't cost much. Have a great Valentine's Day! Samantha Chase recommends: Making time to just be together.  It doesn't have to be a big romantic dinner or anything wild, just taking the time out of our hectic lives to spend an hour together to sort of catch up and reconnect.  So hard sometimes to remember to make time for each other, so pull up a chair, have some coffee or a favorite...

It's only 360 days until Christmas!!!

A week ago the house looked like this... A mere five days later and the poor old tree looks bare with no presents under it. For a while the house looked like this when there was a hundred dollars worth of pretty paper all torn up, wadded up and tossed to one side. I wondered if it could be ironed and reused but then thought of all the hours and I'd probably scorch it anyway...it went into the big black garbage bag. I set the scales back ten pounds but oh, no, the dang things are still weighing heavy. It has to be the toe socks. I bet they're causing all that extra weight. Red and green stripes and those fancy jeweled things on the big toes weigh at least twenty pounds, don't you think? And poor old Santa...bless his heart is probably trying to figure out a way to write up his letter of resignation. Everything about him has been deflated from yard ornaments to his energy. Hopefully by the time Mrs. Santa has a visit with him, he will decide that he'll try it...

Cures for the V-Day Hangover

If you're reading this, several things may have happened to you last night. 1. You may have had a romantic evening with your significant other, which ended up with a bottle of wine and a pair of fluffy handcuffs. 2. You may have spend the night on the town with your single friends, partying it up like the wild young things you are. 3. You may have spent the night alone crying into a family-sized bag of Cheetos and watching "An Officer And A Gentleman" for the seventeenth time. From Wikimedia Commons If any of these things happened to you, you may have what I like to call the Valentine's Day Hangover. You know the feeling. That crash at the end of a conversation-heart sugar buzz, that irritation of spending a hundred bucks on a teddy that lasted about thirty seconds, the soul-crushing loneliness of realizing your relationship with a book boyfriend is totally one-sided. Yeah. I get all these things. So here's a fantastic cure for what ails you. The hair ...
