It's a big weekend ahead. Sunday is Valentine's Day and, since Monday is President's Day, many people will have a three-day weekend.

Of course, where I live, it's expected to be incredibly cold, so I'm looking for indoor things to do. In addition, I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of going out on Valentine's Day. It tends to be overpriced and over-crowded. So my boyfriend and I will cook a nice dinner at home and just enjoy the time together. Maybe share a good bottle of wine or work on a project or some planning together.

Now, if your single, you may hate Valentine's Day. But why? Treat it as a day to do something for yourself. It can be as simple as taking a long hot bath while reading a good book or picking up your favorite dessert from the bakery. Or you could think more long-term. Maybe sign up for a class to learn a skill that intrigues you. Do the research to plan a wonderful vacation. Undertake a small project to make your home more comfortable (rearrange furniture, paint a wall, make new covers for your throw pillows).

Whatever you do, enjoy, and I'll catch you back here next week.
