Valentine’s Day is one week away.  For those who celebrate, here are some things to keep in mind:

• If you plan to give flowers, place your order within the next few days to allow time to schedule the delivery.  Keep in mind that flower prices are extra-high for Valentine’s Day — especially roses.
• If you want to eat out, you need to make a reservation today, unless you are dying to eat at 5:00 or 9:00.
• If you plan to cook dinner at home, decide on a menu now.  Stressing over recipes is not conducive to romance.
• Even if you don’t celebrate, consider buying a box of kiddie Valentines and handing them out to friends and co-workers.  Sometimes, acting like a 6 year-old is a good thing.
