Valentine's Day: The Countdown Begins

The 14th is a mere 7 days out, and International Anxiety Week has begun. Only those in long-term relationships are really safe on this holiday - provided they remember it. Consider this your seven day warning.

To help you through the week, the FG is launching a 5 part series (she's far less ambitious than Steven Colbert). Call it the Five Days of Valentines, if you will. Why five? Because if you haven't made up your mind two days in advance, you're going to panic shop and the FG wants no part of that. Speaking of which, if you haven't made a dinner reservation yet, do it NOW.

Depending on your relationship status, if any, she'll dispense gift and event recommendations as well as advice on pitfalls to avoid. Whether to send to the office, what not to send to the office, perhaps even what to do if your relationship ends in the next few days (other than make a bulk purchase of facial tissue).

As always, it's not about me, but I'm secretly hoping for these (what can I say, it's Shuesday), courtesy of Shoewawa. I don't need the height, but the bows are SO pretty. Easily combined with tickets to the ballet.
