Thanks for joining me Over Coffee

seemed a natural progression. By adding a blog to my site, I can speak about my passions and life, share my writing, art

You spent how much? According to the National Retail Federation (NRF) as reported in an article on Silver Chips Online ("Making Valentine's Day great with or without a date"), we spent $1.09 bill on Valentine's candy last year--including more than 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate sold just for Valentine's Day alone.
The article also shares that while men spend an average of $125.96 on Valentine's Day, while women only spend $38.22. Tsk, tsk. Of course, if part of that $125.96 is spent on some of that va-va-va-voom Victoria's Secret lingerie, then that's sort of a gift for both of the woman AND the man.
