And now a lesson in Assertiveness.................

"Honey.....Valentine's Day is next week.

I know you love me for whom I am, and not what I look like,

but if you bring me home a box of chocolate you are cut off.

And let's face it, since I have been looking better and feeling better I have been receiving a lot of attention, a lot of looks. They're lining up waiting for me to be single again. So don't screw up this year."

Please practice the above before delivering it to that special person in your life.

And for those of you who are celebrating Valentine's Day alone, start shopping for something to show yourself how much you love you.
