Answer: A hug and quiche!
Ooh la la. Don't you just love love? Honestly, couldn't resist the joke. I don't think it would really be Valentine's Day be without a gushy romantic pun or two.
Today is the day for Hallmark greeting cards, chalky pastel-colored hearts, and long stemmed roses. Today is also Monday. You know what that means - it's also time for - drum roll please - another round of Spruce Up Your Monday!
Ready? Here. it. is. Not sure what to do with this day of lovey-doveyness?
Take a cue from some truly great movies about l-o-v-e and do what they do. Hollywood reenactment at its finest.
First up, we have P.S. I Love You. Whether you're with your significant other or not, get all dolled up and sing some karaoke! Belt out your best Broadway-style version of "I Honestly Love You" or "Killing Me Softly." Or any other song that falls in between those two extremes. Guaranteed good time with only a slight possibility of falling and breaking your nose. Totally worth it.
Next, who could forget the "this is not a love story" love story. Channel your inner Joseph Gordon-Levitt and have yourself a big helping of expectations. Fingers crossed they will meet up with reality, unlike this poor bloke in 500 Days of Summer. You almost had us fooled, Zooey, but in the end, he just wasn't suit-and-tie enough for you, was he?
Looking to do something a little dangerous? Grab yourself a man and lie in the middle of the road. Preferably a mostly deserted side street. That way, you can truly connect with one another in the stillness of the moment, looking up at the sky and thinking about the tragically beautiful journey that lies ahead of you. So very Notebook of you.
If you're really fearless, find a poster board and a fat Sharpie and tell someone - like the BFF you've had a secret crush on for all time - how you feel about them. That you Love them, Actually. This is most effective when the recipient of your heart's desires is not currently married to your best friend. Ruh roh, Mark. This Juliet is already taken.
When you receive a ginormous, overstuffed present from your boyfriend, proceed to carry it around everywhere you go. For the whole day. Like TSwift in Valentine's Day. Oh, what a precious bear you have there. Super excited for you and Boy Taylor. Especially excited about how silly you look trying to stuff that in your locker.
