It’s there… looming. Oh yes, the Superbowl hype and parties and such allow you to ignore it this weekend, but then there it is, blocking out all light on the horizon. What singles refer to as “Black Sunday.” Couple of suggestions. First, you may warily consider seeing the movie Valentine’s Day with its “all-star ensemble… Continue reading valentines planning
Here’s an interesting blog post reviewing an article about why women are finding it harder to find Mr. Right.
