I heart you, Albuquerque, and About.com readers! Here's hoping you have a wonderful, romantic Valentine's Day. Whether you're listening to a barbershop quartet singing you a valentine, preparing a special gift or having dinner out at a romantic restaurant, I hope this is a special day for you. Or perhaps a weekend at a hotel is in order? And if you're not part of a couple or looking for anything romantic, there are still plenty of fun events and activities you can indulge in, such as spa specials. (I'm thinking you deserve this!) Or maybe you should indulge in that rich, dark chocolate which is full of healthy antioxidants. Whatever you do today, I raise my champagne glass to you. We all deserve a bit of bubbly now and then. Enjoy!
