<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">After weeks of deciding, I'm staying put on Valentine's Day.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">The one week Ruby Princess cruise leaving today just wasn't meant to be. Well, it was. It's just not the right time for me.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Because anything that smells of a real vacation slips through my fingers, often at the last minute.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">And my quick little trip to LA also wasn't meant to be so I'm staying in New York this weekend.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Yesterday when I was leaving a Fashion Week Suite at the Bryant Park Hotel I walked by a few windows that were truly getting into the Valentine's Day spirit.

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Or not. Bitter much?

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">And this one is downright creepy.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Either way, Happy Valentine's Day to you and your sweetheart.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">"Valentine's Day is just another day"
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">A Facebook friend told me that. And you know Facebook friends are smart.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">So believe what he told me.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Even if deep down you'd rather be at Plunder with your Jack Donaghy eating a $1,000 dessert instead of at home watching <em>The Notebook</em> for the umpteenth time.</span>
