Valentine’s Day is just two days away, that’s 48 hours, fellas! If you haven’t gotten your special sweetheart anything yet; you might want to get on that. Seriously… right now. Pick up the phone and dial (856) 983-0055, we’ve got you covered! We’ve got roses galore! Everyone here has been working long and hard to get through this holiday as painlessly as possible for you. Which is why we present to you Bakanas Flowers’ very own “Passionate About Roses” arrangement. This stunning arrangement of 18 premium Long-Stem red roses in a Ruby Keepsake vase is one of our most popular Valentine selections. We also have roses by the dozen and half dozen in shades of red, white, pink, hot pink, and yellow. You may pick them up or have them delivered locally. 
In my sparse down-time between extra hours and Shakespeare/Anglo-Saxon poetry reading assignments I managed to sneak in a little “Modern Family”. Valentine’s Day was in full swing at the Dunphy residence. The parent’s, Phil and Claire, were preparing to embark on a quiet dinner date. The kids were left at home where Alex, the middle daughter, settled down to a “Love Actually” phone date with her boyfriend. I’ve always thought “Love Actually” to be a Christmas movie (my favorite Christmas movie, actually) but thinking about it, it’s also a great Valentine’s Day movie, and would make a fantastic date; second to pizza, Finding Nemo, and Mario Kart (who could say no to that?). So if you’re looking for something to do Monday night get some roses, a nice bottle of wine, pop in “Love Actually”, and listen to the eternal words of Hugh Grant, “Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around.” So many times we get wrapped up this holiday that it becomes almost a chore. So let’s get the love back in Valentine’s Day. On Monday, love actually will be all around. To all those couples out there, enjoy your day! If you’re single, embrace it! Love is just around the corner. -Liz
