I’d like to wish everyone out there a great Valentine’s Day–a day filled with romance, roses, and lots of chocolate.

And while you’re here…let me share a few Valentine’s Day trivia facts:

1. 15% of women in the U.S. will send themselves flowers. (Tell me…do you know someone planning to do this?)

2. Estimates are that 1 billion Valentines cards will be exchanged. (But you still know some poor kid is gonna get left out of the exchange!)

3. Pets will get gifts–about 3% of the pets in the U.S. will get some sort of Valentine’s presents. (I’m actually surprised this number isn’t higher–I know my friend Ashley got her dog a gift!)

4. Signing a Valentine’s card in the Victorian period was believed to bring the signer-in-question bad luck.

5. Don’t be surprised if your guy hasn’t got a romantic evening planned–64% of U.S. men do not make advanced plans for a fun and romantic Valentine’s Day.
