A Week Later and A Day Short

I went to doctor’s office on Valentine’s Day. The day that people gorge themselves with chocolates, and candy hearts. It is the day that people are giving roses and Herseys kisses and M&Ms with personalized messages on them. Is anyone aware that the smallest amount you can get the M&Ms for is $60.00 How does that even make sense?<-----BREAK--> Is this like a Mastercard commercial? Personalized M&Ms: $60.00. Shipping charges: $10.00. Seeing your partner smile as they read I Love You : Priceless. Well, Valentine's Day isn't priceless. I don't mean to be a pessimist, I prefer informant. Maybe it's my inner kid in me, the same kid that at 13 made a sash for this very day that read MS. ANTILOVE and wore it around school. Ok, I know, that was a bit ridiculous and overdone. But, at that age, I thought I was making a statement!
Now, you may be asking how exactly I know that the personalized M&Ms are $60.00. Well, the truth is that I looked it up. Let me explain: It was the day before Valentine's Day and I had nothing to give my partner. Frankly, I did not even remember the next day was a test of my affection. You see, I had a doctor's appointment. And, who likes doctor's appointments? No one I can think of. That's all that I was thinking. I was completely aware that my appointment fell on Valentine's Day, because the lovely receptionist's jaw nearly dropped when I requested that day, with an exclamation of something like, BUT THAT IS VALENTINE'S DAY As if the world doesn't continue to spin.
Sorry, I got a little sidetracked there. Back to how I found out about the personalized M&Ms. So, I visited the website and kept staring at the cursor that was blinking under message 1 . What could I possibly write without dripping with sarcasm and cheesiness. Now, I know my sarcasm is appreciated sometimes, but I don't think it could possibly be understood or appreciated on a couple hundred chocolate coated candies. Then after finding the actual price of the a message I could literally scrawl on a post-it, which I think would be much more romantic finding next to the bed or something, I decided this wasn't the present for me.
Then I thought about plays or stand-up comedy shows. But, I couldn't find a show that didn't revolve around this very day. I was not interested in watching baby cupids float about the stage. I thought about baking a cake, but that was my fall back surprise for every past anniversary, he was probably expecting it.
Long story long, it just hit me - and I wasn't happy with my realization. I was getting hung up over Valentine's Day I was twiddling my thumbs and twirling my hair because of this Hallmark Holiday for lack of a better phrase. Like I said, my sarcasm and wit isn't always appreciated, especially among cupid believers.
