Christmas Shopping

This past weekend Mike and I went Christmas shopping and had a blast.

We spend like 2 hours at AC Moore Craft store.

He is worst than a woman when it comes to making up his mind what he wants to do and get.

There was this clip from utube that Mike sent me a few weeks ago with a rabbit that talked all he said was "ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya". He was traded for a bag of skittles. After a while the guy who wanted the rabbit wanted to return him because all he did was say "ya ya ya ya ya ya" It was extremely funny. When we headed to the mall every now and again we would act silly and start making noises. So we walked through the mall and occasionally started singing "Ya ya ya -- ya ya -- ya ya ya ya"

I spent a little more money than I had planned to. But I got all my shopping finished.

I got Mike a few more gifts. He would see something he liked and I would say ok lets get it. He would sort of protest but how can you protest when you really want something.

Plus I feel he does deserve to get a little spoiled. He has been doing very well with the not drinking. And Saturday was the best time we had spent together in a while. We were laughing and having fun. There was no stress or oddness between us.

There was even this one time.......We were at Wal-mart in New Hartford. We were looking for wrapping paper, tape and some odds and ends. We went back by the craft section and he saw these little figurines that you paint. They showed a picture of birds, turtles, horses, cats, dogs, frogs etc.

Mike said he wanted to get me one to paint for Christmas. I told him he didn't have to because he didn't have much money. He kept on insisting and finally turned around and with a very stern voice said to me, "You spent $30 on a jacket for me I think I can buy a turtle for 44 cents for you!"

I burst out laughing. I couldn't help myself. He was SO SERIOUS.

Then he mentioned how it wasn't a fair trade and he felt bad because he wanted to be able to give me more.

It was sweet and it still makes me laugh when I think of it. I can still see his face and hear his voice in how he said it. Stern, but upset and he said it very quickly.

LOL

What I really want is just he love and attention. For him to pamper me and make me feel special, wanted, needed.

That would be the best gift ever.

We never got home until midnight!
