Cowboy moaned and groaned the whole night but he went Christmas shopping with me. He carted me around to every mall, shopping center and store that I wanted to go to. He was a little bah-humbug the whole time but he did it. He doesn't have a lot of money so he doesn't really feel like he can spend lots of money.
I received a little blessing in my pay check today. My boss did my evaluation (6 months late) and I got retro pay. I always think its going to be more but I was thankful for what I got. This will let me do my Christmas shopping with out much guilt.
The work Christmas party was a smashing success. I've gotten started on my Christmas shopping and all my little projects are done.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel and rest is on the way. My back is still hurting but I have a few pain pills from my eye surgery that I may take to help me sleep.
On a side note, we have not heard from or spoken to Cowboy's daughter for about 5 months. We found out her new phone number and Cowboy called her. She's mad at him and the call didn't go so well. A couple of days later I called her and invited her over around Christmas. I talked with her again last night and she agreed to come over next week. Say a prayer that she follows through.
Off to bed, lots of shopping to do tomorrow!

Cowboy is such a great guy for going out shopping with you. I am just like Cowboy.....I don't like to shop unless I have $$ to shop with.
You are wonderful for helping Cowboy and his daughter work things out. Even though they may not thank you, I know they appreciate you doing this. I do hope she comes by to see you guys.
Have a great weekend.
Just thank your stars that you have someone to help you with it, even being a bit humbug about it. Jus' sayin'.
Lynilu--you are right. I am thankful that he went with me.
