Back to Blogging

Long time no blog...

Things have been pretty calm for me lately, which is nice. Over the weekend Shawn, the boyfriend, and I decided to start our Christmas shopping. Let me tell you, that was an experience! We got up fairly early Saturday to go shopping because the good football games were on later in the day and neither of us wanted to miss them. We ventured to the mall, which was oh so crowded. You would have thought it was either the day after Thanksgiving or the week before Christmas with how packed it was. Our list for the day consisted of my sister and grandparents and his mom and grandmother. It was bound to be an interesting day.

We started off looking for my sister because we figured she would be the hardest to shop for. I didn't realize how grouchy a guy could be when you take them Christmas shopping. Shawn was fine shopping for my sister but after that I could see his attention span dwindling. All he wanted to do was go over to the food court and eat. That's when the fun began. I guess you could call it a mini arguement, because neither of us was yelling or drawing attention to the scene, but there was some raised voices at times.

Shawn wanted to leave and was getting aggitated with me because I wouldn't let him until we finished shopping for his mom and grandma. He really didn't care to shop and when I asked him what they liked or needed to potentially speed up the process all he did was snap at me that he didn't know and that shopping was stupid.

That went over real well with me, Not! I became irritated at this point becuase it was actually his idea to go ahead and get some of our shopping out of the way. But, what did I know, I guess that just meant shop for one person and be done.

We got everything worked out and got what we needed for everyone on this short list, but I thnk in the future Shawn might not be allowed to go shopping with me. Or if he does, it won't be on a football day.
