Another Christmas is fast approaching and I have not even decided what holiday gifts I want to get for my parents. It’s hard enough that my vehicle is in the repair shop and getting a ride from a friend to go shopping is not an option for me. So I guess I’ll have to tune in to the television shopping networks and see what they have in store. I found a few things that I liked for my parents while watching the other day and the prices were quite reasonable.

My grandparent’s golden fiftieth wedding anniversary will soon be approaching so our family decided to do something extra special for them for their special day. We all went together to travel agencies to discuss different unique cruises. The ones that appealed to us the most was the European cruises. We knew that was one that our grandparent’s would never pay to go on themselves. We combined our money and got one of the nicest and fanciest European cruises they offered. Now, we can’t wait til their anniversary is here to finally be able to surprise them with it. We know they will be so surprised and happy.

My wife goes at least once a month to a spa to get a message treatment, facial and her nails done. She has done this for over a year now. It makes her feel so much relaxed and confident about herself. She recently noticed that her face had a few blackheads and other blemishes on it. She began searching for different treatments that she could get to help with these problems. She had tried many products available at different stores, to which none of them gave her the result she was looking for. She read about microdermabrasion. She decided to talk to a doctor about this procedure. Our insurance did not cover it, because it was considered a cosmetic procedure. The price was reasonable, so she decided to try it. Now, she goes every month and sometimes twice a month for microdermabrasion. She recently purchased a package that covers several treatments, which ended up saving her money, since she was going to be going that many times anyway. Microdermabrasion always leaves her feeling refreshed and she never has any side effects from it. She is so glad she began with these procedures and will continue getting them.

My friend is getting ready to get married. The wedding is a couple months away. He was going to have all the guys in the wedding wear a tuxedo. He has now changed his mind. Now he has decided that he will wear a tuxedo and the rest of the guys that are standing up with him will wear nice matching suits. All the guys need to be fitted for them, so they can be altered to fit perfectly. We plan on going with him at the same time so we can all be fitted on the same day that he is fitted for his tuxedo. That way we can be sure that the suits all match and are the same color and his tuxedo is the same color, too.

My girlfriend’s sister always has debt collection agencies calling her and her boyfriend because they have a hard time paying some of their bills on occasion. I was talking to her boyfriend the other day while they were over at our place, and he was talking about spending all of this money on Black Friday deals and how he’s going to buy them a new big screen plasma 1080p TV and I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I try not to say anything to them about how badly they manage their money just to keep things cool between us, but that was just ridiculous.

My girlfriend is always saying she wants to start taking diet pills and that she’s fat and needs to lose weight. Personally I don’t find super skinny women all that attractive. My girlfriend is about 5′7″ and weighs 125 pounds. Her mom gained a bunch of weight as she got older and I think my girlfriend is worried that she’s going to do the same thing. She ordered some Alli weight loss pills, but I hope she doesn’t end up using them. She’s perfect!

Yesterday my girlfriend and I went bed shopping. We looked at several different bed frames and matching bedroom furniture packages at what seemed like 200 different stores. I finally just gave up on my opinion and let her pick out whatever she wanted. I spend most of my time in our entertainment room or in my garage, so it wasn’t as important to me as it was to her. She picked out a decent set of furniture, though. I have no complaints.

For the last couple of weeks my girlfriend has been going on and on about joining a wine of the month club. She heard a few of her friends at work talking about it and it sounds like a great idea to her. I keep telling her that I’m not at all interested, but I think I’m going to go ahead and join one of the wine clubs as a gift to her for Christmas this year. She does a lot of things that she doesn’t really want to do, just to make me happy, so this is the least I can do for her.

My girlfriend’s father and I have always gotten along very well. This hasen’t been the case with any of my previous girlfriends. My girlfriend’s dad actually enjoys hanging out with me on the weekend. Last month when he came over to pick me up to go golfing, he actually gave me a new set of Titleist golf clubs. I’ve never really received a gift like that from anyone before in my entire life. These aren’t pawn shop or bargain bin priced clubs. These are top notch professional quality golf clubs he gave me. I guess I’m just lucky.

Last week I went over to my girlfriend’s parents house to help with a new fence installation. Her parents are getting up there in age and I didn’t really think that they needed to be out in the heat putting up a new privacy fence. It took about 4 hours to get the entire fence up and they were very happy with the results. I enjoy helping people when I can. The looks on their faces and all of the thank-you’s that I received made it all worth while.
