I know what you mean about guilt/shame over the money. I gave my parents gift cards for Christmas, Mom for a craft store and Dad for Home Depot. Mom actually told me I should have used the money to pay bills instead and Dad didn't even acknowledge the card. I'm upset again just thinking about it. Heh. Anyway. YAY NEW BOOTS! I think it's awesome that you got them.
