Question of the Day
Is it Griffin...

...Or the kid from A Christmas Story?


You be the judge.

How Sweet It Is
Griffin never seems to tire of (quite literally) running laps through the living and dining rooms, chattering his way through some sort of toddler monologue and enjoying himself hugely the while.

Sometimes, he interrupts this wild career to run over to wherever I'm sitting, throw himself on me and give me a bear hug and a big: "Awwwww." (I cannot tell you how much I LOVE having an affectionate kid!)

Today, however, he added a twist. Instead of "just" a hug, he came over to my chair, wrapped his arms around me and started to rock us both side-to-side. After a moment or two of this, he said: "I so happy. I so happy."

Me, too, sonny. Me, too.

Aye Iz Uh Coluj Grajooat
What's more, that college education is now PAID OFF.

Thanks to the determined efforts and frugality of my husband, I got notice today that all of those pesky college loans have been paid in full. Hallelujah!

(Of course, the crazy part is that the letter thanked me profusely for paying off the debt. Since when do people deserve thanks for fulfilling willingly-assumed obligations instead of skipping out like complete deadbeats? Strange.)

Anyway, nice to have that monkey off my back. In case you're wondering, Scott still owes 44 cents on his loans, so he can't celebrate just yet...
