Me too! Thanks, meara!
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.
Go away, 2016.

Because books.
I'm putting a Secret Santa gift in the mail tomorrow! It's lifted my mood tremendously.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
As we were prepping our holiday cards, I started to sort them by Buffistas, family friends, people who know Kelly's boyfriend C, etc so that people could sign the cards of folks they knew. I was resoundingly told no - they all wanted to sign all the cards. Which, hey cool. But for any who got cards from me, that fourth signature, with a last initial...that is Kelly's bf. My unofficial future son-in-law.
I'm having fun with the fact that I have two people with the same name living in the house this Christmas. My traditional Christmas gifts to CJ include a bunch of nerd shirts. Well, I also bought C a few nerd shirts and a couple more for Kelly. All 18 shirts are wrapped and the TO line says "Cory". Even the ones for Kelly. The boys wear different size shirts and Kelly's are very obviously hers, so it will be up to them to figure who gets what. I'm a dork, but as a family we have a tradition of wrapping at least one thing in an obnoxious/fun manner.

Okay, it looked like Cory (son) signed it twice. I didn't realize that Kelly's bf had the same name (or if I knew, I forgot). Now I know what happened!

It does get interesting with the two of them in the house. I often call my son CJ or Ceeej (I don't know how to spell it) and the bf Cory. But they have finally accepted the plural - Corys. As in, "Hey Kelly, are the Corys coming with us today?".
Kelly and C are looking at getting their own place in March. As much as I know they need their own place, especially in prep for his daughter to move out here, I'm already mentally going through "this is the last Christmas with everyone at home" and other such "lasts".
I know this is more Natter than Goodbye and Good Riddance. Though I guess in a way it is Goodbye and Good Riddance (ok, not so much the last part).
