The Boy gets a Jeep and Darci gets a virus

Well, almost. There are still some details to work out, money to change hands, and papers to be signed, but if all goes well he should be driving his new wheels Monday or Tuesday.

He's so happy he's practically vibrating. And I completely understand.

I was about his age when my parents bought my Toyota Landcruiser, which was very similar to this Jeep. Well, except this Jeep has air conditioning and it's green. And it probably won't spend as much time in snow, creeks, and deeply rutted roads as the Landcruiser did (although I'm sure it would if this area wasn't so infested with freeways).

Instead of a Jeep, Darci got a virus of some sort. She has no energy, is running a fever, and even turned down ice cream and Pringles. This can't be good. She had a doctor visit this afternoon, and for now, it's nothing serious. Except these not really serious virus' have a way of doing bad things to Riley. For now he is perky and rambunctious.


Although who wouldn't be perky and rambunctious if they got ice cream for lunch? Hopefully Darci will get better soon and Riley will dodge this thing.

I think those two are going to like that Jeep as much as The Boy.

That's it - move along...
