Can't Help Loving That Kid of Mine
I'm very proud of my daughter for finishing the school year with all A's, and being able to exempt three exams. I'm Mom to a high-schooler now.
Holy crap.
But in a great way.
In other news, I had left my Hilton Honors frequent guest account alone for somewhere in the neighborhood of 9 or 10 years. Finally got around to getting an account made online this morning, after one call to customer service.
Half a million points.
Cool.
So I used points to book hotels in Madrid and Berlin this summer. Still have to get rooms in Rome. But at the moment, we've got first-class round trip airfare, and 7 of 10 nights in 4 or 5 star hotels, and have spent 71 dollars and change.
Speaking of change, if I can't find a room in Rome with points, then I'll just pay for the room, and theoretically anyway, pay for it out of the change jar. Shea asked the other day if I knew how much I had in there.
"I know exactly how much is in there."
Pause.
"Four hundred and ninety dollars."
Any we don't spend on travel will be spent on other things. Lladros for Mommy. No telling what Sheaness will choose.
Big congratulations are also in order for my one and only niece who graduated from high school on Friday night.
Funny the way it is though. I don't feel old.
I just feel lucky.
