For those playing along at home, I've mentioned before that P, Crazy Dog and I will be moving back to the US within the next year or so. Although I don't have to, I've been looking for a new place to pick cotton, and I've applied for a few jobs in the last month. sidenote: for those of you who know about Uncle LeRoy's process, you know how crazy it is.
Today I was notified that I was referred for one of the positions that I applied for...in Los Angeles.
When I first found out, I wasn't very happy...until I found out how much my pay would increase (along with at promotion), then I got happy. This is basically the first step in the selection process. I also applied for 2 positions in Washington state, and I would be REALLY happy if I was referred for those positions.

In the What Was I Thinking category...I did ALL my Christmas shopping for P while we were in the States. I packed everything in 3 GIGANTE boxes and mailed them from VA. What's the problem you ask? I totally forgot how slow mail moves this time of the year. Today I picked up the smallest of the boxes from the mail room, and was told that the other 2 might not make it here before 1 January.
While in the VA, I bought the new iPod Video. I bought a Nano first, then I realized that for just $50 more, I can have 6,500 more songs, pictures AND video!! So I returned the Nano, paid the restocking fee and price difference, and bought a black iPod Video. It's NICE!!!
P has now claimed my pink iPod mini as her own. She calls it her MyPod. Maybe I'll wrap it and put it under the Christmas tree for her.

Thursday night is the LAST class of the LAST class that I need for my Bachelor's Degree. I just have to finish my portion of a group project, and it's OVAHHHHH!! It's been a LONG 3 years. I started school again (after 7 year break) in January 2003. My goal was to finish by December 2005. Mission accomplished!!

The tooth-es fairy left P $10 for both teeth. She wanted to buy a $15 DVD. I told her that she needed $5 more. She asked me to 'borrow' it to her, and said she'd pay me back when her other teeth come out and the teeth-es fairy leaves more money.
