I finally got my Texas license plates, after the sticker shock of paying $176!!! And that was after paying $40 for the inspection and emissions test. Turns out that Texas charges new residents a "new resident tax" of $99! The one amusing part of the whole ordeal was when I watched one of the employees (i think her name was LaKeishia) pick up a bottle of lotion, casually ...

So I've been back for a while and last week went by in a flash. Nashville was nice, but cold and a little rainy. Michelle and I stopped by Dillards on the way home from the airport to get a few presents we had discussed over the phone. They consisted of: a nice silver watch by Anne Klein, a red leather Fossil purse and a cute matching black change ...

Well, I turned in my test project yesterday for the job I mentioned earlier. Today I recieved an email saying they got it, and they're really slammed and they'll contact me after a trade show they're busy with.

Blah ta da dat da da dat, tonIIIIIIIIght!" Yeah. I know. Of all the songs from that ...

Ok, so basically everyone came to visit, everyone got and gave gifts. The kitties tried to eat tinsel and the tree dried out. Since I last posted, I've seen King Kong, Munich and Memoirs of a Geisha. I've eaten Christmas Dinner at a hotel, hit La Madeleine twice in one day, cooked Tomato Basil Chicken and had my parents cook for me. I even had a toilet over ...
