christmas countdown

I couldn't wait, I made david help me put up the tree on Dec. 1st.... i did most of the decorating, in my control freak way, while he sat back and put the hooks on the ornaments and handed them to me. He was pretty happy with that responsibility, he has been working non-stop lately, and really just wants to relax when he is actually at home. The tree is a fakey with white lights and red balls, and a smattering of my classic pooh ornaments that my mom posted to me last month from the states.
We leave for Florida in 13 days! i am looking forward to the warmer weather, since i have been freezing my butt off the past week. It has been in the 30s (F) with gale force winds off the north sea, and rain most days. It hasn't been Oregon rain (that constant drizzle), more like Florida rain (coming in short bursts that could easily drown you if you don't watch out). And for some reason, the rain always comes when i am just about to walk out the door.... figures!
In other news, i actually have a job interview next Monday! It is at a high school about 20 minutes away, and it is for a history job that will last for the remainder of the school year (till june). I might be able to handle that! It is totally insane that i haven't worked in 11 months! I am looking forward to some type of job, whether i get this one or i begin to substitute. It has taken miles of paperwork and red tape to get me to the position where i can actually apply for a job, so whether i get it or not i am just stoked that i actually have a real live interview!!!
