in less than 24 hours

i have enjoyed the following USA luxuries:
  1. an american airlines employee reminding everyone that crowding the entry gate does NOT speed up the boarding process
  2. the same american airlines employee inform standby passengers that their need to get home is no more urgent than any other standby passenger's need to get home (thankfully, despite 2 delayed flights, i was NOT one of these standby passengers).
  3. flushing toilet paper
  4. a warm shower
  5. drinking tap water
  6. chill bumps
  7. still reading signs in spanish - and now knowing what they say
  8. getting a job interview - for a real teaching job, no less!
  9. buying a new car (thanks to a generous brother who bought my old one and my "banker" dad helping the finances stretch a little farther [i.e. i don't have to pay interest])
  10. texas weather changing from blazing sun to pouring rain in a matter of minutes
so yes, i did make it back to texas safely - and in all 6 pieces (me + luggage + carry on items)
