Last US Work Week

I am down to my last work week in the US for quite some time. My flight leaves this Thursday afternoon. As usual, I have procrastinated enough that I still have a lengthy list of stuff to complete. However, I was at least smart enough to sit down and write up a check sheet of all the things I need/want to take with me. Granted, the list was two and a half pages long (hand written), but at least I have something to work from.

Making sure I take full advantage of the liquidation sale at Circuit City before I leave. Picked up some nice accessories for the XBox, like a 1yr subscription to XBox Live at 30% off, too bad I could find any of the XBox Points cards =( . However, it was nice to get tax software cheap, especially since my parents will have to do my convoluted tax returns (two companies, relocation expenses, international business travel income, sale and purchase of a home).

Have been able to spend at least some time with everyone I have made friends with since I have moved here and even made the trip to Salisbury to see everyone in NC before I left. Someone asked what I would miss the most when I'm in Saudi that they could send me in care packages. I had to laugh, because of regardless of where I go, I always miss the people I leave behind and didn't think I could get them shipped to me. Although, it would be interesting to see what would happened at Saudi customs if one of the ladies tried to ship themselves in =)

Since I won't be able to sleep much the first day I get to Saudi (this Friday US time), I will make sure I get a new post added when I land.
