1. Texting! Yes, I have my Droid here...but I soooo turned the service off. I am missing my phone. lol. Unlimited texting is a must for me, and my little fingers are getting antsy. Plus, facebooking from my phone keeps me from being bored at the many briefings that I am forced to go to. Right now my phone is my trusty alarm clock and camera. That's it.
2. Library. I love my Kindle, but I still have the biggest crush on the library. We have a small one here, but it just doesn't compare.
3. Driving BY MYSELF to work. Riding the bus with all my co-workers is not the most fun thing everyday. Blah, blah, blah is all I hear on the bus, and at 7 a.m. I don't want to always hear all that blahing. My Beats by Dre headphones were a good investment. I'm able to drown out most of the nonsense, but some still finds its way in my ears. Can't wait to turn the key in my own ignition, turn on my music, and enjoy the peaceful ride.
4. My couch! Lol...who misses their couch? lol. ME! My couch and my blankie (yes, I said blankie) is calling me. I don't know how much longer I can resist. ;-)
5. SJ running trails. We have two running trails on base back home, and I love those trails. You can find me on those trails 3-6 times a week. It's my time to take in the pretty scenery and clear my head. Lord willing, the day after I get back I will reunite with one of the trails.
6. Privacy. I consider myself to be a pretty private person, and it is really hard to get any kind of privacy here. I am super excited when I go in my dorm room, and no one is in there. It's rare, but I enjoy every minute. Sometimes I get so frustrated because every conversation I have with my husband is usually in the presence of someone else. I just do not always feel like having someone hear everything that I talk about with him. Plus, there are sides of me that I only reveal to him, and it feels like I am being robbed of that here. There's nothing like a co-worker chiming in or commenting on your conversation to your spouse. Do you know how many times I wanted to get my "Deebo Punch" on?
7. Cooking. I truly miss cooking. I didn't think I would, but I do.
8. Sunday naps. After church if my meal is pretty much preped, it's on like donkey kong with me and my pillow. Haven't had a Sunday nap since August. lol. Sundays are a work day...so I guess I'll catch up on those naps when I bring my behind home.
9. My Shower. Every morning here, I get out of my bed and walk down a cold hallway with my shower caddy. After I pick my stall, I have to get about four paper towels to get someone's hair out of the drain. MAYBE the water will be warm. Now...I am extremely happy that we have water here with no shortage, but I am definitely missing my CLEAN, hot shower. I can't wait to hop out of my bed in the morning, walk three steps, turn on the shower and step into my own shower with NO shower shoes! I miss my CLEAN house in general. Folks are triflin' around here. lol. I have stories for days, but I'll spare you.
10. Movie Nights! I miss chillin' in the house with my husband watching movies until we're delirious. I still watch a lot of movies over here, but it's just not the same without enjoying each other's reactions to all the movies we watch.
I'm sure there's more, but these are the few that were at the front of my mind. Surprisingly, I don't miss wearing my heels. Whaaaaaat?! I miss my shoes, but I don't miss wearing them. My feet never hurt here. lol. My uniform is very comfortable. I'm allowing my feet to enjoy this rest! ;-)
Uh I'm right there with you. I'd never be able to get up Sunday naps, my couch, or my blankie. That is my go-to. If it was between saving puppies from a burning building or my blankie and couch....i'd go blankie and couch.
