driving down to the post office to put a piece of mail in the bin
listening to the leaves blow on a windy autumn day
the plants which lived on the patio
a fridge with food that i like eating
the feeling of coming home every day after being out
a shower with decent and steady water pressure
wandering down shopping isles full of familiar and enjoyed products
my car and driving
the sounds of squirrels playing in the tree out front
mail delivery
doing my own laundry in a machine that doesn't eat my clothes
whole foods grocery store
the feeling that the holidays are coming
central a/c - heat
my sewing machine
tv in general (with English speaking shows) - TBS and the Food Network specifically
my allergy doctor
having my own bathroom that i don't have to share with 4 - 5 other people
stoplights
thanksgiving day parade
my almost new cell phone (which doesn't work here)
emtpy streets at night
even, clean and paved sidewalks for walking on
seeing houses lit up with Christmas lights
so much rain you think it will never stop
corn tortilla chips
wall to wall carpet
blue skies
a heaven full of stars at night
steamy windows
the library
(this list is not all inclusive, and family and friends are of course a given)

Hi friend, peace...
Your blog very interesting.
If you willing visit my blog, and read my article at http://sosiologidakwah.blogspot.com
And... Thanks.
I can imagine how desperately you miss these things. Even when I was in Newport Beach, I missed huge fir trees and the piney smell they give out. I thought I never wanted to see another palm tree as long as I lived! LOL!
xox
It's interesting the things you miss and the things you don't. Definitely some surprises.
=)
I'd love to smell some fir trees!
What don't you miss?
I will get to that list eventually, along with a couple others. Just not sure when!
Fortunately, quite a few of these will be solved when you move into your own apartment - which should have happened months ago.... Maybe the others won't seem so bad once you're in your own space.
