Love It or Leave It

There are things from home that I miss, and there are things I haven't once thought of. These lists are comprised strictly of things--not people--so don't get your feelings hurt if you don't see your name on the "love it" list. Just assume that you are loved and missed. Also, realize that I'm not saying I won't be glad to have some of the things on the "leave it" list when we get back. It's just that they have turned out to be less important than I might have once thought.

Love It--The much-missed and not-to-be-lived-without for more than six months:

• Dishwasher
• Hot water in the sink
• My own laundry facilities and the liberty to do laundry whenever I want
• My massage chair
• Diet Dr. Pepper
• The Swiffer mop
• Mircowave
• The back yard, where the kids can go play without my constant supervision
• Full-size, comfy couch (Jeff would probably substitute recliner here) and possibly some other comfy furniture
• More than a handful of plates and silverware
• What Jeff likes to call "adult-sized" drinking glasses
• English

Leave It--The nice, but certainly not necessary:

• Car/Minivan
• 2000+ sq. ft. of living space
• More than 10 pairs of shoes and more than 2 weeks worth of unique outfits
• Home decor
• Television
• Gobs of toys
• Carpet
• Stores that are open all the time

If you were to make lists like this, what do you think you would put on them?
