The Next Thing on My List

I just wanted to write a little bit about things I miss. I don't want to sound whiny, like I can't live without these things. I just wanted to let everyone know that they should be thankful for the things they're given, especially:

1. Peanut Butter - they aren't big fans of Jif over here, most likely because the peanut butter in this country tastes like crap. It's grainy and kind of separated, and nothing like the sensation of pure joy on my tongue that Reduced Fat Peter Pan gives me.

2. Free Bags at the Grocery Store - that's right. In Europe, you pay to sack your food purchases, or you bring a bag of your own.

3. Private Transportation - this one I don't miss very often. It's only when it's late and I'm tired, I've been walking all day and then I have to walk to the bus stop or even worse, all the way home. I enjoy walking a lot, especially on the really pretty days when I'm wearing comfortable shoes. But I miss my crappy Pontiac sooo much at 1am in spike heels, on the way home from a friend's house.

4. Sunshine - here, the sun doesn't come up until almost 8 am, and it sets around 5 pm. When it is up, most of the time it's cloudy. I'm really missing the bright sunshine of Oklahoma/Texas. I'm sure I won't miss it when summer comes, and you guys are dying in 100 degree heat, but for now, I could use some sun.

That's all I can think of now, but I'll add more as they come to my mind.
