things i miss about home

so i will have been home for exactly 2 weeks before i leave again. i have come to realize some benefits of being home and these are the things i will miss the most.

• my mom. she really is awesome and is excited for me when i'm excited and reminds me when to be sane and settle down and reminds me of the things i forgot to pack. i am sad to leave her in a house by herself.
• and that leads to the next one - breakfast at joe's with my mom. maybe if mineral was hip enough to have a coffeeshop then we could go there... talking to mom over breakfast is kind of like what you see in the movies.
• i love getting up in the morning and having a cup of coffee on the back porch. mom's flowers are gorgeous and the fountains are burbling. and the sun is nice and warm.
• i truly enjoy the vast collection of underwear that i own. it is great to get up in the morning and have a lot of scandalous options instead of the same 10 cya pairs.
• i also enjoy having a vast closet to choose from. i will probably yearn for this even more in aussie bc of the small amount of clothing i am taking.
• food in the cabinet and food in the fridge - you don't really get that traveling from place to place
• having time and signal to talk on the phone (my dad was ready to kill me one time in utah for being disconnected like 10 times - but i really needed to talk to someone)
• my own bathroom with my own smelly bath products. it is really nice to smell like pecan pie one day and caramel corn the next day and red hots the day after that.
• my own bed with fabulous purple sheets and a fleece blanket when i need it

i am sure there are others... but these are the ones i realized within two days of being home and have been trying to savour before i leave again.
