So I started this post awhile ago and since then a sort of spin-off one has also formed of "All the Things I Miss"... There is definitely some overlap, but for now here are the 8 things I am most looking forward to when I come home in less than one week!!
1. Family. I would be a bad daughter and sister if this wasn't number one. Visiting my younger sister at school in less than two weeks and then also hopefully driving down to DC to visit my older sister, Rachel, for a long weekend are making it hard to stay present here in Europe when such long anticipated reunions are on the horizon. Plans are also in the works for a nice, looooong, extended visit at my brother and sister-in-law's house in Monterey where I also can't wait to permanently become my niece, Marin's, favorite aunt.
2. A kitchen (almost) all to my own where I can stock the fridge and cabinets full of my favorites. Not being able to always cook what or when I wanted to for the last six months ignited this yearning inside me to cook everything in a way I never thought I could or would want to. It's a feeling and desire I never had before, but I've got lists and recipes of new foods to try and I'm roaring to go!
3. Nachos. Ok, so for any of you who thought I was talking about fancy culinary dishes with the last one, well who are you kidding? I've missed nachos soooooo much! Yes, there will be some new Vietnamese dishes and Thai curries and French and Danish desserts and my own homemade pizza, but good ol' nachos smothered in guacamole will be cutting to the front of the line.
4. Wegmans. I know you know I know I don't need to say anything more :) but multiple trips are in order to help accomplish numbers two and three above.
5. A keyboard. Enough of this iPad touch screen finger-pecking silliness. Seriously.
6. Fresh air. Be gone all you European smokers. I'm tired of washing my hair before going out at night and coming home only to stink up my pillow case with smoky smelling hair.
7. My running shoes. I cannot wait to actually regularly exercise again. Mom/Linda, please remid me of this if you see me lazing about on the third day I'm back. I will also need help getting my bike down in the garage. I truly cannot wait!
8. My yoga mat. This sort of belonged as number one, but got cut down, but it certainly is no number eight. Sort of a tie at number one especially since Jackson Road is actually going to be very quiet when I first arrive. (So Linda is really the only one who will get to enjoy my cooking :)
