A Closer Look {at my toe}

This was taken last Sunday when I was instructed to give my toe some air.  I can't even tell you how much better it now looks.

This is how it looks today.  Almost 2 weeks later.  I'm really going to miss my toenail.  Thinking about a pedicure to make myself feel better about this whole accident :)

Luxuries

I think we Americans enjoy plenty of these.  I miss mine.  I'm about to miss more too.  A luxury is defined as a free or habitual indulgence in or enjoyment of comforts and pleasures in addition to those necessary for a reasonable standard of well-being or  a pleasure out of the ordinary allowed to oneself.  

So here is to the luxuries of this world that clearly I MISS:

I miss not being able to eat out on the weekends when I don't feel like cooking.

I miss buying anything my little heart would desire from Hobby Lobby (which I haven't stepped foot into since before Christmas)

I miss fixing up my house.

I miss shopping the sales.  Any sale. Especially at PB.

I miss trips to the mall.

I miss getting my hair done when it desperately needs it.

I miss grabbing food off the shelves and not really NEEDING it.

I miss ITunes cards.

I miss working only ONE job.

I miss going to Pottery Barn.  Haven't been there since January.  DO you remember how much I loved that store :)

I miss scrapbooking.

I miss going to baby showers or bday parties or anything that would require you to bring a gift.

I miss making whatever I wanted for dinner even if I had to buy the ingredients before I got home.

I miss going to my in-laws whenever we felt like it.

I miss not caring about what the cash register says.

I miss my house being clean. (weird, I know)

I miss reading books.

I miss going out with friends.

I miss not paying for football tickets (thanks to my in-laws :))

I miss going out for lunch.

Ok so clearly I could go on.  But one day I hope to look back at this list and laugh at it.  AT least that is my hope.  What do you miss or have given up... lately??
