Well I'm starting my seventh week and there are a few things I'm starting to miss. Some are superficial, some have a bit more value, and part is just being away from home. I figure that because I am staying in one place as opposed to the last time I roamed a country. Here's the list (in no particular order):
1. dryers and fabric softener
2. kitchens and cooking
3. a soft place to sleep aka my bed
4. my family and friends
5. knowing what I am ordering at a restaurant, getting what I believe I ordered
6. driving my car (but not here, that would be crazy)
7. KFJM and NPR. Yes I have a stream, but it's not the same
8. Cold milk from the fridge and things with cheese
Here's what I don't miss:
1. weather
2. TV. Although I watch it here, it's all in Chinese so I consider it educational
3. our blandly colored US dollars
4. clutter
5. lack of public transportation
This is really off the top of my head, but I'll be home sooner than I want to I'm sure. Then I'll miss the food here and the way people mean mug me because I'm white. Being the minority, wow.
Happy Halloween, I forgot that it was today.

Hi Shanna! I miss watching desperate Housewives with you! the newest news is that Brie's husband Rexdied, and that Mile Delfino is Zach's real father. All sorts of other events happening, but I am sure there will be lots of reruns for you to catch up onwhen you get home. Untill last weekend the Sioux football teeam was undefeated, but Omaha came here and beat us 20-19. LHS football team is in the semifinals for the state football finals. They have to play Cavalier next to get to the finals. I'll keep you posted. All for now. I love blogs that you send! MISS YOU!
Love Aunt Barb
