Satisfied?

I enjoy my little walk-up - The Belfry. Really I do. Oh, I wish I had a bigger kitchen, and another room would be nice on those weekend days the walls seem to close in on me. But overall, yeah, it's working for me. But with so much in storage, and living in an apartment again, there are just things I miss:

1) I miss my couch. A lot. I love layin' on the couch. Hell - I really love my furniture. I bought it because it fit me perfectly and trust me I've used it. Right now I only have room for the loveseat and a couple chairs. Last time I was at the storage unit I spent a little time just sitting in the back, on the corner of the couch. Football will not be the same.

2) I miss my DirecTV. Did I mention football? Yeah, I get squat without the dish. Next year. Next year we're back to full blown Football Sundays.

3) I miss a garage and basement. I've got small things I don't want to put in storage but no real place to put them here. It's too easy to just let stuff slide when, no matter how hard you clean you still have "stuff" piled around.

4) I miss my washer and dryer. DAMN I hate the laundry mat.

5) I miss my kitchen gadgets. Bou's post reminded me how much I love that stuff. Oh, I know I did without in the Postage Stamp house. But I was finally able to unpack them all and really get to play in the kitchen. Now? Yeah, I either got rid of the stuff or it's still in storage. Makes it a challenge to really put together a meal.

Damn, sounds like I'm a real whiner, doesn't it? Not how I intended this to come out at all. I really am content with this arrangement. I just wish it were a house, with a garage (at least) on 1/2 acre, with a few more rooms and a great laundry area. Oh, and don't forget a pantry......

Geesh - guess there's no pleasing me!
