As miserable as it may be to have to return home at a time when the world is ready to accept me as a full fledged adult member of society, there are a few little things that make up for the self-pity party.
Mom's cooking.
As much as I enjoy cooking and have many of the tools to do so (Mom decided to start giving me various kitchen supplies for every major gift giving event when I entered college. I might be one of the few people my age with my own 17 piece Pyrex glassware set, cheese grater, cutting board, chef's knife, etc.), nothing tastes as good as when Mom makes it. Part of that whole reliving my child hood thing.
The Dog.
I love my dog. Minus my minor allergy to animals, I would love to own a dog someday. However, even if I had my own snazzy apartment somewhere in a building that permitted pets, I doubt I'd be capable of looking after a dog at this point in my life. So I'm cashing in on the dog time I have now.
Big screen high def tv with DVR.
I have a feeling I will appreciate this most in approx. 8 days when the World Cup starts. I never used to understand the appeal of high def until I started watching sports.
The library.
My little sister has a library in her room (complete with colored stickers on books to denote genre etc.). Whenever I want something new to read, all I have to do is go next door. Current reads include Empire of the Sun and The Case for Israel. I've missed pleasure reading.
