7377

After a 20 hour journey, thank you Delta, I am back home safe and sound. I always forget how good home is until I'm away for a while. I love living in London, but some stuff you just can't get on that side of the Atlantic...

10. Free food. Sure when you're living in a city you can get free meals by going on dates, begging, or being lucky, but that takes a lot of work and a lot of luck. When I'm home I constantly get free food. They take me out to lunch, out to dinner, buy any groceries I want, AND even buy me candy bars at the check out line. Super score.

9. Hot showers. The shower in our apartment is only hot if the fire place is on and then it is so hot it burns your skin until it peels off. If you don't feel like melting the shower is ice cold. Home, the shower and/or bath is always perfectly warm. Warm enough that you are red when you get out, but not too warm that you need to apply neosporin.

8. My dog. I'm one of those really annoying people that is convinced my dog is special and that everyone wants to hear about it. I just love her so much. Last night we cuddled all night and then in the morning we cuddled and had breakfast. I missed her mushy face.

7. TV. We have a good cable package at my apartment, but we have a GREAT cable package at home, not to mention I can order movies on demand and then my parents pay for it. Sometimes it's fun to be a leach.

6. Cars. Everyone knows that I love public transportation. But sometimes it's great to be picked up in a car and taken to exactly where you need to go for free. Just for the record I am shit at driving so I avoid it whenever possible.

5. Popeyes chicken. Living abroad is excellent and I'm totally content, but yesterday I had popeyes chicken and I forgot how good shitty fast food is. My body almost shut down but I think it was worth it.

4. My mall. The shopping in London is obviously top-notch. I can buy anything my heart desires but when it comes right down to it, I love my mall. Besides, my pounds go much further here.

3. Christmas movies. Obviously they have christmas movies in London but in America we are really obnoxious about them, which is a good thing. They are on 24/7 here which is ideal for someone like me who could honestly watch them 24/7. Miracle on 34th street? Yes please.

2. Shitty TV. Since I've been home I have watched several episodes of 16 and pregnant and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I missed this trash. I need this trash.

1. No homo, but it's always good seeing the family. They are just as batshit crazy as I remember.
