Here are thirteen things that I didn't have 10 years ago that I can't live without. Some are sentimental, some are geeky, some are gadgety. That pretty much sums me up!
- My husband Doug - He just squeaks under the wire as husband because our 10th anniversary is coming up next July. He's been in my life for over 14 years now.
- Adam - Turning 8 on Saturday! How did he get to be so big?
- Dova - Turning 5 in December.
- Central air conditioning - We put this in when I was pregnant with Adam because I refused to deal with the heat. Now we are all spoiled in the summertime. It has actually helped me enjoy summer more than I have in the past (usually comes last with me in terms of seasons).
- Garage - We built our 3-car garage in 2000 while I was pregnant. I sure don't miss digging my car out of the snow and scraping frost in the morning.
- My 15 minute commute - I was able to zip to Adam's school in 7 minutes because he was having asthma problems once. Can't imagine having another job further away.
- High speed internet - We've had it since around 1999 through cable and now through fiber optic. Loving FiOS, not a single glitch since it was installed in June.
- Podcasts - It is extremely rare that I listen to radio anymore with tons of podcasts available (including radio shows like This American Life, Radio Lab and NPR).
- iPod - I gotta take the podcasts with me, can't sit at a computer and listen to them.
- iPhone - Still loving my slow first generation Edge iPhone. Just wish my company would grant me external wi-fi access because I can't get reception at work.
- DVR - Kids shows, car shows and one knitting show for mom. I don't watch as much TV as the rest of my family, but I wouldn't watch without the DVR.
- GPS - Can't imagine taking a vacation without it now.
- Blogging!- Didn't even exist 10 years ago and now it's such a big part of my life!
