We've been avoiding the real issue.....

A slow procession....

At age 3

At age 12

at age 21

Hmm...guess who's turning 31 in less than a month....

Did you say 31? Uhhh....

It's not much, really!

This is it. The list of all lists. I have been in Paraguay for 1 year, and I am homesick for certain...shall we say...important items.

When I say items, I really mean food.

My mom asked me to put together a list of some food and things I wanted to do when i came home for a couple weeks. Oddly enough, the 'Things to do list' was a lot shorter than the 'Foods I have to Eat' when I get home.

Here are some highlights:

Things I haven't done in a year and would like to:

• Eat Tillamook Extra Sharp Cheddar (there is NO cheddar chee in PY)
• Drink good beer
  
• Go to the Movies and eat popcorn and hot dogs
• Go Bowling
• Take lots of baths
• Go to the bathroom in the middle of the night without squatting and getting a mosquito bite on my kashi*
• Get a pedicure (although I'm pretty sure my feet are far beyond help at this point)
• Get FAT

Food I must eat to accomplish last objective on things to do list:

• Totinos Pizza
• Coffee - I've been drinking Nescafe for a year, people!!!
• Sammiches
  
• BBQ - without the sauce. so just grilled meat without chunks of fat and gristle
• Dunkin Donuts
• The Feast at the Ameristar Casino
• a Chinese buffet
• Pizza Street
• Nachos
  

So there you have it folks. Just SOME of the things I've been missing. Trust me, I have lots more, but I only have 3 weeks....
