Eight Could Not Live Withouts

There are the obvious things that I couldn't live without like air, water, food, shelter, etc but I have decided to write about the comforts in my life that I am not willing to give up. I am sure that you guys all understand what I mean.

1. The number one luxury that I would refuse to give up in my lifestyle is my cellphone especially now that I have the rocking IPhone and can do pretty much any task that most can imagine. When Jay bought his I was irritated with all the time that he spent with his nose pressed to the glass of the darn thing, but now that I understand completely.

2. Music. I have never made it through anything good or anything tough without the music. My life has theme songs and therapy songs and sad songs and happy songs but the point is that it determines my mood and helps me with clarity and my sanity.

3.Tennis Shoes or Pretty Much all my Shoes. This maybe should have been in the previous blog, but I have flat feet and would not make it through life without comfy foot wear. I absolutely love my shoes, heck I named my blog after it but the tennis shoes in particular make my entire body feel better. I don't know about you guys, but when my feet hurt, I hurt all over.

4. Make-Up. Wow, how I feel about make-up is hard to express but I feel like it is my mask or my wall. When I get up and move around in the morning I feel exposed and open, but when the paint goes on I feel like a different girl. For years, I have perfected the eye make-up techniques via the Internet or Sephora. I love the different shade and the shimmers to eye make up the way I love glitter and sequins. Anything that sparkles pretty much catches my attention and makes me feel girly.

5. Work. I know that I may fuss and complain about having to work so hard for the money, but I really would loose my mind if I didn't have somewhere to go and tasks to accomplish. When I am at home now, I tackle chores in the job fashion. Over the years I have learned so much about how to size people up by working with them and having to learn to respect people and their different ways. I love working and even if I didn't it is necessary.

6. Internet. When I hear that people don't have a computer my brain does this double take look, like what the crap does anybody do without the Internet. How do people research ANYTHING without the Internet anymore? I simply can not understand this. The way that my family communicates now is through Twitter! If I was without Internet for any long period of time how would I know what was going on in the world? I know that the news is on multiple times during the day and I think they still print newspapers, but the Internet is up to date and at my fingertips at any point. I refuse to go without the Internet.

7. Relationship with God. I talk to God on a daily basis but I know that in this area I definitely need to work on it. My daily conversations with him are probably different than most peoples but I do try and speak to him. I know that above all else he understands my trials that I deal with every single moment of every day. The people that I have surrounded myself with have helped with this relationship and I hope that it grows and gets better and better. My faith keeps me together and keeps me on track.

8.  Being with my Boys. The best moments of most of my days are spent loving on Jay or my dogs. I love getting up first thing on a cold morning with a warm puppy snuggled in next to me or when I walk in the door and they become so excited to see me. I just love all three of my boys to pieces and am completely in love with. I hope that I never have to think about not living with them.
