Homesickness

As the title implies the last few days I have been feeling a little homesick. It's weird because I haven't been  homesick for the past 3 months. Even my worst days here I never wished I was someplace else. It's not that I don't have a lot to miss; my family, my dog and my friends (not always in that order!). I have a great life at home but I never really missed it until now. Maybe it was seeing my sister last weekend that triggered it but now I can't stop listening to country music that reminds me of my hometown and craving ridiculous foods that I've never cared for before. By no means am I going to wish the next few weeks away and I love every minute of every day I spend here but at the same time I think when I go home I'll be happy to be home.

Here are some of the things I've been craving:

Driving: Long drives alone listening to music and singing along
Gym: Putting in a good run to get the day started
Television: Relaxing on the couch with family or my dog Sugar
Tahoe: I need my lake
Cheetos: I have never craved Cheetos but I definitely am here! You always miss what you can't have!
Spices: Gulosh is about the blandest thing ever-right up there with water and that gross fish
Hugs: I've never been a hugger but I just need a big hug-preferably by a massive teddy bear or dad.
Art Store: I can barely leave Michael's without bringing home three more art projects, I am missing not being able to be creative here (in the way I am used to being creative)
English: I mostly miss eavesdropping on other people's conversations
Shopping List: I miss putting an item on a piece of paper clipped to the fridge and having it appear in the cupboard days later. (Thanks mom!)
Grass: The smell of just cut beautiful think grass, crazy right?

Obviously there are tons of things I will miss from here that I'll crave when I get back home and I'm sure it will be just as random. Sad face.
