Things I miss most

Well there are several things I really miss...of course there are benefits of being here (such as traveling and lots more visitors!)

But I think I miss Clare Bear the most. Its quite pathetic actually. Burr thinks my obsession rivals on scary... I tend to ask "What do you think Clare is doing right now?" often. To which he answer is usually "sleeping", but what should I expect??...Mr. Genius probably does not realize there is crying, changing, bathing, eating, drooling, playing, smiling, laughing, talking, etc. etc....we should let him babysit Clare for a night!!! (JK- Johnny and Meg - don't worry we won't let his UVa ways sway our little Jayhawk). Here is a picture of her, she is 5 months old now! Isn't she SO cute?! I know I know. And her little pink and white striped outfit, ahhh.



What will I do when we move back? I will need a bi-monthly trip to KC to see her. Then she will be all of 12 going "Dad could you please get Aunt Anne to stop coming over, she is so annoying!


Thanks for the pic Meg!

Oh and I will briefly rank things I miss most
Things (note: not people, do not get offended)
1. "proper cubes" - meaning a. I actually have a place to sit everyday and b. I don't have to hear every single thing my colleagues do
2. Cars - Its a little harder to put my makeup on the tube versus in my car on the way to work...so much better when Burr drove and I "got pretty" Although, I have to say I have gotten quite good at walking to the tube and putting on makeup - Burr was impressed at least.
3. Red Meat - Yes they have red meat in England. No it is not worth eating. No, not even if you pay me.
4. Yoga class - I heart Charlotte Yoga
5. Blackberry - I was stripped of my EY blackberry when I got here and I fear I am going through "BBM with drawl"
6. TRASH CANS!!!! Why are there no trash cans = bins here, anywhere! I mean you have to walk like 5 blocks to find one little trash can. Even at the cubes you don't get your own trash can.
7. Bachelorette - that is not a person, that is a TV show. And I have no idea if Jillian's season is even over, but I'm a little sad to be missing it.
8.Shopping prices - I wish I could go back and take away anything I ever said was too expensive in Charlotte b/c whatever CLT was CRAZY CHEAP compared to London.

Well wanted to make a 10 item list, but it turns out I keep thinking about things I love about London instead, so maybe I am doing well.
In the future when its not 11:30 on Thursday night maybe I will write my new London top list...only if you're lucky.

Aunt Anne misses you Clare.
MUAH MUAH MUAH MMMMMUUUUAAAHHH
