Betsey's Top 10 of the Day

You know you need to go home for a couple weeks when:

1. Your food budget now allows for a weekly head of lettuce.
2. The dubbed into Spanish voices on the Simpsons start to sound normal to you. Except I'm sorry, but the voice they have given to Reverend Lovejoy is just entirely unacceptable.
3. You run out of peanut butter... again!! Time to steal BernBern's BJ's card for a raid...
4. The words 'home-cooked meal' sound completely foreign to you.
5. Four months later, you can't speak English. Or Spanish, for that matter.
6. You contemplate going across the street to the music store to 'test out' the pianos to quench your musical thirst.
7. Your 'get ready to go out' music has switched from pop and thug to a vast collection of Christmas carols. Alvin and the Chipmunks... they get me every time. I just want a hula hoop too.
8. You are out of Tylenol PM. What is sleep like again? I can't recall.
9. You need to start weaning yourself off of Casa Poli and its coffee, its tortilla sandwiches, and its fabtacular waitors who are sooooo in love with us.
10. All of your winter clothes are at home and/or in the possession of your little sister... and while she is warm and snug in your favorite (and only) sweaters, you are frankly freezing your metaphorical balls off.
