Thursday Thirteen #1

I was introduced to Thursday Thirteen via a friends blog (see here) and decided to do my own list.  So here goes:

Thirteen Material Objects I Can't Live Without

In No Certain Order

1. Cell Phone.  Was there really a time when these handy gadgets didn't exist?

2. Sunglasses.  I always thought my mom was weird for "needing" sunglasses and now I'm totally the same way. (Coming soon: 13 things I do just like my mom...)

3. Flip Flops.  I know it's fall and winter is coming, but my toes need to breath! Plus, I really hate socks.

4. Lappy.  He's our laptop and I use him multiple times, everyday.  Email, blogging, recipes, finances, maps, etc.

5. My scriptures.  I think this is more of a spiritual item than a material item, but regardless of that, I can't live without them.

6. A vacuum.  Using it soothes me and always seems to put me in a good mood.

7.  iPod.  I guess I'm addicted to technology.  I just love having my playlist at my fingertips. And it makes working out and mowing lawn much more enjoyable. 

8.  DVD player.  If I couldn't put on movie for Wyatt then I'm sure I would shower a lot less!

9.  Washer/Dryer.  I don't know how people use a laundromat on a regular basis.  I'm sure that I do at least 2 loads of laundry a day. 

10. My Kitchen-Aid mixer.  I didn't always own it, but now that I do, I just can't go back.  Although, I did make a lot less "goodies" when I had to mix everything by hand. Hmmm.....

11.  Toothbrush.  For obvious reasons.

12.  Hand Sanitizer.  Again, obvious reasons and I might be a little OCD about clean hands...just a little.

13. A car.  I would love it if I could walk everywhere, but where I live just isn't really set up for walking.
