1.Bathrooms. Two of them. E and I always HAVE to use the bathroom at the same time or when the other person is in the shower.
2. Bath Tub. Our current bathtub is a mini. It is too short and too shallow to take a bath in. Very sad.
3. Laundry. Oh to have my own washer/ dryer! The idea literally makes me giddy inside.
4. Garden. I can't wait to grow my own veggies and fresh flowers.
5. Oven. Again, we currently have a mini. The oven is 15" wide. Please get out a ruler and process that for a minute. There is one rack and no broiler.
6. Central Heat. Radiators are spawn of the devil.
7. Neighbors. Ones whom I dont hear exercising or hacking up a lung.
8. Driveway. With a car. I could go to grocery store once, maybe twice a week!
9. Guestroom. No more "Oh, welcome to my house! Here's a couch to sleep on!"
10. Closets. We have one. ONE! ONE CLOSET!
Dont get me wrong, I LOVE our apartment. It is big (for NYC) and reasonably priced (for NYC) and we have lovely landlords. I do have a dishwasher, which is a big deal (for NYC) and in two years I have yet to see a mouse. Its just, well, Im over it! I've lived in very confined spaces for 8 years now and Im sick of justifying everything with the phrase "for NYC"! Sure, it probably doesnt help that Im unemployed right now and am spending waaay too much time inside these four walls. I should make a point to get out and do more things. Anyone up for a picnic in the park?

Funny we never want what we have. I live in a nice suburb in Sydney. Guess where I'd rather be? New York City. I love the nice apartments, walking everywhere and the energy that comes from having a lot of folks about.
So true, Gail. I'm sure once I move away I'll be all "I miss the city! I felt ALIVE there!"
