A few things we are living without. And we are surprisingly very happy without them!

Car
Washer/Dryer
Microwave
Dishwasher
Garbage Disposal
TV and DVD player
Nonstick coatings on pans
Electric stove (We have gas. I mean, um, the stove uses gas!)
High chair
Real crib
Window screens
Nintendo Wii (CD’s contribution to this list, of course)
Musical instruments
Yard

and most importantly: Chick-fil-A! Can’t believe we’ve gone 2 months without it. And we’re still completely happy here.

    I think the microwave sounds the worst. I think I know how to live without most those other things. Well, not the car. I need a car. But I live in a Midwestern suburb. :)

    Ummm, what’s up with Cool Chat?

    ok. bare minimum living, eh?

    going without quickly changes our perspective on things. but in this process, you are gaining so much more! invaluable…

    I know you guys are chick-fil-a fans…and fans of Freebees…just got my free chicken sandwich for voting…didn’t even have to dress up for it. Ha!

    We are going without some things as well…but it’s worth it!

    pq–yes, the microwave is the hardest part! we hope to find one soon, but it has to be cheap or free. i had to call my mom and ask her how they heated things up “in the old days”! ha

    tam–yeah, some by choice, some not…it’s definitely been a good experience. we want that microwave though!

    hip mama–SO JEALOUS!!! wow.

    Hey, you don’t have to apologize to me, CD! I was just worried about you guys! And worried that it had been so long since I’d been on that I’d gotten the day wrong. So, basically, I was worried about you guys. And me.

    I think I could be content without all of those things, too. The major disruption would be that the rest of my family would be in dispare! They’re not spoiled – just high maintenance. Unfortunately.
