- Hot water is definitely at the top of my list. I am grateful for clean drinking water. I am spoiled by hot water to shower and bathe.
- My dishwasher: sorry but I hated washing dishes for six by hand every day
- Power everything in my car: The computer system in our Suburban needed upgraded about a month ago. I discovered this when the power locks, windows, etc. wouldn't work. Luxury? Yes... and quite a nice one when you're trying to keep track of four toddlers in a busy parking lot. Hit a button, the doors are unlocked and you can toss everyone in the car in a hurry.
- My hair dryer: I have crazy, random waves and curls in my hair that can only be tamed by my hair dryer and hair straightener.
- Netflix: it's the one splurge Hubby and I have. We don't have cable. It's cheaper to just rent what we want to watch through Netflix.
- Frydaddy: OK, I don't actually have this, yet. Our neighbors recently had us over for a Mexican feast, which included chips made in their Frydaddy. My mother-in-law has Hubby's grandma's Frydaddy and never uses it, so she's giving it to us. Hubby and I have already made a pact that we are using it just for chips (they're delicious!). Please confiscate the Frydaddy if I ever blog about deep frying Twinkies.
- A ceramic top stove: I no longer have one of these. I didn't realize how wonderful it was until I went back to a regular stove. Boooo!

Little Luxuries
Having spent Saturday night through this morning with no hot water, I've realized all the little luxuries I take for granted. (Yes, the water heater was fixed yesterday, but a gas leak forced us to shut off the gas last night until the leak could be repaired this morning. Welcome to my life). I know I'll sound spoiled, but after spending several days boiling water to wash my dishes, I know there are certain luxuries I hate living without.

3 Cheers for the Fry Daddy! When I was little, my dad would get all of us kids into the kitchen by pronouncing "its time for a potato project!" - which basically meant we were making french fries. We all chopped potatoes, he fried them, took them out put them in a brown paper bag and shook them up with some salt. Viola! Homemade french fries. Its one of my favorite childhood memories. :)
Stop giving me ideas for more ways to make things tastier with the Frydaddy! LOL
I'm very much with you on the first three. My family never had a dishwasher growing up and Emma was 9 months old before we owned one. I LOVE setting dirty dishes in our dishwasher and opening it to find them sparkling clean an hour later.
I should probably use your fourth luxury, but I'm lazy and just leave the crazy curls/waves/frizz in my hair. Sad, but true - and probably one of many reasons I would never get hired as a news anchor :)
I don't know how I would have survived all those dirty baby bottles without a dishwasher.
a Frydaddy sounds so cool, but then my husband would want everything fried! I mean, everything. He doesn't like healthy stuff, I have to sneak it on him.
Dishwashers...yes! A must have. I made my two girls wash by hand for a week, because they kept leaving the dishwasher full of dishes. Cured!
A week of handwashing dishes? Yep. That would do the trick.
