Need versus Want

As I mentally prepare for “the trip” I realize the wants and needs that I absolutely require.

Need:
Bike shorts
Jersey
Cloths to wear after the ride
Water bottle
Bike

Nice to have and will take:
Netbook
Foam roller
Face cream
Nail polish
Nail polish remover
Phone
Camera

Things I am going to miss:
My pillow
Roxy.
My family. Mom, Dad, and Big Sis.
Hugs from my nieces
The comfort of recovering on my couch
A room full of cloths and shoe choices
Watching TIVO
Sleeping in my bed
The garden
Dancing
Food conveniently in the kitchen
Riding with the ECT (Employee Cycling Team)
Familiar roads
Coffee crew
Washing machine-in my house
Jewelry
Hair straighter and big sexy hair spray

Things that I can used to being without….
Wearing a watch
MY CAR

  1. Dancing is portable, you can do it anywhere. Just ask Al about the parking lot in Indianapolis.

    Nail polish? We needed nail polish?

  2. I'm with Jim. I rode without nail polish and had no problems.

    Should not the bike be the first need ?

  3. :) The bike is assumed, since after all it is a bike trip. Nailpolish is a NEED in my book. It's something that puts me back on my feminine side.
