This is Me - #1. 10 Modern Conveniences

I have been reading about "This is Me" Challenge for a while now and have finally decided to dive in and take the challenge.  My first Challenge: 



If you were forced to go back in time to the olden days, but were allowed to take 10 modern conveniences with you, what would you take?


Wow!  I can only choose 10.  That is kind of a hard one.  There are so many conveniences that we are blessed to have these days.  I mean, even when I go camping, we bring along the "condo on wheels" that has everything: a shower, heater, bed, stove, microwave, fridge, and even a tv.  So, if I went back to the olden days and could only take 10 modern conveniences......  I think they would be:
  1. My car
  2. My computer (how could I survive without blogs, Pinterest or Facebook?)
  3. Contact Lenses
  4. My bed
  5. Indoor plumbing
  6. Target
  7. Microwave
  8. Refrigerator
  9. Washer and Dryer
  10. Dishwasher
There is also modern medicine, the telephone, electricity, a heated home, accessible clothing, "girl" products (if you know what I mean), fast food, Diet Coke, the list goes on and on.  Yet, with all the modern conveniences that we enjoy and have that is supposed to make our lives easier, why does it seem like there is never enough time in the day to get everything done.  I wonder if the people that lived in the "olden" times felt that same way.  Was it truly a more relaxed, peaceful time or did they feel some of the same pressures that we do today?

What a fun idea! I may have to join you in this challenge as I need some serious motivation to continue blogging. Also good job on the "date night" gift. How fun to have dates planned and ready to go, that is half the battle.

I have never heard of this challenge, I will have to read up on it. It would definitely be hard for me to only pick 10 modern conveniences!! It's a good thing I wasn't a pioneer....I wouldn't have made it :)
