I finally got my house completely separated from what to keep and priced everything I was selling. Now onto two huge sheds full of junk. People are already buying my stuff when they come to see the house.

STBXWH#2 will be out with the police on Sunday to get the rest of his junk. Then I can have the sell finally. I have been trying to get him to pick it up since January.

I have two couples interested in buying my house, so hopefully I can avoid foreclosure and save my credit.

1cooked yummy rib dinner tonight!

2. Enjoy the fun time with all my kids at school playgrounds tonight. The giggling and laughter.

3. Hubby of my girlfriend helped make two stools, yes he is a carpenter, so boys can wash their hand on his own -:).

1. I ran the Boston Marathon two weeks ago and had an amazing time despite the weather. So many friends reached out and told me they were watching my progress online (they have mats every 5K or so to track pace, which post on the website.) And, I was about 20 minutes faster than expected. I went with my friend who felt the heat from the bombs two years ago and wanted a friend to go with her to help with her PTSD from the race. And I stayed with her 80 year old aunt (who is now my honorary aunt) which has kind of got me excited about living in a retirement village someday (though I don't want to wish my life away.)

2. My parrots are so much fun! My parents watched them while I was on vacation, so we had a fabulous reunion as we settle back into real life for a week until...

3. Heading to Europe a week from tomorrow with my mom!!! I was an exchange student my junior year of high school, and I'm going back to see two of the families who hosted me. It's been 20 years since then (though WXH and I did visit 10 years ago.) My mom has always wanted to see where I lived. And we tacked on a weekend in Dublin at the end of our trip. So excited!!!

Bumping

It's the day before Thanksgiving here in the US, and it seems like a really good time to bump this thread.

3 things I am thankful for today:

1. my commute was so good today

2. we got to leave work a few hours early today, with pay

3. I have plenty of food to eat, for not only Thanksgiving, but every day. Not something I want to take for granted, ever.

1 I recently made a new friend that I have a lot of fun with

2 my mother is still able to and takes such pride in making thanksgiving dinner for all of us

3 it was an absolutely beautiful day here, especially for the end of November

1. I adopted a senior dog (lab mix) last week and she is so sweet. So since July I went from no dogs to puppy and senior dog. Heaven.

2. I am having a meal tomorrow at my house with some good girlfriends because my DD is with STBx. I love my girlfriends.

3. My DS will be home from college on Friday and I will celebrate Thanksgiving with my family on Saturday. Grateful for a family that is willing to be flexible so I get to celebrate with my kids and family and have yummy traditional Thanksgiving food even if not on the official day.

today I am thankful for:

leftover mashed potatoes

leftover gravy

leftover desserts

When Monday comes, I will be incredibly thankful if I can still fit into my work clothes.

2015 is drawing to a close and my three things/goals that have happened this year are:

1. Became a US citizen after being here since 85. Now a dual-citizen.

2. Renewed my Australian passport, which is no easy task being overseas. Just getting a picture to meet their requirements is expensive, time consuming and hit or miss. Plus having to now travel hours for an interview makes the whole process difficult but rewarding once done!

3. Graduate Saturday with my Associates Degree after three years of working and studying my way through the healing process after divorce! Halfway way there!

Next three:

1. Bachelors Degree

2. Higher salary/new job

3. Get a life

Hopefully not in that order!!!!

Three things are

1 my kids and I are in good health

2 I finished painting my kitchen yesterday so now my house looks much better and like MY home ( It was marital home)

3 I'm taking today to mostly relax.

1. I woke up this morning

2. I have a beautiful son who loves me

3. I have a job

I'm glad this post got bumped! I need to remind myself of the good things.

1. I have a good job/career.

2. My kids are healthy and happy.

3. I have a nice home in a safe neighborhood.

1. I took a prosecutor's case apart yesterday and for a client who wasn't a complete oxygen thief!

2. The weather was awesome.

3. I had fries. I like fries.

Three things for today:

1 Fun playdate with my kids and friends.

2 Already got a workout in so I don't have to worry about that tonight.

3 Really enjoying my house a bit more since I painted the living room/kitchen/dining room area (it was the M home and I feel like painting it has helped me claim it a bit more.

What are your three things for today???

Spent time with my mom

Made dinner - it was as usual awesome - I'm a pretty good cook

Hopeful that the new laptop/work bag I found will work out ok

3 things I am grateful for today:

1. I ran my errands and got home before the rain started pouring down.

2. I got a small bonus at work, a dividend check from my shares of company stock, and my income tax refund all in the same week.

3. My new dishwasher will be delivered on Wednesday.
