Five Things I'm Grateful For
  1. That I am allowed to leave the leaves from my yard in a big pile at the end of the street and I don't have to bag them all.  The number of leaves in my yard is totally and utterly ridiculous. 
  2. My boyfriend's help tarping all the leaves in the yard for 4-5 hours this past Sunday.  I couldn't have done it without him.
  3. My dad getting a job interview and most likely a job offer.  It's not ideal, and he may not want to take it, but it's nice to get an offer.
  4. Lots of vacation days.  I get 4 weeks plus 3 floater holidays to use whenever I want.  I used 2 this past Thursday and Friday.  Yay for extra long weekends!
  5. A working furnace.  It's starting to get cold
 
Four Things I Can't Stop Thinking About
  1. The toilet that we bought a few weeks ago for the downstairs bathroom that still hasn't been installed.
  2. Upgrades to the house: new countertops, refinish the basement, install a new door from the garage to the house.
  3. Getting engaged/married.  We went to a wedding this past weekend.  Enough said, I think.
  4. Buying a new house.  I have this ridiculous idea that I need a newer, nicer house and keep searching online and looking at houses for sale.  My house is fine, I don't need a new house.  Must stop thinking about this!
 
Three Things I Want To Accomplish This Week
  1. Install the toilet mentioned above.
  2. Install a new door from the garage to the house (also mentioned above) on Saturday or Sunday.
  3. Eat according to my "diet" every day.
 
Two Things I Am Working To Be Positive About
  1. New work thing that I'll be starting this week.  I could really dislike it, but am trying to remain positive and hopeful it will enjoyable instead.
  2. That I'll be able to sleep well this week.  I almost never sleep well, unfortunately, but maybe this is my week!   
 
One Random Thing
  1. There are certain people I need to be better about keeping in touch with.  My friend who was married this past weekend, for one.  A good friend from college that lives nearby that I rarely see, for another.

 

I first got the idea for this a few weeks ago when Candice first started doing it.  You should do it too, and link to yours in the comments!

About This Blog

Stories, advice, and random thoughts from a thirty-something female.

Many people in their thirties are dealing with common issues and concerns. Some of these include buying a home, establishing a career, starting a family, and dealing with aging parents. I will blog about all these things as well as other every day stuff as I make my way through this third decade of life.
