Reminiscer

Three years ago yesterday, my ex-husband moved out of my house.

In the past three years, I also did this:

Run a half marathon

Signed up and began to train for a full marathon

Said goodbye to my favorite cat ever

Fell in love with two new cats

Bought a house and painted that bitch

Figured out that I am so very capable

Of anything

Been on exactly 2 dates

Figured out that I don't much care for dating

Taught a little boy how to ride a bike without training wheels

Read Harry Potters 1-3 to a little boy

Watched a little boy light up a stage

Watched a taller boy get his diploma

Watched a taller boy win a really hard fight

Watched a taller boy say he does to a beautiful girl

Sat in the company of a dozen teenagers who love me

Loved a dozen teenagers

Made music

Made friends

Drank tequila

Watched jeopardy

Ate some really fantastic food

Ate some absolutely god-awful food

Cooked some absolutely god-awful food

Paid my bills on time

Got a raise

Laughed a ton

Said goodbye to a good friend (Love you, Joebie.)

Dyed my hair

Lost 30 pounds

Put ten on again.  Then lost it again.  Then gained five and called it "stasis."

Sang karaoke.  And a gig.  Or three.

Got beaten at Trivial Pursuit.

Lived.

Been a pretty damn good couple-few years.
