Good for you! Throw his old stuff away!

Better yet canned food drives are coming up and don't be surprised if people in San Diego are reaching out for help very soon.

I'd donate it to the food bank. Great job recognizing this in yourself~two steps forward today!

yeah, We brought home a lizard. A Savannah Monitor. She's never been an animal person of any kind and is very mean even to our little Puggle Lucy listed as my avitar. who wouldn't love such a cute face? so, that being said, I let the dog sleep with the kids every night now. they switch nights where Lucy sleeps. look out for her 2007 Halloween costume. She's going to be a witch. Kind of to mimic the ex? lol

Yes. We have deposit laws in michigan for cans and bottles. We have machines at the supermarket that takes them in and gives you a reciept to use when paying for purchases. I noticed that there isnt the usual tons of beer cans with wife gone. All pepsi cans now, and I just cant help but notice every time I go.

That's one of the best parts of a break-up ~~ reclaiming your personal space. God I absolutely love having my own bedroom again.

Everything I've done recently fits that description.

Want to go to the gym at 8pm go no big deal. Want to go to the bookstore at 3pm go....it is invigorating.

Yes..I can go shopping now and not worry about all the questions. What did you buy? How much did that cost? Do you really need it?

congrats Shu!!

We have the Kitchen Trash can and the Recycle Can sitting next to each other. Well, last year stbx decided that he didn't want the County to get the money from recycling our cans and bottles...he started insisting that a paper bag be left out for Them.

I HATE Stuff stacked on top of the Garbage Cans.

This has been an irritant for YEARS anyway-lazy people putting Garbage on the Garbage instead of Taking it OUT.

Well...First thing I Changed-I ended the Save the Recycle campaign!!!!!

The county can have their Cans and Bottles and help keep our County Recycle in Business-I don't think that STBX is really in need of this extra income at this point.

I might sound petty, but it's the little things in life, ya know???

I just got back from shopping, and even got my hair done. He never told me I couldn't but I was always so worried about money because he is a huge spender and now I can spend a little more on myself without worrying. I had a ton of fun!!

Yeah, I am about to have one tonight when I watch the Red Sox in the splendor of solitude.

Yes!! Got rid of the stuff that only he liked. My best odd happy moment was realizing that I had the WHOLE closet ( it's big) and both sinks in the bathroom.

I noticed it when I do laundry.

When we moved to VT, we bought a new super capacity front load washer and matching dryer. Only had to wash 2 maybe 3 loads a week.

Now that he's gone, I only generate enough laundry myself to wash every other week.

Seriously, I could write PAGES of stuff I can now do that my stbx didn't like. It wasn't until I got out on my own that I realized how much tension I lived with while trying to avoid his constant criticisms and disapproval. Some days I just want to shout "I'm free, I'm free. I'm free at last!" Not sure I will ever remarry.
