It just wouldn’t be right to post a complainy rant on Thanksgiving. So, today, I turn the blog over to a guest poster, our 6 year old daughter. I asked her to write about what she was thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving fellow Americans!

November 28, 2013 at 8:24 pmHer absolute favorite book is the Fancy Nancy series. She loves being fancy. In her opinion, being fancy is more important than being smart or hard working. I have a lot of work to do on her…

November 29, 2013 at 3:19 amHello,
How cute! Happy Thanksgiving to your family. I am a new fan via Zite. I read in your interview that you went to pharmacy school. Do you still practice? I did until about 6 months ago after my hubby and l saved like crazy and decided to move to Europe and travel for a couple of years or so after reaching our lofty goal. I look forward to reading more of your blog

November 30, 2013 at 8:35 amHello!
Nope, I never completed pharmacy school. After the first year, I decided it wasn’t for me. Now, I develop software.
I’d be interested to hearing more about your goal. Sounds like you have an interesting life. I like it!

December 1, 2013 at 12:17 amThe story is way too long. Too many things went wrong during the recession, including a foreclosure (caution to would be landlords about bad renters..they can ruin you). Anyway, we survived and realized we no longer wanted to be tied down by material things. We aggressively paid down our consumer debt, including taking a loan on the 401k (I know it’s not recommended). We didn’t eat out for over 3 years, not even fast food. We sold 2 under performing rentals (slight profit overall), sold most of our stuff, rented the house and left for a tiny island in Europe. We have enough to not work for at least 4 years. We make about 1,000 after expenses monthly from the rentals. 401k is at half a million. We have no kids by choice because we wanted to travel, but somehow we forgot and got caught up in the dream. Now, life is good. I don’t miss pharmacy. I am actually thinking about taking some Java programming or Adobe classes because l love to learn. Hubby is a photog, so we are trying to make a go of that so we don’t get bored. He is also European which is why l get to stay. We have 1 trip per month scheduled for the next 6 months. Imagine our round trip tickets to Marseilles cost 80 dollars for both of us!!!

Our little guy has a few years before he’ll be doing this. But I found our nieces’ recent answers cute (and… interesting).
Our older niece was asked to write in her journal why she should be nice to friends. After a lot of thinking she couldn’t come up with anything and declared: “I didn’t realize I was such a nice person!”
Her younger sister was asked to write what she was thankful for. Her paper simply said: “I am Thankful for _______” and she had filled in the blank with her own name. The family is hoping she just didn’t understand the exercise.
