What are you proud of today?
Tell us what you are proud of so we can all pat your back!
I just finished my honors thesis and feel over-flowing with joy and puppies and flowers ! Excuse the uber cheese, it feels wonderful to be done and I'd like to know what everyone else is proud of today.

Re: What are you proud of today?
Right now, I'm really proud of my parents. I talked to my mom today and she said that she and my dad (they're divorced, and don't talk all that often) have devised a plan to pay for my wedding without draining anyone's savings.
They're going to buy, flip, and re-sell a house, then use the profits for the wedding. It's something they used to do together a lot, but haven't since their marriage went south. The fact that they're teaming up and willing to do this together, just for me, puts me over the moon. I could cry.
So, yeah, add me to the "joy and puppies and flowers" club.
I'm proud of myself for getting a few of our wedding gifts unpacked and set up. Also, I mistakenly thought that 75 thank you cards would be enough between the shower and the wedding...I was wrong. I'm going to need to make at least 30 more and I got half of them made today (no, I don't have the thank you notes written yet, not that good, just the cards made). I plan to start writing the thank you notes this weekend.
Elle, that is awesome about your parents! They must both really love you a lot to be doing this for you. It's also awesome that they are paying for your wedding!
Happy Birthday M!!!
my 2012 shelf:
Elle, that's great that they're working together for you! I'm sure it's incredibly touching that they'd put aside their differences.
Amy, CONGRATS on finishing the thesis! That's gotta be a huge relief!
Nothing I'm particularly proud of today... yesterday was a crappy day at work where I felt like everything I ever did right was ignored and everything I did wrong was magnified and blown out of proportion. It sucked.
Oh, but I did get my impressions for Invisalign! So I'm starting in 3 weeks. Not so proud, more nervous/excited.
As minor as it is, I'm proud that I got my butt out of bed at 4:45 this morning as planned considering I went to bed at 10:30 which was not as planned. I need to keep this motivation up knowing that we are getting 20-30 cms (8-12 inches) of snow in the next 24 hours and I'm going to have to shovel it all by myself.
My Bio - updated 26/3/2011
I started a workout class last month. Super hard and way more than I ever thought I could handle. Anyway, I've managed to drag my butt there for the entire month, 3 times a week, no skips! I'm super proud of that and intend to keep it up.
Life is good today.
Elle, that's crazy and great.
Emily, happy belated birthday!!
Mana, great news about your knee!
Cate, I'm sure the Invisalign time will fly by!
Hazel, I do not envy you and your impending snow-shoveling.
Good job, everybody!
I had a successful interview for a staffing agency on Monday. They're submitting me for a couple of jobs. We'll see...

Emily- Happy belated birthday!
Last night I finished one of my classes and found out I got 100% on both my 10 page paper and 40 min presentation! It feels really good to do well on a presentation like that because I get so nervous and anxiety-filled just thinking about presenting! It's good to know that I can do it well even when I'm so nervous!
[QUOTE]I sent out two resumes today with custom cover letters. I hate writing cover letters.

Cover letters and OBJECTIVES are the worst. Duh I'm writing because I want this job and my resume shows how I am qualified. My objective is TO GET THIS FREAKIN JOB!
I'm proud that thus far I have not freaked out on anyone yet today. (Mega stressed out due to my parents being difficult.)
