What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud?
This morning I power walked four miles and then did upper body workout. Then I came in and started a small roast to make soup for DH who has a virus, poor baby. I washed all of my clothes and am proud to say that everything in my closet is clean and has been steamed. I've changed the bed linens and the comfortor is in the dryer waiting to go on next. All of this while tending to the little boy who lives inside my husband.
I'm exhausted! I'm proud that all of that is done and I can sit down and relax. Whew!

Well, look at YOU, Mary! I'm proud just to know you.
So, what I've done today to make me proud is know you.
Other than that, I did half an hour on the elliptical, some weights, and tanned. Then I took my dear hubby out to breakfast, poor overworked man. It was "second breakfast" for me, like the Hobbits have.
Then worked at the store and made a new solid customer because I pitched her with the romantic idea that "mom" tests and cleans appliances and "dad" delivers and installs them.
So, yeah baby I'm just proud. I can't stand it that you have all those cute emoticons and I don't.
My bottom hurts because I'm getting ready for the contest.

Oh.. now you're speaking MY language! I learned from the best.. Jon! Dahling.. ya legs ah like butta!
What, I should cook all day for kids who nevva visit their mutha... I'll eat by myself! LOL
Sounds like you had a hell of a day Mary.. you make me jealous! I was a lazy ass yesterday. I didn't feel so hot... overate, didn't make my first run to the gym and almost ditched the second but I'm proud to say I forced my sorry ass in the car. I got there late and figured I'd just do a 1/2 hour of cardio before weights, but Andrew was running late with a client (almost instinctively)... and asked if we could go 1/2 hour later. What.. he's got ESP on the days I'm trying to get away with something? So I did my hour of warmup/cardio.. then a solid hour of legs and we really hit it. ALL weights went up.. here we go again! It's going to have to get to the point where I just do tons of reps because I don't want to go back to pushing what I used to push.
Anyway.. I'm proud I did it.

Lessee, you mean proud of Friday stuff.....
I didn't kill that whiny lil boy inside MY DH! He was working up a boner all day over the rain ruining his Monster Truck birthday present - it's a tradition (yeah I know we are white trash)...the GS, SIL, DH all go to this annual show.
So, i get home and he is all pouty and angrified...and I had HAD it with work all week, plus had to get up early for work on Saturday....but I was reasonable.
However, I am willing to admit he felt that undercurrent of uh-oh in my voice as I was on the brink of strangling him. But only deep inside, had not made any sudden moves on him as of that point.

Well I'm sure he would have been proud to know that you were thinking of making sudden moves on him...just not THAT kind!
And being as we are both going through "the menopause", I know the kind of restraint it requires not to kill 'em...so you should be waaaay proud!
Girl, ain't nothin' wrong with white trash. I love 'em dearly, but my whole family is white trash...straight up out the can!

There's something about man sweat while he's pushing that hand truck that is rather exciting. I know I don't have hot flashes, but there is a definite rise in the heat when he gets all sweaty.
whoo.
No, the buns ain't fried, just getting toasty.
Today I hope to be able to report that I'm proud I handled a meeting with the "other grandmother" in my daughter's life drama. The main thing is, we love this little baby boy no matter what. But there is that unknown factor of "what will the other grandparents expect?" that has daughter very worried.
So, ladies, I will report in later today on the REST of the story.
Um... if anyone is interested and has no clue what I'm talking about, my daughter had an immaculate conception. NO? Oh. Ok, well, my daughter and her ex had a bit of an encounter which they thought they brought to a halt soon enough. SHE thought they were sort of patching things up and getting back together. He immediately found another girlfriend. Few weeks later, rabbit dies. Daughter assumes ex will say "Oh I love you let's be a family". I know, I know, I know, but she's 21. She's now 7 months along, he's pretty much being a silent and distant nothing, and she wants to know that there are no worries that the paternals will come and want their time with baby against her wishes. I think that side wishes baby boy would disappear. So in 45 minutes (stomach churn stomach churn) I get to find that out.
I realize I don't know any of you, honestly. But you've got guts, heart, and humor. I can use all three. And I'm still working on the buns of steel. I find I can raise up on 'em in the car if I am working hard. I sometimes wonder what other drivers think (as if they notice) but then that makes me laugh, which is probably worse. one two one two one two.
Film, as they say, at 11.
