What's a Recent Accomplishment You're Most Proud Of?
This week I helped my parents put in a new ceiling in my old bedroom. I used a saw without cutting my fingers (had to hold it with two hands though, because I'm weak) and used a drill to screw some wood together.
Lately I have been really proud of my 22-year-old daughter for relocating 1,000 miles from home, graduating with honors from a kick-ass women's college, finding an internship with a theater and a job at an Irish Pub.I am proud of my 19-year-old daughter for bringing her grades up, getting herself ditched by her slacker boyfriend and finding a new, interesting and smart partner. She and new boyfriend are downstairs watching "The Shining," so now I need to occasionally (very cool and casual) walk through the TV room to get something in the basement.
I managed to clean my disgusting living room/dining room from top to bottom on Saturday. Only took 9 hours. I'm rather proud of myself, but I'll be more proud if it stays clean for more than a week.
We understand. You are proud of your work.
What were you doing in her daughter's playroom?
Are you done already or taking a break?
I signed a lease this morning and I feel like that's an accomplishment for my business. I'm moving on up
To the 5th floor
Of a downtown office building.
I can start moving right away if I want. This weekend we'll take some of the stuff I don't use often and won't miss in the next 2 weeks.
Fast work, Janice. Congratulations on the new office.

That's great Janice!
Movin' on upTo the East side

Finally got a piece of the pie!
Mmmm, pie.Anyway, it may not be much of an accomplishment yet, but I got a call from a company I applied to. Calling them back sometime today to set up an interview!
Great news, Amber! Hope it goes well.

I gave birth to a healthy baby boy! I think that's brag-worthy.
Thanks! He was born on September 1st. I'm currently enjoying maternity leave and bonding with the little guy.
Congratulations, and welcome to our newest member. What's he reading?
Congrats, Charlotte!I managed, by dint of persistent pestering, to get our group of offices a second paper recycling bin! It took six months, but it's so worth it.
Congratulations Charlotte! And well done Jammies!

Good plan that you scoot behind The Ficus, Phil. We'll have to get one of those brushes that go in through the ear, or up through the nose to give that brain a good cleaning.
Congratulations Charlotte! What is the wee TCer's name? Good luck on your job interview, Amber.
Well done Jammies!
I made a quilt for my daughter. I have been playing at it for years and never seemed to be motivated to finish one until now. So I made one for my oldest daughter from start to finish. Since doing that one I have 3 orders for quilts from people at church/work so it looks like extra cash for the holidays.... ;)
Congratulations on getting the story published, KD! That's a wonderful accomplishment. Hope the novel finds a taker too.
Great job King Dino! Quite an accomplishment. I'm writing on audiobook. It's biographical. Well, basically I'm just recording myself talk for two days

Getting published has to be a fantastic feeling. Congrats KD.
my most recent accomplishment that i am proud of? well, i played another year of softball with a team of 20-30 year old athletes in a top division and earned my spot and never embarrassed myself despite being literally twice as old as some of the players.

I seeded, nurtured and grew several plants over the summer without killing any. We'll see what happens over the winter.
Kind of sad when that's the only a..."
Angela, I successfully killed every plant in my house and several outside (including my entire front lawn). I think you have accomplished something wonderful and should be proud!
