Yay ME! thread

So, I think it would be nice to have a thread where we can kinda brag about anything. A pat yourself on the back thread.

So heres mine:

On friday, I decided I was going to ride with Phillip to work. Not 3 minutes into my ride I ate it hard. I had a flat, which was not there when we left and went around a turn and took off much skin.

After a few days of recovering I got back on the horse... I did it! I rode 17 miles each way ( I just started riding my bike again, and other than some mountian and cross country type stuff I only ride around my small town, so this was a big step for me)

I was so afraid that I wouldnt be able to do it.


SOOOOOO...


YAY ME!!!!

Man alive, my legs hurt just thinking about that ride. Then again, that may just indicate how wildly out of shape I am

Anyhow, YAY for lolamako!

Wow! Yay for you for sure!

I on the other hand have been useless, and aside from going to class and eating, have not accomplished anything today!

Yay for me!!??

Yay for me and the Chico team! We are organizing an awesome screening of Peaceable Kingdom and I feel so proud to be a part of it. I also handled my first press call ever today, and that was pretty cool.

Also, yay for me for catching yet another kitten that was dumped off at the farm today.

Also, yay for me for organizing a staff lunch at work today that went surprisingly well.

Yay for me yesterday, I ran about 3 miles or so in Bidwell even though my knee was killing me and it was dark and scary out. Afterwards I made buckeye's (without the paraffin wax, thankyouverymuch) for the staff lunch today. They were a big hit, and nobody ate any wax.

see it's so much easier to give yourself a pat on the back more often if you just lower your standards a little bit... Like YAY FOR ME, i stayed awake all day!!!! lol just kidding, seriously i like the thread idea though, i'll have to dig it up some day in the far future when i've done something noteworthy.

I think I personally picked off every one of the fleas that my new kitten friend came to the house with! I found eight, all adult females with unlaid eggs. That was like two weeks ago, and I check her every day and still haven't found more. And she doesn't leave eggs or larvae in spots where she hangs out, so I think I got all the females before they laid their eggs. So no chemicals needed! Yeay me! Oh, and Elise just loved it. She knew I was grooming her like her mom had done, and she was just rumbling and purring away. Cute!

Aw, that's so nice of you to pick your cat's fleas! How did you know they had unlaid eggs? I wouldn't know a pregnant flea if it....bit me.

Believe me, you'd know a pregnant one if you saw one. They're big and bloated, and their hind area is lighter brown instead of black, and fairly transparent so you can see all the eggs.
