I was really proud of how spencer did with the circular saw when we built my friends deck. And proud of Ripleys painting... I hope glatt's kids and mine all retain the skills and have fond memories of the days they acquired them

I am proud of my little business. This week, provided I sell out at the markets as is usual, people will have paid me almost $1000 to bake for them. That's something I never thought would happen, and that it's happened within 7 months is well, something to be proud of.

I'm also proud of the fact that I'm making progress on fixing a problem we have with a drain outside. Mav and I spent most of sunday digging around and have located the problem. One of my customers has offered to bring his bobcat over and dig out a new pit for the drainage. He said I can pay him in cupcakes. My business has also saved me over $500 this week.

I am proud of that too.

I am actually also proud of the fact that I am trying to have the patience to see out the rough patch my marriage is having, and staying hopeful that things will improve in the future.

Good for you, Ali! On all counts!

lumberjim · 09-24-2014, 10:34 AM

Yeah, that's a lot to be proud of. Keep up the good work!

DanaC · 09-24-2014, 10:36 AM

Yey Ali - that's really impressive stuff. ou must be feeling pretty damn chuffed with yourself right now

xoxoxoBruce · 09-24-2014, 01:27 PM

And she did it all upside down.

Aliantha · 09-24-2014, 04:58 PM

Thanks guys. It's actually pretty small stuff I guess, but it's progress for me, so that's good. Now if only the little kids would realise I have more to do than clean up their messes life would be much simpler. haha

Good on Ya, Ali.

There are so many great ones here. Its a real testament to the creation by toad & the people who dwell here.

Personally, mine is my kids. I have a daughter who graduated at the top of her class, earned her own classroom and is fulfilling her lifelong dream of being a teacher. My first son is finishing college on hisown and is a strong, fiercely independent young man. Lastly, I have Daniel. Just to "have" him and know that I was a prominent force in his surviving and his recovery makes me prouder of me than anything else I've done in my life.

infinite monkey · 09-27-2014, 03:37 PM

You SHOULD be proud, classic. Well done!

lumberjim · 09-27-2014, 04:00 PM

yeah, holy shit, batman. you owned that crisis.

classicman · 09-27-2014, 09:33 PM

thanks guys.
