Phx Proud of yourself? The Boasting Thread is upon us!

Feeling particularly proud of yourself?! I am, so I've created this thread.

I am proud of the following:

My brother is expecting his first child and they just found out it's a boy!

I'm going to my sister's graduation - she's getting her pharmacist PhD! She's 34 and she's worked hard to get it!

As of this summer, I will be a 5 year survivor of breast cancer! Go me!

I just recently got a huge raise at work! (I guess that makes up for having to work with a bunch of slimeballs.)

I have a super-duper wonderful boyfriend and we get to go on a cruise to Mexico this summer that we just bought the tix for! Yeah!

 

WOO HOO!!! CONGRATS!!!!

Right now, I'm proud of the fact that I've finally got to writing again. This time, I may even have a story worth publishing someday. I hope.

 

That's cool Wenchy! Maybe you'll share it with us sometime.

 

I will when it is finished. I've been working on it like a mad woman of late. My main problem right now...trying not to edit the crap out of it.

I'm about 42 pages into it so far.

I've always been wierd about my stories. I don't even let my family read them till they are finished. I'm pretty picky that way.

 

Wenchy: A writer AND a poet. Fine qualities in a veritable demi-goddess.

Rhisnnon: My mom is a cancer survivor, too, and I just have to say that I am touched by the sheer strength of character in the people who choose to fight against cancer tooth and nail. That you are a survivor is just a testament to your character. Good for you. Congrats.

 

You are so kind my servant!

Rhiannon: He's right you know...you are a survivor.

 

Aww, thanks you guys.

Okay, when the next Susan G Koman race comes around in October, I want you guys to come with me! A group of my lady friends and my aunt did it with me and we had a blast!

 

Hey, that sounds like fun. I don't need much persuasion to go run. I love it. And it'll be for a good cause.

 

Running isn't a plan! It's what you do when the plan fails!

Seriously, though. I'll prolly be in Sandy Eggo by then. Oh well.

 

Count me in for the run!

 

Hooray Rhiannon!

Hmm, something to boast about: Landing a job after five months of worry --
"Administrative Asst."

Waiting impatiently for LOTR: ROTK . . .

 

Wooo Hooooo! A fellow survivor! (Not breast cancer but I'm about to hit 15 years myself )

Boasting..... Oh yeah!

Having a lovely time up in Grand Lake... Went horseback riding this afternoon... Just got done w/ the jacuzi. And now going to have a wonderful dinner at a nearby lodge... Oh, and w/ the laptop, I even got indulge my net addiction real quick

I'll talk more about it tomorrow afternoon

 

Things I am rather proud of right now?

· Landing a new job that I enjoy, even with the stress?

· About to complete my first semester back at college in a few years

· Keeping myself a float while I unemployed

· Being part of a wonderful group of friends

· (and I am with you there girl) Finding a Great guy!

 

I got one of the leads in Arcadia!!

I also got two major roles in the playwrights showcase!!

 

I bought my P.A. and I am starting my band

I have a great job related to my degree.(even though i get paid no where near what i should)

I have a great family & family of friends (on both coasts)who support EVERYTHING I do.

and I have accepted change to become so much of a better person than I was 3 1/2 years ago in NJ. Which is more than most people do in a lifetime.

 

uh...

- i just got done with 'ground zero club'.

- it seems everyone wants me to act in their plays after i did macbeth.

- my stage resume has been getting fatter

- i look a lot sexier.

- girls are developing crushes on me. (yeah, even though i'm married.)

- I KNOW WHAT GIRLS ARE, TOO!

- life is good.

- and you're in love with me.

did i leave anything out?

oh yeah.

- i smell so freakin' sexy right now...

 

Luke smiled at me this morning

 

AWWWWWWW!!!

Is he a beautiful sandy-haired boy? Still have yet to meet this lad.






Shhhh...don't tell the Master this, but I think he's gonna grow up whining about power converters and kissing his sister! [face_shocked]

 

I really want to get a bumper sticker that states:

My son blew up the Death Star

 

NOW THAT WOULD BE COOL!

 

- Springtime in the Rockies! At noon yesterday it was in the 50's (up at Grand Lake), then we went horseback riding and before we headed back the snow started to fall... By the time I woke up to leave this morning more than 5 inches had fallen And IT'S MAY!!!!!!! Who's worried about that camping trip now?

- Good friends that know exactly what you need to clear your mind and free your soul from worry.

 

I'm glad I'm finally taking the steps to get rid of my stupid job and getting something that will help me in the long run with my career.

 

Just like Wenchy I'm writing a book.

But I'm doing it just for fun. I doubt publishers would take me seriously since I'm only 16. But my book still rocks.

 

The writing muse must be working overtime lately. I've been writing, too. (Not really a book, and I'm not going to tell you guys what, just because I'm not ready for people I actually know in the real world to read it. Maybe when it's finished. I'm weird about this stuff, too. )

Someone who reviewed it called my work (MY work! ) "utterly brilliant." I've read some of this person's writing and liked it a lot, so that really made my day.

I tell you, a person can't hear (or read, in this case) stuff like that enough.

 

Can you say my book is Utterly Brilliant?

Just so I can tell people that someone said that about my book. Go ahead say it.
