This morning, I paid two bills that came in the mail yesterday. Often, I wait until I get disconnect notices, but I'm turning over a new leaf. ... But the best part of the dig-out I've been doing this week - I found two refund checks for classes I'd registered for, and then canceled. Almost $300! What kind of a fool would lose that much money? I found them as I was sorting paper into trash/file/pay. Now I've got them in an envelope, ready to go to the bank. Josecheung -- My DH and I would do that! I hope that we haven't lately... I'll take after GettingSomewhere & give you a happy dance for digging out & turning over a new leaf! I haven't been posting on this thread even though I know it is a healthy thing to do... especially when depressed. but I couldn't think of anything to brag about. So, here is one, I guess... I have worn full make-up now for the last 3 days! I am another one of those who has felt old & ugly lately.... Aging is the pitts! I do feel better about the way I look once it is on... but boy, I am hating that I have to do this now! Used to just wear lipstick and occasionally eye make-up and only base & foundation if really going somewhere special. Hopey -- thank you for this great thread. I am going to try to do this daily. CD

That is fantastic, gettingsomewhere! I wish everyone were so kind to animals, especially the "non-fuzzy/non-cute" ones!

I can multitask--I really am working when I am online talking to you guys!!!! Me, too! Ponygirl--I am very impressed by yours. You would be amazed at what crappy meeting minutes I have seen in my lifetime <shudder!> , I type that and then I have a typo! OK, another brag--I can laugh at myself BF Thanks, BF! I work hard at it and take pride in writing good sets of minutes. I've been at this position (non-profit philanthropic) for ten years and attending board meetings and taking/writing minutes is one of my (many) "duties". It definitely is a skill. As is stated, "An organization speaks through its minutes." That is so true.
But, whew!!! It can be tough!

I haven't bragged for a while. what on earth will I brag about? "I am good at denying myself pleasure." no, no, that's not in the spirit of the thing. not at all. hmm.
I can make bread out of flour and water. In fact, I can make something out of almost anything.
