Re: accomplishment thread
 

Today's accomplishments:

-Getting out of bed (which, mind you, is never guaranteed).
-Taking a hard-to-find, even-the-paint-is-about-three-weeks'-pay, $46,529 Buick Enclave on the open road unscathed. (I don't have a habit of damaging cars at work, but that would be a particularly bad time to start one.)
-Devising a better way of showing the world that yes, said Enclave has two sunroofs. (Previously, I'd shot from the interior going out. The exterior-going-in shot just looks nicer.)
-Secured a step ladder to keep from having to shoot said sunroofs while holding the camera over my head and shooting blindly. (I shoot with a Nikon D60. Who needs live-view screens? :P)

That was all before lunch today.

Hmm...What have I accomplished today?

~Bruising my shins from climbing out of the pool more than 20 times in three hours
~Obtaining a parakeet, and naming him Kiwi
~"Fixing" a loudspeaker after watching 4 adults attempt to make it work. They weren't smart and didn't even thinking of checking the cord to make sure that IT wasn't shot.
~Being called a brat for fixing said loudspeaker
~Changing my Facebook status 9 times in one day (long story short, my friend wondered if I actually could)
~Failing to work on my math assignment (Yes, that one is actually an accomplishment. I normally can't get away without doing it)
~Remembering to take my vitamin

I have the feeling I accomplished a lot more today...yet, I have seem to forgotten what I have accomplished.

I just discovered a moon orbiting Regulus 279 in the Crab Nebula...it may support life.

I helped :)


Let's see... What'd I do lately...

I had the 10,000th post on the longest thread in CD history (I think).


Eh, it's gotta be worth something. My summer hasn't been exactly amazing thus far... Not bad, just not that fascinating.

Re: accomplishment thread
 

Traveling through three states within about three hours of each other.
Staying on track with my summer running (XC FTW!!).
Starting my summer reading before the last week of summer.
Answering every question asked on the "Cash Cab: Shark Week Edition" correctly.
Seeing the Straight Talk Express in person.

Re: accomplishment thread
 

Let's see: - Not killing anybody during band practice.
- Not screaming bad things at people in band practice.
- Buying decorations that will most likely upset somebody.
- Got major distance pushing a friend in a rolling chair.
- Loaded the dishwasher.
- Made Koolaid.
- Played flute at a new level of loud.

That's it for today. Not that great, but it's the small things, right?

I had a baby boy.

Well, my wife did most of the work, but I still take half credit.

Re: accomplishment thread
 

I got a job at Circuit City yesterday!

I also consumed lots of Dr. Pepper.

(I haven't posted on CD in forever, but this thread seems like an appropriate time to come back)

Re: accomplishment thread
 

I pulled off a flawless synchronized swimming routine. I suppose that has to count for quite a bit.

And...I started packing for my upcoming vacation. Vacuum-packing everything saves A LOT of space.

Oh yeah, I cleaned my room, too. That's a MAJOR accomplishment

My accomplishments?

Amazing Facebook Graffiti art. I don't know if you'll be able to see this but prepare to be amazed. :D

Re: accomplishment thread
