Little Things That Make You Proud

I would consider myself a moderately competitive individual. Whether it be in a sporting event, lifting weights, speed on the treadmill or elyptical (yes, I look at the person next to me to make sure they are not going faster than I am), actually running the entire loop Jeff and I run together instead of walking the last few hundred feet like I really want to, trying to always know the answers to questions - especially at work, shouting out the answers during TV game shows like Wheel of Fortune or Price Is Right - and I get really excited when I know an answer on Jeopardy, games at baby and/or bridal showers, cookie decorating, and yes...even orange peeling. Yes, orange peeling.

There are certain things in life that when you accomplish them it just makes you feel proud of yourself. Today, I accomplished something I hadn't done in a while - I got the peel off all in one, and yes, it made me proud! Everytime I peel an orange I attempt to get the entire peel off in one. Stupid, yes. Competitive, against no one other than myself. Anyway...just thought I would share how the little things make me happy during my Life As A Wife.
