I Did It!

Do you remember this meme?  My sister, Clara, started it on her blog, which is no longer available online.  I loved this opportunity to share accomplishments and victories with fellow bloggers.  I’ve wanted to see this revived and so I asked Clara if it would be okay to bring it back.  With no hesitation, she gave me her blessing to do that.

For that reason, I have started a new blogger blog to support “I Did It! – Monday.”  You can get there by clicking on the banner.  I invite you to join me on Mondays–or later in the week if that works better for you–and leave a link to you post on the IDIM blog.  And please tell your friends.  Thanks–a lot!

Sylvia’s Big Project

The impetus to launch IDIM this week came from Sylvia.  When she found out that her dad would not be home last Tuesday, she realized she had Monday and Tuesday open.  That didn’t last long.  Monday morning while I was making my usual online rounds, I realized that she was doing something in the bathroom next to the office.  The “cottage cheese” or “popcorn” ceiling was about to be removed.  I helped with removing lighting fixtures.  Then I got out of the way.  (I can be very good about things like that.)  When the day was ended, two bathrooms had smooth ceilings.

Come Tuesday, Sylvia sanded the ceilings, wiped them clean and painted.  Tuesday ended with fresh paint on the ceilings.  Sylvia was very tired, but had a huge smile on her face. 😀

I replaced lighting fixtures on Wednesday and Sylvia did some cleanup.  It’s done!  All I can say is, “Well done Honey!”  Oh, “And thanks.” :up:

  1. WTG, Sylvia! I don’t like those popcorn ceilings either. Can’t wait to see how great they look now. 🙂

  2. Hooray!! That is a relatively easy, but very messy job!! Good work, Sylvia!!

    Do you hire her out for projects, Chuck??? 😉

    • It certainly is messy. :gum:

      Hire her out? :no: Not going to happen. :nono: But I can understand where there is a market . . . :awe:

  3. Since all I do is eat hay, grain and burp I cannot feel that these are accomplishments of note. But kudos to Sylvia and the publicist wants to know if she hires out.

    • Sorry. 🙁 She doesn’t hire out. :nono: Her male person wants to keep her close to home so he doesn’t get lonely and sad. :no: He’s kind of a wimp that way. 🙄

    • Yowzer, she certainly is! :awe: And you, my friend, could report something every day methinks. :frolic: :frolic: I’m certainly hoping that you do post your “I Did Its.”
