It's week THREE already of The Happy Day Challenge!
What is The Happy Day Challenge?
Welllll...just because we all deserve a little happy, I give you a simple challenge every Wednesday, you do it, blog about it, and link up your post the next week.
Sound good?
Oh, it's good...believe me!
Let's not waste time, huh?
Challenge #3: Do Something Gross, then Reward Your Sweet Self
I quickly realized when we moved here a few weeks ago, that the previous tenants had some strange cleanliness habits, as in...they didn't have any cleanliness habits.
They also had a dog.
A rambunctious dog.
That pooped.
On the balcony.
Because he was apparently trapped out there.
For long periods.
Call me Sherlock, but after seeing the gnawed rails and the old poop stuck in the decking, it wasn't too hard to figure out.
Yes, that's poop. And there was a lot more than this. I was unimpressed.
So armed with my painter's stir stick and bucket o' bleach, I shoved every last piece of doo out of those cracks and scrubbed it down. My in-laws were due the next day and I didn't think that would be a very good way to greet my guests; poop on the balcony, that is.
So I had planned in my head when I finished this disgusting task I was getting a treat. And I'd been craving a Thin Mint allll day.
It felt so good to get that gross thing off my To-Do list.
My porch felt clean and ready for some fauna.
I had a sweet moment of bliss alone with coffee and Thin Mints...
It all worked out to line up perfectly with a Spring thunder storm (my favorite).
I relished in the poop-free, coffee-ful, balmy, Springy moment.
Happy Day indeed.
So that's your challenge:
Do Something Gross (that's been stalking your to-do list) then Reward Your Sweet Self.
1. Do the challenge
2. Blog about it.
3. Link up next week! Yeah!!
Ready???? GO!!!

Oh ick. You poor girl! Yes, you definitely deserved that treat!
Joining in today. I think I'm going to like all this happy. Enjoy the day!
So glad you got that done. Whew! Yuck! Hmmm my wheels are turning trying to think of something gross. I wonder if something torturous counts? I'm so burned out lately. I'm thinking of taking a few weeks off from blogging. I need a break from all things.
ohmyword.
i have THE PERFECT job for this!!!!!
it involves duck poop{MASSIVE AMOUNTS} and my front cement area.
you don't EVEN want to know! :D
happy day girlfriend!
xo
I'm so relieved to know your porch is poop free!!! Gross! How can people stand to not care about a poopy porch? Glad you are there to show the house some TLC!
Hellooooooooo! I'm back! And I've missed you GOBS!
Ok, the poopy porch is gross! I think you could have rewarded yourself with more than a a few cookies- hee hee!
Can't wait to catch up! I'll call ya later gater!
coffee and thin mints? Yes please! And why did 2 posts show up at once in my RSS feed?
Hey ... how did I miss the second project.
I am going to clean out a messy closet and then reward myself. Still thinking about what it will be. And I will try to remember to take pictures, this time and blog about it.
YOU make me happy.
Good work, lady :) And just so you know, you ARE inspiring me with these happy projects - I did go to the nursery and bought plants...but held them at the counter while I took my kiddos out to the car...days later I realized I never went back to the counter. Also really wanted bedtime routine to be over already last night, but read more books to kiddos anyway...just no pictures to blog with. Major disconnects going on here, but thanks for inspiring me in these good, sweet ways. Now to get back to the nursery. ; )
love, cailan
that's funny, and gross!
we used to have a dog (she was a crazy dog, i hated her) and she could never ever learn to potty outside. i was constantly cleaning up after her and it was so stressful for me. we do have all hardwood floors, but even still--it was such a wretched situation!! so, i know your pain!!
Okay I have something I could actually do that is gross and I"ll be gone next week so I can't blog about it. DOG-GONNE-IT!!! LOL
uhm how cool would that be, if you would be my real life neighbor???!!!! I would show you my respects for all the dog-poop-cleaning by bringing you your very own almond cake...You surely deserve some.hmmm something gross: Let me see what I can come up with for this challenge??? This will take some serious thinking!
You deserve way more than thin mints for what you did! :)
Once again, I'm not able to link up (I was on a semi-blog break this week)
But I love challenge #3 and I have a good post to share for that one!
