#20 Don't eat out for a month (30 days) including coffee

So today begins my second attempt at this.  Last time I made it 3 weeks.  It couldn't have come at a better time while I am working on my budget and getting shape for my trip to Punts Cana in June!!

HACKED EMAIL ACCOUNT

Hi Everyone,

Someone has hacked my email account and has sent an email to everyone in my email account.  Since gmail remembers everyone you have emailed in the past you could have been emailed even if we only have exchanged very brief communication in the past.

Regardless do not open the email

Thanks, 
Corinne

Postive Quotes

With the recent events, I thought it only be fitting to post some positive quotes about relationships.  They are good read for a little boost and a reminder of why I am wayyy better off.

 

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." — Marilyn Monroe

 

Don't take a good woman for granted. Someday someone will come along and appreciate what you didn't. ♥

 

Don't shed your tears for someone who hurt you... Don't long for that person if they left... Don't feel sorry if you failed when you tried your best...

 

A great relationship happens when two people who truly understand each other and love each other for who they are come together and create something stronger than either of them could ever be on their own

 

Behind every beautiful girl there is a dumbass guy who did her wrong and made her strong

#94 Wear my hair down every day for a month~10/11/2011

I know this one seems kind of weird.  Like it should be really easy and not really be on a list of things that is hard to do for someone but it is.  I can't speak for everyone from Milford, NH but in my experience where I grew up there were a lot of people who didn't make much effort in how they look.  I in way, stopped caring about my hair and was always wearing it up.  After the 30 days I am happy to say it really wasn't that hard to do every day and I made something out of nothing really.  I think I will stick with it...at least on most days.  I feel more feminine!

 

On a side note, you can see I was showing some good weight loss even with the drinking and celebrating on the weekends.  I was pacing about 1.6 pounds a week...that's not bad.

#68 Learn how to change my own oil~5/27/2011

How many girls do you know that can change their own oil?  Well add this girl to the list.  I can understand why people bring their cars in to get it done though, it was kind of a pain in the ass.  Trying to jack the car up and then climb under booo.  Also I only learned this in May.  You would think I would recall more of the process...but here goes my best explanation of changing our.  Keep in mind I don't know all of the correct terminology, I'm still a girl.

1. Jack the car up to get under, preferably on level ground and when the engine has cooled off

2. Open the oil cap under the hood, and pull out the oil dipstick?  It creates a suction we need air to get in the for oil to go out :)

3. Put your oil pan under the car.

4. Now we get dirty under the car and loosen the cap under the car with the circle on a stick tool it kind of looks like a kitchen tool lol.

5. Get a man to loosen it for you because I was not able to loosen it myself.

6. Take the cap off and make you don't lose it in the oil pan and you need to make sure you have the rubber circle that makes sure your oil doesn't leak.

7. Put the new oil filter in, make sure you have a rubber circle in the cap part, lube it up with oil to make a good suction.

8. Thread it careful you don't want to miss thread it and then mess it up or put on too tight, you will leak oil

9. Put the car back down, well get out from under it first.

10.  Pour in the new oil per the amount the owner's manual says

11. Check the oil with the dipstick to make sure you put enough in

WHALLA!

The Juices are Flowing Today

I have a sense of motivation today, kicking ass and taking names.  I got back on track today with the 101 bucket list and have made some serious progress.  You may have seen my post on Facebook trying to find some supporters and joiners for the adventuresome ones.  I have another 22 here that are in progress and you can see by the list that TEN of them are kicking off on this coming Sunday.  I know that might sound aggressive and overwhelming but unfortunately it is reality.  I have been putting off this list for awhile and letting other things taking priority.  I haven't been giving it the priority it deserves.  It is also is a great way to keep a grieving mind busy.  So as you guys see my post coming up for the next month of the TEN list items being completed at once, feel free to send of some motivation and support to keep it going.
