Challenge #13: My Car (fail)

So, I know I still have 23 minutes but I am taking the defeat on this challenge. But I did put forth good effort on this one. I washed and put gas in IVY this week. AND I tried 4 times to get my oil changed, but apparently everyone here is having car troubles and so they were always way too busy to take me. I would have done it myself, but I most likely would have fouled something up and made matters worse. So this means it's time for a punishment! If I don't get any suggestions, I might try to come up with something but come on, someone can come up with a good punishment.

Anyhow, Challenge #14: COMING TO A BLOG POST NEAR YOU

Challenge #13: My Car (wash)

So today I went to get Ivy washed. Check it out. (I'm slowly learning how to add stuff to my videos so they aren't so lame. may have just made it worse. but it was fun)



Going to get the oil changed tomorrow :]

Challenge #13: My Car

So, over the past few months I've severely neglected my car. Every day saying I will do something about one problem or another. My poor baby, as you know if you read my previous posts, shut off on me the other day. Ivy has been so good to me and I want to treat her like the awesome car she is. So without further ado,

Challenge # 13: Wash, Top off (well, to 3/4 tank (another problem I have to fix but don't have the funds for)), oil change (it's been over 6,000 miles since I've changed it :/ ) and clean the inside (I've just moved so I still have a bunch of stuff in my car)

So
1) WASH
2) GAS
3) OIL CHANGE
4) CLEAN INSIDE

i <3 you, ivy

Challenge #12: the after

Done with a challenge before the week is even half way over! What? Yeah, you heard me! I pwned this challenge!

ANYHOW, here is what my rad shoes look like now:





As a little added bonus, I've decided to make a little video to go along with this challenge. I'm thinking about making this a more regular thing. Let me know your thoughts. Just fyi, the youtube I set up for this blog is http://www.youtube.com/user/swimmingwithbunnies

Challenge #12: the before

So for my DIY challenge, I decided that I'd make something I already have into something that I'd like to have more.

I saw these pretty neat shoes the other day when I was trolling the mall after playing with the puppies at barkworks (guilty pleasure). I really wanted to get them but they were like $48! "And I said, 'Oh no!' " And left, mostly because I didn't have the funds to buy them, and what money I did have, I needed to use for gas. (Today, my car stalled and shut off on me on the way to the gas station. She's better now, but she feels a bit sad when I drive her... I'll take good care of you soon sweetheart!)

Anyhow, I have these shoes that I got when I was in a musical and they are really plain. My idea is to jazz 'em up and make them a bit more fun. We'll see how this turns out.

Here's what they look like now:

Challenge #12: DIY

Challenge #12: Starting Sunday, August 8th Ending 11:59pm Saturday, August 14th is to do a DIY style project.

So just for clarification, challenges will now start on Sundays 12:00am and end Saturdays at 11:59pm.

I've already lost a day. woot. let's get started...

Challenge #11: Way Past Due (a new beginning)

Challenge #11 was to go some place new. I kinda used this as a copout because I knew I'd be gone for 3 weeks to go to the UK. So I did go some place new :] It was brilliant. 

Now, I understand I've not been keeping up with my challenges so I'd like to start again. I think this time it's going to be a bit different though. I will still be doing challenges, but I think I'll be adding a few random bits as well. I've been working on a lot of things here and there and I'd like to share some of that with whoever is reading these.  Anyhow, that's all for the moment. Hope to be posting something soon. Maybe later today...
