83. Have flowers delivered to 10 ladies for no reason

I accomlished this goal a few weeks ago and didn't remember that it was even one of my goals! I got yellow roses from the store and they were just too pretty to keep to myself, so I brought most of them to some friends. I was pleased to see thier reactions when I showd up at their doors for no reason but to brighten their day :) I have wonderful friends who are supportive, loving, and appreciative of even the small things. I wish I could give a rose to all my friends, but I would run out of money... so I'll just say THANK YOU SO much for being AWESOME. Love you all!

50. Learn what everything under the hood of a car does

So last night my awesome husband gave me a lesson in cars. Let me tell you, I knew he was smart, but wow, I was just in aw of how much he knows about cars. This was his idea too! He knew it was on my list of 101 things to do, so he just out of no where decided last night was a good night to do it. I learned about the following things:
Starter
Alternator
Master Cylinder (with brake fluid in it)
Belt
Engine
spark plugs
pistons
windshield wiper fluid
where to check the oil (which I knew)
where to fill the oil
Coolant fluid
Radiator
Transmission fluid/ Clutch fluid
Struts
Calipers (also have pistons)
roter
Exhaust
air intake
air filter (for the engine & the air that comes into the car...2 different things)
how to change light bulbs
fuze box
And maybe a few more that I can't think of right now.

I just loved watching Brian teach, he's really pretty natural at it.  And when the oil needs to be changed....I get to do that too!!!
(You never knew I could be so excited about cars did you? Well neither did I!)

Goals 2 & 64

I finally got my kitchen chairs covered with plastic! They look great and once I accomplish one of my other goals of learning to post pictures, I will show you :) We also bought laptops, one for each of us. We ordered them online cause we couldn't find the one we wanted in stores. I'm a little nervous about getting them online, so we will see how they turn out. 4th of July was great! I LOVE this time of year, water play, family, flowers, fruit, BBQ's (potato salad and Burgers, my favorite), and sun. I hope everyone had a good holiday.

I got a group of 6 women together and we sang "The Mountain of the Lord" in church on Sunday. It went just beautiful! The women were so talented and had great voices. Our pianist was awesome!
