Focusing on an affordable solution to getting my car fixed was going great. I wrote down my specific wishes to the Universe and even randomly found a $100 off coupon for brake pads online. And then, I did absolutely nothing about it. Instead, I decided that it was a better idea to go visit my friend in Las Vegas.  Well, it’s not like you need to use the brakes on the freeway that much anyway. Plus, they don’t make that awful grinding noise every single time I use them, so it can’t be that bad yet. I regret nothing.

However, this means that I still need to attract getting my car fixed for cheap. Very cheap. Because I  may or may not have spent all my extra money in Vegas. And since I’m doing this whole ‘focusing’ thing where I work on attracting one thing at a time, I need this to happen ASAP, so I can move on to attracting fun things. Like more trips to Vegas.

Looking for inspiration, I dusted off some of my Law of Attraction books. After reading a bit, I came across a chapter called “Feeling is Creation” wherein it talks about how your feelings are basically deciding whether  you are attracting positive or negative things in your life.  First of all, I’m surprised that I ever even got past the cheesiness of LOA to believe in it at all.  And second, this is not good news for me because I generally have three feelings ever.  1. Drunk 2. Annoyed and 3. Murderous Rage.

Since annoyance and wanting to murder people in the face don’t seem on the positive end of the emotions spectrum, that leaves me with drunk. I can work with that. I mean, drunk is happy. I love lots of things when I am drunk. This could work.

The LOA books say that when you give love for something, no matter the circumstances, the circumstances must change. OK, so I just need to figure out how many glasses of wine equals feeling happy about getting my brakes fixed.  I’m guessing several.

This is my plan:

1. Drink copious amounts of wine
2. Go outside to my car and talk to my brakes in the same drunk fashion I would talk to another random drunk girl I met in a bar bathroom and tell them how much I love them right now
3. If they don’t magically fix themselves because they feel so loved, find a mechanic who will fix them for less than $200
4. Also, find $200

Great plan. I feel good about this working. Cheers!

 

 

 

I was drunk snapchatting with a friend last night, ( and by that I mean I was whining about not knowing what to write about for my blog) and he suggested that I write about prioritizing things I would like to attract. And then I thought about Post-It Notes. More specifically, a Post-It Notes commercial. It’s a logical thought progression when wine is involved.

Anyways, the Post-It commercial, as stated above, had claimed that you’re 40% more likely to accomplish something when you write it down. 1. Yes, I am going to blindly believe that what a TV commercial is telling me is true because it sounds good, and I am far too lazy to look that shit up. 2. Yes, I am actually using a Post-It Notes commercial to motivate me…and 3. This whole writing stuff down scenario is good news for me, because I am, in fact, a writer.

So I made a list of some things I want to attract, ranging from spaghetti to all expenses paid trips around the world. Now, back to my friend’s suggestion that I prioritize all these things. I started thinking that maybe some of my trouble attracting things in the past has been because I start getting excited about all the cool stuff I want and I lose focus.

According to LOA, being specific is key. Keeping this in mind, I decided  that from now on, I will work on attracting one thing at a time, writing down in detail the specifics of what I want and really focus on it until it comes into fruition, then move on to the next thing.

What I really wanted to attract first was a cool trip somewhere but apparently the universe decided that I need new brake pads (I think) for my car.
ME: I want to go to a cool new city that I’ve never been to!
UNIVERSE: HAHAHAHAHA. Maybe. But first, here’s a new car problem.

I say I *think* I need new brake pads because every once in awhile, when I use the brakes, they make this grinding noise. Looking up car issues online is worse than going to Web MD when you’re sick. My car probably has cancer for all I know. Ugh.

So, here is my plea:

Dear Universe, thank you for the solution to my car issues being simple and affordable, and not something that I need to go to the DMV for. Also, please never let me have to go to the DMV ever again, ever. Thank you.

Hey, when my blog is famous, do you think Post-It Notes will send me free Post-Its?? They should.
