Today went a bit different than i had expected, but that isnt all a bad thing.

My brother met me first thing and we headed over to our grandparents house to do a little project that required two people. However by the time we got there plans had changed. We would instead be headed over to my great grandmothers home to clean out some of the remaining furniture and whatnot since she passed away a little while back.

Long story short, the day was a bit longer than i think any of us expected but we did get a lot of stuff cleared out and i came home with a few useful things myself. But more on that later maybe.

I spent the better part of my night at home feeling a bit sick. I'm not sure if it was the McDonalds we had for lunch or something i ate at home, Either way i'm not feeling the greatest in the stomach department tonight.

I also just got done meeting the daily goal over on Swagbucks. I am really shooting for every day this month so i can snag that extra 300 swagbucks to go towards my amazon savings. Which i was able to add another $5 gift card to tonight. Bringing my total savings up to $70 once my gift card codes come in. That Tablet or Plasma cutter might be closer than i thought! though still far off.

So, that was my day.

How about yours?

Sounds like you got a lot accomplished today! I've decided to "redo" my kitchen so spent most of the day today on Amazon.com, e-Bay and Etsy.......ended up getting a Modular Mates canister set with red lids and am going to get some red "labels" for them....also, got a couple sets of the Tupperware divided trays.......didn't spend any $$$ at Amazon.com, as I only have $35 in my account.....I've got $60 worth of the gift cards coming so will wait, will have almost $100 so then it will be fun shopping!
Good luck with your goals.......these days, I don't do very well over at Swagbucks.......am almost ready to give up on it.

Not a bad day. I had a wonderful phone call with my best friend, I did some cleaning that needed to be done, put away laundry (stuff like that) and I watched a great movie with Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski, on DVR. It was a nice day considering it was 19 degrees outside. Ugh.

I am glad you met your goal in swagbucks. I hope you get well soon.

Met a friend at Hobby Lobby to look at their 80% off Xmas decorations. That was a bust, 90% of the stuff was already gone. One of the salesgirls told me that people started buying it at 66% off. Well, we then had to go and have a drink and some nachos! Ha! We exchanged Christmas presents, too! That is always fun to do after the holiday has passed! I still have to exchange gifts w/ my best friend! Pretty good day! Hope you feel better soon!

Cleaning and craft projects today and for the next few days. Hope you're feeling better soon, Ryan! Sounds like you had a productive day even if it wasn't the way it started out. :)

I just cashed out for a $10 Amazon Card at Crowdtap. So that is my 1st earning of the year

I have hit my swag code all three days too. I didn't know about the extra 300 points though thank you for the heads up

My day started out slowly, but then kicked up a few notches. I got all sorts of chores done!!! I don't do swag bucks yet, but tomorrow I plan to cash out from Gather. I haven't touched my account since last January 4th. Super excited!!! It was a challenge to myself to see how much I could earn in a year...

I spent most of my amazon on the recessed lighting in my kitchen. It's getting back up there again but don't know what I'll need next so I'll just let it build for awhile.

Hope you feel better soon, and good luck on that tablet. Pretty quiet day here, trouble getting into Gather, did some ebay stuff.

I bet it was the MCD you ate that made you sickie-poo! :( I've been working hard at Swagbucks too... but no more than two hours a day.. I have to have a life too! lol
Janey M. Jan 4, 2013, 1:43pm UTC
Hope you are feeling better! Good job getting all that done! And good job on the swag bucks!

Get to feeling better soon Ryan and Congrats on your accomplishments.

Hope you are feeling better. I had salad tonight for dinner and it has made me sick. So, I got up from trying to go to sleep and now on the computer.

Thanks for posting to Point Taken. Have a great night!

Getting the daily goal at Swagbucks takes a lot of effort, but if you can get it even a couple of times, the bonus kicks in at the end of the month and really pays off!
