This is VERY exciting! SwagBucks.com has contacted me and is offering anyone who signs up for Swagbucks and enters this code: ASHLEYSCODE will get 5 Swagbucks (3 for signing up and 2 just for using my code! – Code expires Sunday (6/28)
Why SwagBucks?
How many times during the day do you go to Google and search for things? If you are anything like me - then that is multiple times. Let me introduce you to a site called Swagbucks.com. It is a site where you can earn points (which equals $$ in your pockets) while you search. This site is powered by Google - so when you search here you receive the same returns as you would by using Google.
What are the benefits?
- The main benefit is that you receive points for using this search engine site and then you can trade your points in their 'store' to receive items.
I have received almost 1000 points to date!
What items are available?
- Just about anything that you can think of -- Gift Cards are my favorite
I have cashed in some points and received $80.00 in Amazon Gift Cards!
How do I earn points so I can get free things too?
- Go to this link and register (It's Free) : http://swagbucks.com/- Enter this code: ASHLEYSCODE
- I suggest that you make it your default site to search with so that you will break the habit of going to Google.com
If you have any questions - please ask!
**If you are already a Swagbucks member: I’m sorry but this code will not work as they already giving away a lot codes for them through the blog, facebook and twitter.
I know I have not posted in a while – and I really do not have a lot to report on either – so instead I will share with you some pictures of Huck that we took last night just sitting on the patio enjoying the nice evening (before the storm)!
He is getting REALLY big – and enjoys chewing on things – hence 1/2 of a football
Hope you have a great day!
I apologize for the lack of post lately.
Work has been busy (a good busy)! We are preparing for a conference for work, starting new projects, and trying to maintain current systems – It is always exciting around here.
Our weekends have been full with family events, moving Ted into his office, Easter and all sorts. Life has been busy but I would rather be busy than bored. I have been posting a good bit at Ways to Save in Lee County and forgetting about my blog. I will try and do better.
So – done with my lame excuses!
I need your help. I will be going on 2 trips within the next month and a half to places I have never been.
1. I am going to Iowa State University in Des Moines, Iowa for a conference with work for 6 days and I will have a few nights to see the sights and such. Do you have any suggestions of things to do in Des Moines?
(If you happen to think of Ted that week – call him – I am sure he will be lonely and hungry :) )
2. The following week, Ted has a business trip to Los Angeles, CA he must take and I have decided to join him. I will work remotely some during the day (and he will be in his meetings) but I am hoping that we can find some fun things to do at night. Any ideas or fun things/places in Los Angeles that I must not miss? I actually think his meeting is about 30 miles from Los Angeles – but I am not sure. It is definitely close enough to enjoy some sight-seeing adventures while we are there.
Try this and please let me know if you are successful! I was not successful at all!
1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY......) and while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.
I told you so!!! And there's nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you've not already done so.
Ma was an incredible Godly woman. On Thursday afternoon, one of the last times that she was making any conversations, most of which did not make any sense, she stopped – looked straight up at the ceiling and spoke like she was 20 years old again – and this is what she said:
God, I love you. Please forgive me of my sins. I am praying for all my family, please keep them safe. Please come take me home!
Several times since then some of the only things we could make out were her saying –
I am going home tonight!
She was a godly woman who knew where she was going. Although it hurts us so much when they are gone – she is back with her husband after 25 years– she is working in her garden with no pain - and she is rejoicing in heaven with all the angels.
I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to have known my Great-Grandmother. She was such an inspiration and a blessing to be around. I consider myself very fortunate to have had her walk down the aisle at my wedding and that is something that I will never forget. 
Please remember my family this week in your prayers as no matter how old someone is, it is never easy to left them go!
This past Saturday morning when it was raining pretty good we could not work in the yard and so Ted decided that he would try and get some work done. He was in the office and I walked by and this is what I saw… Huck laying across his lap trying to get his attention.
I do not think that Huck liked the idea of Ted working on the weekend – he definitely thought he should be playing with him. I truly think that Huck thinks he is a person!!!
Do your animals do this same thing?
