So this is my current bucket list. I know there are many things I need to add to it, but it's a work in progress. :) I'd like to mark a few things off of it this year!
This second picture is of my receipt from McDonald's yesterday. Not the most healthy lunch, but hey, sometimes you gotta eat what you want, and yesterday I wanted two cheeseburgers. But I didn't have Coke, I had Hawaiian Punch. The reason the receipt is important is because I didn't pay a penny for my meal. The Jingit card in bottom left had a little over $6 on it from watching ads and scanning certain products at Walmart on my iPhone. Check it out if you're interested. Jingit
With the above savings on my McDonald's meal, January's savings/earnings so far are $91.53. I have no doubt that this month's goal of saving/earning $100 will be met! :)
So, what's on your bucket list? And/or what's your favorite savings method or app? Please share with me!
Yep, my good friend James knew it was going to be a problem. Number 10: Be more positive. Here it is day 7 into the new year and I'm Negative Nancy already. Blame it on Monday, or whatever you want to, but I'm just not feeling the word positive today.
Honestly, I don't think I've ever been a positive person. I can probably find something bad in everything, although I really don't want to be THAT person. I just can't seem to help it.
But today, it's even worse. So, I'm trying to put on that Papaw Kincaid smile *sending love to Heaven* and get through it. I could use your help though! Comment below or send me a text, email, or message with your favorite positive quote!
This one fits me today:

First off, if you aren't using Swagbucks as your search engine, you're missing out. Last year alone, I cashed in $45 in Amazon gift cards. Depending on how often you use search engines and the amount of referrals you get, you could earn much more than I did.
Anywho, on to the point of the post. Here was today's poll: (and btw, lets turn that no into a yes this year!)
First off, I really don't know much about blogs except I've always wanted one. This is actually my second attempt. I'm starting this one to keep up with my 13 in '13 resolutions, and if you'd like, you can keep up with them too!
I came up with the idea because 1) I'm going to be 30 this year (gasp!) and 2) I'm ready for some changes in my life!
Without further ado, here is the list!
1) Complete all 12 races in the County Wide Stride series
you can read more about that here. (Last year, I did 10 of the 12)
2) Lose 20 pounds.
3) Go on a cruise.
4) Start and finish my first t-shirt quilt.
5) Finish all works-in-progress quilts. (I think I have three?)
6) Cross something off my bucket list. (more about that later)
7) Money management ($1000 emergency fund, pay off debts)
8) Organize and de-clutter.
9) Finish floor model tv redo
10) Be more positive.
11) Take a photography class. (I love landscape photography)
12) Save $100 a month (in coupons, surveys, Swagbucks, etc)
13) Take a painting class.
I'm going to try to update this at least weekly, if not more often, so I can keep track of myself! Help keep me accountable if you would like!!
