When the bough breaks...

Stormed last night. Really strong winds. One of the boughs of the tree came crashing down into the trailer. Such fun.

Houseparty kit and other freebies.

Well I have been accepted to host a Houseparty event...Johnsonville Italian Sausage party. Got my kit today. Check it out.

I also got freebies in the mail and from UPS.

I also got a $5 Amazon Giftcard from

And a $10 Gift card from 

Freebies I got today.

The mail may not be running today because of the holiday, but UPS is.  UPS brought me my freebies that I ordered from Amazon.  What makes them freebies you might ask?  I paid for them with Amazon credit.  Credit that I received from doing surveys, point sites, and more. So look and be jealous.

Freebies I got on 2/19/2011

Yes I'm a day late and a few dollars short, but here are yesterday's freebies.

Wonderful Friday Freebie.

Today I got the most wonderful freebie.  A brand new printer...completely paid for with the Amazon credit I won from doing a survey.  Aren't freebies great?!?!

Wednesday 2/16/2011 Freebies

Here are the freebies I got today in the mail.

Martha Stewart Living Magazine, Nexus samples, Glee Season 2 Volume 1, and another beauty sample.

Freebies I got today 2/11/2011

I got freebies in the mail today...all is right with the world! :)  Today I got a Listia win (rub ons), an order from Amazon (bowls, bamboo oil, and a beading book) that was free due to using a $55 gc that I won in an IWG, and a coupon for free hair color. I also won a $100 Amazon GC (emailed) because I did a survey.  Plus yesterday I received $30.68 Amazon from Crowdtap.

Epic Fail

Well no freebies today...and as of tomorrow I will have no virus protection...thanks to UPS.  Today the epic fail award goes to UPS!  My package from Amazon containing my McAfee Total Protection 2011 didn't arrive today.  Wouldn't have had to even order it if McAfee didn't want so much for online renewal (see previous blog post for more on that).  Anyway, it was suppose to arrive today.  It didn't. 

Why didn't it arrive today, you ask?  Because UPS sent my package to TEXAS.  That's right. Texas.  I live in Mississippi.  UPS didn't even have an answer as to why my package was in Texas. Maybe it was miss sorted.  Yeah, they got that right.  And now it won't arrive till probably the 11th, due to bad weather.  Thanks a lot, UPS.  I've enclosed a screencap so you can see the wonderful adventure my package is having.

When I called UPS, I told the agent that I hoped my package could arrive without going/being scanned through the rest of the 48 (actually 46 seeing as how it was first scanned in Kentucky and it was already scanned in TN, MS, and TX) states. I don't think she liked that.

As a side note, Amazon did give me a $10 credit for my troubles.

Mcafee Customer Service Fun

Seeing as how it is Sunday, there is no mail and no freebies to post.  Instead I though I would post the screencap of a conversation I had with McAfee Customer Support.  It is renewal time for my Total Protection software and I thought I would save time and renew online this year.  WRONG! McAfee wants $69.99 to renew online.  On Amazon it is only about $34 dollars.  I can buy it from Amazon and have it shipped to my house in a day and would still be cheaper than renewing online at McAfee.  So here is the conversation.  Yes, I was kind of sassy...but it is Sunday and I was bored...lol.

Freebies I got on Friday and Saturday!

Freebies I got yesterday and today include an ashtray from Marlboro for participating in the Outwit the West contest, Family Circle magazine, Taste of Home magazine, a Listia win, and a Charlaine Harris novel, courtesy of Zoompanel points.

Feb.1, 2011 Freebies I got

Today I received in the mail a Listia win and a coupon for free Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce. 

Yesterday I didn't really receive any freebies in the mail.  I did however get another $5 Amazon Gift Card courtesy of Swagbucks. :)  Swagbucks is awesome.  Just search, find codes, earn points and turn them in for great rewards like Amazon Gift Cards.
