Adelaide and i have decided to have a little race to see who can get to the $100 cash out first. This has really made gathering much more interesting for me. and also a lot more fun. I wanted to do update posts frequently but i thought that just a "hey i have this many points" post every day or so would be boring and annoying to those who follow me. so i tried making the post a little more customized which was fun, but today i decided it would be a lot more fun to actually make it a graphics based update each day or so. so, without further ado, here is the "Race to $100" update for 1/29/11

 

What do you think? i thought it would be more fun than a plain old post. I'll keep updating and changing it around as the contest drags on. it should be a while still. as we are only around a quarter of the way there!

I'm the first to admit that I'm lazy and I don't want to go back and look, but...

Someone mentioned when you first posted this race that your picture was bigger than Adelaide's.

Here, her picture isn't larger, but it doesn't seem to be as small. Did you manipulate things or am I just crazy?
Ryan Reid Jan 29, 2011, 3:05pm UTC
no, its actually still smaller, just hight wise.
Regina R. Jan 29, 2011, 2:54pm UTC
thats a great idea and I really hope you will win....
Ryan Reid Jan 29, 2011, 3:05pm UTC
haha, we both win in the end!
Janet "Jax" B. Jan 29, 2011, 2:55pm UTC

Ryan Reid Jan 29, 2011, 3:05pm UTC

Ryan Reid Jan 29, 2011, 3:06pm UTC

You are both doing very well on points - though the finishing line is a long ways off - still got plenty to do - but take your time, don't over do the amount of postings either - enjoy the race :-))
Ryan Reid Jan 30, 2011, 9:06am UTC

You can either have the $10 cash or a $10 gift card of your choice (as long as I can get it, that is....LOL!)
Ryan Reid Jan 30, 2011, 2:20am UTC

Diane Huizenga Jan 30, 2011, 12:16am UTC
