The Best Pet Hair Remover: The CarPET

Hey there friends.  As most of you know, I'm a proud owner of 3 dogs.  My mini poodle Odin, my chihuahua terrier Lucy, and their young one Lacy.  Even though they spend most of their time outside, we like to let them in the house from time to time and they just LOVE to hang out on the couch.  Wait... did I say hang around???  It's more like, roll over, jump, drag, and pounce all over them.  lol  I swear, it's as if they see the couch as a doggie jumper!  I like seeing them play and be happy.  What I don't like is having to clean up all the hair that they leave on the couch.  And since they all have white hair, it's very noticeable on our dark couches.  The short hairs really get in the upholstery so even after I vacuum the cushions, I still find hair every now and then.  But guess what... my good friends at Wicked or What offered me a solution... the CarPET!

Great Father's Day Gift Ideas at Walmart

Hey there.  Father's Day is near!  What have you picked up for your pops?  Nothing?  Oh man... No worries, I'm about to show you some pretty awesome stuff that you can pick up at your local Walmart for your dad!  But before getting into that, let me tell you of a time before iPad 2's and Blackberry tablets.  I'm talking about the 80's where a VCR was the main tech attraction.  You see, I was born in 1982 and I only had my dad for 9 short years before it was time for him to move on from this life.  I didn't get the chance to shower him with some of the awesome technology we have today.  Most of my gifts for dad included hand drawn cards and pasta encrusted creations.  Sincere, loving, and always from the heart.  It would have been cool to grab my dad a GPS navigator (we got lost a few times... I know that for a fact) or an awesome big screen TV for the big fight or game.  Even though he's no longer here, this Father's Day, I will be getting my pops a gift, it just won't be of the tech variety.  And kids... I know you're reading this.  Use this post as the "Unofficial Daddy's Wishlist".  lol

My New Mesh Polo Shirt from Lands' End and Giveaway

Hey!  I look good in blue!

Hey there.  You know what's great about an awesome polo shirt?  Besides the colors...  lol  It's the fact that they have this boyish charm that also conveys class.  You can go to a formal and nonformal event in a polo shirt and no one will think twice about it.  They're nice enough to wear at an evening party and they're good enough to wear during your stroll through the park.  You really can't go wrong with wearing a polo shirt!  But you can't go around wearing any old crummy polo shirt.  You definitely need to try on one the new mesh polo shirts from Lands' End.

Look for Extreme Discounts with Penny Auctions from Bidrack.com

Hey there.  We all like great deals, no?  I'm not the best at scoring deals but I know that I simply no longer pay full price for anything.  I always seem to find an online discount, coupon, or sale for pretty much anything.  I figure that a small discount is better than no discount.  But I'm tired of saving just a few bucks.  I want to save big on big ticket items.  Or at least have a chance to score something big at an insane discount.  That's where bidrack comes into play.
