I love camping. We’ve only been once this year. I do so many dog things anymore that I don’t have much time for a weekend of camping, and I really need to make the time because I love it so much. And I’m always looking for good camping gear, I love to buy camping gear! Heh, I just love to buy things. wall tents are great to have camping, when we did astronomy a friend had one, kept it heated, and it was a great place to go.
Outfitter Wearehouse is a website to buy great camping gear. They are easy to navigate, and you can find lots of tents and stoves, as well as accessories for both. Our trailer has a stove with, but a friend of ours has a nice big stove that he sets up during flyball tournaments, and cooks everyone breakfast. It’s great. We should get one of those since we like to cook too. Well, the husband likes to cook, and it’s fun to provide breakfast for our camping partners!
Outfitter Wearehouse also has Product Guides for tents, wood camp stoves, stove care tips, and more. So if you are looking for a great place to find information about stoves and tents, you might just want to check them out!

Bahahaa.. so, do you flirt? I like to flirt, and still do it sometimes even though I’m married. It’s kinda fun and the husband doesn’t mind. Plus, I think it’s cute when he flirts as well. Makes us feel good about ourselves, I think. And that is a bonus. We are married, not dead, you know! Going on now is the Extreme Style by VO5 flirting contest… so if you want to join up, go and have a look and have some fun!

Me, I often flirt with my dogs! LOL and this is a fun flirting look that I give to Muffit. He likes to lick, and I like to oogle with him, and so this is what we do!
What other kinds of flirting are there, which are non-verbal? Well, there is the touch, of course. A casual touch to the arm or shoulder or hand, that you wouldn’t really give to anyone normally, but you will do with someone you are flirting with. There’s footsies under the table, but that is a little bit much for me! What kinds of flirting do you do?

Anyway, so have some fun flirting, and feel free to sign up for the flirting contest too! You might even win, and that’d be awesome!

Yeah I know, I know… I am stressed, and I don’t know how long it’ll last, so I needed a break and I headed off to the Vista Print site and had a look at their Self Inking Stamps, which are very cool. I recently bought business cards for my flyball team from Vista Print. They did a good job though there’s a rim of white around the color, which I’m going to have to have a closer look at next time I decide on getting cards from them.
They have coupons right now that you can use… for the stamps: Stamps50 - 50% Off Small Rubber Stamps, which is a great idea. I’d love to get some of these for the flyball team, too. I love self iking stamps and I’d love to stamp everything and everyone on the forehead with a stamp… LOL, but people don’t usually like that too much.
I haven’t been in much of a blogging or working mood for the last couple of days, just in a surfing mood and a reading mood. So really if you want good quality merchandise with your logo on it, Vista Print really is a good company. I have bought from them before, and I plan to buy from them again.

I’ve wanted a hot tub for as long as I can remember. We could put one in our back yard… it’d actually be great to remodel the back yard and make a nice gazebo with a hot tub, get some nice hot tub accessories, and fix up the yard.
We have the room, really, so maybe we will! A friend of mine has a really nice spa in her back yard. It’s under their deck and they keep it running all year round. It’s nice to go and visit and sit in their hot tub!
If I were to get a hot tub, I’d love to have a SpaScenes. They totally transform the look and feel of the spa. They are a landscape cover that goes on the inside of the spa cover. So when you fold it up, it’s a gorgeous scene that really ads to the hot tub experience.
They are easy to install and don’t need any special tools or experience. They are water and chemical proof, and they are very affordable too! Click on the link above to go and have a look at them. Better to see them than just read about them!

Okay.. my cruise isn’t until October, but I’m starting to get excited! And really it’s only three months away now. I have to go get recertified for scuba diving as I have a scuba dive planned in Grand Cayman. I have always wanted to go to the Cayman Islands so I’m pretty excited about it.
I’m flying into Tampa with some friends, and we might need a car rental once we get there. I always am looking for the best deal on car rentals, as it’s not my most favorite part of the trip. Advantage has some specials on Luxury and Convertable Car rentals. Up to 50%. But I don’t like convertibles… ever since my second rollover I’m afraid because there is no hard shell over my head.
I gotta get that scuba going, and get my Harry Potter Robes cleaned as I’ll be there over Halloween!

I think this is kinda odd… once in a while I’ll blog for Pay Per Post… which is a subsidiary of Izea, a social media advertising company. And they have asked me to blog about Pay Per Post… www.payperpost.com, which I think is odd because they recently started Social Spark, their new company, and I thought PPP was on it’s way out?
Maybe not.
I hope not. I like Pay Per Post better. The layout is great, it’s easy to navigate, and they need advertisers! I wish they would have more dog and animal advertisers. And when they do, I wish I could snag them. Because I know a lot about dogs and dog health and dog training.
Izea offers bog sponsorship (which I personally don’t like because it has an entire page that loads before your blog does… hrm…) but it also offers blog posts (like this one) and product sampling. Now the product sampling is one of the best things, in my humble opinion… because I love to get and try out products, and then post about them!
So if you are an advertiser and are looking for a good way to get your product noticed, check out Izea and Pay Per Post! You might like what you find.

Dangit, the left click button on my mouse is being flaky. When I forget about it, I keep clicking and I wonder why my laptop has locked up! Especially since I just reinstalled Vista on the darn thing. I have to remember that no… it’s my mouse. But I really don’t like the touchpad and so I’m suffering through the mouse for a while.
I’ve been restoring backups of my pictures from the last few years. I’d post more, but I don’t know if you’d really relate to the old pictures like I do.
I’m just so glad I have reliable hosting and good backups! If I were to get shared hosting again, I’d be checking out Web Hosting Geeks because they have independent reviews and lists of good cheap web hosts. And charts and comparisons are my favorites, because I like to be able to compare packages. That is a very useful thing in a website and I recently used something similar in order to pick a photo gallery for my web cam page.
Maybe I’ll post more old photos anyway… because I like them! And I love to reminisce.

I drive a lot to do my dog sports with my dogs… unfortunately gas prices are having an effect on us. Are they having an effect on you? I’ve heard that in smaller towns people are going into serious debt because they can’t afford to pay their bills and the gas prices at the same time.
Some people are even in danger of losing their homes.
Even school kids are needing help getting to and from school, and the program Divide The Ride can help out. They match you up with people who can drive kids to school. And they match you with people you know so you don’t have to worry about sending your kids off with strangers.
The world is too dangerous anymore, so being with people you know and trust is very important. This service has been on the news, too… the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. It is an interesting service!

I am very supportive of the wonders and amazing things that stem sells have the potential for. I’m not pregnant myself, but I had to post about this cool service out there that will store your baby’s umbilical cord, and the associated stem cells, in case they are needed at a future time. The Cryo-Cell Innovative Stem Cell Solutions provides this service and what an amazing idea it is.
Their Cryo-Cell’s "Protect Baby, Protect Mom" service will allow for the storage of the cord and the stem cells for potential use against disease in the future. And with medical technology growing by leaps and bounds, these cells could become invaluable.
They also have a "Protect Baby, Protect Mom" Special Limited-Time Introductory Offer, so if you are planning on delivering in the near future you may want to check them out!

I spent a lot of time last weekend cleaning the house. Ugh. I really don’t like to clean… but having six dogs (soon to be seven, a foster is coming back today ugh), we really do need to clean a lot. And not only clean, but vacuum and dust and mop the floors. And with our collie Lucy regurgitating lately, we should really clean even more than we do.
So I’ve been looking at Dirt Devil vacuums, and I really love the idea of a cordless vac. That way I can take it from room to room and vacuum up all the dog hair and fluff balls in the corners that end up floating around the house. We may have smooth collies instead of rough, but they sure do shed. And I’d love to have an Energy Star compliant vac! Which the Dirt Devil AccuCharge is!
So now I can chase after those darn fur-bunnies… or dust-bunnies if you will, that are running rampant all over the house, and suck them up in a Dirt Devil! Because you know, those darn fur-bunnies move pretty fast. Especially when a dog carries them around… but then again, our dogs don’t usually grab them and run with them, fortunately! Instead they kinda hide in the corners and just sit there. lol
