We’re embarking upon some of the most interesting and important times in U.S. history. I foresee Obama becoming the first Black president because of his personable and eloquent nature. But if you’re a McCain-Palin supporter, you’d better make sure your voice is heard during the election to stand a chance.

Don’t make like an ostrich and bury your head in the sand when it comes to your political beliefs. Let them be heard loud and clear…or at least read on a cool t-shirt from Zazzle. And yes, there are also some humorous, slandering tees in the bunch for those who can swallow sarcasm.

Do the prices give your wallet a lump in its throat? Then you had better get a move on and start redeeming the free Zazzle coupons. You’ll enjoy 15% off all election gear when you spend $40 or more until September 30!

September 17th – It was on this day in history in 1964 that Bewitched premiered on ABC-TV. I loooooved that show. I used to close my eyes and wiggle my nose as a child, trying to make things disappear…like the huge mess in my room that my mother would nag about. I still have the same problem as an adult though – my room seems so cluttered all the time. But, before the end of this month I’m gonna organize EVERYTHING! I’ve ordered some great products from Overstock that’ll have my room looking clean and polished in a jiffy. If you want to tackle the same type of project (whether it be your room, kitchen, laundry room, or garage), then I’ve got Overstock coupons for $10 off your purchase total of $150 or more. Find stylish ottomans that hide away magazines and more inside, gorgeous mini-shelves for all your knickknacks, and cool desktop organizers too!

1972 – M*A*S*H Premiers on NBC-TV – Okay, so my father is glued to this show even after all the years that it’s been off air. He’ll watch repeats whenever he can and laugh at the same things he’s laughed at a million times before.  For father’s day this year, I thought I’d really make him smile by ordering the M*A*S*H box set. I found the 36 DVD set at Sony Style for a great deal! You can find box sets, DVDs and more for less. And for an even steeper discount, redeem our free Sony Style coupons.

National Apple Dumpling Day – I can’t believe we’re approaching fall and FAST! I particularly like fall. It’s crisp, breezy and the colors are so rich and warm that it almost makes you want to curl up under a blanket and snooze. The other great thing about fall time is the food! Oh my…I can’t think of a better time of year for FOOD! Everything is so scrumptious, hearty and mmmm good! Just like today’s tasty treat…apple dumplings. I am a big fan of any apple dessert especially when it’s warm and topped with a dollop of whipped cream of vanilla ice cream. Now apple dumplings are a great alternative to the traditional apple pie because they’re like mini apples pies. If you don’t normally pick your own apples, I suggest you do…it’s LOADS of fun. So now that you have your apples, you’re ready to make these creations. Find a delectable recipe on Cooking.com, and I suggest you pick up a few essentials for the fall season…you might need it with all the occasions coming up!
