Dirt Devil Holiday Buying Guide

November 22nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Holiday Gift Ideas, Miscellaneous

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dirt Devil. All opinions are 100% mine.

Dirt Devil has created a helpful holiday buying guide for download on their website. There is a great list of Black Friday websites that will allow you to find the best deals around for Black Friday. I seriously think you need this holiday buying guide, especially because it’s completely free because it will assist you in getting more for your money as you head out or online to shop on Black Friday for your holiday gift giving needs.

Maybe Black Friday isn’t your thing? Well the Monday following is called Cyber Monday and Dirt Devil’s Holiday Buying Guide will show you some great websites for that special day as well. Dirt Devil really has put some effort forth in trying to help consumers save money this holiday season! Overall I was very satisfied with this holiday buying guide and am happy to share this free holiday buying guide from Dirt Devil with you.

There is also another day called Free Shipping Day where you can get free shipping and a promise for Christmas delivery, this happens on Thursday, December 17th and there are some free sites to show you where you may be able to find free shipping with online orders through out the holiday season!

There are over 300 ways to save by shopping online and one big reason I usually shop online is because you can search out discount codes, normally I will use Google search but the Dirt Devil Holiday Buying Guide shares a wide variety of sites you can visit to search for promo codes. It is recommended that while shopping online you open a new browser window, pop in the sites listed within the guide and search to find special discount codes. Shopping online can save not only time waiting in those long holiday checkout lines but save your wallet from being completely emptied.

Dirt Devil is offering some great holiday deals of their own from their Dirt Devil Junior Play 2 in 1 Vac to Dirt Devil Junior Play Vac. If you are looking for the perfect gift for your family Dirt Devil has some great deals going on right now, to include saving up to 40% shopping online!

Heart That Melt and Untitled

November 22nd, 2009 · 2 Comments · Brandy's Life

Today I share with you two poems I know the untitled one was written by mei n 1998 but I didn’t place a date on the Heart That Melt poem ..

Untitled

Close your eyes, go to sleep
Do not dare to sneak a peep
For I have crept into your bed
To rest my dizzy little head

Hold my close, pull me tight
I will dream of you all night
Kiss me gently, melt my heart
Swear that we will never part

When morning comes, hide my eyes
For I will have to go, big surprise
Spend a day way from you
But I will be back at quarter past two.

Friends Forever

November 21st, 2009 · 2 Comments · Brandy's Life

I am not sure where this poem came from other than inside my head when I was in 10th grade …. but I wanted to share with you some of my poems over the weekend and so here is my poem I called Friends Forever and yes it’s written by ME back in 10th grade, so I was about 17 then I believe …

Two lovely angels, as we were known
Similar yet different, still basically one
Two years flew by, our friendship had grown
So hard to accept that your living is done

Places to go and people to see
A motto we would commonly say
During our break we sat near the tree
Oh why was it you who passed away?

This is a time meant for mourning
So I sit by my bed and cry a while
Thinking of those days we would sing
And that rainy day we jogged a mile

I frown about the day you left
Yet smile about the memories in the past
The taking of your life was indeed a theft
As you watch over me, know that our friendship will forever last.

I can honestly say I don’t remember a situation or event that happened in real life, but I can tell you that most of my poetry was written during times of sadness. I was a different person back in those days, often sad, I hadn’t found my happy yet nor did I know how to focus on the positive. I can honestly say I am happy to be the person I am today, but remember we all couldn’t be the person we are today without the person we were yesterday!

Make it a Happy Day!
