Dear diary, I know what I want for my birthday. Greased Lightning: Orange Blast. I've had the pleasure of using this cleaner along side Fantastik with "OxyPower" and the difference is night and day. In all seriousness, Orange Blast is the only household cleaner I think anyone could ever need. The solution is so powerful, they suggest (for most purposes) that you dilute it. Without added water, it cleans just about anything. The reason I'm so impressed, is because I tried cleaning some brown stains out of the carpet that were there since we moved in with the Fantastik cleaner, I followed the directions, but didn't have much luck getting the spots out. I tried a second round of the Orange Blast directly on the spot, let it soak for a few seconds, and wiped away with a damp wash cloth. Success. All of the noticeable stains are completely gone.

Today Brooke and I spent most of our time signing up for contests and sweepstakes. We figure, if no purchase is necessary, the more we sign up for the, greater our chances of winning something (anything!) for free. Our diligence paid off already. Today Brooke one a movie ticket, a candy bar, and a Flip Video "Ultra" camcorder (MSRP: $150). Not too shabby. The bigger sweepstakes end around June 30th, so we'll see if we win anything else by then :).
