Money. It's not quite a drag.

This is a sponsored-ish post.

You know how you go to a conference and you think, "Hey, I should really start making some money from this blog thing so I can do all those cool things like get someone to make a pretty cool design or even just get off of Blogger"?  You know that feeling?  I have that feeling.

Which is why I have capitulated.

To an extent.

I'm doing this promo thing during the month of August where you can buy Proctor & Gamble merchandise via a link on my blog and you get a deal and I get a few bucks.

Don't you want me to make money, like a good American? ARE YOU A COMMUNIST?

I had my options of things to talk about and I picked the Swiffer Wet Jet. Can you even guess why? BECAUSE I LIKE CLEAN, THAT'S WHY.

Actually, I like when things ARE clean, and particularly when the husband does the cleaning. Actually, I particularly love it when my mom does the cleaning, but she's not always available and sometimes I feel bad about asking my mother to clean my house. Not that she wouldn't [and with toxic chemicals normally reserved for HazMat clean-up], but because I am almost 44 goddamn years old [BIRTHDAY ON MONDAY, BITCHES] and I should probably not rely on my mommy so much.

Anyway, so when the husband does the floors - hardwood and ceramic tile and linoleum - he uses the Swiffer Wet Jet Starter Kit.  It's actually pretty awesome, and if I ever were able to get over my crippling distaste for manual labor, I would use it, too.  The husband does a great job on the floors, and they actually look really nice for a while. If he'd do them every day, I'd be even happier, but he keeps talking about stuff like, "I have an actual job, you know," and "Writing is not the same as cleaning the floors, so stop acting like you're doing stuff." Which, whatever.

So, in sum, your purchasing power can be harnessed here. You can clickety-click through here to get to the Proctor & Gamble site:

And order all the things you'd buy at the store from the comfort of your very own house.  You don't even have to get up.  DO YOU SEE HOW EASY I MADE THIS FOR YOU?

There's all sorts of good stuff - including:

• 10% off all items now through August 31, 2012
• Free shipping over $25
• Lots of great Olympic-themed bundles and deals

And I get some sweet, sweet commission.  Everybody wins, just like they should.

Let me know if you think you'll be ordering - do you order stuff like this online?

You can also call me a sell-out.  That's fine.
