How 'bout them Cowboys!This is a great time to get excited about football and Cowboys.  Out guest blogger Shane Hobbs shares his advice on a worry-free season!

There'southward a distinct alter in the air, a shift from the long dog days of summertime to the libation autumn season. All over town, school floors are being swept, buffed and shined, windows wiped and fingerprint-free, teachers are cutting, pasting and preparing themselves for the busy upcoming year. The more observant might notice leaves that are simply starting to bear witness hints of fall, their edges streaked with gold and rust. In the mornings when your pick up your newspaper from the edge of your driveway, yous feel the slightest breath of arctic in the air. You shiver with excitement because yous know what that means; that'south correct. Football game, namely Dallas Cowboys football game.

Y'all're non but a regular fan; you bleed blue and silvery, and have a private altar with a photo of Tom Landry, flanked with candles. You named your sons Dallas, Troy and Roger. This year you're planning a slap-up kick-off party to really get the flavour rolling. But you still want to continue your house intact, remember what happened last year? That'due south right, when the Cowboys didn't brand the playoffs, in a fit of rage your husband threw the remote into your Dallas Cowboys helmet bean dip holder, spilling the contents all over your oriental rug. You scrubbed for hours, but the stain kept coming dorsum. This was no ordinary rug; you lot purchased it in Marrakesh when you and your husband celebrated your fifteenth wedding ceremony. You personally picked out the pattern and colour-scheme (blueish, silver, white and a giant navy star in the center) and even watched the women in wonder as they weaved their fingers in that timeless and ancient rhythm. No 1 at home will accept one of these, y'all thought and of course, no one does, so every time you spy that bean dip blight, information technology fills y'all with a sinking pit in your tum.

This twelvemonth you lot ™ve got a better plan; dissimilar carpets, oriental rugs can be rolled upward to be taken to a professional cleaning service. Some companies will provide free pickup and commitment for their customers, something that definitely appeals to you. Recall you ™ve got all the boys in the back of the car with their football pads and gear, plus your golden retriever, Jimmy J, so trying to clasp that giant carpet in would be quite a feat. Since yous and your husband fabricated such a giant investment in your carpeting purchase, yous want to keep it as squeamish as the day it arrived. And that's the mode it looks correct now. They delivered the rug yesterday and that nagging dark-brown smudge has been successfully eliminated from the center of the star, your eyes moisten with tears, it's perfect. After spending the weekend chopping, prepping, cooking and cleaning, you're finally ready for your guests. All of your boys are donned in their jerseys, fifty-fifty Jimmy J is wearing his customary Cowboys handkerchief around his cervix. You check the mirror before yous reply the door for the start of your many guests, your confront stares back; navy and silverish confront paint with your signature stars on each cheek.

Y'all're ready, bean dip; beware!
