I was looking at the furniturefromhome.com website, and was checking out the dining room furniture for sale page, the bedroom furniture page, and the Home office furniture page. Although the colors of the website are pretty, there is something about the color font against the background color that simply makes it hard to read the words that are there. It might be easier to read if the font was bigger. I’d also like the pages better if there were fewer, but larger pictures of the dining room furniture. It is a little overwhelming to see so many little pictures. I can’t see any of them well enough to be interested in clicking on any of them to learn more about the product. The difficulty I am having seeing the words and the pictures makes the entire website difficult to use.

What’s cooking tonight!
Well I was the first one home from work tonight, so it’s up to me to cook supper. I wonder if everyone else stayed late at work just to avoid cooking? Hmmmm…… Probably!
Oh well, I found a package of cheese tortellini in the pantry, some fruit salad in the freezer (I’m thawing it fast!) and some garlic/cheese texas toast in the freezer.
Got everything started, set the table, and have a few minutes to sit at the computer, so here I am! I AM wondering why people are not starting to arrive, they are not usually this late!
Oh well, it will be ready in about five minutes, I’ll keep it warm a little while and then I’m going to dig in and eat! I’m hungry!
Buying a used car
I’m trying to help my son buy a new second-hand car. He recently got laid off from work, and his car has just up and died on him last week. We determined that it is not worth repairing; it will cost less money to buy a used car that is in better shape that actually runs! We’ve been pouring money into that rattle-trap for years, and it is time to stop throwing good money after bad.
I was telling my British cousin that we are looking at a couple of different used cars. She had recently bought a used car herself, and she started giving me some pretty good advice about buying a second-hand car.
She suggested that I check out a website called BuyYourCar that she used to help her figure out exactly which car make and model she wanted to buy, which is an important first step. So I have just been checking out that website. The website has a great car review page that gives a lot of valuable information about different specifications and features that many different cars have. I found it interesting that it also offers the background and history of the different car manufacturers!
Muffins
I like Little Debbie snacks. Not all of them, but most of them. OK, now that I think about it, I can’t remember ever trying one I DIDN’T like! Just recently I saw a package of Little Debbie cranberry & orange flavored muffins. I really can’t remember ever seeing Little Debbie muffins before, but to be honest I’ve avoided that aisle in the store a lot, trying to lose weight!
Anyway, I was looking for some of those “healthy” snack types of things, you know, those “100 calorie” packages of snacks, and I found these cranberry & orange muffins. Well, that happens to be my favorite muffin flavor, and I have not eaten one of those in about a year or so, I just HAD to buy it!
The muffins were small, but that is a good thing because I found that I was satisfied eating only one. They were individually wrapped, which made it convenient for me to grab and toss in my bag to take to work.
I probably would have felt guilty eating a larger one because of the calories and fat, etc in any kind of muffin! It tasted very good, it was moist and just about perfect for a late morning snack. I’ll be buying more of those!
I just went to their website and found that they were promoting these exact muffins, with a printable 75 cent coupon!
