Amazon Prime account, things ship in two days for free! I decided to get on-line when I got home and just check to see if the prices were any better than they were at the store. I was really surprised by how much less expensive things were. You also don’t have to pay sales tax, which saves you a ton on its own. They even have a cool feature where you can put items on auto-ship. That means they will ship you whatever you need on a time schedule with out you having to do anything. It sure saves me a lot of time and a lot of trips to the store!

Have you noticed that the days are getting longer? Spring is definitely here, no matter what the calendar says. One of the things that I dislike the most about winter is the shorter days and longer nights. Used to be that I had to take the trash to the curb in the dark – it didn’t matter if it was the night before the trash collectors came, or the morning of – my work schedule was such that it was dark in the winter both coming and going. Our long driveway doesn’t have lights so taking the trash out in the dark was/is a pain in the neck. And letting the dogs out at night I’d always wonder if there might be a skunk or a porcupine in the yard that they might go after. Yes, I like the longer days much better.

What product is the first one to come to your mind when someone tells you that they have just bought some luxury car seat covers? I don’t know about you, but the first thing that comes into my mind is sheepskin seat covers.

Having grown up wearing itchy scratchy wool, and being told that wool comes from sheep, I never would have thought that any sheepskin products would feel so terrific. But they really are soft, and add some cushioning to the seat that can really spoil you. In years past I have bought a variety of other kids of seat covers, trying to make the seat more comfortable, and to protect the seat from being ripped by kids and pets, but those have always been very utilitarian in nature. Now that the kids have grown, however, maybe the next time I’m in the market for a new seat cover I’ll take another look at sheepskin.

Over the past six weeks everyone at the house has been so busy that no one had the time or energy to take the decorations off of the Christmas tree and pack it all away. So today I woke up and resolved that if nothing else got done today, that Christmas tree was going to get undecorated and put in the box. Well, before I could do that I had to clear out some of the clutter that was piled up around the living room; I had to bring out the storage boxes. By the time the clutter was picked up I was exhausted!

Turned the television on in the hopes that I would be entertained somewhat while undecorating the tree. Found nothing on. How can we have over three hundred channels and find nothing interesting to watch? Something is wrong with that! Well, the tree is packed away, most of the decorations are packed away; there are a few stragglers that I need to chase down, but that can be done on a different day. At least now when people stop by the house they won’t be greeted by the fully decorated Christmas tree in the living room!

Bridget sent me a link to a company that sells double glazing windows as an example of a website that was probably done by someone who did not speak English as their native language. Although the reader does learn some information about the history of windows and what double glazing is, the website itself is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors.

Reading the website was almost painful; it made me wonder if the person who created it was an uneducated relative of the business owner and that maybe the business owner was trying to do the creator a favor by giving him a job. If that is the case, then that is all well and good but they really should have had someone who is educated proof read it.

In this highly competitive environment of the Internet, professional websites are essential if you are going to be marketing your product on the Internet. Although some people may think that a poorly done web page is better than nothing, I would have to disagree with that. My opinion is that you would be better off putting a small “under construction” sign with limited contact information up and then take the time to do the web site the right way.
