Somethings I Like

Today I feel like blogging about a few products that I like. 

1. Lean Cuisine Shrimp Alfredo:  While it could always use more shrimp, this is a very tasty meal with just the right amount of peas, pasta and broccoli!  Plus - it cooks in 5 minutes or so in the microwave!

2. Starbucks Gold Coast bold coffee:   I had a a cup of this today at my local Starbucks cafe and it is really good!  I judge Starbucks by the following criteria: Does this flavor give me heartburn?  Their Pike's coffee always gives me major heartburn every time I drink it!  I had about 1/2 of a Venti left and drank that iced with dinner.  MM MM Good!  (Used some french vanilla creamer in it!)

3. Cheap cereal and soda:  In the last few months my local Stop & Shop grocery store has started to carry a brand called Guaranteed Value with orange labels.  The cereals are $1 and the 3 liter sodas are also $1.  (Sodas are sometimes on sale for 89 cents!)  Cereal and diet sodas flavors are both limited but I love the Cocoa Krispy flavor cereal because you get chocolate milk at the end!

Thanks for reading - that's it for today!

Testing Something

After posting the previous entry I noticed that I lost my Ads (yes, the advertising) that were normally on the top and sides of the page.   In searching the help I have not found an answer or a fix to the problem.  As a test I thought I would try to include some content that used to generate some ads.  So here goes.,

As many of you know I love to cruise!  I saw a tv ad while online tonight for lxtv.com/celebritycruises where you could enter to win a cruise for 2!  So why not?  The prize is a cruise for 2 with airfare on a Celebrity ship to the Caribbean complete with their Aquaclass accommodations!  Yea!  Now, if I could only win as I feel I really deserve a vacation!  I have cruised with Celebrity once on the Galaxy to the Southern Caribbean! 

If you have a minute, check out my YouTube channel susan050359 to see some short videos showing you what you deserve.  You deserve a cruise!  Go anywhere in the world on any cruise line -Norwegian, Carnival, Celebrity, Princess, Cunard, etc.  But go!

Yes, I have joined Facebook!

Well, I finally decided to activate my Facebook account recently so I can see what Facebook can do for me.  So far I have 32 friends,  well probably half of them are relatives - does that count?  Also, I keep thinking of people I would like to find so I am adding requests everyday.  Now, I wait to see if they accept my friend request.  I heard from my very, very good friend Jennifer and have had fun catching up with a few e-mails.  We both lost our Moms in the last 6 months so we could commiserate together! 

Please send any topics you would like me to write about and I will try to respond with a few words.  I did try the "Like" feature on Facebook for a few things like Five Guys Burgers and Fries!  If you have one of these near you I know you visit frequently as they are the best burgers around!  Each burger is a double (unless you request a Little Burger) and they are always HOT (unlike other fast food restaurants) so the cheese melts beautifully.  Many condiments are available to tailor the burgers to your liking and the fries are fresh and not frozen potatoes!  They are on the expensive side but you get your money's worth!  The small order is too many of them to eat for one person!  Since liking them I see their Newsfeed showing that they are opening new restaurants it seems like on a daily basis!  So if you don't have one near you - just wait!  The Five Guys near me in Farmington, CT has one of these really new Coke beverage machines that can make like over 100 types of beverage!  The machine is connected to the Internet so as to allow for easy re-ordering of the syrups and flavors and to download new flavors.  Ever had Sprite with cherry or peach flavor?  Give it a try!

Thanks for reading - signing off for tonight!
