Bookmarks

As I was surfing the Web the other day I was reviewing the Web sites that I have bookmarked on my computer. On Mac computers they are so conveniently displayed at the top of the page when you're online (I am partial to Mac computers as some of you probably already know). I thought about how many times a day I use these handy buttons and what the Web sites I have chosen to bookmark reveal about me and my personality.

Some of my bookmarks sit there unused - reminding me of people, places, or things Sam and I need to do (i.e., US Swedish Embassy home page). Others are out of necessity - a Web page buried so deep in cyberspace that it takes a phone call to the site administrator to find what I'm looking for (NCU faculty e-mail login page).

Here is my list of bookmarked Web sites and why I chose to bookmark them:

(In no particular order, names customized by me)

1. My blog - For obvious reasons, I plan on accessing this one a lot!

2. Jeanette's Blog - My sister-in-law moved to California recently and started a blog to keep family and friends updated on her happenings; haven't seen a new post there in a while. What's up Jeanette?

3. Kenosha First Assembly - So I can listen to my dad's sermons online; just seeing this one makes me think of my family and puts a smile on my face.

4. LLLI Resouces - (La Leche League International) I'm a breastfeeding mother; I am bound to have questions about how this thing works!

5. Gap - Come on. Anyone who's known me for more than 2 weeks knows this is my favorite clothing store. I like to browse in my spare time. Funny, no matter how busy I am I always seem to have "spare time" for gap.com!

6. US Swedish Embassy - I originally bookmarked this one because we needed to find out how to renew Sam's Swedish passport. Turns out that we have to take a trip to D.C., New York, or L.A. sometime in the future. Who knew? Now that we do know, I just keep it up there for reference and it reminds me of my family in Sweden.

7. Dad's blog - My blog-spiration. My dad writes a new post almost every day and they are definitely worth checking out (http://www.pksblogplace.blogspot.com/).

8. NCU Email - Like I said earlier, to try to find this page is like digging for a needle in a haystack.

9. Craigslist - Need I say more? I am a Craigslist-aholic! We have found furniture, iPhones, apartments and much more on this Web site. I like to look at real estate in Manhattan and Chicago for fun. Maybe it's a secret dream of mine to live in a major city someday. (Not so secret anymore! And no, Minneapolis does not count.)

10. Facebook - In this day and age, I need to keep up with the world. A girl's gotta have her Facebook easily accessible.

I know it's a random post today, but this is what was on my mind. And after all, it is MY blog. :)
