There are a few websites that I just can't give up. They have different purposes; some make me smile, or think, or learn, whatever their function I just can't (haven't actually tried) give them up.
1. Facebook - Now I've gone months without checking this most addictive website, but I can't get rid of it completely, its basically my dominant email address now. I like status updates and pictures and I have fun cyber stalking people. I did give up all my FB games because I was spending too much time on it, I think that's good enough.
2. Pinterest - It makes me so happy, it inspires me, I love pinning, repinning, liking. Its awesome. I have in the past made real life pin boards but the virtual ones are easier and cheaper, and less time consuming, (or at least I tell myself they are).
3. YouTube - my favorite, favorite channel is Geek and Sundry! I am still sort of learning channels and looking for other good ones to follow, but overall I know I can count on You Tube to have the music video I want to see, or a season of America's Next Top Model that I can watch while I'm sick in bed.
4. Netflix - Ok, I have to admit that this might not actually be a website... but I watch Netflix on my computer and kindle mostly so its web based. Hello, TV on demand. So bad for me, but I love it. I can say I try to have at least one show on Netflix at a time that I will not allow myself to watch unless I'm watching while exercising. I should also mention I haven't seen an episode of Scrubs for more than a month now. Drat.
5. Sevenly - This is my newest obsession. It is a website that does cause t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags and so on. Each week they have a new cause and they sell the goods for the week giving a share of the profit to the organization that are building awareness for during the week. It increases both funding and awareness for the organization. So awesome!
6. Etsy - Someday I think I may open my own etsy shop but until that time I really like seeing both the amazing and possible things people try to sell on this lovely little website. Talk about inspiration!
7. Amazon.com - I would buy everything in my life from this website for free two day shipping if I could get away with it. I am in LOVE with the new Kindle Owner's Lending Library. I am in LOVE with free books and music. And I am in LOVE with the Cloud. Not to mention that I can store my wish list, organize the gifts that people want or that I have purchased for them, and that I can buy just about everything I want/need. Have I ever told you that they sell Turkish Delight, the good kind? Cause they do!
8. Google - Remember when you had a question and you'd have to talk to people or open an encyclopedia, my (future hypothetical) kids won't! Oh Google, I love it when they have "special days" and I learn new things, I love that I can ask it anything I want. Not to even mention Google Maps, Google Earth, Google Reader, Gmail, G+, etc.
9. Remax - I know this is a little weird, but I love looking at houses. Floor plans, decorations, I find it all interesting and information regarding my future home buying information.
10. TED Talks - So challenging, so interesting, so much to learn to grow from and enjoy.
So just a little more insight into the mind of me!
