time wasters!

Well, friends, I am officially--as of last night--finished with my semester of class and work at Grand Valley. That puts me at one (1) full time job! woohoo! plus a small contract, but that's not as big of a deal.

So what am I going to do with all my new-found free time? well, I'm rediscovering my love for cooking and baking [just in time for Christmas, I might add]; I'm planning on starting P90X on Monday; and, of course, I'm going to return to wasting the perquisite amount of time on the internet. I have to know what's going on in the world, ya know.

Here's a list of my favorite sites in no particular order:
1. salon.com--highbrow news, of a sort. the kind you can tell your friends you read about. for example, under tech, the winning tweet of the week: "In honor of oil-soaked birds, 'tweets' are now 'gurgles.'"
2. wired.com--techie stuff, good for knowing what's going on at work. the blogs are especially fun--that's the best way to learn about new gadgets & sites like this [http://www.teachparentstech.org/] that are super useful for sending to grandparents.
3. thenest.com--shhh, guilty pleasure. lots of good pets information on the boards, though.
4. facebook.com--no description necessary.
5. dearblankpleaseblank.com--check it out, it's hilarious. e.g.

Dear Windshield Wipers,

Can't touch this.

Sincerely, That Little Triangle.

6. cuteoverload.com--the name says it all.

have fun wasting time!
