I decided today's post would be in answer to Julia's question "What are your top 5 websites and why?"
Well there were many ways I could go with this question. Top 5 in terms of:
- most frequent?
- all-time favorite?
- blogs?
I'll go with my top 5 most frequently visited websites. So aside from intranet pages at work, here are the five sites I visit the most on a daily basis:
1. My bank. For the last 2 years or so I've been on a tight budget. And got burned way too many times with bouncing checks/debit transactions so I have become super-balanced-account woman lately. It's almost an obsession. It's become much easier to track finances since I've had no credit cards for the past year. But that's a story for a different day.
2. The website of the volleyball place where I play and work. (I prefer not to list the URL for this one.... trying to keep some anonymity!) Though I haven't been playing lately, nor working, I still check out the league standings, schedules for friends, tournament schedules, photos, etc.
3. Google reader. This is where I can track all of my favorite blogs (Except you PnF! Or have I missed the RSS feed?) It's quite a handy little tool. Though I'm sure Google is gathering information about me that I wish they didn't. But yes, I check it periodically throughout the day to find nuggets of wisdom. And the latest news on Britney & DWTS. And lolcats.
4. The Rochester daily paper. I've just gotten into the habit of checking out the news throughout the day. But don't get me wrong - when the finances pick up again, I will resubscribe to newspaper delivery. Nothing better than a Sunday morning with the newspaper and a warm cup of coffee.
5. Stuck in the '80s. Yes, I admit I'm stuck in the '80s. Hopefully my style isn't anymore, but my music taste is, for sure. I'm a little too excited for an upcoming wine tour I'm attending mostly because it has an '80s theme. That's happening at the end of the month. I'm sure I'll share some bitchin pictures from the event.
5 1/2. And when in season, Lost Pop Candy. Not only do I read all the comments of the recent Lost episode, but she posts some other cool tidbits in there too. It's killing me that I can't look at it today because I didn't watch last night's episode yet. I was SO excited to see it because last week's was so good. WTF is up with Claire??? Anyways, I fell asleep last night before the show started, so I am running home after work to watch it on Tivo.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
