sixteen candles

I am not a fan.  I made the google home page, and found it really easy to customize and change.  BUT I couldn't find gadgets that I really wanted.  What do I want?  For one, I want updates on Texas football peeps- and there was none.  Second- I want news about Afghanistan, and once again there was none.  Apparently Americans have to be against a war to find out news.  So I'm still having to stick to translations from Polish articles.  Third, I currently have my home page set as my bank, and I love that.  Why?  Because I am compelled every time I open my browser to check out what bills have been processed what my savings are looking like and how I've been spending money.  I like having this ridiculous compulsion, it really helps me keep my finances in check.  Now, if there was a way to make a USAA gadget to add to my home page, that would be nice.

As far as online calendars and to-do lists....I am riding the fence.  I like writing things down and carrying it with me.  But I also have a 3 year old, also known as walking destruction, and many of my planners have been murdered via spilled juice.  So having a back up planner is nice, and a grocery list is too. Especially when I forget my list at home and want to go straight to the store after school.  This way I can just print it off in the lab.  And I think online to-do lists would be helpful for student projects.  This way, if they lose the directions they can take it upon themselves to go and print a new copy, and parents know what's going on and can help students easier.
