Challenge 6

I am a huge Stephenie Meyer fan(Thank you Catherine!) so I do frequently go to her site hoping to see a post saying BOOK #5 COMING SOON!!!!! HA HA
It has helped me keep up with the trailers and events on the upcoming Twilight movie, which I really want to see. This site also has pictures of different things from her books. Pictures of the different cars Edwards gotten Bella, and pictures of the actual town of Forks as well as a few other things. Very interesting!

Challenge 5

I have actually already tried listening to the playaways. When we first got them in I checked out Danielle Steel's Bungalow 2. The whole concept of having a book on a little MP3 player all ready to go is a wonderful idea but I personally am not big on listening to a book. I would much rather sit on the couch all rapped up in my warm blanket and read. It would be even better if I had a fire place to sit by. I never finished listening to the whole book but I think I will give it another try with a different book. Maybe while I'm on that dreaded treadmill later tonight.

Challenge 4

Well I finally got around to trying out pandora's radio. I think that is a great site! It lets you pick what you want to hear and keep the songs you don't like off your station. Kind of like an online Ipod! HA HA
Being a Country music fan my first choice was Josh Turner. I then got alot of other Country artists on my station as well. There were some new singers like Derks Bentley and Brad Paisley and some older singers like Jo Dee Messina. I liked all the other choices that they gave me and added them all to my station. I will defianetly be listening to this more often.

Challenge 3

I decided to look up information on the disease my aunt had Multiple Sclerosis. There are so many sites to look at but alot of them just state the same things. One site I really liked and had more on their site then most was
www.nationalmssociety.org

The next site I thought had a lot of information but wasn't quit as in depth as the first site was www.mayoclinic.com/health/multiple-sclerosis/DS0018

The one I liked the least that just seemed to repeat the same information over and over was www.answers.com/topic/multiple-sclerosis

The amount of sites and information you can find on the Web is so overwhelming it's impossible to be able to look at everything that comes up.

Challenge 2

I hate to admit this but I'm not real big on following politics. I like to find out the basics about each candidate and then I make my decision. I don't watch the debates and read everything in the Newspapers. Honestly I just don't have the time to follow all of it. With that being said I like the googlelabs "In Quotes" site. It gets straight to the point and it puts them side by side to make it easy and quick to find out what you want to know about each candidate.
