Just a short little thought from me: I love widgets! After seeing their potential on DZ's computer, I was once again wistfully longing for a new Mac laptop. My hopes were no longer needed, however, when I saw a link on the Yahoo! homepage. I could get widgets for my Windows laptop! (I got the one my sister had for the 1st two-and-a-half years of college.) About an hour later, I had all my favorite widgets downloaded and happily performing on my screen around a picture of our soccer team after winning our league! Here's the ones on my screen now:
Marysville weather (from tonight to Wednesday and the condition of the moon)
Analog clock (complete with a turquoise rim, a ticking secondhand, and the date)
To-do list (customized with my weekend homework)
Napoleon Dynamite *image that when clicked on, produces quotes (Flippin' Sweet!)
Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail * (swallows, coconuts, newts...)
Yoda * (who doesn't want to hear the little guy talk backwards?)
Darth Vader * (with classics such as "Luke, I am your father.")
Sun with the planets continuously rotating around it and on my screen
Google conversion calculator (i.e. 6 cups in liters)
Volume control (easier to change)
Yahoo! maps search (If I need directions or anything...)
Stock (My parents bought me some stock in Starbucks and Gap awhile back)
Digital clock (just in case I want to look at it instead of the other 2 clocks on my screen :))
Move times (for Regal in Marysville, Olympic in Arlington, and Loews in Alderwood)
Anyway, just a fun little addition to my computer and a nice, relaxing way to end Eagle Week. I was never upset about planning things this past week, which is a complete blessing! The only reason I cried at all was because I was so tired I couldn't think. The other time was due to realizing that my friends and I had been slacking so much on having integrity and focusing on God. All-in-all, a great, but tiring week!
Mostly I need to fulfill my responsibility to get all of the stuff in my car put away and to do my homework, but I'm definetely looking forward to spending time in fellowship at church tomorrow! I could use some refreshment and corporate worship time! :) I can't wait for Snow Retreat! I know God will answer my prayers to convict me where needed and give me a passion for Him and loving Him with everything I have!

Yahoo! widgets on a PC will never compare to what we've got over here on the Mac side. Stink! :-)
Hahaha... I knew that the one comment on here was going to be from SK... and I basically new what he was going to say. lol. And, unfortunately, I must agree with him. But, I have seen those yahoo widgets on my dad's machine and all I can say is at least they look like they belong on a mac :).
Of course I would still want a Mac more than anything, but the widgets help me to be more content ;)!
my goodness that is alot of cool widgets. even though I have no clue what 'widgets' are they sound cool.
