G is for Google!


I just love Google!
I use it every day! Really, I think I do!

Recently I have solved a major Wii problem with the help of Google.
I have also repaired the garbage disposal.
I found out how to fold a jogging stroller...and print the user manual...so I could sell it on Craig's list.
I have searched the volleyball rosters for short college volleyball players...to encourage my daughter.
I have found the lyrics to songs that my children sing in the car.
I have found great images to use for blog posts and school projects.
I have found recipes for making chicken wings...I haven't tried them yet.
I have been successful (sometimes) in finding info needed to self diagnose myself and my children.
And Google maps has recently won out over Mapquest for our directions..in case my GPS has issues. 
The list goes on and on.

I mean you can just type in a few words like..."Wii won't power on"
and within seconds...you have a list of possible places to find the help you need.
And then...Bam....It's MLB Baseball on the Wii....again!

I also love the way the word "Google" is displayed differently from time to time.... Don't you?
Who is the lucky one that gets to decide...and what are the artists like...where do they get those great ideas?
I mean....



What do you Google?
~and what did we do before Google?
Hmmmm...


It's alphabe-Thursday again...and today we honor the letter "G."

  2. What I like about Google is you can type ANYTHING in that little box and get..."Did you mean"....and there are pages of stuff that you meant or never dreamed that you meant! Great G word! I do like the way they change the Logo to fit the season.

    over our time we've googled *how to remove red wine* which was spilt on gorgeous neutral matting in a beach house rental....

  15. Google is awesome - I can't even remember what I used before we had access to it! I love that I can find anything on there - even answers to the most random questions. Just the other day, The Hubs and I were having a discussion about something we didn't know the answer to and in unison, we both said: "We should Google that." Ha!
