Aloha Friday #113

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

My question is:

What’s the first thing you do when you log on to your computer?

    I open three windows.
    The first always has to be gmail.
    The second always has to be my blog, Simply Cathi.
    The third is An Island Life.
    From there it’s FB and other things.
    They have to be in that order though or
    I have to close them and start over. LOL!!

  44. Hillary says:

    I check the weather forecast first. Then my email, then the news, then Facebook. If I don’t do it in that order, I’ll never get off of FB long enough to check everything else!

  45. I usually go straight to Facebook. I teach Bible studies to MOMS and Facebook has allowed me to stay connected with MOMS from all other the world!! So I love to read what is going on in their lives. As a mom of adult children, it keeps me “in tune” with the struggles, the successes, the fears, and the hopes of moms who are still in the trenches.

    I am very late signing in, but . . . what can I say-life just keeps happening!

    Blessings and may you have a glorious Christmas season!

    I’m late because I read your blog in a feedreader . . .

    I don’t “log on” to my desktop. It is always on. (Is that sad?) I record tv programs on it, so it has to stay on at all times. I do log onto my laptops, of course, because they are turned off and stored in my briefcases when I’m not using them.

    The first thing I usually do when I sit down in front of any computer is read emails, both personal and professional. The next thing I do depends on what I’m interested in at the moment. I might check to make sure a tv program recorded if I am anxious to watch it, read the local newspaper online, or read what’s happening with my friends on Facebook.
