Meet new people

Now that I am trying to get settled in one place without the prospect moving around every few years, I realize I need to meet people.  This is not as easy as it sounds since I have two toddlers. It is not like I can just go to the clubs like I used to when I was younger.  Now, I would like to meet a different sort of folk that I have more in common with and would not be nervous to bring my kids around.  I get this with http://www.meetup.com/. You can search based on topic or zip code.  Basically, you meet people (who are interested in the same things you are) in public arenas.  This is good for me because now I can meet people in my area with children the same age.

Oh, Forgetful Me!

My life is pretty busy and just downright crazy!!! It just seems more and more is getting piled onto my plate.  Due to all of this I can not retain anything to memory. I write things down to remind me and end up losing the paper. Or would file the thought completely out of my mind so I would not remember to look at the paper at all. Due to this I found http://www.ohdontforget.com/.  I put in my cell number, the date and time I want a notice to be sent, and the message. I have the messages sent a day before so I have time to prepare. It is great reminder for appointments or simple things I just need to get done.

Fitness

Since joining the military I have turned my life around and now want to eat healthy and stay in shape.  Problems I was having was the fact that my life is very hectic with switching from active duty to reserves.  I, also, have three small children to take care of.  It is hard to fit a full workout in during the day. I was getting bored of eating the same old food every night, and don't have time to constantly surf for new recipes.  I found a website that sends updates straight to my email.  It sends healthy recipes and snacks, as well as, different exercises to work different areas.  The great thing is they dont take long and some I can do them throughout the day. http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/ has been a gem for me and my goal of staying healthy.  Plus, the email alerts and website do not build clutter of the actual magazine.  Anything I want to keep I just put it in a folder. And I dont pay anything!

Fail

The people that brought us http://www.lolcats.com/ has another hilarious website.  Since my life is in turmoil right now, it is nice to know I am not a complete imbecile that racks up epic fails.  You know when someone is a complete moron and screws up you yell, "Fail!" This website is dedicated to showing pictures and videos of all the fails people have committed.  If you need a good laugh or to feel better about yourself then definately check this one out http://www.failblog.org/. It even has as a subheading, "helping you feel better about yourself every day." 
Also, along the upper tabs you can choose http://www.failbook.failblog.org/ which shows some the ridiculous things people post on facebook.  Also, http://www.learnfrommyfail.failblog.org/ a guy writes about his fails in life so others may learn.  This website definately helped me to get out of a rotten mood.

Chatroulette

I have heard a few different people comment on http://www.chatroulette.woome.com/. This is a website that allows you to chat with anyone around the world via webcam, audio, and/or text.  You click on the spin icon and it stops on a random person.  You can choose to talk with them or you can spin again. At any point during the conversation you can choose to leave the conversation and move on to another. 
It is interesting to meet new people and see what kind of whack-jobs are out there.  You can actually have some hilarious conversations with people. Of course, you always have to tread lightly. As with any chat room conversations can become more sexual in nature, but if you dont want to continue with the person you just spin again.
