About a month ago I kept seeing posts from my friends on Facebook about this website Pinterest. I thought to myself Pinterest what is that? Well I really don't want to know because it's probably just another site that will keep me glued to my computer. I mean I'm already neglecting this blog, I haven't checked my e-mail in weeks, and I have a mile long list of sites to "check out". I fell like I just spend so much time online and I've been wanting to curtail my Internet time. When I do go online it's to do things like check my bank account, pay my bills, and scan through my e-mail for important messages. I feel like I need more real world time and less digital world time, I'm probably not alone. We are so digital these days and granted it does make things easier but I sort of miss things like real letters and talking on the phone, only sort of though. The other part of me realizes how convenient the Internet makes my life.
I kept seeing the posts about Pinterest and decided OK I want to see what this is all about. Wow it is so cool! It is all of the things I find on the Internet that I like but, I don't want to print them out, or write them down because overall I really want to reduce clutter! Pinterest is so appealing to me because its my own board where I "pin" pictures from websites onto a neatly organized page and the pictures are actually a hyperlink that takes you back to the original site. How cool is that! I'm trying not to get carried away with the things I post but overall it's nice to have a little organization in my life. I'm not sure if there is a limit to the number of boards you can create but so far I have 11 boards. They are:
1. Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle Workout ~ Pins of fitness related stuff and some inspirational quotes like "A one hour work out is 4% of your day no excuses". That would actually be something I might put on my mirror in the bathroom to help motivate (or guilt) me into working out. I'm not a workout freak but staying healthy is important to me because of some family health issues. Another quote I like is "No matter how slow you go you are still lapping everybody on the couch".
2. My geekyness ~ Just a board of things I geek out about, mostly Star Wars stuff :) and some crafty stuff.
3. Ideas for my next home ~ Self explanatory really. I'd like to have a beach themed house so this is place for those ideas to gather.
4. Getting Crafty ~ Things I'd like to make when I have some free time....
5. Eat, Drink and be Merry! ~ Recipes I want to try.
6. Style ~ I've been struggling with what is my style lately (clothing). This is where I post pictures of outfits or articles of clothing I actually like.
7. Girl Scout Days ~ Some songs and other things from when I was a Girl Scout. Someday when I have daughters I will be a Girl Scout Leader so I want to remember these things.
8. Tattoos ~ Designs I like but I will probably never get...
9. My Wedding 10/31/10 ~ A lot of the posts I saw about Pinterest were wedding ideas for some of my friends who are getting married this year. I wanted to share some pictures of my wedding because I don't mind if someone copies something I did. Most of my planning were things I discovered from other brides.
10. Make life easier! ~ Tips and techniques for everyday household things to make things easier.
11. Back to the Future ~ Fun baby things I've found. Not planning on having a kid soon but someday and these satisfy my urges for now :) This woman's clock it out of control!
All in all I'm glad I found Pinterest, no only if I could stop checking Facebook like 50 times a day!
Originally a blog about my wedding planning, that was 5 years ago. I recently became inspired to start blogging again. I'll see where my adventure takes me.
