Pinterest should be renamed to "Ijustspentthewholedaydoingnothing.com". I think that may have been too long so Pinterest was the runner up. I am not against Pinterest in any way, shape or form. In fact, I'm an avid pinner. I love pinning things and getting ideas for projects and motivation to work out and eat healthy. It's freaking amazing. Zach has been blessed with many a delicious dinner because I found something that looked mouth watering on Pinterest. After I make said delectable morsels that do cartwheels on my tongue, then I repin it saying that I tried it and it was amazing. Fact: I had a brunch a few weeks ago and everything I made was from Pinterest. Fact: this blog has taken me 10 times longer to write because I keep going back and forth between here and Pinterest. That's how much I love it. Also, the word fact. It is my word of the day.
I have noticed a lot of people don't do that. Try things before they pin them, you know. A lot of people don't even change the wording when they repin things. I see the same pins repinned from everyone who's friends with everyone else and they all say the same thing. I feel cheated by false advertisement because it says they have tried it...but then I go to the original pin and what's what the original pinner had to say about it. False advertisement. Isn't there a law or something?
By the way....the wooden spoon over boiling water to prevent it from boiling over, it doesn't work. Unless I wasn't doing it correctly, but seriously, how do you mess something up as easy as "Put a wooden spoon over a boiling pot of water,"? Unless I misunderstood the directions....which may have been the case because I don't read directions very thoroughly these days (I mean never do, ever). Also, laying newspaper down over your garden instead of burlap to prevent weeds because it's earth friendly...Did I not follow the directions for that one either? Worlds best cookies with a secret ingredient? I could totally taste the butter flavored Crisco, thank you. Homemade jewelry cleaner that will get even the dullest precious metals sparking again. Lemme give you a big ol NOPE!
There truly are a ton of great ideas on there though. I'm completely obsessed with it. I have plenty of projects that have turned out and I act all awesome because I did it without letting on that I used a step by step tutorial instead of pulling it out of my (insert choice nether region). I like to find all the things that tickle my fancy and make me giggle. Funny pictures, those ecards that seem to have one for every thought or thing that goes on in my life. Also, when I see that people are following a board, it makes me feel like a bad pinner if I don't pin things to it.
The pins I NEVER get tired of seeing are ones with my past future ex husband Ryan Gosling (Because you know, I'm a married woman now so he can't be in my future. We've talked about it and he says he understands). He always tells me "Hey girl, I like your (insert Crossfit thingy)." And you know what, I go back to the gym every day because he tells me he likes my kettle bell swings, my snatch and wall balls even though I'm not very good. I believe he also said something about six inches for seven minutes. I think he was referring to jumping up after burpees but I can't be for sure about it at this juncture. If that isn't positive reinforcement, I don't know what is.
