What
is Pinterest? In case you live under a rock and haven’t heard of Pinterest; it is part idea generator, part art show and part
urban legend spinner all wrapped into one nifty cool place on the interwebs.
Need
a recipe? Check Pinterest. Need a decorating idea? Check Pinterest. Need to
feel a sense of self-loathing when you realize you aren’t nearly as creative as
you thought you were? Well, I can get that almost anywhere, but peeking in on
Pinterest is a great start.
I
have pin boards full of crap that I will probably never actually attempt to
create, but it makes me feel good that I at least tried. Even if, by try, I
mean that I went the extra mile and clicked on a picture. I take my triumphs
where I can, no matter how small.
I’m
addicted and I have a suspicion that I am not alone. I even get a little thrill
when someone re-pins one of my pins. Yep,
I like gettin’ me a little Pinterest love.
Clearly, I have self-esteem issues.
So,
I’ve put together a little quiz to help you determine if you are in fact (like me)
a Pinterest addict, all Jeff Foxworthy-esque, cuz that’s how I roll.
·
If you have ever sought out ideas on Pinterest for a wedding, and
you aren’t even engaged…..you might
be a Pinterest addict.
·
If you actually believe that you can make your teeth whiter by
swishing your mouth out with peroxide…you might be a Pinterest addict.
·
If you have ever tried to make a paper anything out of coffee filters…you might be a Pinterest addict.
·
If you have tried to make cake in the microwave using only 3
ingredients…you might be a Pinterest addict.
·
If you know a 101 uses for Mason jars…you might be a Pinterest
addict.
·
If at any time, you can close your eyes and picture Ryan Gosling
speaking to you directly…you might be a Pinterest addict.
I
could probably go on here, but this is seriously cutting into my Pinterest creeping
time.
I’m
not saying it’s ALL bad. I did get a seriously awesome recipe for ham and
cheese sliders off there for a potluck last week. That little taste of success
is what makes it so addicting; that and the idea that someday I really will make
a sunburst mirror using paint sticks.
So
if you are like me and a pinning addict, please, follow my boards. If you aren’t,
but want to a good laugh at someone else who is, or might be, I direct you to
the following sites:
Pin
on my friends!!
