Well isn't that Pinteresting...

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:
