pinterest

How on earth did I get sucked into this alternate universe known as Pinterest? The Husband hates this website, but I think he secretly loves it because I'm not just a passive pinner...I make and buy shit because of this site.

I think my friend Cassie actually said this site makes you think you're more stylish than you really are...have better taste than you really do...and that you're more creative than you really are. I might be giving the wrong person credit for that, but either way...it's true.

Here is a review of the items I have made/purchased.

Review: Um, if you really like orange juice...this is the recipe for you. Personally, I thought the OJ was overwhelming and the leftovers smelled a little bit like barf. So...you decide.

Review: Terrible. Followed the recipe exactly and couldn't even eat one. I think the Panko needed to be mixed with a ton of other spices to make this edible. No thank you, yuck!

Review: Good, but we're trying to find the right balance of jalapenos to cream cheese. You don't need very much cream cheese at all. We've made them twice if that tells you anything. It gets my approval.

Review: I bought the whole look in a medium, because I wear a medium. The skirt has an elastic waist so from behind I look like a fat chick (no offense to fat chicks), but a large elastic waist is not flattering. The shirt is great and can go with other skirts or jeans. I'm still deciding whether or not I keep the skirt. Maybe after I lose the 15-20 pounds that I need to lose this skirt will kick ass. OK, I think I've convinced myself to make this my "goal" skirt.

Review: Made it...love it. It was easy and a little messy...overall a fun craft to do with students at my school.

Review: Bought them for the Grey baby, but haven't received them yet.  I think I will love them.

Review: Bought one for the Grey baby and one for my favorite little guy, Patrick! We haven't received them yet, but I love the idea and I love that Patrick will get to remember where his roots lie.

So...I've pinned a million more things than this, but this is good start, yeah?  My mom gave me my first sewing lesson today so just wait until I start making little girl dresses! I'll kill it! I decided I should make little girl dresses because I don't have a little girl and therefore won't feel the need to keep everything I make. If I know you and you have a little girl...maybe I will give you one of the adorable dresses that I'm going to make.

So, Pinterest...you are my amazing, legal crack. Thank you!

  1. Here's how the pinterest obsession came about for me:

    Monday: What is this crazy site everyone else is talking about? I don't really see the appeal.

    Wednesday: OH--someone sent me an invite. Well, I guess I'll check it out.

    (10 minutes later): OH MY GOD I CAN'T STOP AND MUST SPEND MOST OF MY FREE INTERNET TIME PINNING THINGS ON MY BOARDS.

    Hooray for free, legal, ok-to-still-breastfeed-while-on-it crack.
