Pinterest...

Perhaps it's because I don't have that much time to just sit around and scroll through it. Perhaps it's b/c it just makes me hungry. Pinterest just doesn't peak my interest that much.

I mean, out of my 8 or 9 boards (not knowing how many pin boards I have should tell you that I don't spend that much time on it), the only one that really gets any action is my Food board.

Really, this just deceives people in two ways: 1) the follower who really doesn't know me must imagine that I am completely overweight... though I am slightly! (Hello! I just had a baby... And yes it was almost 7 months ago... and yes, I will continue to use that excuse until she's at least in high school!). 2) People probably think I cook... ALL THE TIME! And anyone whose even met me for a second, knows that isn't true. Alan holds down the kitchen most of the time. The other times, Hamburger Helper pitches in. I just LOVE recipes! I love reading them and dreaming of the future when I might want to try them.

It's not that I don't like to cook, b/c I do. I especially like baking, but not cookies, b/c those take too long! It's just that between working full-time and being short on time with my little family, there are other things I'd rather do than run home and stay in the kitchen all night!

Anyway, about pinterest... I will say that I see some really cute DIY ideas. And since I will eternally be on a budget (and that's not a bad thing! We just need to be good stewards of the what the Lord gives us!) the DIYs are essential. But since I feel the same way about those as I do recipes, it's not looking as if we will get very far in them!

So basically, in my opinion, pinterest is like a closet full of shoes: it has great, interesting, fun, and sexy pairs for me to wear, but let's be honest... i am just going to put on my comfy flats or flip flops, and say OOOH and AHHH and MAYBE SOMEDAY to those beautiful stilettos... just sitting there, collecting dust!

Oh, and just one more thing about pinterest: If you are married, please get rid of your "Wedding Ideas" board... or maybe change it to "Marriage Renewal in 50 years"... you're really starting to make me wonder...
