When a friend of mine showed me Pinterest at a football game, I have to admit I just didn't get it. Who would want to just go to a website to look at pictures? Isn't that what Google images is for? Need a hair style? Google hairstyles. I thought there was no way I would ever get caught up in something else online. I am far too busy with facebook and spider solitaire I have no interest in Pinterest.
However, at work the girls kept talking
about all these ideas they got from Pinterest. Ideas? They have
ideas there? What kind of ideas? So one of them sent me an
invitation to join Pinterest. It is a very exclusive thing you know.
I know maybe three people who aren't on it. You have to know all
the right people to be involved with Pinterest. It's about as
exclusive as Words With Friends.
I now have a Pinterest problem. I get
on there looking at all sorts of things. You can look at what is
popular, you can see what your friends are pinning. You can look at
everything and everything by category. I have gotten recipes,
preschool ideas, craft ideas, organizing ideas, and even outfit
ideas. You can look at all sorts of things. Today I figured that if
I have to be in two places at once on Saturday as I do, I should find
out how to clone myself. Where does one go to learn how to do that?
Why Pinterest of course! I have yet to find it yet but I have high
hopes.
I figure if I can't find it on
Pinterest surely I can find it on Google and if I can't find it there
then iPod probably has an App for that. How to be in two places at
once surely is a common problem. I do keep busy like the rest of the
population. I am not the busiest nor the least busy. I have a
family, I have a home to keep up, I have a job, I assistant coach
basketball for my son's team, and I have a daughter who is a musician
and is going to competition. I have friends who I like to spend time
with, I also spend a bit of time writing. Not to mention all the
shows I am behind on, on the DVR. A clone could come in handy.
If I were a Jetson this wouldn't be a
problem as I would have a robot to help me. If I were a Brady I
would have Alice. If I were at Hogwarts I could use the time turner.
If I only had a Delorean time machine I could figure it all out. I
am just sure of it. I suppose I should look for time management
ideas. Maybe they will have that on Pinterest. Wherever your
Pinterests lie you can probably find it on Pinterest or Google or an
iPod App. Although surprisingly I couldn't find a Yahtzee game for
my iPod touch, so there is that. I think for me my Pinterests lie in
wasting as much time as possible to avoid doing what I don't want to.
There is a pin that says something to the effect of “when I don't
feel like folding the laundry I restart the dryer” uh yeah, that's
me. Who doesn't want to look at a bunch of stuff they don't have,
can't afford, and will never attempt and put it on boards? It's like
a modern version of collecting pins or stamps or postcards. So I
have to wonder... Where do your Pinterests lie?
