Have you heard of this? Most likely, yes. If not, it's a website where you can "pin" things; for example I see something I like on a website, I click the button "Pin it" (after signing up) and wah-la! It's "pinned" onto a digital pin board where you can refer back to.Well, I had heard of it through several friends, and I decided that it wasn't a good idea for me, because it seemed like something that would just make me more consumer-oriented, and I didn't like that.
Then, I read a blog post from a friend I knew from when I was going to school in Idaho. She talked about she liked it, and how it gave her ideas of things to do for her home, things she wants to see, etc. (something along those lines). I liked her perspective about it, and realized it didn't have to be all about buying and wanting.
So, I gave in, of course. I was soon turned off by the website when I had to be "invited" and had to wait several days to get the show on the road. Really? Come on now, people. Then once I was finally dubbed a proud owner of a Pinterest account there were all sorts of little glitches, and that was annoying too.
Anyway, let's get to the point, shall we?
So now I'm an official Pinterest-er. Still trying to get use to it, but it did exactly what I predicted in the very beginning- made me want and covet things that I don't have money for! Ridiculous.
I got a little carried away today with gazillions of cute dresses I like.
Sigh.
I'm going to try to chill out in the consumer department, and maybe try to find other things like recipes, inspirations for DIY and such.
Someday, I'll have a job and be able to pay for some of these things. Someday...
