I will not Pinterest today.


Recommended Posts

Good for you! Okay, I have pinterest, I don't get it though. Is it just like a scrapbook of pretty things we want? Is it another subversive way the internet tracks all of our actions and interests? :tongue_smilie:

 

I have a few things on my board, they're utterly boring, imo. Maybe I'm just in a spot where I can't claim to like things because I know we'll never have time or money to see them done? I'm thinking like some of the cool projects I've seen.

 

Maybe it's all part of learning to be content with less, but Pinterest doesn't enthuse me like it does for some of you. I wish it did, but I just don't get it.

For me, it appeals to my obsession for food and recipes. If you click on Food and Drink under "Everything", the drool-worthy pictures abound, ten, twenty, fifty, hundreds...all leading to recipes. It's almost beautiful. But it's really not fair to put stuff like that out there for those of us who cannot handle it. I could sit there all day long, staring at all the pictures, clicking on all the recipes...

 

And then there is the architecture. I have one board just for the kitchen designs I'm going to have when I grow up.

 

And, I did not look today :001_tt2:

I like it because it expands my bookmarks. If I end up changing operating systems, which I will be soon, I won't lose them, because I tend to forget to back them up, unfortunately. Also, there may be things that I want to look at in the future but don't want to commit valuable bookmark space to it. Some of the "52 books in 52 week" people track their books on Pinterest. Great way to categorize recipes found on the net. I have a lot in my "want to try" board. I've made many of them.

 

And, yeah, good luck with staying off of it tonight. :D

I did pinterest today. But I will give myself a pass because I actually cooked one of the recipes for dinner, and used a painting project with the kids. :D I know there are days I spend too much time on it, but I have been using many of the ideas. At least, that's my excuse. ;)
