Bipolar Pinning

If you are following me on Pinterest,
you might agree with the title of this post.  ;)

It's just one of those days.

First I pinned this one to my board titled
Here's Your Sign:

I'm not mean and nasty by nature,

but this just struck me as hilarious

this morning!

But then I ended up posting this to my board

titled Words of Wisdom:

 

I'm thinking I'll heed the second.

It's just been a rough couple of days.  ;)

Back Into the Swing of Things

 

This clipart tells the story of my life.  

Pretty much.  

But I'm telling ya, a few days out of the routine and getting back into it is such a chore!  Christmas break ended last Wednesday, but with it being a short week and there being no practices or lessons or anything, it still wasn't our regular routine.  This is our first full week of 'normalcy' (and that totally depends upon your definition of normal!) and it's tough getting back into the swing of things.  Still, here we are, Tuesday already, and I'm doing what needs done.  Laundry, vacuuming, dishes, planning dinner, getting the Mom Taxi ready to run for after school pickups, drum lessons and a basketball game.  It's not even noon and I'm exhausted.


I would like to thank those of you who posted comments or messaged me regarding my last blog post.  I've tried repeatedly to reply to those comments but I'm having an issue with either Blogger or Discus.  Whichever it is, it's frustrating, to say the very least.  Regardless, I very much appreciate your comments and advice.  I have some pretty terrific bloggy friends.  :)  And I promise I'm working my way toward more regular posting of meaningful/helpful/entertaining content. 

Some days it's right there, 

begging me to spill it.  

Other days...well, you know.  

I am working on a post for tomorrow that I hope you'll enjoy.  I don't know if there is another blogger doing something similar (if there is, I haven't seen it...though I know that doesn't mean it doesn't exist) but I had a little idea and I'm hoping to make it happen.  As I've mentioned in the past, I'm pretty addicted to Pinterest (FOLLOW ME!) and all the cool things that can be found there.  Recently I've been seeing lots of pins that offer incredibly wise advice regarding life in general; thoughts and ideas that have touched me deeply in one way or another.  Some of these things are definitely worth sharing and I would like to do just that.  Therefore, tomorrow will be my first Wise Words Wednesday post. I hope you'll stop by and see just what struck my fancy this week.  :)  Every Humpday I plan to have a new thought or idea to share with you, to give you something to consider and possibly put into action to make your life just a little bit better.  There are so many fabulous offerings out there that I honestly think the hardest part for me is going to be choosing which ones to share!  

Be sure to stop by tomorrow to check it out.  :)  The first one is one I pinned several weeks ago but I can't seem to get it off my mind.  Definitely some wise words worth sharing! 

I Find That Veddy, Veddy Pinteresting!

 *Said in my veddy best Colonel Klink accent! ; )*

So just how Pinterested are you these days?  I confess.  I'm ADDICTED!  At first I didn't get the appeal.  What's the big deal about sticking all those pictures in one place?  Why would you need to do such a thing?  And why subject myself to yet another online addiction? 

Ummm....yeah.  Well, I went and did it anyway.  And it's GREAT!

For those of you unfamiliar with it (HELLOOOO?  Spending much time under a rock lately?) Pinterest allows you to create boards (think collections) of pictures from all around the Internet and you group them by subject.  For instance, Food.  On your Food board you would pin pics of dishes you'd like to make, pretty desserts, healthy ingredient substitutions, etc.  Whatever it is you find that relates to food, you can pin on  your Food board.  This is being very general and I'll tell you right now you're gonna want to create boards that don't cover such a broad subject.  You're far better off (for organization's sake) to create a board for desserts, one for main dishes, one for casseroles, etc.

Well, if you're silly like me, you pin a couple of pics and then think "Now what?  I don't get it.  They're pictures and they're on MY board and I have no idea what to do with them!"  That's when I realized that I could click on that pic of those yummy looking enchiladas and it would take me to the website where the recipe was listed!  Now doesn't that make so much sense?  Instead of bookmarking a whole lot of pages and knowing full well you'll probably never remember to go through all those bookmarks to find the Christmas recipe or craft idea you discovered while surfing the web back in March, you just look at your Pinterest boards and click on a pic!  Cool, huh?  : )  And a very clever concept.

A few of the things I've pinned?  Well, here's a sampling.  A very small sampling.  ; )

On my board titled Craftiness:

How cute is that?  Buttons, beads and sawed-off silverware. 

A great little pin to give Mom on Mother's Day.

On my board titled Worth Reading:

On this board I've started pinning books I've read recently

(and some not so recently)

along with a little mini book review.

This particular book, BTW...

FABULOUS read!

On my board titled A Girl Can Dream, Can't She?:

Isn't that perfect?

Just how inspired could a girl be in a place like that?

I can only imagine.  : )

Pretty, petite and private...a place to dream.

On my board titled Here's Your Sign:

There are so many of these cute clips

floating around out there in cyberspace!

I adore this one!  : )

And those are just a few of the things I've been pinning.  How about you?  Could I possibly Pinterest you in a new hobby? ; )  Just take a peek at the link below if you'd like to see some of the other things I've been pinning lately.  There are so many great ideas there!  And Pinterest is a terrific way to spread the love. <3
