i love it, even though i shouldn't

The truth is, I don't need another time sucker in my life. I am trying to be a little better about where social media, Project Runway and The Real Housewives fall on my priority list. They should definitely fall somewhere below that towering pile of laundry, right?


So when people started buzzing about Pinterest, I ignored it. I definitely, definitely did not need to happen upon another website that could potentially (surely) monopolize more of my time. 


Dang it.


But there is a plus side to me giving in. I am always finding ideas in magazines that make me think, Oh I am going to do this. For sure. Let me just earmark this page and I'll come back to it later. And now I have a pile of about 396 magazines at my bedside that I have never opened a second time. Well really, it's more like 12, but still.


That is my justification. I can stop keeping these things lying around that drive my husband crazy and keep it all neat and organized and just a click away. I mean, thanks to Pinterest, I think my sister is going to have a pretty sweet baby shower, thank you very much. 


And project ideas? Holy moly. Look at all these lovelies:

On second thought, my husband might not be too excited about this.
