pinterest
ok, so i’ll admit it, sometimes i get on pinterest and i get lost for long periods of time. it’s usually at night when i crawl into bed. i think to myself...”i’ll just stop by for a little while.” an hour later i find my eyes going blurry and i suddenly have an insatiable desire to start redoing furniture. never mind that i have absolutely no idea how to do that. or where to buy used furniture for that matter.
i’ve learned a few things from pinterest. i’ve learned that i can predict what is going on in someone’s life based on their pinterest boards. sister, if you don’t want me to know you’re planning a wedding, a big vacation or a new haircut...put that board on the private setting! it’s getting kind of awkward... plus, it’s hard to act surprised when you ask me to pray with you about a life change you are considering. no, it’s not the gift of prophesy i’m walking in...i just like to hang out on pinterest and clearly so do you!
i’ve learned that the amount of time i spend on the exercise and health boards directly affects my weight. unfortunately, the same is true about the amount of time i spend on the recipe boards...it’s just a different affect.
i’ve learned that i can motivate myself tremendously by looking at the fashion boards. keep it together, dezra! i know you’re exhausted. i know you spend a minimum of 3 hours a day cooking, and you feel like if you see another pot or pan you’re going to scream. i know you don’t feel like washing your hair because it’s just going to get dirty again...but it’s too early in life to let yourself go! you can do this! put on those skinny jeans and scarf! you didn’t spend 2 hours last night pinning to the exercise board for nothing! keep.it.together!
i've learned that pinning to the exercise board is not the same as actually doing the exercise.
i've learned that it makes me happy to find pictures of future aspirations. my favorite board to pin to is my farmhouse board. it also works as a motivator. it serves as a destination. a place i want to be in a certain amount of time. it keeps me motivated to take the steps necessary to get there. the steps financially, mentally, relationally. in life, things don’t always work out how we plan, but i don’t want to get to the end of life and not have planned for the things that i always said were important. dreams coming true rarely just happens...there is usually some hard work involved. and i love how pinterest can put a picture to those goals.

i've learned that some people like to organize their lives. like, really, really organize. i've learned that there is an adorable box for pretty much anything that you can imagine. i've learned that some people file, shelf and cute little container most everything they have. or at least they like to post pictures saying they do. i personally don't own a file, shelf or container of any kind. just kidding. mostly.
i've learned that a good meme can make me laugh for days.
i've learned that some of my friends have weird interests. and by that i mean, i'm a little afraid of some of my friends.
i've learned that i can go months and months without ever stepping a cyber foot onto pinterest....and that proves that i am not an addict.
