Last Monday I had 17 tabs open on the top of my computer. Saving recipes, future art projects, blog posts I really enjoyed. And my favorites column on the side of my computer is complete madness. Over 100 things bookmarked that I hope to bake, make, organize, duplicate etc...
The next day I went to make sugar cookies with Lisa and Sara and we started talking about Pinterest.
I have forever said I would not go there. I was certain it was a black hole time suck and that I would never, ever get out if I stepped foot in that lovely land that everyone raves about.
But then I started looking around a bit, and I realized this: Pinterest is like Computer Organization. There is finally a home for all of those posts I have marked in my favorites column. Essentially, Pinterest provides a labeled tupperware tub for various online ideas. And you know how I love me a labeled tupperware tub.
And so this is how I am justifying my leap into the land of Pinterest. Sounds good doesn't it? Justification is always an interesting thing. Truth be told: It has been a black hole time suck. But actually, not that black. It's a super colorful, inspired time suck. And I'm smitten.
So watch me eat my words. My apologies to all of you that I gave my monologue to about my plan to look but not touch. I'm all in.
And if you want to see my boards (is that even what you say? I don't know the lingo yet...) you can check me out at http://pinterest.com/joyfullybecca/ and follow all of my colorful finds.

Ha ha! Don't worry...I won't judge you for going to Twitter. I think we all do, eventually.
I just posted on my blog about how I keep my Pinterest sanity. Pinterest can become a bit too much at first, but I've learned to be able to handle my addiction!
i will not look. i will not touch. i will not look. i will not touch. .....We'll see how long I can hold out. ;)
Keep up your blogging, Becca. We enjoy your writing and think you are a terrific young woman! Ivar is a doll. Hello to Rory.
We got the sad news about Jan today. We will miss her so. We are glad her struggle is over but so sad for Don.
We will see you all soon.
Love, Cathy and Chuck
I echo sarah in the wood's comment!! I may just succumb and be sucked into the black hole as well.
