Pinterest Addicted

We all know that social media can be addicting.  Pinterest is my new weakness.  I've blogged about Pinterest before.  It's this social photo-sharing site that allows you to create themed boards by pinning photos.  You can pin items from websites, and then the photos are linked to the website where the photo came from.  You can also search for certain themes of items on Pinterest or scroll through recently pinned items by your friends.  This is one of my favorite things to do.

Some of my boards are just for inspiration, some are recipes I want to try, and some have items from shopping online that are on my "wish list".  JW discovered how handy Pinterest could be in shopping for me around Valentine's Day.  I made him a board that I could pin things that reminded me of him to.  A few days later I noticed he had learned to pin and was pinning things he wanted to his board.  I love it! 

I am a list girl.  I like to write things down so I don't forget them or have to keep thinking about them.  It makes me feel organized.  I currently have a list on our refrigerator of movies I want to rent from Redbox and ones I want to go see in the theater.  We have a grocery list in the kitchen drawer, a menu of meals for the week on the fridge, and I have many lists at work.  Pinterest is a fun way to make a virtual list, if you will, and to be creative.  You can see my boards here.  Be careful if you decide to create an account.  It can get addicting!
