I love Pinterest. Truly, I may even have a Pinterest problem. Every night before bed, I read my Bible, check my email and do a little Pinterest-ing from the comfort of my bed. That’s really my only alone-time during the day, so it’s highly coveted. Amidst all of the pins blowing up my feed, sometimes, things stand out. Not for a good reason, mind you. Y’all, there are some things about Pinterest that are really annoying. For example, probably my biggest pet peeve involves something typed frequently as a note for pins. This particular phrase irritates me so badly, that I even made an e-card (you know, in the spirit of things):
Pin that (and don’t you dare type “pin now, read later” in the comments!), and stop the madness!

UGH! I totally agree. I also can’t stand the 8,345,234 great recipes! ones – Um, that’s a website. I just want quick links from my pins, thank you very much! And since when did Americans start saying “must” all the time? I must pin this? No, thanks!
LOL, Caitlin, that’s so true!! Crazy people!
yahoo I love pinterest too!!!!!! I only hate that I cant get on there from my work computer….HAHAHA…probably for good reason though!
I love Pinterest too, but I almost never have the time to actually complete any of the great projects. I’m pretty much a failure at truly using Pinterest!
The way I see it, Pinterest is like hoarding for ideas. At least that’s how I handle it!
So funny!
I actually have an entire BOARD of stuff that is titled “Look at me Later” The way I’ve always looked at it is that Pinterest is a place to pin stuff that you want to share with others and that you think is awesome. The “look at me later” board is stuff that I really can’t vouch for at all – the title is catchy but I haven’t even clicked on the link so for all I know, it could be a total dud.
A picture of a Halloween costume or a yummy sounding recipe is pretty straight forward – I either like it or I think it sounds great or I don’t, but a list of 40 ways to get my toddler to listen – well, that could be a total flop until I actually have time to read it.
Eh, probably doesn’t make any sense to anyone else, but it works for me

Well see, that makes sense! To me, Pinterest is idea hoarding, so that’s how I treat it! All of my boards are like little filing cabinets that i go back over when i have downtime. LOL- to each his own I guess! Do what works for you!
HUGS! and thank you for making that meme! I am just so sick of seeing that lame old line on Pinterest – that is TOTALLY the point. I want to scream when I see that anymore! Hehaheahe
Cheers to you!
