Basic Reasons Pinterest Will Appeal to You, as it did ME
Are you on Pinterest yet? Do it.
It's motivation, inspirational, hilarious, sultry, informative, educational, delicious... really, which of things do you not want?
Motivational. You've got it. Love this one. It's on my "Life" board. Take a gander at the motivational photos too.
Sultry. Loads of gorgeous men and women. Like the handsome Matt Bomer in this photo. The debate for who will play Christian Grey in movie version of the book, Fifty Shades of Grey, is a hot topic on Pinterest. Here's my board "My Boys" so you can see many more men that make our hearts skip a beat. You're welcome.
Inspirational. You can't log on without finding inspiration from everywhere. Like this one from my "Garden" board. I'm always looking for ideas to reflect my family inside the home and OUT.
Humorous photos are always a favorite. This one just makes me smile. I've put it under my favorite category, "Weird Things I Like" mostly because I didn't know where else to put it. You'll like this board. It's the board of misfit toys.
.
When you first go to the Pinterest home page, it'll ask you to submit your email for a message to join. If you'd like to cut through all of that, give me your email and I'll send it to you immediately. If you have a Pinterest board you particularly enjoy, I want to see it! Post it for me here and I'll follow you.
Happy pinning!

Hey 19
We met when he was 19.
One of my top 5 all time favorite bands is Steely Dan.
Today is our 19th wedding anniversary.
In light of this wonderfully thoughtful and funny gift from my romantic man, I may have to rethink my list for arbitration time...
also known as, our anniversary.
Thank you Matt. I don't know how you'll top this.

The JoyKill of Social Networks...SPAM Hits Pinterest
I knew it wouldn't take long and now that I've seen one spammer, they are flooding the site. *Sigh* I clutch my heart and hope to goodness these un-fun spammers don't ruin this wonderfully visual new social network, Pinterest. The photos are lovely and as an information resource for all that is cool, crafty, cooking, clothing and kookie, it's my favorite "time suck" website.
There several ways to SPAM, but these on Pinterest tend to present themselves as one thing, when you click to inquire more, it leads you to another. Here's an example.
See the darling baby in a lobster costume in the chef's big cooking pot held by his mommy? I've put a big circle with a line across it to make it easier for you to identify. You want to know more about that adorable costume? Forget it, if you click the link you got shot to this website http://healthchildren.net/preserving-your-babys-dental-health/ Uhg. The user who posted it has 45 boards on Pinterest and only 1 "like". The jig is up!
Here's an interesting infographic on "social spam" and the lower part on how to be a good social content provider to networks. Twitter recently took several "Spam Companies" to court! We're hoping they win.
HAPPY PINNING!

Shoulda Woulda Coulda... Now I Am!
Grilling out in winter, that is. I should have been doing this all winter!
In Kansas City, this has been a non winter event. 3" of snow, total. Last year, 42", the winter before 41". Not sure what's going on, but no one is actually complaining over here.
Plus, inspecting my backyard, my HOSTAS are coming up! That usually doesn't happen until the first week in April. Bonus.

Droid Photo a Day - Feb 22nd Car Thru Storefront
Someone had a bad day. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
(used Enhanced Process on PicPlz.com for Droid)
These Shoes Ruined My Knees
Yes, these innocent looking shoes.
They are simple saddle shoes.
I wore them from 4th grade through high school, cheerleading.
Jumping, cheering, they supported me as I supported the team as the base of every pyramid, wearing them in and out of school, on and off school season. There is no arch support, they are slippery as heck (great for hanging on the back bumper of cars and hitching a lift up a steep hill on a snowy day) and really, what goes with a clunky black and white shoe?
Truth be told, they are my favorites. I created a slew of wonderful memories in them. Some I could tell you, some I would rather not. Saddle shoes were crazy comfortable and they worked well with jeans, which are a staple of my current wardrobe.
I want to thank Candice Riddle who posted them on her Childhood Memories Board on Pinterest. Take a look... and be ready to have your head swirl in memories!
My knees haven't heeled completely, but I'm willing to blame lots of other fun activities in my 20's and 30's toward the damage done to them. I'm ready to trade in my nurse looking Sketchers Shape Ups for the awesomeness of the saddle shoe.
If you know where I can get saddle shoes, leave me a comment.

Social Media Just Got Cozier with Concerts
As if tweeting live from a concert wasn't cool enough, now you can check out where your friends are sitting at a concert before you even purchase your tickets! All they have to do is tag themselves on the seating chart when they purchase and anyone else too. What a great use of being social.
