Why I Love to Hate Pinterest

Pinterest is perhaps the best time-suck I've ever encountered. If you don't know what it is, please ask someone else. I have tried to explain it to many of my friends and I don't do a good job.

It is jam packed with ideas that make me feel creative, trendy, and in the know even though I am none of these things. I see crafts that I am certain I could recreate even though the last time I created something was at Super Saturday during 8th grade fall break.

Yeah, it's been a while.

Anyway, Pinterest is laden with crap too. I don't get why some people feel compelled to bookmark some of that stuff for future use.

Perhaps the best-worst thing about Pinterest is the "Bucket List" pins.

Heaven help me.

Either those things are totally attainable (e.g. Have a white Christmas) or the complete opposite (e.g. Meet Emma Stone). What is wrong with you? Where are you going to PLAN to meet a celebrity??? Anyway, those stupid things deserve their own post.

I will regularly update the blog with pinterest findings but to date here are some of the best:



A toothbrush holder for STRAWS??? Who is carrying around all these straws? Wouldn't it make more sense to use the toothbrush holder for a toothbrush?



This is post it art. POST IT ART. Really? Whomever created this has absolutely zero experience with post its. Otherwise they know this masterpiece will have holes in it as those notes gracefully float to the floor one at a time starting next week. Also, who has a nook in their wall like this in order to accommodate such a masterpiece?



A clever way to eliminate the clutter caused by makeup, finally. That bag that fits in my drawer is so obtrusive!



HOW DOES THIS MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER????



I want to be first in line to place my newborn baby with the most sensitive skin on God's green earth on top of this mangy, wire haired, man-eater. Thanks. And you'll only charge me $500 for this priceless image? Small price to pay.



Anyone who thinks this is cute or funny needs a lesson in what is actually cute and funny. Also, that thing your "wiping the seaty" with had better be a clorox wipe and not your used toilet paper.



This is supposed to be a toddler bed. No really, it is. Or a dog bed. I guess people won't realize it's actually an upside down table.

But it is.

That's what it is.

A table.

On it's top.

Pretending to be a bed of sorts.

Seriously.
