So here we are, it is the first day of spring break, or what we used to call Easter Vacation and I am sick. Last night when I went to bed I thought my allergies were just acting up, but I guess not. I feel for my kids. They are ready to take on the vacation and live every day to the fullest, but not me. I have spent over half of the day in my pajamas either sleeping in my chair while trying to watch TV or in my bed doing some real sleeping. I sure hope I get over this quickly. I need to be able to get up tomorrow and cook Easter dinner!
Along with sleeping I have been logging a lot of hours online. My IPad has windows open for Facebook and Pinterest. I am ashamed to say I am mildly obsessed with both sites. On the negative side, I think they both take up huge amounts of time that can be better spent doing, well, almost anything else. But, I still like them. I actually feel quite happy with Pinterest lately. I especially like that I can find new recipes that others have tried (and like). It gives me more confidence to give it a go, when I know someone else has been successful making it. And, I haven't been all talk about it, or should I say just pinning? I have made several of the dishes. Every single one of them has turned out great. I'm not always that lucky with recipes from magazines. After I have made a recipe, I go back into the pin and comment on it if it turned out well, and so far everything has gotten a positive comment. Either that says something about my pinning, or that people only post really good stuff. Maybe it is a little of both. I wonder who came up with Pinterest, and since I don't see ads on the side bar, like Facebook, I wonder if/how they are making money. It has already changed a bit since I have joined, and like Facebook, it always makes it a bit difficult to navigate the site until you get used to it. But even though I enjoy it, I still wonder if they are going to eventually charge us to store all this information we have placed in files on their site. That would stink, since I have been a pinning fool! I have files not only for recipes, but files for books I've read and books I want to read, crafts, fitness, inspiration, and just things I think are funny. Why I need to save (pin) them, I have no idea. Hopefully someday I will use it all. Oh yeah, I also have a file titled 'someday.' Maybe everything should be a sub-folder of that one!
Wow, this has been a somewhat rambling post... I would like to blame the cold medicine if that is alright with you.
