pinning shame
Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 9:49AM if you aren't on pinterest you are missing out on one of life's most awesome time sucks.
but i know you are.
everyone is and if i invented pinterest we would all be at the parker palm springs right now smoking grade A weed, swimming naked and having a shoe party like nene and marlo.
not only do i pin your pins but i stare at my pins like a tumblr and say..wow..i have great pinning taste.
some of you do not.
and i secretly laugh at your tacky pins behind your back.
just kidding.
we pin what we pin for a reason.
i'm not really a pin judger.
that said..
sometimes i will pin something that i know is mostly horrendous but the rug in it is awesome.
but i like to SAY..hey everyone...this room sucks dicks but isn't the color of the wall pretty?
that way you know that i know that you know i still have awesome taste.
and now the whole world knows how incredibly superficial i really am.
all that to say..
look at these pins that i love and want to lick..
those lamps and that black and brass beast.
i have big love for this bedroom.
the only thing i would change are those tables.
waaaaay too small.
the rug is killing it.
and so is that blue desk working 2 jobs.
if you follow this blog long time you know my deep deep love for small kitchens.
i love the low ceilings.
i love the display of coffee gadgets.
i love that it apparently opens up onto some kind of amazing porch..
this is my dream summer house cabin place.
look at those glossy white beams!
go punch yourself in the boobs right now.
good lord in heaven what's not to love?
this needs to happen on some steps i have.
if only i knew what in the fart it was.
creeping jenny?
purple star-like flower?
help me gardening nerds.
seriously, if pinterest crashed there would be a million ladies and gays taking to pills and booze bc they suddenly wouldn't know what to do with themselves.
you can follow me on pinterest.
happy weekending!

It's a little creeping Campanula, maybe even called Stellata Campanula?
The rug in the room with the blue desk is a tablecloth from Target. I remember it from when the tutorial on how to make a tablecloth into a rug was everywhere. I could never find it at my Target, of course.
thank you anon!
jessica- r u sure? it looks like crewel work on the "rug". hmm...i need to research this. interesting.
Well Darling, I guess all the good news returned you to your adorable self. Can't think of a better way to start a Saturday, you make me laugh and that is priceless. Thanks for all you do!!! I don't think you realize how you brighten up the world and make it a more fun place.
I'm obsessed with Pinterest. Facebook is dead to me now. Follow me.....please?
ha! I just wasted an hour pinning right before reading this. I think the plant is some kind of campanula, maybe campanula portenschlagiana. I didn't think that campanula would attach like that, so maybe it's something else.
I pin your shit all of the time. I guess I need to find you on pinterest.
I, too, am proud of my pins. Even if I like something, but the picture quality is ugly, I will NOT pin it. I might "like"it.
hope my pins are worthy! incredibly happy to see you sass back in full force. xxxooo
i pinned your pins so there. but seriously. that kitchen. i must have it now. my kitchen sucks. xo {i'll follow you if you follow me - wink wink - http://pinterest.com/megbluelime/}

One time I thought all of my pins had somehow been deleted. Holy shit was I mad and depressed at the thought of all of my wasted time gone! I look at mine and think I have good taste too, ha, ha!
Checking it out now, that's a lot of good shit on your Pinterest! And I love the the pink walls in the blue desk room above; did you ever decide on a shade and paint yours? My newest time suck is olioboard.com, I wasted two whole days there this week! That's how long it took me to make two freaking mood boards and upload a bunch of stuff I can't afford from all over the internets.
i'm a total pinning snob. and i have WAY too many pins, like 2600 of them, but i love each one dearly. i totally am a pin judger. i've even unfollowed people because of their crappy pins. and my "likes" are pins i don't like enough to be repinned and/or don't fit into any of my board categories and i'm not ABOUT to make a board just for that pin.
and pretty please, pinning gods, can you not allow any more pinning of mod podge crap. PRETTY PLEASE!!!
thank you.
Pinterest has given me carpal tunnel syndrome. On another note: I have been following your blog for over a year and following your pins for about a week and a half since I found you on there. Thanks for the inspiration and the laughs!
A friend of mine just sent around an article on Facebook written by some lawyer chick who was talking about how many copyright problems exist with Pinterest and she was asking me what I thought and I was like, THE ONLY WAY I'M GETTING OFF PINTEREST IS IF I'M DEAD.
the plant on the steps looks like kenilworth ivy
creeping jenny is pretty too but has yellow flowers
grade a weekend at the parker palm springs?
yes please!!
I love basking in the glory of my beautiful pins and think, damn I'm good at collecting pictures of other people's good taste.
Jenny - this question has nothing to do with your post, although I enjoyed it very much, it is in response to your recent post about unfiltered apple cider vinegar and I'm hoping you can provide more insight to your experience.
After reading your recommendation I googled the health benefits about unfiltered ACV and they were even better than you described - every article was glowing. I love that kind of stuff; holistic remedies found from whole foods found in your pantry - awesome! So I decided to try it, and have been diluting two tablespoons of ACV with approx 8 oz of water every morning before breakfast for over a week and I have also noticed some meaningful changes - for example, no bloat or gas, much better digestion, better energy, less craving for sweets - pretty much all good. Can't complain, less one exception... my skin looks the worst it's ever looked. I'm getting spots, not exactly acne, but red spots on places that have never been problem areas before like under my eyes, the bridge of my nose, the middle of my cheek, my hairline, etc. There probably isn't a square centimeter on my face that doesn't have a spot and I'm wondering if this was your early experience too? Is my body ridding toxins as a result of ingesting ACV? Will this eventually stop? Is this a normal part of a "detoxification" process? Anything you can share would be really appreciated. I don't want to give up on it yet because I think there are some great health benefits that can be gained, but my face is seriously starting to look like ass. Please tell me not to worry... I'm worried.
ok when I first joined Pinterest they gave me a bunch of rules like what to do with all these symbols #@* and what not. I have since never used them and always feel guilty when pinning. For instance, when pinning something from your blog should I always say from @MFAMB?
for all the reasons you mentioned (and because I don't have time to keep up with a blog or even to take an occassional piss break) I've avoided the pinning trend...sort of feel like I'd treat it like facebook and make love to it for awhile but then just leave it used and tired in the corner of my cyber room...
I think that's Periwinkle!
