My Interest in Pinterest

I recently noticed that several people on Facebook were writing about a website called Pinterest. Despite having "interest" in the name, it didn't sound that interesting to me. I finally decided to check it out, and now I'm addicted. Pinterest is a website where you can customize your own virtual pin boards--pinning ideas, products, crafts, and recipes that you like. You can follow your Facebook or Twitter friends and see what they like as well. The site is always updating, so the ideas are endless.

Here's an overview of my personalized boards. (You can create your own categories.)
From there, you can click on any board, and see all of the ideas you have pinned.
So, once you've started pinning onto your boards, you can put your ideas into action. I've found enough to keep me busy for a very long time! I've tried a few ideas out so far and was able to make some super cool things!

If you're already using Pinterest, I'd like to know what ideas you've loved the most. If you are not using the website, please let me know. I'll send you an invitation and you can start pinning away. You'll also quickly develop an interest in Pinterest!

Am I The Only One?

Just wondering...

Am I the only one who tries to beat the arrival time on the GPS?
I love my GPS. I love that I can get somewhere without really knowing where I'm going. I love that the display shows the speed limit, and just how much over I am going. My favorite feature, however, is the arrival time feature. I love that I can go to Nashville, and know that I will be there at 1:34 P.M. I consider that to be very valuable information. Here's the thing though, I constantly feel the need to try to beat that time. I feel like I am a highly accomplished person if I make it there at 1:30 instead. Does anyone else do this?

Am I the only one who only craves Chick-fil-A on Sundays?
I like Chik-fil-A as much as anyone. The chicken & fries are great, the sweet tea is awesome, and they have some wonderful dipping sauces. Here's the problem, I only crave Chick-fil-A on Sundays, when they are closed. It's just not a place I think of often, but inevitably, when I do, it's a Sunday. Does this only happen to me?

Am I the only one whose phone rings when I'm in the bathroom?
My phone can go hours without ringing, but as soon as I'm in the shower or bathroom I get a phone call. It happens all the time. I guess if I really want someone to call, I should just go in the bathroom and wait. I don't know...maybe this only happens to me.

Am I the only one who hates hearing "coming up" on TV?
I hate when I'm watching a show like "The Bachelor" and before a commercial break Chris Harrison says "Coming up, on the Bachelor..." I hate that they give things away...I don't want to see a clip of a one-on-one, when I don't even know who's going on the date. I don't want to see clips from "the most dramatic rose ceremony ever." I like to be surprised! I find myself closing my eyes, turning the channel, or leaving the room so I don't find out what's going to happen. I feel like that is lame, but it's the truth. Please tell me that I'm not the only one who does that.

If you can relate to any of these, please let me know. I'd like to know that I am not the only one.
