Awesome:
♦Geek-tastic cakes!
♦Happy belated birthday Mr. Rogers! (Lady Elaine always gave me the creeps…)
♦I ♥ all of this! (Star Trek Next Generation!)
♦All things steampunk...

Diy:
♦Guerrilla gardening….very cool idea.
♦Bleach painting.
♦Super cute fox lamp. They also have a cool seahorse pillow pattern!!!
♦I really want to do this in my kitchen.
♦This table idea is super cool.

Feminism:
♦Female boxers made to wear skirts…to seem more “feminine?”
♦Childless by choice, and interview.(I understand where she is coming from. I don’t want children and I get negative comments and guilt trips form total strangers!)♦Accentuating…or covering? A look at Beauty Vs. Self-love.

“I would prefer to think that we decorate & dress up because we love ourselves, rather than because we are trying to hide or disguise who we are.” ~ Gala Darling

Noms:
♦Dark Chocolate cookies.
♦Oooooh! Carrot cake pancakes...!!! Rasputin will love these.
♦Easy blue bird sweets.
♦A new way to decorate cookies.

Mental Health/Recovery:
♦Another reason to leave Pinterest: “Thinspo”

Not familiar with “Thinspo” (Good for you!) Thinspo consists of thin-inspirational photos. Often photoshopped to appear smaller, bonier, and more emaciated.

I ask you…please don’t look at thinspo photos. You are fantastic, smart, funny and lovely just as you are! 

Keep being awesome!!!!


WTF?
♦The new speed-dating thing… “Eye-gazing Parties” Icky….glad I am not dating anymore!♦“What ethnicity are you…?” A woman voices her frustration at being asked this overly-personal question.
♦Florida repeals a law banning the dyeing of animals. Sick! What were they thinking???
♦This always kills me a bit inside to see this happen. (Bad wedding cakes…)

So Long Pinterest.... *Update*

Source

I decided to delete my Pinterest account.

After reading this, I decided I didn’t want to take the risk. I don’t want to be sued for copyright infringement.

To sum things up:

     You bear the brunt of copyright infringement…not the site.      

Yikes!

I am sad to have deleted it. I had a lot of fun on the site, and met some cool people.

**********************************

*Update*

Now that the dust has settled from me deleting my Pinterest account…I have realized a few things.

1. I spent WAY to much time on that site.

2. The “thinspo” on there was really getting to me.

3. I still really miss the folks I knew through the site! Courtney D. Had some of the best comments. : )

So if any folks from Pinterest do find my blog, feel free to drop me a line. I would love to hear from you!
