i have a confession…
It seems that I have a new addiction. It is eating away at my time, and I’ve discovered that I can literally spend hours doing it. It calls my name at various times of the day: “Hey Marva, don’t you want to check me out to see what’s new?” I’m addicted…and I love it!
The “it” is Pinterest. All those beautiful things that I see once or twice on the web? Well now they have a place to call home. Pinterest is my own personal web pinboard. I don’t have to bookmark this page or that, I don’t have to save pictures to my hard drive anymore…I simply pin whatever it is that has caught my eye to the board of my choice…and voila! I am still fairly new to Pinterest, but I already have 15 boards. Of what, you ask? Well, I have one for clothes that catch my eye; I have another for food and frosty beverages; I even have one for those pictures of beautiful men that make me say, “Damn!”
What I like best is that it is truly a community thing. People I don’t know follow me, and I follow people who I don’t know. The community thing helps you to connect with people who you might not connect with under normal circumstances. It gives me a chance to share my love of shoes and books and beautiful men and houses (I think you get the point). I don’t know who’s idea Pinterest was, or how it came about, but I want to give that person (or persons, whatever works) a great big hug and a gold star!
Anywho, my name is Marva and I am a Pinterest addict. And I’m quite okay with that. If you are there too, press the button and let me know you are there. We may like some of the same things.
Jump up in the air, and stay there…

I am a Pinterest addict myself. I have a high heel board (of course), movies, TV shows, Men, Divas, Women Admired, office ideas, event ideas . . . on and on.
Some of my boards still need filled in and I need to add some new ones. I try to limit my time because, I can stay on for hours. So, I try to pick a day like Sunday to pin for hours
I will be “pinning” you soon.
Girl, Sharon…
This thing has got me big time! I will look for you!
LOL! I went there once and it was just too much for me to handle. It was like over stimulation on my eyes, and my eyes started smouldering so I left the site and never returned! But you do you boo boo (*in my best Nene voice!*)
Besides facebookj and twitter and school encompass all of my time, and IU am trying to get back in a regular flow of blog visits so my time is all but gone!
Smooches hun!
