Dear So and So: 24/2/2012

Dear Coccyx
What are you playing at?
It has been ages since you last bothered me and now, to be honest,
You are being a pain in the arse!
The spleen and the appendix can be removed (as they serve little purpose) if they are being a pain so be warned,
You are on notice!
Her who needs a rubber ring.

Dear Husband,
About this weekend, you did realise I was going away to Natalie’s right?
I love you!
There is cake in the cupboard.
I love you!
Her who hopes her fellas have a nice quiet and restful weekend together x

Dear Boys
You had SO better behave yourself this weekend!
I’ll miss you heaps but will be unimpressed if I come home and find you both glued to the kitchen wall.
Play nice!
Love Mummy x

Dear Aquafit
I’m sorry I missed you last week and it looks like next week is out too.
Don’t feel unloved and abandoned, I’m not there because of Doctor’s orders but will be back!
I have no doubt you’ll make sure I remember you all week after the next workout
Love her who is feeling the lack of the exercise!

Dear Warner Brothers
You sent me a big box of goodies including fab DVDs for Valentine’s day (I love you too).
We are still ploughing through them.
You just can’t beat curling up in front of a DVD can you?
We’ve had date night for Roy and I, I’ve watched one with my sister Lauren, and I’ve snuck on in whilst Taylor has napped.
Talk about guilty pleasure!
Thanks again x

Dear Weekend!
What took you so long? I’ve been waiting for you all week. I don’t look kindly on tardiness you know!
This is an important weekend. I am seeing my eldest brother AND having a girlie weekend with my best friend Natalie.
It really has been a bit of a wait you know!
Her who is impatient for Friday to be over.

Dear readers
If you’ve got this far I’m impressed,
You have stamina!!
Have a great weekend all x

Dear Naughty Kat
So you thought by not mentioning your birthday I wouldn’t find out?
*Shakes head*
A huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout-out to Kat, the brains and beauty behind the Dear So and So posts!
Have a great day chick,
Love me x

Dear So and So...

Pinterest: Just fun or destined for more?

Pinterest

Apparently Pinterest is the Next Big Social Media Thing. Maybe it is already but I’m not quite seeing it myself.

Don’t get me wrong, I use Pinterest (I’m here) and am suitably hooked but I use it for me. It appeals to me in so many ways, I can label things (I like boxes), I can search and collect pretty, useful, interesting things and store them for my own pleasure. I’m not sure what else there is?

I have 4 Boards.

Just Because – This is a board that contains anything that makes me chuckle, intrigues me or makes me think. It also contains anything that I want to pin but can’t think of a suitable board name for.

For the Home: Things I have, want, love for the home. This board is my main board and feeds my interior design obsession. Lots of pretty and striking things mixed up.

Make and Do: Started around Xmas this board has craft things for the kids and thing I’d like to make for the home. I probably won’t of course as I am rubbish at anything crafty myself, I’ll find somewhere that I can buy it from and add it to my For The Home board 🙂

Style Board. I have three pins in here. Clearly I am not very stylish, I’m more of a comfort girl. I might rename this board “Things I might buy and wear if I was skinny, rich and could be arsed”. I might even just delete it, because I can.

And that is it!

Perhaps I need a “Pinterest for Idiots” guide to see the bigger picture but you know what, for me, it’s just an enjoyable tool.

What do you use Pinterest for? Are you like me and just like to collect shiny things to browse and grin at, to find new blogs and sites that the pictures link back to and enjoy nosying at what other people find funny / pretty etc?

Do you use it, or do you plan to use it as a business or social networking tool?

What do you use yours for?
