I joined Pintrest. Ugh, the monster got me. I'm in.
I had resisted for a long time because I didn't want to find myself awake at 11:30 pm pinning and repinning things when I should be sleeping. I get so little sleep as is, that the idea of being tired because I was obsessed with finding the perfect French toast in the shape of a reindeer's face was a bit much to me. I don't know if that thing actually exists, but I'm sure it does.
But, a few readers sent me some emails suggesting that I join to help get the word out about my blog.
How I recall their emails:
Dear Sarah,
OMG, you're so pretty and smart. I really think you're amazing and should totally join Pintrest! There is a whole group of people out there who have never heard your "that's what she said" jokes. For the sake of humanity, I beg you to join.
Love,
Super nice reader.
Ps, I can tell you've been working out because your ass is kickin' like Van Damme. You're body karate.
How they might recall their emails:
Hi Sarah,
You should consider joining Pintrest. I think it would help you reach more readers!
Take care,
Super nice reader
Well, history won't care how the conversation went, but just know that the end result is that I've come to the Dark Side. Am I officially a "Pin head" now?
I don't currently have the time to poke around there much or follow other people, but I hope that will change once I complete a few big projects I'm working on right now. Until then, you're pretty much going to see pins of stuff I've already shown you here.
If you want to follow me, I honestly have no idea how you do that, but you probably do. I'm either on there as frugalbychoice or SarahMcFrugalPants. I'm sure you'll find me. Just follow my sweet ass to the boards.

When you figure out how to attach the 'Pin it' button to each individiual blog post, let me know - LOL ;) Like you say, if blogging was a full time job, think of all the things we could do!!! I just don't have the time to get into my tech geek mode and figure that crap out!
ReplyDeleteDon't hold your breath! You don't want to know how long it took me to figure out how to change the HTML to get the "reply" thingy for the comments so that people can reply directly to comments.
DeleteI just joined too- 2 days ago, peer pressure got me. So far its pretty cool though- I try not to spend a million hours on there though- its a little too easy to spend all your time getting great ideas and never actually doing them!
ReplyDeleteLet's be each other's sponsors. If we go on a pinning bender, the other has to pull us back to reality!
DeleteWelcome to the dark side! They definitely have cookies. Pages and pages of them.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm
DeleteNever fear, the addiction wears off after awhile. :)
ReplyDeleteIf I start hooking for pins, you'll know it's gone too far for me! ;-D
DeleteGreat!
ReplyDeleteThat is where I originally found your blog in the first place. You will love it and then will find yourself in the place that you have so many projects pinned you won't know what to do next. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm already there without Pintrest though! LOL.
DeleteGood morning Sarah...just wanted to let you know that when I read that you had finally joined the rest of us "Pin-Addicts", I had to let you know that I pinned you (again) on Pinterest today and this is exactly what I said:
ReplyDeleteBecause when you LOVE LOVE LOVE a blog as much as I do this one...you want to be there everyday, just so you DON'T miss a joke and ton of great Ideas...and she's hilarious to boot! Love, Frugal by Choice, Cheap by Necessity!
Welcome to the "Dark" side,
Melanie, thanks so much for the kind comments and for "pimping" my blog too! I appreciate it!
DeleteAnd thanks for getting House of Pain stuck in my head with this post title! Lol
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure! ;-D
DeleteI am incredibly glad you joined pinterest. I've been stalking your website like a crazy ex and now I get updates on my pinterest page. It's a much more convenient way of stalking. Thanks so much!
