I try and ride my stationary bike 5 days a week. I mix it up with intervals and steady work. It is great cross-training and keeps me from stiffening up on run days.
It is also time I get to dedicate to social media! I don’t feel like I’m “wasting time on-line” when I am stuck on the bike for 30 minutes anyway!
And my favorite social media is Pinterest – and as y’all know – it doesn’t go to waste, you see me trying things all the time!
But, for every Pin I pin, and every Pin I try out, there are 1,000 more that I have nothing but a snarky comment for! That has actually made my Pinterest scrolling go by faster!
Isn’t Biscuit considered “from scratch”?
Apparently it is a thing to not wear pants with a sweater. I’m pretty sure I’d get arrested if I tried that.
Seriously? Who is buying white leather furniture?
That is not real sweat. Come on marketing team, you can do better than that to get my attention!!
Free the chocolate! Free the chocolate!!
That looks great, but there is no way you are rolling that burrito up with that much stuff in it…
“A dear friend introduced me to this lotion…” Really just natural skincare dot com… a dear friend introduced you to this lotion… that you pinned… from your website.
Does anyone actually throw away old make up?
Did your windows have a growth spurt?
And finally:
Pretty much put things on there. Got it.
So, Pinterest helps me learn new skills, tips and tricks; it keeps me occupied when exercising and it also helps sharpen my snarkiness!
Despite my snarky, I did link to each and every web site that I pulled that pin from, because just because I won’t click through doesn’t mean it’s not a tip you can use! I had fun and giggled over all of these as I was picking them out… I’ve actually been collecting them for months now, waiting until I had amassed a large enough collection of sass to share with y’all!
Now it’s confession time… who else does this? Let me know some of the thoughts you have when scrolling through Pinterest.
And, if you are interested in growing your Pinterest followers, check out Penney Fox with Inner SocialMedianess, she has been a strong supporter of mine and I enjoy her tips and tricks. I very seldom give them a snarky comment! 🙂 (Penney didn’t pay me for that… but now I’m thinking she probably should! ha!)
I haven’t tried Pinterest yet, Kate. Maybe you’ll inspire me to try something new!
It is fun, especially if you like to cook or craft, but it’s also a great resource! 🙂
I have yet to be addicted to Pinterest. Haven’t even pinned in ages. As usual Kate, your comments made me laugh. X 😀
I’m glad they made you laugh! I was straddling the line between fun and snarky – and grumpy old man! LOL!!
Hahahahaha how funny are those pins!! I love Pinterest it has tons of great stuff and tons of stuff that just make you think “What the??” xxx
I know! I find and create amazing (and not so amazing) things that I’ve found there… and all of that is tempered with all of the “you’ve got to be kidding me” moments! LOL 🙂
😜😜
45 minutes of work for just 7 pancakes? Na, not worth it, but I sure am hungry now. Thanks a lot. 🙂 I do the same thing. Where do they come up with some of this stuff? That last one is a joke – all I see is organized clutter.
I remember actually clicking through and reading that last one – cause who doesn’t want a pretty bookcase display? And the answer really was… put stuff on there that everyone can see… I was like, huh? LOL.
And I agree, as healthy as I want to be, there are only so many sacrifices I’ll make, and 45 min for pancakes is NOT one of the them! 😀
I hardly Pinterest but I love your Pinterest posts. This one is def my fav. Hilarious!
😀 Thank you!! I had fun collecting those… anytime I had a really snarky comment I had to go back and pin it so I wouldn’t lose it!
OMG….. “A dear friend introduced me to this lotion…” Really just natural skincare dot com… a dear friend introduced you to this lotion… that you pinned… from your website. I’M DYING! Also, the “I put it on EVERYWHERE” bit lol. Here I am putting lotion on in the office, at the beach, on the bus, haha. BUT you literally killed me with the window growth spurt baha, I’m still laughing.
Well, I mean, who buys curtains the wrong size? Why are you lengthening them? Just go put them in a different spot! A growth spurt is the only logical answer!
Hope you’re feeling better!
You made my day with this. I do not use Pinterest. I actually find the whole thing overwhelming and anxiety-producing. YOu have given me a different perspective 🙂 I now feel superior to Pinterest.
😀 I’m so glad I could help!! It can be very overwhelming, so I totally get that! A friend once said something along the lines of “it’s just a place for people to show off” and I have to giggle when I think of that, because there are a lot of pins that should never see the light of day! 🙂
I daren’t even start with Pinterest. Blogging, Facebook and a sprinkling of Twitter is all that I can manage with only 24 hours in a day. 🙂 Some of these are so funny. Why would anyone throw away perfectly good makeup, especially at today’s prices?
oh my goodness I know!!! I splurged at Thanksgiving and bought some new make up that was heavily on sale… and still an insane amount of money!!
So much awesome snark in one post! 🙂 I would see the image first and think something sarcastic, then scrolled down to see that we were often on the same page! But I probably should go clean out my makeup drawer now.
Love it!! I’m so glad our snark matched up! (and yes, I threw away make up the other day… LOL, I didn’t read the article, but based on the picture, and that none of the items had “15 years” next them told me I may need to declutter!!)
I’m the Queen of Snark, so this post touched my heart. 🙂
Nancy you’re hilarious! This conjures up a really funny picture in my mind. 😀
Haha! I know…I’m twisted. Or, as a friend recently told me, “Nanc, you ain’t right.” Guilty. 🙂
LOL! I know most of the people in my life are like you – you totally get and appreciate it! There is not enough time in our lives to style ourselves in sweaters and no pants!!
I’m wearing a sweater and no pants as I type this.
If I would have had a drink in my mouth it would have been all over my computer! I died when I read that!
I’m going to have to keep this short, Kate . . . so I can go sit on my CLEAN white leather sofa . . . in my long sweater and leggings . . . and sort through my old make-up . . . while lengthening some curtains.
hahahahahhaha! Nice!!!
I have lost time on Pinterest. It could be 2 pm when I start and suddenly it’s dark outside and I have forgotten to make dinner. (which is ironic because I’m usually looking for new ideas for dinners)
Okay, the reason why I check Pinterest when on the bike is BECAUSE I’ve lost so much time!! LOL, now, I figure if I’m going to lose time, at least I will be exercising!! And I wish I could say I was kidding… 🙂
Lol…we do what we have to do!
These were hilarious! The burrito… Yeah, I’ve tried putting too much and there is no way to roll it. What a mess! I love the snark. I don’t browse Pinterest all that often because I forget about it. Sure wish I had a stationary bike. I think I’d do that and surf the internet or watch hockey while riding. Oh, and no pants? Say what? Big sweater and no pants. Guess they aren’t leaving the house. 😀
I’m a big fan of my bike! And yeah, some of those things I look at and just don’t get – especially all of the sweaters and no pants! I cracked up when I realized how many pictures actually were like that!
