Admission

It has finally reached that point!

I think I will soon have to enter a 12 Step Program.

I have succumbed to

This admission is VERY hard to make, but I must

Yeah, right! Like I'm this thin.
 But, I used to wear denim skirts like this
when I was a young teacher.
And, I thought I was fat then?

And,

would you believe,

the person who did this was my niece . . .

L*A*U*R*E*N     E*L*I*Z*A*B*E*T*H ! ! ! !

I thought your relatives

were the people who were to

take care of you and comfort you

in your time of need?

Not hold a carrot in front of your face and say,

"Don't worry, Aunt Paula.

This will be GOOD for you?"

Well, I bit!

Hook, line and sinker

And then, I knew it was time for

the 12-Step-Program

for Pinterest.

Want to know how I knew?

I started rationalizing why I should be doing it.

Best reason?

Everything will be in one place,

with a picture,

instead of just a phrase and name

in my Favorites folder.

Do you buy that one?

Huh?

Do ya?

I do! ! ! !

ROFLMFAO ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Now,

full disclosure.

**~**~**~**~**~**~

My niece, Lauren, asked if I had ever heard of it.

"Yes," was my answer.

"But," I said, "I don't understand why one would do it."

She said she was "pinning" things

she had been finding for her soon to  be born niece . . .

who, just happens to be

my great niece Grace.

I knew I had a lot of "favorites"

in my "Favorites" folder.

I also had a lot of "favorites" in my Ravelry "Favorites."

Seldom, would I remember what I had

and where it was located.

Now, I have folders in Pinterest

(called boards)

where I can SEE what the item I have saved

actually looks like.

I think this way

it will be easier

to see what I want to make.

Oh,

I almost forgot.

I ALWAYS had a rough time

finding the patterns I had designed.

So, I made a "board"

with my own patterns "pinned"

so I can readily find them too.
