Pintrest

The other day I was asking a friend if she had any ideas for a fun, but not trashy game ideas for the Bachelorette party I'm throwing for my soon to be Sister-in-law.  She didn't, but said I should try Pintrest. I proceeded to tell her that well...I'm not on Pintrest.

As you can imagine, that cause quite some shock. "You're not on Pintrest???!!!!" I believe was the response I have a tendency to be a little behind on trends. Aaaaannnd...I hear all these people saying they spend so much time on Pintrest, they don't end up doing things they really need to do! I've kind of avoided it because, well, I know I'm one of 'those kinds' of people.

Take right now for example. Last night as I was lying in bed, trying desperately to fall asleep I just kept thinking of the things I needed to do today.

1. Start cleaning out the storage room to make room for stuff that is downstairs in the "Game Room". (It's called that because there is a Foosball table in there. It never gets used.)
2. Move some of the stuff from the "Game Room" upstairs to the storage room.  Maybe then we'll be able to remember what we actually have in that room.
3. Uncover the *insert swear word here* elliptical machine from the mess, and drag it into out bare living room, that way I'll have to look at it every time I walk into the kitchen, and maybe actually use it.

Alas. It's almost 1 pm and I've managed to do none of the above.
You see, as I was browsing good ol' Facebook this morning, I saw a link my friend put up.  It was for the website Howtobeadad.com.   Instead of doing the things on my list, I've spent the last 2(!!), that's right, 2 hours learning how to be a dad. Why do I need to know how to be a dad?!  Well, I don't. But these two dads that run this website are pretty funny.

I've spent multiple hours on Pintrest so far, finding many wonderful things I'd like to do, and things that are awesome, and food I want to try. No luck in the game department, but I fear I'm turning into one of 'those people' who spend entirely to much time on Pintrest, and less time doing what I need to do.

PS - If you have any ideas for Bachelorette party games that don't involve man parts, would you let me know? I want the games to be fun, and maybe sexy...but let's leave out the man junk.
