Pinterest

,
You probably have heard of a website called "Pinterest." You may have even have an account or have an invite sitting in your email. I have been on Pinterest for about a yearish.. (I cant remember exactly when I joined...) but for some reason I love it. I love getting on and looking, I do admit sometimes I spend way too much time on it. So why is it such a big sensation? and what the heck is it?
- So basically its an online "collage"-where you "pin"  links and photos of your favorite stuff — food, clothing,  tips — onto a virtual bulletin board.
Pinterest is seeming to be more for women, between 25-44.
Ladies are planning out weddings (even if they dont even have an engagement ring... or a boyfriend for that matter)
Of course there is many ideas that people have posted about food, recipes, ideas, tips.
Many frequent the area for their kids, to find inspiration for decorating, games and tips for kiddos.
lots of ideas for the home, organization, remodel ideas,
then of course the fashion, clothing combinations, and ideas and whatnot.
Theres ideas for travel, some places I've never heard of, I really want to go to now because they are so interesting.
You can post your own stuff on to Pinterest, as well as pin stuff from the internet ... Say you found a magificent recipe on a blog... you want to Share the world about this fantastic recipe... so you "pin it"- Simply at the top of the "pinterest" page, Click on "add" then post the link in the space.
If you want to upload your own picture or something from your computer, then Click "Add" then "upload pin"

Ok, now to repin, Pins... so you have these boards, some come provided when you make your account, you can also create your own categories... basically on these boards to organize all the stuff that you are going to repin or pin.
so lets say you found a recipe that someone already posted on Pinterest, you then drag your mouse over that picture and some things come up at top of the picture click on "repin" then select which "board"you want to put it on, then you can write your own comments on it, if you'd like.  then "pin"

Browsing. you can browse by Searching in the search bar - lets say you are looking for a recipe... type in "recipes" - or "chicken" or "chocolate" or whatever.
- you can also browse by the links at the top of the page, whether you just want to look at stuff from people you follow, stuff in certain categories or videos, or whats popular or gifts.

I love pinterest. i really do have lots of fun with it, I have a ton of ideas, from it, just a matter of actually doing it.

Awakening - Chris Tomlin ASL


Awakening - Chris Tomlin
I have a new youtube video up
- Of Awakening by Chris Tomlin. This was a spur of the moment thing for me
to video--- I was listening to it, realized i didnt have it on my youtube, so
decided to just go ahead, sign it, and put it up. Something that has
been on my heart is that it seems like more often people's hearts and souls just
go dorment, like nothing really affects them, and they just become "asleep" to
things... But we need to wake up... Wake up to God is telling us. We have to be
obedient, its hard to be obedient when you arent focused on Christ and not
having a Christ-Centered Life. --- Heres the video,

New Coat

I want to brag just a little bit...
Last week i bought a coat... online... I am now very much into this whole "Buying things online" bit... really is so easy, get on there, click click click... then few days later its at your house... on the doorstep...
So i had been wanting a good coat, a nice warm coat, with some kind of lining, but looked nice, but not too nice... anyways i had specifics... I had been glancing around the stores... but no luck... (i also had a budget too..)
So I was on Amazon ordering Christmas gifts, and spotted "The Jacket"--- Its a Dickies Jacket with sherpa lining. I put it in my "wishlist"- basically if no one got it for me for christmas, then i was going to get it myself, so i did.- it arrived a few days ago, and i dont want to take it off, it is so incredibly warm, i wish I had some kind of sweatshirt or something i can wear around the house with that lining... anyways... It was a wonderful price $24.99, it came to my house in like 3 days, it was exactly as i wanted and everything. Im a very happy camper now. :)
anyways--- i just wanted to tell everyone about my great experience...

California here I come

Just over a month ago, Steves Aunt called him, ( i was in the room and heard the conversation) but she called Steve, to inform him that his girlfriend (me) is invited to Thanksgiving. --- Steve was i guess shocked and very surprised that this was the case, his girlfriend whom hed been dating for only a few months was invited to Thanksgiving, in california to meet all of the fam.

-He was not expecting that whatsoever, he anticipated maybe me going out there sometime next year, but not for thankgiving...

so he talked to her for just a minute, and then got off the phone and asked me if that is something id like to do/can do etc... I told him i'd LOVE to go to california... I would have to just figure out if days would need to be taken off to go..

we talked about it on and off througout the evening, and wondering if that was in fact true that I was actually invited or if she was just saying that...so a few days later, he called his brother to see if in fact i was invited. (he couldnt call his parents at the time) so his brother did say that i definitely was invited, and he was surprised that their mom and dad didnt invite sooner. --- so.... yeah..

So sure enough... Im going to California. I feel so honored to be going... since they invited me and just its just a big deal. :) I have met most of his immediate family already, i've met his parents, and i've met his older brother and his fiance. :) so just need to meet his little brother, and then there will be the whole extended family. :) im so excited to meet and see everyone. :)

Plus this will be my 3rd time flying, so this will be fun. :) and to somewhere that i've never been to. :) and its really pretty there :) i really really cant wait. :)

I cannot believe thanksgiving is already here, this month or so has gone by so incredibly fast. seems like just last week that he was talking to his aunt. J 

Tonight I begin my packing and getting everything ready for Wednesday J  I cant wait.
