"Now what is that name of this little eye hook thingy? I
better google it to be sure.” I open an internet browser, which is already open
to Pinterest.
“Oooh Pinterest, what’s new tonight? Oh wow, Centsational
Girl pinned something about using a dryer sheet to clean an iron. I really need
to clean my iron because my attempt to use the cool setting on a wool sweater
just melted wool fibers to my iron and made it all gunky, but I’ve been too
lazy to actually clean it so I just rub it on a far away place on my ironing
board to get anything loose off and then roll the dice and put it on my
clothes. I really need to get that sweater dry cleaned before winter is really
over and I have no chance of wearing it again and then I’ll have only worn it
twice this year.”
“Oh wow, a pink chalkboard painted door! See, pink can be girly and playful and grownup and sophisticated all at the same time! I'm totally glad I painted that dresser for our TV pink. What is this blog? I’ve never heard of this blog. Why haven’t I heard of this blog? Why is it at a .org website? I should read the “about me” section and maybe it will make sense. Hmmm, it doesn’t say anything about .org. Oh well. There are no ads on it, but it still seems popular. Interesting. Hey, there’s a recipe for donuts on here that doesn’t require frying. Yum. I bet I could make those. Hey they have apple cider vinegar in them. Does that mean they’re like apple cider donuts? I loved those ones at Carter Mountain Orchard. I should go back there again.”
“Why is so much wedding stuff coming up on my Pinterest? If
the boy saw this page he would be thoroughly freaked out. Oh dear, it looks like I inadvertently
followed a website that is totally about weddings but I thought it was
about all kinds of things because it doesn’t have a wedding specific name. Oh
well, they have cute cocktails. Not that I ever actually make cocktails because
they tend to be pricey and involve more work than I like my drinking to
involve. This is making me thirsty.”
“Ooooh Photoshop actions. Those look cool. Why do I still
not really know what those are? Maybe this link will show me. Nope, it doesn’t
really. I think it’s like a Macro. But how does it work on everything? I should
download some of these actions. No, I really shouldn’t tonight, I’ll just repin
the pin.”
“Omgosh, it's after midnight already. How am I up this late again? I really need to get back to my blogging. I have to finish this post tonight. I better
close this browser and write more.”
Close internet browser, open word document and read sentence
I was originally attempting to complete.
“Oh yeah, I was going to look up the name for that hardware.”
Open up browser and cross my fingers that my attention span
is a little bit longer this time. But it’s not, because instead, I just
realized how ridiculous it is that this happens to me all the time, and I
decided to write this blog post about it.
Grow up, Sarah.
Sarah, this is SO me. Have you heard of Anti-Social or Freedoom? I've been using it and it's definitely helped me (although not today!). :) See this article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/apr/11/internet-google
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh so much. This is pretty much my exact train of thought when I hang out on Pinterest and the reason why I never get anything done! Don't you just feel all creative after you've been on Pinterest for a while though? I know I do!
ReplyDeleteThese jewelries are perfect for summer and perfectly fit almost all outfits. Their originality come firstly from the unique materials from which its are made. This is not an easy work, but if you do it with passion you come up with such amazing jewelries.
