Pin This

I just spent 20 minutes on the phone with Vicky trying to figure out my new Pinterest account..
son of a -
"Wait! Wait!  Why is Marth Smith showing up 50 times on my board?  She's a high school classmate..wait a minute..just a minute..that's Sally from work..no..no! This is Facebook! Stop! Stop!"
Dear Pinterest:
You had me at Pin.  I was so enthralled by your gorgeous coordinating outfits, DIY crafts that even a baffoon like me could tackle with a tuna can and llama hair, and those photos of organized closets?  OOOHHHH  I couldn't wait... I checked my e-mail every five minutes waiting for my e-vite.. I was going to pin pin pin..deep into the night while my children and husband slept.
But then... you dashed my dreams with your stupid link to Facebook. You pin-prick.
Don't you know who I am Pinterest?
I am one of the 26 people in the United States who refuses to become part of the "social networking age" because I will NOT learn that Aunt Gladys has passed away suddenly from my Blackberry Inbox..I will NOT get status updates from people I just left in the office..I will NOT be sucked into extra anxiety wondering if I should post more pictures with my status, less pictures with my status, change my pictures with my status..what are people thinking of my pictures and my status?
You almost had me Pinterest, but alas, I quit you before I even got started. Oh..you would have even helped me with quitting dammit! You would have been there with your cutesy  saying for my new hand-made fridge magnet made out of old tuna cans, melted crayons and llama hair that would have kept me going:  "Quit and You're Just a Big Fat Quitery Quiter" Oh! Whoever made that up is soooo brilliant..pin it!!!
But no...Goodbye to you.  Clever and Cool Pintrest, that I don't even spell right..Phooey!
So..hello Google!
I am sure you have heard of it.  Sometimes you can find a few bits of information there.
I don't know.
I guess it remains to be seen.
I know nothing can replace your corky quirky pin board.
But I guess I will just have to try.
I'll be in Big Fat Mournery Mourning for awhile..
Sincerely,
Unpinned and Almost 40
