Are you sick of Pinterest yet?

I'm really appalled at a lot of the stuff I find on Pinterest these days.  Just this morning, there was a "bubblegum slushy", s'mores every which way, and more diet ideas than you can shake a stick at.  Yesterday at the gym, someone said they'd seen this idea "on Pinterest" that was just genius.  I mean, "incredible!".  It was (are you ready for this?), mixing chocolate and marshmallow together and dipping your graham crackers into it.  It would eliminate so much mess, she said.  "Like…a…dip?", someone asked.  "YES! Like a dip!"  They all thought that was just the best thing ever.

These are the same people who thought I was the instructor after I told them I wasn't.

So, what we've all feared has finally happened:  the general population has found Pinterest and now everyday conversations will never be the same.  It only took 4-ish years.

Lately I've been using Pinterest to find decorating ideas.

An antiqued pantry door?

Teaching ideas.

That's not my classroom, but I plan on something similar.

And amusing things.
What not to do if you're a teacher

Maybe someday, I'll be lucky and stumble across that OMG-AMAZING dip recipe that those ladies were talking about.
