My New Obsession

Pinterest. I've heard of this website for a little while, but didn't know exactly what it was. I've also heard it was addictive and planned to stay away from it so I won't be wasting hours on the internet. Heh. Heh. Heh. My mom sent me an invite. I decided to try it to see what all the buzz was about. And.....

OH. MY.   

Yep, I'm obsessed. Pinterest is a little bit like Etsy, but I like Pinterest a lot better, mainly because you can "like" things on Pinterest instead of buying them, like on Etsy. You have a virtual "pinboard" on Pinterest; when you see something you like, you have the option to "re-pin" it to your board, comment, or like the post. It's great. I've found so many outfit ideas, dream kitchens, and cool crafts to try. If you're interested in seeing what Pinterest is all about, I can send you an invite. Just leave your email in the comments. I'm warning you though...DON'T BROWSE PINTEREST WHEN HUNGRY.

Dream Kitchens

     About a year ago, I became obsessed with kitchens. I would look through my aunt's copy of Southern Living Dream Houses and Kitchens and pick out my favorites. So, since I have a little bit of free time before Fall classes start, I decided to Google "dream kitchens". OH MY. All my favorites from Southern Living couldn't compare to this one. Here's a link: http://www.mainstreetdesignbuild.com/kitchen-remodeling-grosse-pointe-shores-michigan.asp Wood cabinets, a large island with lots of space, a water spigot over the stovetop, recessed ceiling lights, stainless steel appliances, a gas stove...*happy sigh*. I especially like the "shattered glass" cabinets. You can also see what the kitchen looked like before the renovation. WOW. 
     I know it's highly unlikely that I get this exact kitchen, but it's still fun to dream. I would loooove to have a gas stove, wood cabinets, a large island, and stainless steel appliances in my future kitchen, though. However, I'm satisfied with the tiny apartment kitchen that Caleb and I are fortunate to have.

A quick update

     The summer II semester at Alabama is almost over for me!!! My math exam is tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning and I'm DONE. I'll get about 2 weeks of downtime before starting my fall semester classes, which means I'll get to sleep in a little bit later that 7 o'clock Monday-Friday. Hooray!


I promise I'll write more later!!
