Pretty Your Pinterest With This New Photo Hack

I haven’t tried Pinterest yet but due to the massive online chatter about it lately, I’ll try to dig my airhead out of the sand, crawl out of the rock I’ve been under, exit my cave with its unique, festive hieroglyphic-covered interior wall design, and learn at least the basics (Remedial Pinterest Course: 099, or something).

In the meantime, y’all who are already up and running with this app/program/doohickey/whatever can start taking advantage of new ways such as this one with which to amuse yourselves.

I’ll catch up eventually—my inner geek is such a tyrant sometimes.

Boring post, unless you’re as bored as I am sitting here writing it

Last night in that in-between time between lying down in bed and actually falling asleep, I had my usual plethora of unrelated material floating through my brain.

I thought about:

  • sporks
  • Fargo, North Dakota (??)
  • how many photos I have taken I still have yet to post
  • the space-time continuum
  • spontaneous combustion
  • the dirty dishes
  • astral projection
  • my chronic fatigue
  • my ADD/OCD which are at odds with each other
  • my sons
  • my anxiety about relocating
  • post-nasal drip (just freaking come OUT already)
  • punching holes in random tacky inflatable yard displays
  • why can’t my brain just shut up? God!
  • a software programming book I still have to edit and subsequent guilt
  • how much I despise my in-laws
  • my inability to be online much lately
  • brain sludge (that groggy, “I can’t think” feeling)
  • grommets — hmm, what exactly IS a grommet?

After that, I was stuck. So I resolved to answer that today, which I did — and then some. I thought that someone who reads this may have one day also suddenly wondered, for no apparent reason, what a grommet is. To spare you the angst of not knowing, here is a grommet:

Along with more photos of grommets and their various uses on Google’s images page:

Multicolored

Tarp corner fastener

(Are you thrilled yet? Me too!!)

Grommet belt

No idea why this was on the images page for grommets, but I’m sharing anyway

Grommet pillow (wtf?)

Grommet boot

Grommet shoe by a fancy designer that likely costs more than my entire wardrobe

A web site (eyeroll) [click the image to get there]

…and for the TRULY dorky and/or curious, the grommet Wikipedia page.

Now I’m sick of them and if I did my job properly, you probably are, too. (Misery loves company and all that.)

At the very least, I’m probably one of very few people who has extensively posted on a personal page about such an insignificant, trivial topic.

What can I say? I like variety, and sometimes the mundane can be entertaining. It’s much better than posting about Newt Gingrich’s indiscretions, some newsy crap by a self-important Internet know-it-all about how to make money blogging (hint: don’t blog about grommets), or the new Princess Kate Middleton porcelain doll (God, am I glad they got married, finally, so we can all move on with our important lives and blog about grommets).

Cheers ;-)

Still here!

Just a proof of life post. I’m dealing with some pretty heavy stuff offline right now. Funny how things seem to all come up at the same time.

I’m beginning to smell a conspiracy.

I wish I could sit in a booth and tell every crisis to “take a number.” Then I’d swivel away in my comfy swivelly chair in my crisis-proof booth and proceed to ignore them all.

Kind of like a trip to the doctor’s or the DMV.

Still here, just haven’t had internet for the past week. Should have decent access in a day or so (due to all this moving and making family-related detours in the process). I’m also dealing with a rather severe case of Empty Nest syndrome, so along with all the chaos of relocating, etc., I’m having to adjust to a new family dynamic I’m just not ready for or very thrilled about (to put it mildly). In fact I’m such a closet sap (don’t hold that against me, here!) that I’ve been essentially a walking, blubbering, raw human nerve; so it’s probably best that I’ve not had internet lately. :-P~ In the meantime, I still have been amassing a fairly decent amount of crap— I mean, my usual, “exceptionally high-quality lameness” to share with y’all. Will get to that at my typically slothful pace. However, be afraid. Very. Afraid. This is heavy-duty lameness not for the faint of heart or the even mildly intelligent of mind. Or whatever. For now, love and warm-fuzzies, etc. (but don’t get too used to that, ha), EliseCaile ♥♥♥ ;-)

Educate yourselves on our planetary happenings!

Don’t be in the dark about this funky terrestrial ball we’re stuck on with dangerous, power-hungry morons, wars, human rights violations, secret government alliances and other stealthy doings, dissidence, conspiracies, worldwide poverty, etc. Also, make sure your nuclear war survival kit contains some sort of renewable form of toilet paper (remember: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)! :-D
