Pinspiration and Puppy Hermitting Myself

I had a very lazy weekend, and it was amazing.  As I was dogsitting for a chocolate lab puppy, I had a very good excuse to stay in bed, read on the deck, and watch a Gossip Girl marathon.  After all, puppies need you to be there!  So I am there, and I gladly skip my workouts and social outings to be a puppy hermit.  Missing church was unexpected, but I like to say that I'm showing the pup God's love by snuggling through the service in my bed.

Normally laziness doesn't really result in great accomplishment, but this weekend I actually did quite a bit of thinking and planning.  No, I did not do the laundry or go grocery shopping; but I did start an account on Pinterest!  Furthermore, I spent hours pinning things and then making lists of great things I shall accomplish in the future.  My friend, Stevie, and I agree that Pinterest is a sort of free shopping...although it breeds an insane desire to go buy things, it also quells some of its own fire by letting you stare at and categorize pictures of your most forbidden (expensive) wants. 

My favorite Pinterest board is called "Curlies and Hairdos", and it is mainly future haircut inspiration (including things that I might never be brave enough to try).  It was a fabulous asset when I went to the salon this week, and I scrolled through haircuts with my cosmetologist.

Feeling computer savvy and crafty, I delved into my incomplete list of projects and finished two major pieces.  First, I mended my favorite sundress from Target (which I later wore to the pool).  Second, I finished my extremely slow-going glove dog (a stuffed animal made of gloves and inspired by the book Sock and Glove by Miyako Kanamori).  Minus the essentials, I was incredibly productive this weekend.
