The Dark Side

I have been on a high horse for awhile lately regarding a certain website called Pintrest (you may have heard of it).  Whenever this site has been mentioned in a conversation I'm having, my end of the conversation would go a little something like this: 

Friend/Colleague/Lady at the Grocery Store/etc: "I saw it on Pintrest!" 
Me: "Oh, I haven't joined that site.   I refuse to.  I don't need one more thing on the internet to suck my time and become a distraction.  I spend too much time on the computer as it is." 

Insufferable, right?  Well, the problem with high horses is that once you're on one, it's a long way down.  Of course, after months and months of saying I was not going to join Pintrest for one of many reasons, something happened to make me rethink my position.  I came across a little page called "Specifically Articulation".  I saw idea after idea for articulation therapy, and this is how my inner monologue sounded:

Oh, that's a good idea!  
I can print these off for free? 
I never would have thought of that!
I wonder if I can find ideas for language therapy...
or maybe fluency!  
There are so many things here, I can't look at them all right now!
Crap.  I have to join Pintrest.  

I think my coworker may have been a bit baffled when I looked up from my computer screen and said, with a resigned sigh, "Can you invite me to join Pintrest?".  Then she proceeded to gloat over my inevitable downfall and send me the invitation.

I have now been on Pintrest for a little over 24 hours, and have "pinned" recipes, ideas for school, and a few fun things for Cadence.  I have officially been converted to the dark side.
