Pinterest.

I think everyone should have a Pinterest account. It is so neat. I think it might be similar to StumbleUpon (which I only used for about 5 seconds about year ago, so I might be wrong). Basically, you set up your account, and you get this little "Pin it" button at the top of your browser.. while you are surfing the web, which is something I spend way too much time doing, you can pin photos of things you like to come back for later. It's kind of like a bookmark... But it also shares your pins with the rest of the internet, or, at least the rest of the people using pinterest. Usually I just look at whatever people have been pinning lately and I can blow a good 30 minutes finding cool craft ideas, clothes I want to buy, home decor ideas, or... whatever else is out there, like this cat for example:

Pinterest is really cool. It was using Pinterest that I found how to insert my own navigation bar at the top of this blog. Fancy, huh? Actually, I didn't do a great job at it.. but it's slightly time consuming and after I completed it I kind of didn't want to start all over. I will probably fix it one day... but not today.

Here are a few other things I found on Pinterest that I thought were neat:


this cool idea for an office:

this owl craft idea:

and this yummy looking slow roasted BLT sandwich recipe:

festivities

After living here in Germany for over a year (minus a little detour), I'm still trying to figure out how to handle myself during a German fest.



They close off all the roads in town and everyone just sits around and drinks beer and eats German food all day for 3 days. Even though I try and keep up, I just can't! Neither can Matt. 



Regardless, it was fun.

random crap.

Some recent instagram randomness:
























Ijust realized all but one of those were taken in the car, I guess I'm most likely to get bored in there.


Speaking of things happening in a car, If you are interested in seeing what driving down the autobahn at 100mph looks like, check out this video. Although, I must warn you, it's not as crazy as it seems (in the video or in real life). Just regular ol' highway driving...


Also, today is the first day of the Kiliani fest in the town we live in! It's a 3 day festival with live music, renaissance shows, and all the brats mit brotchen you can eat.  Last year we had so much fun! The fest and the world cup were going on so it was complete chaos, and I loved it. Hopefully this year will be fun as well.

Also also, I'm half way through with my first class in my Web Design degree, and I had to make a "pun" as my second project in photoshop. We had a list of things to choose from, I chose deviled eggs. Although I would never normally make something like this, I thought my eggs were cute. The project had to have certain components in it in order to receive full credit, or else I would have made it much cuter.
