Going Viral

It's been relatively quiet around here this week as we recover from the V-day festivities and begin the slow countdown to spring break.  I've kept the house relatively clean, stayed on the top of the laundry and even gotten a few jaunts on the treadmill.
For those of you about ready to click on over to Pinterest because you aren't interested in my gloating, please wait.  This is not my opportunity to brag about my accomplishments, rather it is an opportunity for me to rationalize the unhealthy amount of time I've wasted on the internet this week.

I've wasted a LOT of time on the internet this week. 

There, I said it.  And one of the biggest things I have noticed is the abundance of memes (small pictures imitating social or popular cultural behaviors) and humorous images plastering the walls of Pinterest and Facebook.

None of them really pertain to me, however.  So on this slow Friday, I thought I would contribute to the phenomenon and create a few of my own.






What about you?  Have you noticed this new phenomenon?  Have you made any yourself?  Are you lusting over Ryan Gosling?  I'll be enjoying a lazy weekend and I hope yours will be great also.  Or are you planning to play some "Bejeweled"?  I hear it's addictive...

    1. I love those too! I had to laugh when I got an email from Joel this afternoon that just said, "Ryan Gosling, huh?"

  2. I think you saw mine on the Cornell meme page, about lip sync and the Newts. I've created two, and have too many ideas for others. Can't waste any more time on them though, I just don't have the time to waste! :) I love your stay-at-home mom one though! I've been looking for that one!! - Tasha
