Broken Vows

There are times in my life when I come across current trends, and even though everyone is doing it, I decide many of them are not for me. I may even decide it is completely ridiculous, so I vow I will never do it. I can think of many times that I have done this, actually. But then something funny happens. For various reasons, I begin to warm up to the idea...and eventually I join in on some of these trends.

Examples:

• The Twilight Books sounded pretty ridiculous to me. I vowed I would never read them. I held strong for 2 years while friends, family and roommates obsessed over these books and tried to convince me to read them. Then one day, I caved. I read them and saw the movies...and am pretty dang excited for the last film to come out next month ☺
• I thought of blogging as a Mormon mom trend to show off pictures of their little darlings, family trips and successfully cooked dinners and stay connected with family and friends. Obviously not my thing. Then 2 years ago, I saw how it could also be a great outlet for me and began posting away. It quickly became a favorite hobby of mine.
• The 80's clothing styles are coming back. YIKES!! I sure did vow that I'd never wear those colored jeans. *Ahem* I bought some over the summer...and I love them. However, I still vow to never wear those floral jeans. Or any of the printed ones for that matter. Except for maybe those polka dotted ones...

So what's my latest broken vow? Pinterest. I vowed I'd never join. How I perceived Pinterest was mostly Pins about crafts and recipes. I'm not into crafts and I'm not much into cooking these days, either. Then a few months ago, I started clicking on the links you guys posted to Facebook. Some of them looked pretty funny or interesting. Then I clicked on other Pins...and other Pins...
I discovered there are tons of Pins that I am interested in! So I began to warm up to the idea more, until finally...I did it.
Folks, I now have a Pinterest Account. I don't know what to say for myself.
Except Happy Pinning to ME ☺

Here's a new vow I don't see myself ever breaking:
Does anyone like the current Robin Scherbatsky fashion? I used to like her clothes, but these last couple seasons of How I Met Your Mother, she's been wearing those loose, airy, button-up blouses.
I'm seeing those EVERYWHERE in the stores now. They look too masculine for my taste.
I vow to never accept that fashion trend.
