P.S. I am over my Pinterest Addiction

Monday, February 20th, 2012

I am over my Pinterest addiction.  No intervention was necessary.  It was a natural progression.

Pinterest Board for "Trending"

A Pinterest Board about "Trending"

 

January 26, 2012 – … and I am a Pinterest Addict

February 1, 2012 – Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit Pinterest Edition

I still like Pinterest.  It’s just not as interesting to me as it was a couple of weeks ago.  I’m not quitting Pinterest. I am not taking down my boards.  It is funny to watch people swear off Pinterest.  And to try to get others to swear off Pinterest.  I am not trying to discourage you from trying Pinterest. Or loving Pinterest.

Standing  in line at the Lennox Movie Theater recently a 20 something (I am guessing) girl was making fun of a girl she was with having “Pinterest hair.”  The hair style was cute. It did reek of Pinterest.

Next?

Happy 200th Birthday Columbus

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

Yes, it’s Valentines Day and I could just post an old Real Living Valentine’s Day card… but how often does a city celebrate it’s 200th birthday?

Did you ever even realize that Valentine’s Day was Columbus birthday?  Did we know that last year on Valentine’s Day that the city was 199 years old?

Happy Valentine’s Day too.

CbusHomeSearch.com is NOT Real Living E Team

Monday, February 13th, 2012

The domain “CbusHomeSearch.com” is NOT  Real Living E Team.* 

 

CbusHomeSearch.com  is going directly to the Columbus Ohio home search on my Real Living HER website.

Real Living E Team Maureen McCabe page Not Active

Real Living E Team Maureen McCabe Page "Not Active"

The domain that used to go to a Real Living E Team page where a consumer had to sign in to search (kind of…. ) is leading directly to the Real Living HER search page on my website that does not require a sign in.   The “CbusHomeSearch.com” domain always lead to the Columbus home search page on my Real Living  HER website but it went through a page that required “sign-in” (sort of. )

 

Real Living HER E Team page no longer active

Real Living E Team Page Not Active

*The page I used for about 28 months was a Real Living E Team page but I was only on the Real Living E Team for a month.  I was just renting the long hairy url,  the page with my name on the upper corner and a bit more.

No more.

CbusHomeSearch.com is NOT that anymore.

Worthington’s First Friday – February

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

Blue Frost Cupcake and Worthington Hardware, High St, Worthington, Ohio

Blue Frost Cupcake and Worthington Hardware

Worthington’s First Friday is one of ‘365 Things to do in Columbus, Ohio.‘  Or twelve things to do throughout the year, if you look at the “downtown” Worthington event that way.  Tonight is the First Friday event in Worthington for February. The idea is to “Eat, Drink and Play” on High Street in Old Worthington. Since it is February there is a wine and chocolate theme. Valentine’s Day is coming up quick.

More Wine

Great Worthin

Emlolly Candy on High St. Worthington Ohio

Emlolly Candy

gton places for wine? Worthington Inn, House Wine, La Chatelaine, Rivage Atlantique. I suppose Old Bag of Nails and P.K. O’Rhyan sell wine too.

Premium Chocolate

Chocolate? Worthington is home to Emlolly Candy*. Graeter’s Ice Cream* is always a great place for chocolate chunks in your ice cream. I suppose the restaurants may have some special

chocolate desserts for First Friday too. Blue Frost Cupcake* surely has some delish chocolate cupcakes.

Free Chocolate (limited quantities)

Other businesses may  treat you to free chocolate… at least Real Living HER (681 High Street, Worthington Ohio) is doing free chocolate… Stop by, say hi… well you will not be able to say hi to me. I am not going to First Friday. I am boycotting the Real Living HER office now. It’s been hard to decide what to say about Worthington’s First Friday here or on my Worthington site since I believed I might not be at the February First Friday.

Will the other businesses treat shoppers to free chocolate?  Go and see.

Or maybe I will go to First Friday (but NOT Real Living HER since I am boycotting it) could be a cool event. Especially if it is warm this evening.

* A number of Worthington shops were NOT open for the January 2012 First Friday. There was spotty participation in October and November 2011 too. The restaurants in Worthington are open for these events  but some of the shops have not been open. With a theme and more organization in February surely, they will be open. We (Real Living HER) have to be open for events like this. We usually have coffee and cookies… for guests.  Well we just had coffee in November, when I alone kept the office open due to a lack of planning. Those first Fridays in a month can sneak up on you.

There are some great shops in Old Worthington including Pure Cottage, Damsels in this Dress, Fritzy Jacobs and more.  It is always interesting to shop at Worthington Hardware.  Hope they are open for the February First Friday.

Shop, Drink and Play in Worthington from 6:00 to 9:00 the First Friday of each month. The first First Friday was July 2011 before our office moved to Worthington. Our first First Friday as an office was October 2011.

365 Things to do in Columbus, Ohio

Other events… Saturday is the Gallery Hop in the Short North. What else is there to do this weekend in Columbus?

If you want to promote an event or business (a business that is a thing to do in Columbus Ohio, a fun thing in particular) please add it to the ’365 Things to do in Columbus, Ohio’ Facebook page. If it is a good fit, I will post it here.

Spring is around the corner for Columbus

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

According to Buckeye Chuck spring is around the corner.  Buckeye Chuck in Marion, Ohio did  not see his shadow!

This may come as no surprise but I do have a Groundhog Day Board on Pinterest.   The Real Living Groundhog Day ecard was the first image on that board.
