Totally Awesome Timesuck

I know I don’t usually post on Saturdays, but I had to share this with you all!

First off, you know what the word timesuck means right?  It’s the name I give to anything that sucks up my time that is not completely vital or super important in my life but is still totally awesome.  Examples:  Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Television (namely reality television because Vampire Diaries is obviously super important so it doesn’t exactly qualify as a timesuck).  These things take up lots of time and can be little black holes in your day if you’re not careful.

So, I usually give myself a time limit.  That helps me manage my timesucking activities pretty well.  Except for yesterday morning.  I sat down to read a few blogs, knowing full well that I had just a half hour to read before getting ready to go to the gym.  I stopped over at Beth’s (Home Stories A to Z), and that’s when it happened.  I read this post about how to create a Facebook timeline cover photo and my time limit went completely out the window.  Look at how cute hers is!!!

I had to create one for my page right then, didn’t I?  The actual “creating” didn’t take long at all.  Beth’s instructions are easy to follow (as are all of her tutorials – she really does a great job explaining things), and I could have made the photo, uploaded it, and went on to the gym.  Instead I played around for longer than I should have, but the end result is really fun.  And I did get to the gym……….eventually.
