I’m curious to know what your 3½ Time-Outs are this week, and so is Larry D over at Acts of The Apostasy. So please come up with something – anything, and then post it for the rest of us to see!

I’m one of those people who uses Instagram routinely (though I forgo the photo-sharing, social media aspect of the app). Why? Because I realized a long time ago that unless I had a really nice camera and an understanding of how to use it, most of the pictures I take just aren’t that good. They never capture the moment as I recall it in my mind, anyway.
Until Instagram.
Whenever I use an Instagram filter on one of my pics, the result is sentimental. Every. Time. Sentimental! Like take these for example:

And sometimes I’ll even take older photos that I really like, but that don’t seem quite sentimental-looking enough, and I’ll put a filter on them too. And the result… you guessed it. So SENTIMENTAL!!

Instagram even makes completely random crap look totally sentimental. Like take this group of acorns:
BAM! Sentimental.
Or this poor old, lonely flip flop:
Awww, gotta have some sort of sentimental value…
Yep, that’s right. This lint roller is precious to me. You might even call it sentimental.

But it’s true; there are images in this world that actually can’t be made sentimental – even by the likes of Instagram. Such as:

Yep… I made you scroll for this.
That bear & a bunny rabbit were taking a dump in the woods.. the bear asked the bunny if crap stuck to his fur when he pooped & the bunny said, “No”. So the bear grabbed the bunny & wiped his butt with him. End of story. I dunno.. seeing that bear just reminded me of that.
Haha! Good one.
I know, welcome to my 4th grader blog, right?
Ha ha ha! That’s really funny!
Is that your piano? I have a Sojin baby grand – if we were neighbors, they could have play dates!
Oh man, I wish! Although I can’t play at all. No, this one resides in a beautiful old hotel we visited.
Love it! Everything seems cooler in Instagram. I take lots of pictures of my food, and I feel like a super-duper foodie blogger when I share ‘em thru The Gram.
YES! I’ve done the food pics before too! Desserts always look particularly lovely.
I’m also loving Instagram, though I don’t usually share pics.
yes Kim, the instagram is great, makes random stuff look good!
