Aww crap. We discover Mr. Quirky is Pinteresty*.

A night with girlfriends and wine.

There’s nothing wrong with that.

Discovering your husband is Pinteresty? Now that’s a problem.

Earlier this week, I made it clear that according to Pinterest, I fall well below the bar on innovations around the home.

After a few glasses of wine with my girlfriends, I discovered, Mr. Quirky has been secretly trying to raise the bar in Quirkyville. Damn him!

This is how it went down.

Friend number one was trying to leave, but she couldn’t find her keys. Friend number two went on a key-finding excursion.

I stayed put and drank more wine, because that’s the type of hostess I am.

Friend number two was not coming up with any lost keys, but she did think it was clever to have a shoe organizer on the main floor. Only when she looked in the shoe cubbies, she discovered….the shoe holder was not keeping the Quirky family shoes organized.

The clever Mr. Quirky turned a shoe organizer into a remote control organizer.

And just like that, he became Pinteresty right under my nose.

I almost panicked and started looking for an old Lysol Wipes container to start filling with expertly rolled Target bags, but I stopped myself.

Because I can’t compete with that kind of home storage innovation.

And because there was wine to drink.

Meanwhile Friend number two was confirming that the remote controls did not go on one’s feet. While Friend number one still didn’t have keys. (We found them minutes later.)

This morning, I got up and stared at it.

It’s so stinking clever! How on earth did the Quirky’s end up with a Pinteresty storage solution?

I determined it had to be a fluke. It’s the only explanation. And suddenly everything was right in our world again.

Only I might have to put a pair of shoes in there…just in case.

*Pinteresty- Queen of Quirky’s word for a person who can take ordinary items and use them in a clever or crafty way they were not intended for, in order to create an efficiency or attractive solution for the home. A Pinteresty person would then share their ingenuity on the social bulletin board, Pinterest.com. In a sentence: Queen of Quirky is not Pinteresty.
