Great TED talk about introverts and what they have to offer the world. I thought I'd share this video with you all since I think many of us are on the introverted side.

I Want a Girl Who Reads

Ironic

My one and only younger brother is graduating high school this weekend, and apparently he decided to go out with a bang, by doing a cover of Bo Burnham's Ironic at the school talent show.  I know the song can be a little offensive, especially the original version, but it's all in fun, and I just had to share this!  

Why I love Wikipedia

Because it's always sharing knowledge in new ways, and it's not creepy like facebook.

I'm just so excited to have a million free pictures to use...

I am legitimately upset by this ad campaign.

The summation of how a woman feels when having sex is apparently horny, lustful, heavenly, and orgasmic.  And while giving a blowjob she is apparently pleased, satisfied, happy, and finds it tasty. 
All this while a man is simply feeling muscle tension, sensory overload, and intelligence...

It is bad enough that there are underwear, cologne, and car advertisements that show women as overly sexual creatures who undress at the drop of a hat, but to lower the female experience to this point really astounds me. 

I know this is a rather risque first post, but I know you are all women who care about women's rights and the development of gender equality so I wanted to share it with you.

Hi friends!

I already invited you all to this in the form of a facebook event, but I wanted to put it out there again to encourage you to donate! I know we're sort of starving recent graduates, but even inviting someone you know who you think might be interested and willing to donate would mean a lot. Basically, my organization here in South Africa works with rural farmers, teaching them how to farm organically, and then we buy their produce from them and sell it at retail prices. It's really hard work, but very rewarding. The project truly makes a big difference in the lives of the farmers who decide to be a part of it. Thank you in advance for your support; both prayer and finances are equally appreciated!

Chicken in Wine Sauce

This is a super easy recipe my mom used to make when I was a kid... It's perfect for a busy day, throw it in the crock pot in the morning and it's ready to eat when you get home from work!


Chicken -- I usually use breast meat and cube it into one inch pieces, but thigh meat is also tasty, so is chicken on the bone. I usually use one breast per person, which is enough with leftovers.
One can of condensed Cream of Mushroom soup 
One can of condensed Cream of Celery soup 
One cup of dry white wine (I usually use the cheap $3 bottles, and I usually use more than one cup)
Salt and Pepper to taste


Put it all and the crock pot, cook 8-10 hours on low or 4-6 on high.
Serve with rice or egg noodles.


Note: using reduced fat soup doesn't hurt the taste!
