Recently Potato Chips
After three months and 3.8 million suggestions, the contest for the next Lay’s potato chip flavor is down to three candidates:
Cheesy Garlic Bread, Chicken and Waffles, and Sriracha.
Following a trial period of taste-testing, the last standing flavor will be put to vote in May on Facebook and Twitter and the person behind the winning proposal will earn $1 million dollars or one percent of the chip’s 2013 sales. Um, yes.

3 Things Your Little Girl Needs From You That You May Not Realize by Joyce McFadden. “You may think she’s too young to start learning about sex, but she’s already learning whether you think she is or not. Every day, she’s absorbing how the world around her sees female sexuality and the female body, and it will inform the teen and woman she’ll become.” (Every parent should read this article) (Thanks Suzie)

Happy Friday.

I so identified with the youth group link. I lived for seeing my crush at events. Heh. I also had a purity ring and wore it until my wedding day. I think I identified with every item on that list in one way or another!
Ha! I just wanted to say that I love your “i don’t run” attitude. I’m totally a walker and not a runner myself.
Last year, my finace and I lived in a little town that had the most obnoxious, unhealthy relationship with running. EVERYONE ran. And if you didn’t run you were basically not cool. Needless to say we were both very much so not cool. I’m all about supporting runners as long as they don’t try to guilt me into joining. Which they did. Constantly. So eventually I ended up finding this gem and putting it on our car. Oh the looks we got. It was glorious:

P.S: Love your blog!
ummm fiance. oops.
I need one of those!
Hahah… I need one of those too. Amazing.
That article about little girls and sexuality is scaring the heck out of me! I worry about teaching the anatomy with out teaching the respect for those parts. If saying vagina is the same as saying elbow kids will think its just as okay to have someone touch one as it is to touch the other. . . Deep thoughts for a Friday morning!
Very interesting discussion!
THANK YOU for posting the article “On Seeing Lena Dunham Naked”. Out of all the pieces I’ve read this week about that episode of Girls (some academic, some downright offensive), this was the one I related to the most. It really hit home.
Agreed.
Emmylou and Mark Knopfler – so good. Do you know ‘This is Us’ by them?? It’s so good.
Yes! I’m obsessed with them.
