6 Ways To Help Haiti →
Haiti already deserved our humanitarian efforts before the 7.0 earthquake that knocked over hospitals, leveled their government buildings and killed an unmeasurable number of people yesterday. You can donate as little as $5 just by sending a short text message.
5 minutes and 5 dollars isn’t a big deal to us, but will mean the world to a country in the middle of a massive natural disaster.
Just for the record
Although I currently use it occasionally, I still loathe Twitter. I’ve never met a website so incredibly difficult to log into that it takes me more than 2 tries every time, even when I have the username/password combo correct.

You Know You're Getting Old
When you get 6 gifts for Christmas & one of them is a Bed Bath & Beyond gift card.
When you are actually pretty excited about the BB&B gift card rather than disappointed by it.
When you can’t think of anything to use it for because you already own whatever big-girl house stuff you need & shockingly, most of it isn’t mismatched college crap.
When you consult with your...
I'm an aunt today!
My step-brother Mike’s wife Allison just gave birth to their daughter, Savannah, this morning! No photos yet, sorry. My dad says she’s the cutest ever (besides me, duh) and he’s usually a pretty good judge of these things.
Welcome to the world, little baby!
DIY: Make your gloves touchscreen compatible
drintelmann:
This is a project that I think I need to do with my gloves.
I actually did this about 3 weeks ago. I don’t know what in the hell to do with the rest of the $24 spool of thread, but other than that it’s AWESOME. Let me know if you want a half yard of thread.
edit: I guess I should say that you’ll need about a half yard to thoroughly do one finger. Multiply that...
