Help?
Anyone out there intersted in helping with editing for my thesis. I need people that can catch grammer mistakes or even tell me that something just doesn't make sense. Please don't feel that you have to commit to the entire work....it's long. Even if you would be willing to glance at 5 pages, that would ROCK! Let me know!

Damaging language
Listen up:
The rate at which students use and hear negative language about lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) people is huge. Over half of all students report hearing homophobic remarks often at school.
A lot of anti-LGBT language is said carelessly, and isn’t intended as negative or hurtful. Understand what you’re saying, and think about the potential consequences of the words you choose.
While I completely support the whole freedom of speech thing, I don't think that it's ok to say things that are very hurtful. It's especially wrong to allow children to grow up thinking that it's ok. Check out this webpage, it's pretty awesome. They have started doing commercials on tv as well.

Here's a pic I took today. It's a building downtown around the Copley area. I had N all day and we took a REALLY long walk this afternoon and enjoyed the sunshine. Well, actually I walked and he rode on me in the Bjorn. That is quite the workout! This pic was taken walking to the T after leaving him.

Rock Star
The top shot is from our snuggle Friday night where Lars fell asleep holding my hand. I was not far behind him. Check out the new hat! Majorly cheap find in the Gap clearance. I tried to resist, but couldn't. How handsome is he?!

Exploring
Lars and I took a trip to A.C. Moore on Friday after our visits with Alice. There are so many things to feel there! Here's Lars with different flowers, showing that he can explore while chewing on bummpy, and feeling stamps!
DIY
I saw this and thought it was AWESOME! Yes, you too can make your own fabric softner. This is awesome because you know and can control what goes it. And it's cheap!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup baking soda
6 cups distilled white vinegar
8 cups water
DIRECTIONS
1 You will need a one gallon container.
2 First add the baking soda to the plastic container.
3 Next add 1 cup of water to start with.
4 Slowly add the vinegar to the bottle as the vinegar and baking soda will start to fizz.
5 Then add the rest of the water swirling around & cover venting the top a few times.
*Add 1 cup in your final rinse cycle for each load
My favorite part is that it is SMELL-LESS! If you like, you can add a few drops of essential oils if you just have to have it smelly. It is easy on the environment and keeps those rotten chemicals off of your skin and clothes. Let me know if you try it!
