10 Stubborn Food Myths that Just Won’t Die  | LifeHacker | Please don’t freeze your coffee beans!

Expensive People  |  Inward/Outward  |  My friend sent me this post and, in turn, saved my mental health.

My Indonesian students’ thoughts on 9/11  |  Danielle and Brandon’s Adventures Indonesia  |  My friends are teaching in Indonesia and their entire blog is fascinating, but I found this post particularly interesting. (Especially in light of the fact I was in Malaysia during 9/11.)

    GORGEOUS picture, Ash! I love the colors. <3 Also, thank you for these finds. As for the "Expensive People" link, that basically is perfect for how Jen and I feel around her dad and how I feel whenever I'm talking with my sisters. I will definitely be reading more, as well as all of the comments!!!

    Thanks for the link to Indonesian’s thoughts on 9/11. As a Canadian it obviously hit A LOT closer to home for me than it did for people in places like Indonesia, but not as close to home as it did for many Americans. I find the theme of “revenge” throughout those responses especially interesting. In North America we often forget to think about what OTHER countries and people’s perspectives might be on things like that and just assume ours is the way everyone feels. Clearly not true at all.

    Happy Friday!

      Thanks for it – I loved how you said it’s something you can’t really prepare anyone for or explain to them, it’s just a mama boot camp! :)
