1. I'm not sure which paper this was in so I can't link the story but it's a good one. The Westboro Baptist "church" (the imbeciles that picket military funerals) filed a petition to picket Vassar college next week for some reason only known to the crazies in the church. When the campus found out, an enterprising student decided to take to twitter and counter-fundraise in honor of the Trevor Project. She had hoped to raise $100 for each of the 48 minutes that Westboro would be at the school. At this time, they've raised over $40,000! I love that it seems that the hate these people are spewing, is seemingly always drowned out by love and compassion.
2. Matt Birk: He's not a Ravens name you hear quite often but he's most definitely one of my favorites. He's a Harvard grad, a dad to 6 kids and a huge influence on children's charities. He's a fantastic human being and was an inspiring Raven. He announced his retirement today after 15 seasons in the NFL. As much as I'll miss him on the team, I can only imagine what amazing things he's going to do with his charity.
3. Primo Pasta Kitchen: Gotta love new restaurants! And when it's in my area, it makes me even happier. This place was a complete shock. For such a small place, it packs a big punch. The food was delicious and the service spectacular. I will most definitely be back soon.
4. Characters Unite: I absolutely love this campaign. It promotes differences and what makes us all unique, while focusing on what we should never stand for.
5. Pinterest find: Too too cute!
