BuzzFeed.com put together a great group of inspiring quotes from Graduation speeches and I just had to share.  I always get so weepy this time of year, remembering what it was like to graduate.  I had the opportunity to give a grad speech as the President of my senior class.  Now, as a parent of 3 great kids, I'm even more overwhelmed with the thoughts of seeing my babies turn that tassel! 

Here are some other beautiful quotes from people much smarter and far more insighteful than I:

The "twist" in this season's Bachelorette has me completely weirded out.  Did you watch last night? 

Here's the back story on the newest Bachelorette:

Meet Emily Maynard. She has one of those stories that you wouldn’t believe unless it was repeated ad nauseum on television, which, luckily, it has been. She was engaged to NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick, the scion of an illustrious NASCAR family, who was killed in a plane crash on his way to a race in October 2004. A week after his death she found out she was pregnant with their daughter. She is now a brittle and beautiful 26-year-old single mother with big eyes and a sad smile. So yeah, she’s made for reality television. Enter The Bachelor‘s Brad Womack who plucked Emily from a crop of crazies to be his beloved bride. The engagement lasted a few months. Emily claims she was in love with Brad, but the guy was a tool with a chiseled jaw and she seems like a nice girl easily susceptible to suggestion. Now Emily has been coerced into being The Bachelorette, because that is the only option for single mothers, because it is the only dating service that comes with free babysitting. (TIME)

So, with all that explained for you, apparently Miss Maynard is looking for a "Father Figure" for her daughter.

Host Chris Harrison explains why this new "twist" is such a good idea:

"You're not just trying to win her heart, you're moving in as family," said Harrison. "She's really looking for a dad, or at a least a father figure for her daughter Ricky. Her life isn't -- I'm a dad, I know this -- life isn't sexy all the time. It's not all lingerie, hot tubs and helicopters. It's soccer practice, being thrown up on at 3 in the morning. It's not always pretty. It's not all 5-star restaurants, it's grabbing a quick dinner and trying to get your kid to bed." (ABC)

OK, I sort of get it.  Wait, NO. No, I don't.  She's already done this once and it didn't work out!  So, for some reason, she thinks it's a good idea to put her kid through this again??  She seems like a very sweet lady, but does anyone else think she seems a tad selfish?

Are you kidding me?

Finland has just opened the first official Angry Birds-theme park!

Last September, an unauthorized attraction in China opened allowing visitors to use the game's famous slingshot to knock off pigs in an elaborate structure. In December, it was announced that Finland would open at least two playgrounds for children based on the game.

The new park, called Särkänniemi Adventure Park, is the first official park based on the game. There are twelve rides at the park, including a roller coaster, a lighthouse and an adventure course, along with themed food areas, the Daily News reports.

Visitors can also play the game on screens throughout the park, the official opening of which is slated for June 8.

Jimmy Fallon showed the cover artwork for his new comedy album, due out in June, on his show last night.

"I don't even remember taking this photo at all," cracked Fallon, holding up a copy of the record featuring a strategically placed release-date sticker. "It's just a guy relaxing at home. He has a nice glass of wine. … Started listening to the album and his pants blew off."

"I don't know if this is my butt or a stunt butt," Fallon, 37, added. "It's like the Mona Lisa of album covers."

I freaking love this guy. LOL

Planning a feast with Guacamole this weekend??  Of course you are!  Well, I have some great news...

Break out the maracas and bongos and celebrate: Avocados are good for you. Half of an avocado is 160 calories. It contains 15 grams of unsaturated fat, just 2 grams of saturated fat and has no cholesterol. “Although it is high in fat, it is coming from a healthy source,” Veri said.

Unsaturated fat—like polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats found in nuts, seeds, olives, vegetable oils and avocados—are considered to be heart-healthy fats because they help to lower bad or LDL cholesterol. Saturated fats such as those found in animal products, full-fat dairy products and processed foods are unhealthy because they increase bad cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease.
