What are y'all up to today?
My cousin in the entertainment industry recently met her max on her facebook friends (she needs to create a fan page)
She is not at all political on her facebook, but she did ask today that "if you are anti-women, anti-LGBT, racist or a Trump support, please unfriend me" she said "My feed is a melange of friends & relatives news, strangers' babies and weird pro-gun stuff. Some shit has to go and I'd prefer to nix the Trumpet farts & racists first."
She did this in a nicer way, but still she has since been accused of being "anti-heterosexual", accused that she is in fact racist for posting this. Some of my favorite postings thus far:
"This is a shame. I really liked seeing your everyday life. You just lumped a group of people together in a negative way. Good luck with having a group of "friends" who all think like you do. Who is the intolerant one now? Goodbye" Her response: Mr. Trump never lumps groups of people together in a negative way, and thus I wish you two a prosperous online friendship.
And
"Interesting.....most racist are going to have no clue who you are. Additionally Racism is flawed because at anytime you think you deserve a superior treatment or accuse a person of racism you are now practicing racism! Your statement in itself is racist, anti heterosexual and judgmental.
You're a talented, smart being, and that is why I am a fan. To truly celebrate diversity you can't shame anyone."
Response: "To truly celebrate diversity I have to see the vacation pictures of strangers who wish to elect a pathological racist misogynist? Disagree. But take care!"
Going to a wedding today. DH will see all his old college friends and I will spend the day waiting impatiently for cake. Should A be good time for all!
Haircut this morning, after a slalom course to get out of my neighborhood as it is yardsale day and people just stop wherever they feel like it. Followed by errands and ordering my mum a new phone (Best Buy has the small 6s for $1 on Sprint w/ contract and she currently has the 5C with its frustrating camera.) We were supposed to get DH's car today, but the delivery was delayed.
Such a busy day! We started the day off with going to a baptism, then went to a birthday party, now we are about to head to a wedding. I'm crossing my fingers that my nap won't mess up my hair and makeup. Lol.

Oh and the VA is saying we owe them money since H went over his allotted active duty days for the year. He's a disabled vet (USMC) but is in the NG so the VA stops benefits temporarily to compensate for the active duty pay. This will be fun to figure out (sigh)
We did some house chores and Mr. P had some things to do with his aquaponics garden. Then he planted new strawberries. We are now on the couch eating Singapore street noodles and watching The Conjuring 2. Our idea of date night.

Update: it has gotten sufficiently awkward as some of my Trump supporting relatives have started to comment on the thread. She said specifically in the thread that family is different and they can agree to disagree...but one cousin in particular is now trying to "start shit" with some of her followers.
He is acting so fucking ignorant right now. Ughhhhhhh.

DH got off earlier than expected today so we were able to go out to lunch for my bday. I really wanted to do something outside, but it was so hot and humid with a chance of rain we decided not to risk it. We went to a gourmet burger joint, in a fancy shopping area, and the line was far out the door at 2pm! It was only about a 30 minute wait, so we stayed. It was really good and they had amazing milkshakes with cinnamon and other spices in them. It was totally not my meat and potatoes, Midwestern DH's food scene, but he tried to enjoy it for my sake. The 5 year old liked it! And the baby loves people watching so he was happy.

We are on the road to my niece's baptism. I can't wait for baby snuggles.
Yesterday was spent getting things done at home since we knew we would be gone today. I made applesauce from the apples from our trees. DD2 has decided that store bought applesauce tastes better . How is that possible?!?!

You probably didn't add as much sugar as they do. It's like baked vs. box mac and cheese...kids have a different standard.
I don't add any sugar just some cinnamon. The store bought stuff is unsweetened so she should be used to it.

Maybe texture? I know some people like chunky (me) and some like smooth (my sister).
So happy you're loving South Africa, Stan. DH's internship was in the spring of last year (so autumn time there) and it was cloudy when he went to Table Mountain and the water was too rough to get out to Robben Island.
Are you going to Bolder Beach? They have the cutest little penguins out there!

I just got home from walking a 5k with my family and feel like I'm going to hurt forever. Damn I'm so out of shape. Today did cement my decision to invest in my physical health and buy a 3 time per week/6 month personal training package from my gym - I have to get in shape and lose this weight - I know myself and without that commitment it won't happen, I need accountability
Going to a wedding today. DH will see all his old college friends and I will spend the day waiting impatiently for cake. Should A be good time for all!
The only good part of wedding and kid birthday parties are the alcohol and cake. F'ing cash bars and stupid non-alcoholic kids parties here ruin that.

Hope you got cake! And that it was yummy.
Thanks, I did, but sadly, it wasn't. The wedding was the most fun, however. Sooo much fun. It's the only thing that helped me shake off the cake .
