Wednesday Whatevers

[katespade]

My XSIL wrote a post on FB about the shooting in Virginia. In her post, she said that she doesn't feel sorry for any of them and they "earned" it.

I'm so disgusted by her words that I can't even formulate a response. Part of me wants to tell her how wrong she is, but another part of me knows that nothing I could say would impact her opinion and responding would be pointless.

It's probably time to unfriend her, isn't it?

😳 what?!? Defiantly time to unfriend!

A local children's second hand shop here is closing so when DD wakes up from her nap we are going to walk over there and see what type of things that they have. They are selling on clothing your can fit into a grocery bag for $25.

Unfriend, for sure. But I would absolutely leave a response before I did so. I couldn't sit by idly and let them question why I was unfriending. I challenged a high school friend's mom last week before unfriending and was told I need to pray for God to change my heart so I can be open to the greatness that is Trump, and to check my tone because she is much older and wiser. lol, ok. Oh, I was also told I need to develop a spirit of correction so I can accept change.

I got pretty sick Monday with a terrible sore throat, but thankfully I got into the doctor yesterday and have been on antibiotics for a day already. I'm feeling better, but my voice is gone and sounds hilarious.

Definitely time to unfriend!

We didn't make it to the store this morning, so I'm going to try to talk H into a family trip later.

I might have to go to my parents' house this weekend to swim. Summer temps have definitely shown up.

I rejoined WW, and had my first week's weigh in yesterday. Down 2 pounds



Also, tonight's the Chicago GTG. Exciting!

Jealous about the GTG! Have fun ladies!

ETA: congrats on the weight loss grover!

My next door neighbor (the ones we hang out with all the time and she helps keep me sane managing the boys solo all week) left for a 3 week vacation. It's hot here too so I am going to have to get creative these next few weeks to keep us plenty entertained. We went to the park this morning and planning to do yogurt and library this afternoon.

[estrellita]

katespade WTF? No, no one ever deserves that. No matter how I feel about someone's politics, I'd never say they deserve to be shot! Gross. And WTF to your friend's mom too amaranth. Older =/= wiser!

[wineandcheese]

katespade unfriend!

Oh man! I'm so jealous of the GTG.

Since it's been so hot here I haven't been sleeping. I'm at the extremely cranky stage from lack of sleep. I think it's time to put the ACs in the windows this weekend.

OMG yes, definitely time for AC! Treat yourself! How is your H doing? Still working like crazy?

[estrellita]

Just booked the hotels for summer vacation. I'm getting excited! Hopefully H and I can get to a better place before then so we can really enjoy it. We've gotten to the point where we feel like roommates and co-parents but that's about it. I'm just not ready to forgive him and move on quite yet. But either way, I can't wait to go on vacation and visit new places! We found a really good deal on a new camera and I probably shouldn't get it but I've been looking for a telephoto lens for my camera to buy with my Christmas money. This camera is the upgraded version of what we have AND comes with a telephoto lens for not much more than what we'd spend on a lens anyways. So I'm thinking about it. I know I shouldn't be spending money but it's such a good deal I don't know if I can pass it up! I'm going to sleep on it though.

[katespade]

Aaaaaaaaand XSIL just doubled down in a second post. Saying people called her out for her first post but they're wrong and it's totally okay for her to think that way. Then providing a list of reasons why they pretty much deserved to be shot and should get no sympathy.

FFS.

[estrellita]

katespade WHAT? Ugh. No. She's a terrible person.

[ewall]

katespade What a nutcase. No one deserves to be shot.

[awick14]

Yikes! I'm glad she's an X SIL.

Right? That makes it so much easier to unfriend her and never look back. I used to really like her, which is why we stayed in contact after she became an XSIL, but this is just too much.

katespade She sounds KLASSY...Advocating the violence of others is NEVER ok. There's a woman on the Twitter getting REAMED for the same reason. It's this D.onna P.otter Consulting. People are trolling her twitter account like it's going out of style. SUper Klassy to advocate violence against the opposing party.

estrellita can you resell your current camera for any good profit? That would make it less of a financial hit.

H has been wanting a new one since I always use our nice one, so we probably wouldn't. Should have mentioned this would be a second camera, he would use the older one.

[wineandcheese]

ewall he's doing good! Thanks for asking! He's still working 70+ hours and it's probably going to get crazier the next few weeks.
