@eilis1228 - Parking the extra car in a nearby parking garage is such good idea! I'll have to remember that next time since only one of our cars fits in the garage. We were also prepping for hail last night but didn't get any - thank goodness!

Swazzle

@eilis1228 - I'm getting THESE . That sucks that it was all a waste of time but better to be prepared! I love watching storms roll in/through!

@Swazzle definitely let me know how you like them - I can't believe they're so expensive but all the reviews I've seen have been really positive. Interested to see if they are worth it!

Swazzle

@PamBeesly524 - I've been eyeing them up for a really long time (the old-me, like 5 years ago, wouldn't even have thought twice and I'd already own them so yay for being a grown up now!) and even today I really went back and forth because I'm afraid I won't wear them frequently enough to justify the cost. BUT they are an anniversary gift and we aren't traveling this year like we usually do so I feel a bit better about letting H spend the money on them. 

I will definitely let you guys know what I think when they arrive! My mom had a good idea, to let H buy them and then if I don't reach for them after a couple weeks, just send them back.

Have you guys heard the new Beyonce album? My best friend forwarded me all the songs yesterday and I've been listening to it on repeat today.

Swazzle

@PamBeesly524 - I haven't heard ANY of the music, just all of the gossip around it. I'm seeing her with 3 friends in June and I'm really excited! I take it the album is good?

I haven't yet.  What is your favorite?

PamBeesly524

@Swazzle I like it a lot! There are a bunch of songs on there with totally different sounds/styles, but somehow they're all really good. 

PamBeesly524

@minskat30 So far I'm liking "Hold Up" and "Daddy Lessons"... the second one is so not her style at all but somehow it works.

@PamBeesly524 - I watched the Lemonade special that aired last week that sparked all the gossip. I remember watching it thinking, "wow, I really wouldn't want to piss off Beyonce, but these songs are all really catchy!"

MissKittyDanger

@PamBeesly524  haven't yet and I missed the special. I love the idea behind the visual album.

Random chime in, why are people ripping into WHO Jay Z cheated with rather than the fact that HE CHEATED. Personally, it doesn't matter who it was.

Swazzle

@MissKittyDanger - Because it's always the other woman's fault, obviously. The husband did NOTHING wrong. The other woman tempted him (probably by wearing something scandalous) and he just could not control himself so he is clearly not to blame.


/sarcasm


It's fucking bullshit. People are harassing all these random women when, if there is actually a cheating scandal and people want to blame someone (IMO they should really just mind their own fucking business anyway, but for the sake of argument), they should be blaming the person IN the marriage who took the vows and broke them. 

beachyone15

@MissKittyDanger - I also heard somewhere that all of the cheating accusations could have been aimed at her father/mother's relationship.
But honestly we don't even know that there was any cheating. The whole thing could be for publicity. I guess the only people that know are Beyonce and Jay-Z.

MissKittyDanger

@Swazzle  all of that!

@beachyone15 Very true. Just unfortunate to hear, regardless who it is

@swazzle Seriously!! someone on my FB just posted a meme that was like "respect someone's relationship- don't be the reason a family is ruined" and I ranted to H about how stupid it was and how it's nobody's responsibility except the people in the relationship. An outsider is not the one who ruined anything.

But yea, I hate Beyoncé and her music so I know nothing about the album and 99% believe that any lyrics like that are straight up publicity stunts.

beachyone15

@jenna8984 - The lyrics are honestly really aggressive. So that's why I'm inclined to think it's all for publicity. I don't think Beyonce would air that much dirty laundry willingly out in the open.

MissKittyDanger

@beachyone15 I'm curious if she wrote it, because if she did write the lyrics then maybe she would to get the aggression out and deal with it?

I have no idea what anyone is talking about, but I just booked a facial for tomorrow!!!

I'm just saying hello again.  I miss you all.  I seriously check every day to see if TK is miraculously unblocked.
@swazzle I'm so excited for you on the weight loss and TTC.  

Swazzle

@Peaseblossom55 - Try adding s after the http in the web address. It took a little fooling around with it but I managed to get on after work blocked it. 

So try using this:

Thank you so much! All of my things are crossed for you and I'm sending SO MANY vibes!!!!

Peaseblossom55

@swazzle I tried that and it doesn't seem to work either. Thank you.  I was sad when Prince died but then I thought of the Prince gif and it won't ever be the same.
