Can we have Friday Randoms?

[kayladawn91]

Where is everyone today?

[kayladawn91]

My Netflix is being dumb today so I had to put in an actual DVD. I don't have many so I chose Letters to Juliet which I bought ages ago and never watched. It's not half bad!

[ohinvrtedworld]

I'm here! Woop! Working on a Powerpoint, which I really hate because it's hard to make them not look super generic and boring.

[ohinvrtedworld]

I threw a roast in the crockpot and am so jazzed about that for dinner, and just remembered that H went to Texas de Brazil for lunch and will probably be meat-ed out for the day. Oops. More for me, I guess!

It really is! We did a project with our students at the end of the school year where they had to present using technology. We gave them any option EXCEPT PowerPoint. It's painful to watch 120 PowerPoint presentations in a row. Lol

Oh gosh, that would be torture. Especially when kids go overboard with the transitions and sound effects lol.

Great minds!

I am irrationally annoyed at the "if you are pregnant and using drugs" with the giant pregnant belly ad on the side. I have tried everything to get rid of it and it still shows up like 75% of the time. WTF.

I see a ton of ads for maternity clothes. That's way worse tho. I feel like Naria had some post forever ago on reporting ads in certain boards?

My phone is starting to annoy me. Half the screen is shattered, but my contract doesn't end for another 10 months.

Can't you go find one of those repair shops that will fix your screen for you?

Any idea how much that costs? I should look into that.

I think it depends on what phone you have.

Ah okay. My camera is also cracked on the back. We do have insurance on them, but we are super cheap. I just complained to my H about it for the first tine so he might try and order some parts and fix it himself. I love that he's handy like that.

I want to take a nap.

I love Peach Pear LaCroix!  Not typically a gin drinker, but I might have to give this a try!!

I just shattered mine on Wednesday....I'm annoyed already.  There's a local place where I can get the screen fixed for like $100 though.  Can you take it somewhere?

ETA:  I see this has been covered already...

I'm feeling irrationally annoyed with my future SIL today. Her bachelorette party is next weekend. Her sister is throwing the party (taking a boat out on a lake all day) and she asked me if I would drive the boat for them, which I am totally fine with. But I'm driving 5 hours to get there, staying sober to drive the boat all day, making them jello-shots, AND having tank tops made for them, and I didn't even get an actual invitation to the party. And they're all getting hotel rooms at a resort and didn't offer me one. So I have to stay with my parents. And when her sister asked me to drive, she said it was because the needed someone "older". I'm 28 FFS.

[lilsneezy]

Two friends of mine just announced they're expecting #2 on FB within 15 minutes of each other. Getting lapped never gets easier...

[BabyStandish]

akraus2015 ugh that sucks! My H is going to try to fix it himself (he ordered some kit for $20) and if it works he'll do his too. We apparently can't have nice things.

Oh wow. And you didn't punch her? Has she even acknowledged anything you are doing for her?

Well that's rude. And a boat doesn't sound like a great idea for a Bachelorette party to me. It just sounds like an accident waiting to happen. Like hey let's put a bunch of drunk people around a big body of water. Or maybe I'm just old and paranoid.

[diamondsndaisies]

lilsneezy, Im sorry.

[BabyStandish]

lilsneezy those announcements always seem to happen bunched together. Hugs.
