literally in the worst mood.
I went to Michaels and they had the fujifilm instax cameras $50 off, and i have always wanted one and so i texted my parents and asked and they said yeah sure go for it, so i bought it. Then i get home and i show it to them and they FREAK OUT because its a film camera/polaroid, and they thought it was a waste of money so they made me feel like crap for wanting it and i just feel like crying because it was something i really loved and i was just beyond mad at this point, so i drove back and returned it. I'm just frustrated because i can't spend money on myself on stuff i ACTUALLY WANT, but they can buy me gifts that are more expensive that i don't even want? frustrated, so frustrated.
@Mndl did you mean to rate this as bullying?
 
Haha I just got it a target! It was like $4 and I figured it wouldn't be that bad to have to blow it up but it was awful

One time I went camping with my family and my uncle bought a blow up full size mattress to sleep on in his tent but everyone failed to realize we would need a pump for it. My cousin ended up blowing the entire thing up himself!!

That sounds like a nightmare. I can't even imagine how much that would suck because I struggled blowing up a small lounge thing [emoji23] it took me like 15 minutes haha

runners: do any of you have the garmin forerunner? specifically the 220? if so how do you feel about it?

currently, i have a stupid fitbit and hate it; it's not accurate at all. i still have to bring my phone for gps/mileage. I'd rather not bring my phone on runs, at all. and i'd really like to add in the heart rate monitor for more accurate calculations.. so it seems like a good fit but it's expensive so idk. i know there are lots of similar options, as well... so i'm conflicted.
 
Don't you just love "friends" this girl who calls me her best friend signed up 3 months ago to be on my JDRF (type 1 diabetes) walk team and I've been hassling her about the walk shirts and triple checking she's coming. Anyway, the other night she posts on Facebook she's attending Beachclub for some DJ event ..on the same day of my walk. I kind of figured she wasn't coming anymore because she kept saying probably and didn't give me a shirt to be screen printed but really? At least tell me you're not coming before you post on fb that you're going to get day drunk instead. -_-
 
I love my 220, it does everything. The GPS and heart rate seem to be pretty accurate. It was expensive, but worth it IMO. I bring my phone usually anyway for music and I often use the Nike running app, which is free and awesome!! I'll often just use that for shorter runs like under 5 miles.

I was at a baby shower for a cousin a couple of weeks ago and my mom and my aunt were both there as well. They're somewhat older and kind of old fashioned.

The mom to be's friend started passing out envelopes and said that she wanted everyone to write their name and address on them so that it would make it easier to send thank you cards.
My mom and aunt about dropped to the floor.

Backstory on pregger lady: she married my cousin in the fall of 2013 (September I think?) and my mom had not gotten a thank you card for the gift for the longest time. Come October 2014, she got a thank you card. When she opened it, the inside was blank.

Just ironic I guess but funny. They said it was so cheesy and awful that they wanted to scream lol. Personally I didn't care much about it because I had seen it on pinterest but to each their own.

At my sisters baby shower a few years ago I did something like this - but not so "in your face". We had a basket with envelopes and little chalk board sign that suggested writing down your address for the mom to be (It was a cute little rhyme that I got off of pinterest). It worked surprisingly well, and it gave my sister more time to relax/not stress before the baby was born, because all she had to do was write the thank you note and stamp the envelope. For people who didn't fill them out we just scanned through her list and I wrote out those envelopes. Most everyone did fill out an envelope though!
 
My 18 year old cousin is getting married ( eye roll). The wedding is at her future mother in law's house. On her wedding invite she listed that the reception was BYOB, put a note that the number RSVP'd cannot exceed the number invited, and put a note about where all additional gifts could be mailed to. I also believe that the "proper" thing is not to list the registries on the actual wedding invite, but I think most people do that anymore. It was also kind of weird because the wedding and shower invite came at the same time. Her graduation party was on Memorial Day and her wedding shower was Saturday of that week. Girl no. You don't get those two things in the same week.

Ugh don't even get me started! My cousin (she's 27) is getting married in August to a guy she's only been dating a year (to each their own - I know) but her whole wedding process has been driving me nutty! 1) she didn't send out a save the date 2) her wedding invite was something from Tinyprints basically, with a picture of them from ANOTHER wedding on the invite 3) she had an RSVP via e-mail. 4) she asked me if I could sit at the door of her reception, tell people were to sit, and guard her card box... hi? thats what table cards are for (don't be lazy, or just have it open seating) AND if you think someone is going to steal your card box - don't invite them to your wedding!! Once again, I know each person has their own opinions and ideas, but this is just the most absurd wedding I've ever hear dof.

Also, she knows I do photography on the side, but had the nerve to ask me to come to their photography session with ANOTHER photographer so I could "pose" them because this photographer isn't good at that kind of stuff. Girl No. Bye. If you wanted my work, you should have asked me to take your pictures. I'm not going to go pose you so another photographer can get the credit.

Now THAT sucks. Really.

I'm just more annoyed that she couldn't be straight with me about it. Like if you didn't want to go don't keep telling me probably. Also she posted the thing on fb that she was going and I saw her the next day because she works with my actual best friend and she didn't say anything to me about it. Then texted me today saying she wasn't coming but that she'll donate money for me this week since she didn't do any team fundraising. I told her to keep it and spend it at the day club event she's going to instead and she denied it saying she wasn't going..and before I said to keep her money etc and even before I texted her back, because I wasn't even going to bother, I noticed that she took me off of fb lol like I did something wrong...

I could get if it was a party or something I was having but it's to support me and my fundraising walk effort for a disease that I fight every day lol ...ugh...I need a hug LOL

And type 1 is no joke. My ex-boyfriend has it so I saw how it can affects your life.
 
Lol this girl I graduated with (last month) and her boyfriend who graduated last year are getting married next weekend and I just got their invitation in the mail.
1. All your friends are 17-18 and broke so don't expect many elaborate gifts. That's what you get for marrying at 18. (I guess I should add that she has thousands of dollars worth of stuff on her registries)
2. We never said 3 words to each other in high school but just because we graduated together you think you know me well enough to send me an invitation?
3. The invitation reads Friday, June 13, 2015... hmm.

I'm sorry your friend did that, especially since it's something that's very important to you. Really goes to show what kind of friend she is - that she'd pick some party over supporting you. :confused: My friends do that too and it literally drives. Me. Crazy. It's one of my biggest pet peeves. I get my hopes up so easily so that makes it worse. Have you ever seen Aziz Ansari's bit on making plans with friends? It's so accurate.
