So much drama! It always seems to be about the same thing, when it comes down to it, only with a different packaging. Why can't we all just get along!?
ReplyDeleteTrue!! It's just recycled topics with different players. I try and stay out of it, but I'll read what's going on so that I know. Since I am a blogger. BUT, it's better to just stay out of it!
Deleteoh my gosh love your blog - you have one new follower yay!
ReplyDeleteand thanks a bazillion times for sharing that hilarious video! got me cracking up and i had to surpress my laughing as my sister is sleeping next to me :D so freaking relatable :D xx
I laughed out loud when I saw the video for the first time! It is so true that I started noticing my positions while reading and it made me laugh again. HOW did I end up like that?! Ha!!
DeleteHOLY Cow! I've been so wrapped up in my new Big Brother obsession (I cannot stop watching this stupid show and it's stupid live feeds!) that I missed most of this drama *eek* Guess it's a good thing, I've been in my blissful little bubble. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love the reading video though - I saw it last week and I can't stop laughing because it is so true.

I love getting into the TV bubble!!!!!! I just watched 2 seasons of BLUE BLOODS and SUITS the other week. Sometimes I like to put the book down and veg out in front of the TV. Nothing wrong with that!
DeleteGlad you missed the drama. It's been getting worse.
