Why do Melissa and Donna say they’re over loud restaurants and noisy bars?
Hello, hello. I'm Melissa. And I'm Donna. We're here sharing what we've learned as women, entrepreneurs and moms. All while rocking our curves with confidence.
It's a behind the scenes look at our lives and businesses. And a chance to tell our younger selves, go do the things that scare you. Loud bars when you can't hear your own sarcasm. Over it. Forget it. Even restaurants that are too loud. Some of them are. Yeah.
Some of them are very loud.
And it's not enjoyable. I don't want to have to scream to have a conversation.
Or across the table. You want to have a good conversation.
If I have something funny to say, you got to hear it in the first time.
Friendship. Oh, yeah.
Friendships that drain more than they fill. Bye-bye.
Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Concerts without a signed CD. No. Have you ever been to one?
Oh, yeah. Back in the day, I remember going to see the Beach Boys at Pine Knob bus trip in high school. And we would have blankets and you'd have four people holding the corners and you'd throw people up in the air like a trampoline on the blanket. I've never been to one. You've never sat on the grass at a concert?
Never. My kids have. My kids go to that Budweiser. Budweiser, yeah. All the time.
We have grassy. We have grassy. I would never do it now. It needs to be. accessible but even to okay even this morning i was watching the sports net and i was watching the blue jay game does anyone ever sit for that game that was exciting okay i know but if i have a seat there yeah if i want to sit in my seat yeah even at a concert i know right like it's good when they play a little bit of the slow music so people sit down you can have a little rest but i'm gonna get up and dance what about lady gaga were you sitting or were you standing i sat because we were
nice sweet oh thanks to my girl living the dream but you but you didn't get up and dance at all in the box yeah i did i did and to go get a drink okay how can you get food i mean if you're my husband you could not he would sit there through the whole concert just listening like are you all right are you okay he's like paul he's exactly like paul but that's because they're like two days apart they're the same sign no lady gaga when i went with nathan i stood the whole time yeah I love to dance. I love to dance. Nathan's my Nathan. Networking events with bad wine and forced smiles. Over it. You got to find what fits your vibe. Yeah.
And not all of them do. And that's okay.
And it's okay to leave if it's not enjoyable. It is. Totally. Because that's just not your vibe. I agree. It's hard. It is hard. It's hard to make conversation, right? When there's someone that you're like, oh, this is not what I want to do. I've got to call. I've got to go.
Yeah.
Overcomplicated coffee orders. Oh.
How do they identify and deal with one‑sided friendships after 40?
I'm an overcomplicated girl. Are you? Yeah.
Okay, what's your order? What's your order?
Well, it used to be when Starbucks had lactose-free milk. They don't have that anymore? I know. What a dumb decision, Starbucks. Hello, bring it back. Thank you. What do they have? They have every other freaking kind of milk there is, and yet I must fart all day because there is... No, lactose-free milk, because I'm not drinking oat milk. The rest don't taste good to me. I don't want my lactose-free milk, please.
What's your order? I want to know your order.
I'm a venti iced chai with lactose-free milk, three pumps, light ice. Sean is like, please don't make me order that.
Really? I would never expected that from you. I didn't know that. I'm a, can I have a steep tea, two milk, half sugar at Tim Horton's kind of girl. I am, or double, double. I, I'm just not that, I don't know. I don't even know how to order at Starbucks. So you can laugh at me. It's intimidating. It is. Even just the sizes. So, but I, I don't, I don't go to Starbucks, but my kids are like, mom, let's go to Starbucks.
But I do like the iced coffees at McDonald's. I will say. Oh, I know. And it's just something this year that I've like, I like that.
Paul says that he likes the coffee better at McDonald's. And it's also way cheaper than Tim Hortons.
