 Hello, hello, is anybody here? My electricity keeps going on and off today. And I want to get on here and thank some folks for some, oh, this one's just for Oliver. I'll get that aside for him. I hope I put it on public. I wanted to open some Happy Mail. Is anybody out there in YouTube land? I have to go to the store. Hello. Thank you so much, Ann. I appreciate it. Hi, Kim. You are one of the people I was hoping would show up. Oh, busy bay. I need some lotion. I'm really trying not to do so many lives because I know they bother so many people. But I want to do this video and my electricity is going on and off all day. So I'm going to give this to the college try. And then I am going to the store. Hola, Jessica. Oh, muchas gracias. Muchas gracias. I'm going to go to the store. I'm going to do a little video on wraps today because wraps are my go-to. I don't wrap like let's wrap. I wrap like let's roll. Hi, Betty. Oh, I need a necklace, don't I? I need a scarf. Oh, you know what? It might be cool enough to wear a scarf. But I learned the hardware yet hard. I learned hardware. I learned the hardware yesterday. Our home stays really cold. And then I went outside to take the dog out and it was like 76 degrees out. I had to shred my clothing. So I wanted to come in, show some happy mail. Happy mail, what's wrong, Annata? Why can't you talk? I don't know because the electricity's been going on and off all day and it's super annoying. I'm trying to get things done. I'm washing everybody's bedding so we can all climb in. Is that the best feeling in the world? That is one of my top 10 favorite things in life, is getting in clean bedding. Oh, it's the best. So I'm gonna have three different wraps to show you guys. Now I have talked about them sporadically through my videos, but I'm gonna do one video. And also I'm gonna do a dessert that I saw on Instagram today. And I just wanted to come on and say hi because I like doing it. You know, I'm torn, you guys. I'm totally torn because I love coming on live and interacting and like I said in my last video, it'd be just like if I were to call one of you guys on the phone, hey, what's happening? What's going on? What's going down? Do you have your water? You don't. You go in the kitchen and you get your water and I'll sit here and wait for you. How's everybody doing so far this week? All nine of us. I'm doing great. I'm super thrilled. Last night I ran out of points and I was hungry so I ate some chicken. I have just been hungry lately. Is anybody else hungry? Like not normal hungry, just like is it the weather? But I have been, this morning I had yogurt. I had oatmeal. I had warm oatmeal. I didn't have overnight oats and it was really tasty but it wasn't enough. I had something else too. Oh, I had a Cleo bar but it's all tracked but I just want to eat. So I thought we'll sit, we'll do our happy mail and oh you guys, if you want to give me a thumbs up I heard that helps the algorithm and then maybe some new folks will see me and come over to the Paddywack party but if you don't want to, that's okay too. All right, so I got some cards. Now I got Diana and two, I don't think she's here. Kim is doing great except you broke your toe. Oh my gosh, did you cuss up a storm? I hope because that had to have hurt like crazy. Oh Kim, I'm so sorry, ouch. I'm having sympathy pains for you. I mean seriously, that is so painful. Tamsen, we got a card from Tamsen. Let's open it up. I'm sure you did. Oh my gosh, winter blessings. Oh, I'm gonna have cards, yay. Thank you, Tamsen. She says, I read my notes to myself. I don't read them out loud but her card says, best wishes for a bright and beautiful holiday season. Thank you, my friend. We're gonna put our card rack up tonight. Is Diana and two here by chance? Diana, if you happen to trip in, let me know. Kim, I got a card from Kim Broken Toe. That's gonna be your Indian name. Me Kim Broken Toe. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. My daughter has this really weird gait. When she was little, she was supposed to have braces on her legs and we just, I didn't do it for, I don't remember why. So her legs, she has a funky gait when she walks and her first husband used to call her Chelsea Walk Funny. Was that how it went? But that was her Indian name. So this is from Kim. Oh, how beautiful. Oh my gosh. That's beautiful. Look at that, you guys. I wish I was there right now. I wish I was anywhere near anything like that. The card says, may you have the happiness of simple pleasures at the holidays and all through the year. And it's for all three of us, I will show everything to Steve and Oliver when they get home later. Hey, is that washing machine super-duper loud, you guys? If it is, I apologize. Thank you, Kim. Let's see. This one's to me. Let's open it up and see who it's from. So yeah, I just have been wanting to eat. I need to stock up on some fruits and some veggies. Oh, good Kim, thanks. It's really loud because with the electricity on and off, it's on, it's off, it's on, it's ha, ha, ha. Oh, what a pretty card, look at this. You guys rock, so pretty. It's from Christine Lamson. And she says, she's a faithful subscriber, Christine. The card says, may the true meaning of Christmas light your holidays with joy. Oh, and she mentions that she hopes I don't have trouble with my hands. It's not storming here. It's really warm and beautiful outside. Thank you, Christine. I hope you see this video. I'm gonna try to keep it short, so those of you guys who see Happy Mail won't be intimidated by the two hour long yak fest about nothing. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. But a gal likes to talk. Okay, this is so, I wonder, from Los Angeles, it might be from Ellie, but I don't know if you guys are not, but ornaments are my thing. Santa Claus and ornaments, I love ornaments. Oh, so cute. And whoever it is has, oh, look at the back. So pretty, has beautiful writing. I can't even read my own list for the market. Chicken scratch, I tell ya. Ooh. It's from Jessica. Determine Jessica, she, oh, are you guys ready for this? Are you ready? Look at this beautifulness. Oh my gosh, Jessica, that is gorgeous. And it matches my blue living room and dining room. I'm gonna have to frame it, I think. I love that you, oh, she says jolly days, merry days, happy, happy holidays. This is, this is fantastic. I love it, thank you so very much. I'm serious, I think I will frame it and put it somewhere in there with the blue and the ornament. Oh, beautiful, beautiful. This is for Oliver, so I won't open it. I think it's from Jessica too. And I don't think Diana is here, but Diana and two, every year she sends me a homemade ornament. And I can't wait to open packages. I cannot tell a lie. So I opened it yesterday. But you know what, I can't find the card. Oh, wait, is it in? Uh-oh, Steve had to open it for me yesterday. Shoot, I don't know that I'm gonna be able to open it because of my stupid fingers. Hang on a second, you guys. Ah, shucks. Gosh, darn it, why didn't I think to have him leave it open? Oh, here we go. Okay, are you guys ready for this? Oh my gosh, they're so, okay, she, it's amazing. Okay, hang on, I have to be careful because I am a breaker of things. So she sent these ornament hangers, which is like crazy nice. Look it, look what goes on the end of them. First, I'm gonna show you this one. Look it, there's Steve and Anita in front of the Disneyland tree last year and it has snow in it. Oh my gosh, Diana, they are so fabulous. And then she made this one with my Santa hat. Aren't they just the cutest things you've ever seen in your life? And I do have my ornament on there from last year, Diana. I hope you see this. They're just so beautiful, even on the back. I mean, she uses, she goes through so much detail. Diana, I hope, hope, hope that you see this video. If you do, please let me know down below because if I don't see a comment from you, I'm gonna try to find a way to get ahold of you, my friend. Thank you so much. Look it, check it out. I could wear him as earrings. I could totally wear him as earrings. And I just might. Oh, so pretty. Oh, I'm gonna have a collection now. Diana and two. Oh, I can't do it with my glasses. So that's my happy mail and I'm just so thrilled. Thank you so much. Look at that. I don't think I could do it with this one though because it's bigger. Seriously, there's something wrong with me. I hope she does. If anybody sees her like on another video or something, ask her to please come over here. Oh my gosh, these are so fabulous. Will this one fit? It's a little longer, but it goes with my sweater, doesn't it? Gosh, they are so, so pretty. Diana, thank you so much. I love them, I absolutely adore them. And she did put a little card in here. Season's greetings. And the card itself says wishing you all the joys of Christmas today and the year long. Oh, thank you, Diana. Thank you so much. And this is a really cool. Now I'm gonna have to put hairspray back in my fuzzes. This is a really cool holder too. I mean, is that what these are? You guys always blow me away with your creativity. And cause I, you know, I'm lucky if I can brush my hair in all seriousness, but you know what? I have to tell you guys something really weird. Okay, again, thanks you guys. And then I'll shut up and go and go to the store. I just want to put these to the side so Kitty doesn't come over and my braing and I. Okay, so Steve got this, when Steve has margarita and QVC's on, I get things in the mail. He bought this cleaner. I know you guys watch it came in a container like this with the sponge and you go like this and then you can just clean anything and everything with it. So I put a glove on yesterday and I tried it out, but I'll be gosh, and it's all like natural ingredients. My hands are so good today. Is that the weirdest thing? Now I have constant troubles with my fingertips. I can't seem to get those healed. They were healed this morning before I started brushing my teeth and my hair and getting dressed and stuff. But my hands, you guys, it's like that stuff had, isn't that weird? Just be happy Anita. Okay, so, oh, I have glitter all over me. I'm trying to think if we did anything new in here since I was, since I saw you guys last. I guess not, but I do wanna tell you this one's out because I've had it for, oh, it's, okay. Do you guys remember my Vaunt video? It had the lanterns when our electricity was out and then they sent me a whole bunch of these tea lights. Okay, let me tell you something about these tea lights. For one thing, they last forever. I never turn them off. I don't turn them off when I go to bed. These bad boys burn for days. Second thing is they flicker. And in this house, it already has a light in there so you can't see the flickering. But in my other house over on that table, it is so, so pretty. And you know me, you guys, I don't hawk all the wears. I only hawk stuff that I like and I really like these. So I still have a code. If anybody's interested in buying some, I'll look it up. I'll find it. They're really fantastic. So if anybody has the villages and wants to stick a little light in there, I love them. So, all right, I guess I'll go to the market now. You know what? I haven't even said hi to everybody. Let me say hi to everybody. But it wasn't a food, Jessica, it was cleaner. It was, I should show you guys. Do you want, does anybody want to see what it is? Just out of curiosity? You want to see me haul my arse up and over? Laura, I love them, is it your earrings? I put some lipstick on today. I'm going to see how long it lasts. This particular brand. I have some friends that wear it and it always stays on them but it never stays on me. Probably because I talk too much. You don't have to. Activity points, Kim, if I get up and I walk over and I get it, it's activity points. So who haven't I said hello to? Let's see. Everybody's here, all 14 of us. Oh my gosh. Did I say good morning to you, Connie? Thank you. Oh, now the washing machine and the dryer are off. That means I have to do laundry. Hi, Tracy. I don't think I said hi to you. Oh, thank you, Jessica. I just like doing them. It's just like, you know, Steve leaves at 4.30. Hi. I'm happy. That means I'm going to stick around for a few more minutes, Minth. I'm so happy to see you. What are you having for lunch? Tell us all what you're having for lunch. Hi, Patty. Two patties are here. Patty, Patty. Patty, me. Patty says me. What does me mean? Is that a code, Patty? Are you trying to get something across to me? You want to see the cleaning stuff I was talking about that seemed to help my hands? It's so weird. Watching on TV is so hard to let you know. It's hard to comment. I'm having two smart point mac and cheese on my WW purple yum. Seven smart points on blue or green. Is it whole wheat mac and cheese? Patty, I'm sorry. See, that's why I shouldn't do lives because it's not easy for a lot of folks. But I got to talk to some, Patty. I'm sorry, Patty. You made it from scratch. Overachiever. All my friends are overachievers and then there's me. I'm going to have, Mindy, I'm going to do a video today on my wraps. All right, Patty, I'm sorry. It's easy. Yeah, everything's easy. I can't do anything. I'm going to actually make some spaghetti meatballs for Steve and Oliver tonight. I'm going to have to buy some gloves so that I can roll the meatballs so that the hands don't ruin them. I know, Tamsen, it's really weird. It was like, I cleaned the tub right before I got in to take a shower, had my gloves on, but the gloves only go to about here because my butcher gives them to me and she's got really, really tiny hands. And I was like, dude, my hand, I'm like, oh my gosh, my hands feel so much better. Who knew? All right, so let me see. I'm going to do three kinds of wraps. I was thinking about doing a breakfast wrap. You know, here's the thing. Maybe you guys can give me a little input on this. I've been doing this almost, I don't know, I've been doing it a long time and I'm afraid to repeat things, but nobody really goes back and looks at anybody's old videos, do they? Just do it, Anita. Okay, thanks. You guys have been a huge help. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh gosh, I never think to watch anybody on TV. Okay, so Mindy uses her Ninja mixer, one egg plus one third cup. Hang on, lady, hang on, I can't do this. One third cup cottage cheese, onion, garlic, paprika, mix it all up, then dump in the pan to heat up. You know what I thought you meant? I thought you meant you made your own macaroni. Hey, I can do that. I need to find something to do with my new food processor. Okay, Patty, I'm going to just keep doing what I know then. You go back, Catherine, and watch old videos. Thank you, Laura. Kim says, only if I want to make a recipe. Okay, absolutely. I love my wraps. My wraps are my go-to, so I'm going to have a wrap, a fruit, and like a side. I'm going to have three different meals. I do think you're buying heroin. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You could do everything, man. You get up in the morning looking like what takes me five hours to try to look like. Seriously, when you wake up in the morning, you look great, you don't need anything, but then when you put on makeup, holy smokes. It's 10 to 11. It is cozy in here. I should go to the store before Oliver gets home because getting him to go anywhere is ridiculous. Ridiculous. She lives an hour from here. You know, it's funny. I don't know why and I feel bad, but who's the other people who have the TV show, Husband and Wife, and now they have a big place where they sell their stuff and it's really expensive for when I understand. I love you too, so much. I'm a lot of simple. Somebody's got to be simple in the crowd, right? Okay, yeah, Chip and Joanna Gaines. And my friend Cindy has been to their thing a couple times, and then I guess you can go to the read rum and place too. I have zero interest in going to any celebrities, anything. Why is that? Why am I like that? Does it make me snobby? Because I'm not doing it because I don't like them. I just, they get so excited when they go to, oh, it's called Magnolia, right? They get so excited. I'm like, they're rich enough. I'm not giving them any of my money. I don't know. Target, you know what? What I've seen at Target, I did not care for it all. And I love her. I think she's, I love that they built their own empire. I love that about them. I love her. I like them. I like them. Rage Rum and I very rarely watch because, well, I could never do anything that she has done. Why do I do this? Why do I talk about this ridiculous stuff when I'm on here with you guys? You know what, Kim? And I'm always afraid to say something that it's gonna be taken in the wrong context, but I think that's it. I do, I think that's it. And I think too that, well, you know what? I should hold off on my opinion until there's a celebrity that sells something that I like. Maybe because I'm not, okay. Well, here's the thing with Magnolia. I don't do farmhouse decorating. So, okay, Nita. So it doesn't pertain to you. And Rae Drummond, I do watch her like if I catch her, she has like that cozy kitchen, but I don't cook like she does. I'm not a home cooked chef. Well, I really am. I've just been lying to you guys all this time. I really have my own empire. I have my own good book. I just do this on the side for something fun to do. Ha, ha, ha. When I have the production crew here all the time and the house is full of gaffers and grips and cameramen and stand-ins and wardrobe, it just gets to be too much. You know what I mean? This I can do on my own in the quiet sanctity of my own home. Now, when I do my real show and I'm writing cookbooks, that's on a huge movie set. You know what I'm saying? Here it's just, I'm my own boss. I don't have a producer or director yelling at me. So there's the difference. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I do, Rachel, I absolutely do. You know what? I think my hungry girl, I think this five ingredients are less. And I made those egg thingies the other night if you didn't see them. They were super good. And I had to flare up after that because the tomato sauce, but I had to taste it. You know what? Here's the thing. I'm gonna just say this and then I need to go to the store. Will somebody kick me off my own channel? Please, somebody tell me. If you guys all leave, then I'll have to leave. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Totally missed the part of just walking into the talking about Gaffers and Studio O. I was just kidding, Laura. I was saying that I'm just doing this for me for fun because my real job is a real big TV show that I have cooking and I've written several cookbooks. This YouTube is just my little intimate place to go. Maybe? Shoot, now I forgot what I was gonna say. What was I gonna say? Have you watched, we don't have Netflix. The movies that made us behind the scenes on older movies, I don't have Netflix. Movies that made us behind the scenes on older movies. What does it consist of, Patty? What's the content? What are they showing? People like my dad sitting on his camera. Oh, I'm gonna show you guys a picture of my dad that I got last night. I know that you don't care, but he's my dad and he's looking good and I need to show you. I hope I didn't delete it. Oh, shoot, from, oh wait, here it is. Look how good he looks. Okay, here he is. Here's Birdwell. Look how good he looks. You ready? Look how good he looks. Doesn't he look so good? His eyes are clear. He's been shaved, his hair's cut. Oh my God, I love him so much. I need to go down and see him. I asked my, oh, here he is in the, my mom sends me, okay, this is how much hair my dad has. Look how much hair it has on him. He does, Mindy, doesn't he look good? So I asked my mom, I said, you know, does he, does he know who anybody is? And she says, he doesn't know anybody's names, but he knows faces. So we're gonna trip down there, but there was something I wanted to tell, oh, about cooking. I wanted to tell you guys about cooking. I always put myself down, as you know, that I can't cook and I'm not putting myself down. It's just like something I run with. But I can cook. I can't, just since my hands got bad, I kind of like put it to the wayside. But I raised two children, they're still alive. My was banned. He might still be alive somewhere. He might not be, personally, I don't really care. But when I was married to him, I kept him alive. You know what? I need to make Steve some stuffed bell peppers. He loves those and I've never made them for him. And he's been making his own dinners. But I can't cut anything, dang. Mindy, can you come over and cut for me? Hey, I figured out, Mindy, this is for you. I can't believe that iMovie on the Mac Air Mac has no holiday music. I have holiday music on this iPad, but no holiday music on there. I'm like just the worst YouTuber in the world because I'm so behind, I know you would. I did figure out the text kind of. There's a couple of things that I'm gonna need a tutorial on. It's weird. Why would I have it on my iPad but not on my computer? So I took your guys' advice and I got Jessica a stocking, did I tell you guys that? There's her, Steve says we need to trash that when we get a better one. I think I'll agree with him, it's pretty bad. I guess, yeah, it must be. I mean, regular music is so much more plentiful on the computer, but all right. I really have to go because when Oliver gets home, he's gonna be like, no, Nana, I'm not going to the market. You know, I don't like, and it's like that kid. That kid that has a 16 waist. So when I buy him pants, they're all too long. About one of those veggies on top. I have one of those too. I have one. Casey's coming over tonight and Jessica's coming over tonight. Maybe I'll text them and tell them they have to make dinner tonight and then I'll make Steve's up tomorrow night. Patty says, one day I'm gonna send you a list of the things you influenced me to buy or try. Oh, that's so nice. See, I always think that everything I say falls on deaf ears that I just sit here and yak. I should do a new favorites, things that I've been using and liking. I know that the, hey, you guys that do those videos, do you have like a special box that when you're done with something, you throw it in there and then every month you go over your favorites. Cause I have to kind of walk around and look at things and open my cupboards and close my cupboards. Way back to the glass pumpkin. Oh, Patty, that's so nice. Aw, you guys make my day. Why do you go on live, Nina? Cause everybody makes me feel good. I know I love the QVC. Let me see, what have I gotten on QVC recently? Oh, Steve doesn't know it. But he bought me a pair of Bose cordless ear thingies for when I go walking. I need to remind him and say, thank you so much. I'm just gonna wrap it up and put it under the tree. And then I got him the Bose radio. He wanted it though. He said, I want that. And I said, no, we can't afford it. And then when he went to work, I bought it. What else have I gotten recently from QVC? I've tried to be fiscally responsible. But I just ordered a bunch of stuff. I got some pajamas for Jessica for Christmas and I got some pajamas for somebody in my gift exchange only to find out that she's not fond of the texture. It's a texture thing. So she's gonna have to send them back and get something else. I also got her a pair of gloves that you can scroll with on your phone, which I think is pretty cool. Well, it's gonna get myself some, but I never in my life will have the opportunity to wear a pair of gloves. So, could you guys all please leave so that I have to hang up? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh my gosh, Jessica. I love this card. I love everybody's cards, but this one just, it just speaks to me. Thank you, Rachel. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Rachel is behaving. I don't wanna go, but I have to. Oh, I still got my little light going. All right, Anita's gonna shut up now. Thank you guys for coming in. I hope Diana sees this. If anybody sees Diana passing through the YouTubes, as the kids like to say, will you ask her to please come over here? And if I don't see her comment, you know, in a certain amount of time, I'll just put her name in the title. Ha ha ha ha ha. All right, kids. Love you. I'll be back with my wrap commercial and have a great day. Take your water and know where your bathrooms are. You did pick it just for me. Thank you, because it worked. Bye, Lou. Hi, and bye, Catherine. Thank you. Oh, Michelle. Oh, one last thing, because there's always one last thing. My last video is telling you guys that I kept texting my eyebrow mustache lady, and she wasn't getting back to me. And sometimes I wonder if she doesn't like me, because you know, that happens, but she finally texted me back today and I'm gonna go get beautified on Friday at, I don't know, it's written down somewhere. Hopefully, I won't forget. All right, I gotta go. I've got glare all over me, and I'm off.
