I Think I have white But I think most of it is red. I'll look at him when we get home. Okay All right, so As far as snacks again, this is a teacher emergency kit as far as snacks I got her some M&Ms. M&Ms are her favorite candy apparently and The nature crunchy oats and honey, there's four bars and in here Almost 200 calories. That's good. That's a quick, you know, and that's probably due to the That's probably Some nuts in here, which can be high calorie Got her some hair ties. She has medium length hair But this is just quick to get her hair out of her face out of the way when the kids getting on her nerve Speaking of getting on the nerves. I got some Advil They have these really cute roll on Lavender oil, they had it in lavender oil They had tea tree oil and they also have peppermint oil I'm gonna come back in a couple more days and get a couple of those and just give them out to people That's a good deal ingredients are made with 100% pure lavender oil and sweet almond oil and this is 100% pure and natural oils. So when it says stuff like this, they probably used Probably eight to ten drops of lavender oil because that's what I do I have roll-ons at home, but I have my own mixture But I think I may go back and get a couple of these like seriously and give them to some moms Like I'm not even kidding. I think that's a good girl. I Got her some dove intensive care treatment Lotion Disinfecting wipes for her desk and the kids faces some deodorant Okay Eyeliner Girl, you never know you may have to go somewhere and do a little touch up, you know Probably she's got her some blush, too, but I don't know her style. She seems very you know, I Got some earphones for me and then I got her some highlighters So yeah, I think that's a really cute, you know, what I mean teacher emergency kits some stuff. She can leave it at school Yeah, all right y'all. I'm gonna get ready to go home. Um, I Already planted out my Christmas dinner and we will be having traditional Southern food. Yeah, I was laughing my buff off looking at I guess Leia's mom has moved they moved to Washington, DC and When you First of all during the holidays when you're in the South they put out buckets of certain food We used to eat a lot of different food. I didn't eat it. I did not for taking it cuz I was like that's disgusting But my family eats an assortment of pork I mean like little literally all the types of pork So especially in East Texas and all over the South you will see buckets You know what I'm about to get to those big red buckets of chitlins What's your intestines was I'm like, no chitlins you can find A lot of smoked meats Neck bones all types of pieces of the hog and Hen is really pop. You know those type of meats when I moved out here I could not find him. First of all chitlins. Yeah, rarely would you find that? Limited hams, but very limited in your ham selection And so I mostly use hen when I make my dressing I used to hand broth and I straight up the hand I Won't be able to find a hand y'all and hopefully maybe I'll find one at Walmart when I first moved out here I found them at Walmart and I'm not talking about the little Cornish gain hands I'm talking about the big juicy hands are juicy big juicy hands and that it just makes really good broth, right? Mmm-hmm There's different ways to cook stuff, but we cook things very simple Like I said, I know some people like oh, it'll be so much better if you add cream cheese It'll be so much better if you add cream of mushroom increment. Why? They didn't have that back then The dressing that we make is like a hundred year old recipe. I'll show y'all I already have a video on it, but no, there's no need if you do it, right? If you add enough liquid and you season your food properly, I mean you really don't have to add all that I mean to me just extra calories and extra fast, especially y'all that cream with chicken cream of stuff. I Have not cooked with that stuff since I was in my early 20s. I know how to make my own rule from scratch I know how to use creams, you know Heavy cream to make it taste like it's a cream or something, you know, I mean that's all it is You know is what you're trying to do is basically add it and make it make it moist and make it more flavor Add some more seasoning, add some chicken stock or chicken bouillon. I get literally those ways to get around in that stuff. I Would rather use real butter and extra herbs or whatever than to use that can't cream of stuff because that's the it's full of What it wasn't what's in it, you know what I mean? So now I don't want to eat that stuff But if you do it, you know pop more power to use your household your body. I'm not gonna tell anyone How they should cook. I'm just seeing what I do in my household. That makes sense So let me tell y'all what I'm cooking I'm making smothered chicken wings in the oven And I like you did what's called flash fried my food real quick and then bake it So that way all that oil isn't seeping in the meat I don't even bread some of my food sometimes. It just is what it is. I don't yeah I will Depending on what it is. Don't don't get me wrong like if I'm making chicken tenders Absolutely, I'm gonna bread it and deep-fry it, but we don't eat that all the time either So yeah, then I'm making collard greens I'm gonna do those a traditional way without any pork my husband doesn't eat pork and we really don't miss it You know, I will use chicken stock sometimes to help, you know, add more flavor What else but in a squash? Dressing of course Homemade cranberry sauce. I know people still like the canned stuff. Let me tell you when you make it, right? Homemade is bomb.com Devil's food cake and there's something else I'm making Now I am gonna have both rolls and cornbread because I can't have greens for cornbread cornbread I may do hot water cornbread, but I really make me some nice fluffy cornbread and have some rolls too I know we'll be in greeting, but that's it. All right, y'all. I said it was so slow today at work I went ahead and went and got my nails done. It's pretty very pretty holiday color Oh, and I stopped by Ross and got my husband some Burberry Cologne That's our my Christmas present for him Yeah, Tina You gotta, you know Stand firm some stuff when people be trying. She's like, um, you being a little boy here tomorrow I give him um, I pay him they'll get him free design. I might do what? You'll get bring her here tomorrow Are you at your rabbit ass mind? You're not gonna be painting my son's nails and put no design on it Let me say let me say this. No, I don't believe that you doing that It's gonna cause your child to be gay or anything, but I don't want my son's nails painted and Designs on his nails and matter of fact, JB is so with it that he would think that's weird No, anyway, so Oh y'all it is getting crazy crazy crazy, of course now they're having a holiday party next week child I'm not gonna be able to do that, you know, I'll participate as far as you know, bring it something but normally I volunteer I'm not gonna be able to do that at all. Um, oh, I need to get this off because this is dangerous If JB get a hold of this, yeah, it's because it's funny I need to straighten up around the house that I helped me with my anxiety a little bit Just go through every room and make sure make sure things are in order. Thank God. I put on some soup yesterday I'm just gonna warm that up and eat that for leftovers. I'm gonna be making something new this weekend For it look like it's gonna rain y'all for Saturday. I'm gonna be making Nan pizza So tomorrow, I'm hoping tomorrow will be as quiet as it was today Um tomorrow is gonna be since I got my nails done today tomorrow I need to go grocery shopping after I drop JB off and I'm gonna be having lunch with him tomorrow. So yeah, I probably go to Chick-fil-A and get me something of course He wants raisin cane child. Why does he not want raisin cane? So yeah, I'll get myself Chick-fil-A games and raisin cane have lunch with him tomorrow come back here and just chill out Um, I may be a little bit of organizing. I have certain areas that I want to organize before the new year Organize my purses go through all my purses clean stuff out get rid of receipts go through the kitchen drawers organize I plan on doing that between now and Before Christmas basically, I'm gonna do all that before Christmas and just do a little bit of everything every other day You don't have to be all in one day. So let me hush up and get things together. I'm excited. I'm anxious when I'm excited I love this time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the oh and I've been watching Movies on YouTube Hallmark movies Christmas movies.
