Y'all know this The east texas is huge texas is huge We are about 40 minutes away from street port louisiana Long view close to tyler keogh or marshal our rather just especially since jb is going It's just us by herself. I would rather just be you know, I'm very familiar with dalas even though the dangled tall ways when we were there earlier this year Y'all have gone crazy with those tall ways girl girl chocolate cap coin. You need to come pick me up from the airport Look, I'm gonna assign some of my subscribers to pick us up from the airport You need to pick us up from the airport I need another person to drive us to east texas No If I wanted to I could have my family to do all that but I don't like to depend on people y'all This is my personality. I've been this way since I was 17 I don't think ever My husband unfortunately cannot come with us because he's using all of his vacation for JB's birthday y'all Why didn't y'all tell me JB's birthday was coming? JB's birthday is coming up and like three more weeks So we we don't do Big parties or anything. First of all, I am paranoid and afraid that if we do something either I know that kids will show up, but I'm just paranoid. So I Instead I do little get-togethers at our house Last year we Did a hotel We stayed there. We had such a good time And we went out to eat and I made him a little cake and invited friends over. I think I'm gonna do that this year Yeah, I'm going to Make a cake. He wants a super mario theme. He wants a coconut cake I hope you bring an allergic to coconut because that's what we do it All right, you guys I yeah plenty my I'm a planner. So I use extra Notebook paper For my happy planner. I used to happy planner you guys Um to help plan my trips. So I have stickers here. I have my to-do list I have a packing list and I've already started Um, I have a note list for flights here I haven't booked my flight but one of the things that I started to do, you know, one of the Unfortunate things as african-american So people of color in general is that we haven't had good examples Um as far as being financially fit health physically fit. We ain't gonna talk about that So we've had to either learn from our own mistakes or our parents mistakes Other cultures have either had examples in their life. Um, they've had a nest egg They haven't had the necessarily and this is not all okay. Um, this is not everyone Let's just be clear of that, but they haven't had the Uh, they've had generational wealth. We haven't had that You know, we haven't he'll we just got out of quote-unquote slavery. Some of us are still in it But you know, we haven't had that so I've had to learn. Um, and I've learned from my from my um My white older friends or my white friends So one of the things I've learned as an adult is that if you can pay for it upfront do it Don't get um caught up in pink girl black people will be thought I'm gonna save up my money and get it when I have my money saved up Or I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna make payments on it My husband for the first his first few vehicles. He paid for them in cash Or if he has at least a vehicle he'll pay it under the long requirement. He'll pay it off really fast. Um so For this trip I learned to uh, I have my credit cards, but to use the point system Um, and my neighbors who are from paris, texas, they're like, oh, yeah Well, we what we tend to do is we use our credit card To pay um mumbling. We'll get a credit card that has a good interest And one that gives us rewards and we'll use that that one credit card specifically for traveling And that's what I learned to do the course of the past five years or so So I have my one credit card that I use I treat it as like a monthly bill, of course I use that for Traveling but I also use it for gas to keep the points accumulated and then I'll pay it off double What the the requirement payment monthly payment is okay? So I was able to get my car for this trip Just using those lessons again from other people because girl I didn't learn anything from my parents that way Seriously, I'm just being honest So I was able to get my car for the texas truck using my points that I already had accumulated over the over the year. Um Also when it comes to my hotels, you know how sometimes when you book your hotels, you'll see Book now say 15 or whatever, you know Book in advance or you know pay later most people They do the pay later, you know, you book your hotel you pay when you get there You need to really look into how much money you will save that you actually pay for now So that's what I did. I'm not okay. If I pay for my Dallas at least my Dallas hotels If I pay for those now, I say 75 dollars Done, so I'm gonna pay for those hotels get the tickets in advance um Yeah, so it's hard, you know having to learn things on your own and make mistakes Yeah Look at that No, you can't put it back Look at that It did it at the crossing that's very weird Yeah, we just got a lot out of the library And you saw that my glasses are dirty. Um, you saw that the train that we were on derails out of all the years We've been arriving that train and we've been going to this train park for almost two and a half three years We've never seen the train derail before. Um, so y'all I'm almost done. Okay, baby YouTube hold on. Let me clean my glasses and come back on cam Honestly, I think I made it a little bit worse, but we're gonna do youtube straight hat me panicking I when I upload a video, I try to check my messages at least for the first 24 hours y'all I don't I have some a couple of videos that have high numbers So I don't have time to be checking comments on those old videos, but at least for my new ones I do So I'm in the library, right? And I'm checking and all of a sudden I see vlog number 17 And we're on vlog number 19. So I see vlog number 17 13 12 5 And some random hair vlog from earlier this year. I mean hair videos. So I'm like am I in a history Don't do that, baby. Am I looking at a history? Am I looking at a playlist? No, I sorted it by newest newest videos only eight videos appeared I'm like, what? I get out of it. I get out of it because I'm not panicking yet because I'm like, this is just something going on, right? I get out of it. I close it. I open it back up saying thing eight videos I'm like, okay, calm down. I type in my name vlogmas Five videos show up. It should be about 19. Right five videos show up. I'm like, okay, Vivian I look at my history. I click on a video that wasn't listed on my view. I was able to view it I'm like, okay, so the videos are there So something's going on in the background to why my videos aren't appearing So then I go to my community tab not available Not available Y'all I freaked out changed my password did everything Yeah, got JB out the library rushed over here to the fries check my account again. Everything's there YouTube got Like literally almost nearly 90% of my stuff had disappeared for like 15 20 minutes. I'm sure none of y'all noticed it But still that's dangerous We gotta go
