 Hey, y'all. It's fallin'. So, what do you want, y'all? I'm getting ready for the day. I know, yeah, I can't really see me. I'm gonna push this back, Tom. We're gonna go for brunch, J.B. and I. Those of you who don't know my husband is officially away. He's in Kansas. Girl, throughout all the holidays. J.B.'s birthday, I haven't told him that, too. Y'all, my baby's gonna be 11 years old. Can y'all believe that, 11? We're gonna have to have another talk about puberty. No, my husband needs to have that talk. And y'all, my hair is still a little wet. And so, I'm so country. Nothing wrong with being country, but I'm wearing a blue jumper suit, so I wanna wear something that's, I don't wanna look. Crazy. So, it's the busy, busy, busy work week for me. I could go like this, but let's see what it looks like with a little rouse or dad's lullaby. I'm just gonna make it look cute or something. You can't be coughing like that in public. That's cute. That's cute. So, I got my makeup brushes out because I need to wash my makeup brushes. And this is not all my makeup brushes, which is, you know, and I'm not thinking this isn't necessarily a lot, but anyway, I need to wash my makeup brushes. I don't know how often you're supposed to wash your makeup brushes. I'm gonna guess like once a month, but since I don't even wear makeup like this anymore, I don't need to see the need to. And this is just what I did, y'all. This is, I don't have no foundation. I just have one Priced Powder Rouge lipstick, a little bit of Underline Mascara. I don't, don't look at my eyebrows too much because I didn't even do that right. God, he woke up at six o'clock this morning saying he doesn't feel good. I'm like, explain what don't feel good mean. All right, y'all, let me put this over here. I need to make up my bed, that's what I'll do. Fully make up my bed, because let me tell you something. I am gonna put on some hoops. Y'all see how I am? This man, when he's here, uh-oh, meaning my husband, he does not get up for a while, y'all. Which I don't blame him, y'all. If I only worked, do assignments twice a year too, I wouldn't get out of bed, just staying in bed all day. Living in this area when there's construction going on is hell. I woke up, it has been a hell of a week. One, this is the first with my husband, love. I started a contract job. And those of you who don't know, I do this every now and then. I take on a contract job just for a little extra money, which is really good right now doing the winter time, excuse me, then the holiday season. As a mom, when it's, you know, this half a season, I'm very involved. And so JV has a Thanksgiving dinner next week. Well, he had his school Friday, he gets out of school early Friday. So I'm cooking dressing for them and a coconut cake. So I already did, I planned things in Atlanta, you guys. So, but my parents are coming for Thanksgiving. I'm super excited. Now, my mother has, she does a free community Thanksgiving meal out in East Texas every year. So she's been doing this now for five years. I told her I was coming, but I can't do it, y'all. I can't because we're gonna be going back to East Texas. I don't really wanna travel a lot. Oh, because this is a thing. Because there's a lot of construction going on, I'm gonna put my shoes on y'all. Because that's a lot of construction in this area going on. I had a nail in my tiger. One was that thirsty of all days. I had a nail in my tiger. I'm like, what the hell, I can't, I don't wanna pay for no new tires. So I went to a tire place over here and normally, let me tell you something, don't judge me, don't judge me. When I go to a auto shop, I make sure that I look the part. I make sure that my face is put together. I make sure I'm put together. I look clean. I put on a little lipstick, put on some hoops. Cause I'm like, you know, I'm a talk, I speak real soft. I allow the southern accent to come on just a little bit more. And I put my octave up a little higher. So they think I'm maybe 30, 30, 30, 34, 35 years old, not 43 years old. Cause you know, when you get older, you get more testosterone. So anyway, yeah. Anyway, I do this so that they don't try to, you know, get me for stuff cause I'm there as a woman and I smooth it up. Like I'm gonna tell you something. I even told my husband I do this. And he's like, do what you gotta do. But I do this so that I get discounts. I get something. So I was like, I'm ready. What we got? Child, I walk in and it's a full-fledged lesbian. Lesbian. I said, oh, shit. Well, you gotta take one for the shit. No, she was a baby. She was like 20 something years old. But I told her, I said, look, I got a nail on my tire. She's like, well, it's a two hour wait. I'm like, Melissa, I think her name was Melissa. I don't know her name. We're gonna have Melissa. I'm like, Melissa, two hours. Baby, two hour waits. I said, so do y'all got wifi because I bought my work clock. So I didn't tell her this, but I had my work laptop and I figured I could work. She said, oh, no, we don't have wifi. This hick-ass town. So baby getting ready. I'm like, fine, I'm like, shit. But in between all that, I'm making small conversation with this young lady, right? And so just talking, she let it slip that she has a child. Cause I was telling her how my child's driving me crazy at school lately. He's better now. But she's like, yeah, my son is the same way. And I'm thinking, okay, you fool on lesbian, but you got a son, I'm not gonna judge. Then later on, she's just talking going by. She's telling me about her crazy, her crazy woman. I'm like, okay, then she got a woman, okay. And then she's talking. She's like, yeah, cause those Leo's. I'm like, what, what, what about the Leo's? She's like, why are you a Leo too? I say, yes, I am. Yes, ma'am, I'm a Leo. But girl, I love something short. I got to the point, y'all look, I ask people questions and I let her know. I said, look, can I ask you a question? And you can tell me to mind your own damn business. I'm a, okay baby, just give me five minutes. Yeah. I said, you could let me know, mind your damn business. I said, so you clearly have a baby and you got a girl. She said, oh yeah, yeah, she's actually my wife. I said, more power to you. Bless y'all, good for you baby. So I said, so are you a fool on lesbian when you buy social shit? No, I'm a lesbian, but basically she told me she had the child, a child for her mom because her other sister can't have kids. I said, really? She said, yeah, so I had it from my mom, my mom wanted a grandkids. My brothers ain't gonna do it. So I had the baby from my mom. I said, so, she said, is the father? So I'm like, yeah, I'm nosy. I said, so is the father? And she said, yeah, I asked one of my guy friends and I said, would he be willing to do it? And he's like, yeah, and he's a good guy. He said, I'm like, what? I've heard of this y'all. Let me hurry up y'all. I've heard of this. I've heard of both men and women in the community that go to their homegirls or homeboys. They do it naturally just to have babies. I'm like, what? So you, you, you, okay. Yeah, I just find it interesting. I really do, but she was cool. But after all of that, baby, she didn't charge me nothing. She was like, okay, that'll be $30. Miss Vivian, here you go. And just gave me my receipt and I was like, I said, I'm going to let you to shellfish for thank you. She started laughing. You know what I mean? I'm going to let you to shellfish. But thank you, girl. Thank you, Miss Melissa. Y'all, let me hush her. Let me go. I'm gonna take y'all with me. Okay. You're a soap. I forgot water. I'm getting the stuff that my husband normally had. I need to get with it, shall. This boy has been throwing little crying every now and then. I'm like, y'all, these kids, these kids that are growing up during the pandemic, a lot of them, their behavior reverted. So you can be 10 years old and acting like you four and five years old. Their behavior reverted. And this has been, what are you saying? What am I trying to say? There's proof of this, basically. From pediatrician, psychologist, his cousin, who was just a few months younger than him by same thing. Sometimes I hear her on the phone throwing tantrums. What we consider tantrums, they just don't know how to handle their emotions. They just don't know how to. So it's, I don't remember being that egg and just crying because something, you know, a cry over other stuff has got hurt, but just crying because I couldn't get my way. And maybe I could have asked my mama, she would say, yes, the hell you were. But who knows? But now these kids cry. And I'm like, I don't even dare ask my husband because I'm pretty sure he's going to tell me about all the goatees to her. Anyway, y'all, look at that. I told JB that breakfast was good, honey. It was really good. And I told JB I would get him some cane, raising cane later on. And I have some leftover pizza that I ordered. Now, I don't eat pizza a lot, you guys. And so like, when I mean a lot, like maybe once or twice a year, I'll order pizza, how to go get pizza. And so I got some yesterday, but I'll try to get thin crust because the calories are in the crust. So what's up? I was going to get online and do a little bit of work from home today, even though it's Saturday, it's the weekend. I don't mind working on the weekend, y'all, because I'm able to catch up. What in, right? I'm maybe going to catch up on stuff and no one's interrupting me. Because those of you who know, when you're at work, even when you don't work remotely, when you're at work, people are sending you messages because they know you're online, they know you at work. Don't nobody know I'm gonna want to at work. So I can get a lot done in like an hour or two, more so than a full day of work sometimes. So I don't mind working on the weekend, but I'm not going to do that instead. I'm going to see my bed down. I'm going to continue reading my book. I'm reading a book by the author that wrote Gone Girl and Sharp Objects, great author. The story is called Dark Places, and this is very dark. But look, I need to find my book, The Lovely Bones, because does y'all hear about that author? Chow, she apparently had accused a black guy of rape, like I think like 15, 16 years ago, as she just, this information just came out this week. She just admitted that she lied. This man served, like do that, say he served like a while, and now she's apologizing. You know what? I think I have that book. I'm going to throw it away. I, hell, I want to burn it. I'm going to throw it away. Cause I've read the book like a lot of you, I'm going to throw that book away. That's ridiculous. Yeah, my mom just called on me. Hold on. So tell them what we're doing, baby. Where? The smell that goes under it. I know that people still do blogmas. Blogmas is, those you don't know, blogmas is when you're blogged every day in the month of December. My, my, my overall YouTube views are so low and my blogging videos are even lower. But y'all, my, my views are so low and blogmas takes up so much time. It takes a lot more time because you have to edit and upload every day. So Teresa, Teresa Rerez, look. I'm busy. I know I said that wrong. I'm busy, but I will be blogging a lot more for the month of December. So I hope you guys enjoy this particular vlog. Okay. I think I pronounced it right wrong. I think I'm busy as I store y'all aquafile. This is how JV set up our village. What are you saying, baby? Like, like this is supposed to be like an area, like the actual city area. I don't know why there's only one actual house. That's weird, but anyway. And then here is where the North Pole is at. Oh, wow. Okay. This is going towards the North Pole and then. And Santa's right there where there's nobody there. Anyways. Oh, and here are some villages that we try to paint black, but instead they look Dominican or Puerto Rican. Wait, you try to paint those? Yeah, cause they don't have, now you can buy black villagers, which are very expensive, not very expensive, but look, I painted her. She looked like she going with white face. You did. I did. Don't you look good? One of them right there look weird. Y'all, I know y'all really can't see me. Look, I'm going to gain so much weight. Well, not really. Cause I'm losing weight since my husband's not here. I mean, I'm in the 160s again. When he left, I was at a good 172, but I'm making something I haven't made in a very long time and that's rotelle dip. And honestly, it's about how much, how many calories you consume throughout the day. The only thing I've had to eat was like, y'all saw we were gonna like to eat. I literally only had half of that chicken. Hold on y'all, I'm picking up onions off the floor. I had half of that chicken and, one piece of that toast. That's all I've had to eat all day. So this, I probably have just a little bit and I'm not even gonna make a lot. So I'm making rotelle dip just in case. I haven't made this stuff, God. I would have to say the last time I made rotelle dip, 20s, so like 20 years ago. This is the last time. Cause one, we don't eat ground beef at home. We do eat steak, but chow. So y'all, I really don't like to talk about my family on my channel, but I'm gonna talk about my family on my channel. Meaning I don't really like to go into my personal life that much, but sometimes your family be acting like family. And this is why we got, and y'all when I've been drinking, I just bought one of these little things. Like I have bottles of wines, but I just prefer to have one of these little things and nurse it over like two days. All right y'all, so sorry, we got this towel here because my husband puts oil in his hair. So he, when he was here, we just keep this towel here. But anyway, y'all before I got back on camera with y'all, I was looking up, I am so, my Corolla, my car now is the longest car I've had ever in my adult life. Meaning that I've had it for seven years. I bought it when it was like only 100 miles is used, but I got it with only like 112 miles on it, right? Sorry y'all, my glasses. And so my slow butt went on, I'm like, oh my God, I have 80,000 miles on my car, but I had it for seven years, I got 80,000 miles. So I looked and see, okay, what's the average long can a Corolla last? I'm talking about 300,000 miles, that's crazy to me. I'm not gonna give up my family's business, but my niece is going through problems. She got married and pregnant last year. Has it been a year? Yeah, it's been a year. She got around this time last year. Sort of around this time last year. And she's been struggling and having issues with her husband. Long story short, she moved back with my mom and just going through the emotions with her husband. But before that even happened, when I was down with my sister, I think it was like two or three visits ago. Oh, through and through in August, all of our birthdays are in August. All of our birthdays are in August, right? And so my sister had did all this stuff for us. Y'all, let me, look at that, this is better. So my sister had planned all the stuff for me, my mama, sorry for me, my father and my niece. And my niece showed up at the last minute when everybody had left and was acting up plumb full. JV was talking to his cousin, they're like the same age. And I was like, cool, I could hear my sister yelling. I ain't really yelling, but going back and forth for someone, I'm like, cool, she's talking to me. She's like, she's talking to so-and-so, my niece ain't gonna say her name. I'm like, I'm pulling up, I'm coming over there. Baby, I went right over there. I heard my sister crying and not like a little bitty cry like I heard her sobbing. If I could hear you through from outside, then you really saw, I went, my niece came around the corner and was like, hey, auntie. I said, sit your ass over here. I went in and y'all, I try to watch my language on here, but your girl is a full-fledged cursor. I cursor flat out and I have no regrets. Look, I'm a truly, yo, when I go in on you, I have no regrets, none. And I can walk up in your face and still say hi and bye and walk away and have no family, friends, stranger. It doesn't matter who it is. I'm like that, especially if you treat somebody who I love, my sister. Let me tell y'all the latest. So not to go into all detail, but she's back home, just really, nearly talking to my sister just this weekend and she's like, yeah, she was going back and forth with my mama. I said, wait a minute, what? Some stuff popped off of her because again, she's living back with my parents. It's the one thing that you do in it with your own mama. Now you're doing it to your grandparents, baby. I call my mama up. I'm like, I'm trying to get down to what's going on. Anyway, and my mama explains to me that what happened and basically she's going back and forth. Now mind you, this girl is there. She don't pay any bills. She's there with her child because she doesn't have a job right now, unfortunately. She doesn't have finances. She doesn't even have a vehicle, but she has a whole husband, but because of whatever's going on, things happen, y'all, things happen. But the point is you being disrespectful, living with your freaking grandparents, trying to be as southern Baptist as possible. But I let my mama know, I heard what happened. If that happens again, I said, y'all, I've been away for a long time. I'm crazy. So if I hear that this happens again, I'm pulling up. I would drop all the way up there and I would lay in on her. If she says or disrespect fault, look, these folks, my parents are in their mid-60s. They ain't got time for this shit. They have raised their children. Hell, they help to raise their grandchildren. Now they got to deal with this and great-grandkids, hell no. I'm like, no, I will pull up. And if she watching this, because I know she watches my channel, I will pull up. I have no problems with it. It's just a mess. But anyway, y'all, nothing's gonna faze me. And I try, what I don't want to happen is I don't want to get to, because sometimes you have to pull yourself away from family drama, you know what I mean? So what I don't wanna do is get so involved that the drama seeps into my household because that's the shit we want. And I would never let that happen. But I will check people and fall back and come back into my house and be like, peace, cause I'm just like that. But yeah. Anyway, y'all, I'm making this rotel dip. This rotel, look at my baby. Look at J.B.
