 Good morning! Coming to you live from my kitchen table in my bathrobe, but I'm here to remind a couple people about a couple things. I brushed my hair and brushed my teeth, put some earrings on, and here I am. See if anybody wants to chat, I woke up very chatty today. It's also very windy again today, so if I disappear, that's because they turned off the power. Guys, there's four of you here. I just woke up really, really, I woke up. Good morning, Cam. I woke up. Hi, Jerry. I gotta put on my glasses, so I can see who's here. Who's here? Good morning. It is, keep in mind too, here is not even eight o'clock yet, but here's why I'm here. I was laying in bed. This will be on, I'm gonna vlog today, so this will be on my next vlog. I was watching some YouTube and thinking, I need to get up. Oh wait, for those of you four who are here, do you have your water? Darn, we're back down to three. I don't care. I'm here for two reasons. One, because I'm chatty, and two, because I wanted to remind you about your water, and tap in on the fact, good girls, that it's Monday. And I'm gonna start, I'm gonna take it day by day, but I am going to start today, this morning, on the right foot. I've had my breakfast, I had overnight oats, I'm on the purple plan, so my overnight oats were only two points, one for the premier protein, and one for the butterscotch chips that were in there, so delicious. I filled up my gallon water, and I'll be ding-dang darned if I'm not gonna drink that whole thing today, because I gotta do something, you guys. I'm getting too high, and I have to do for my mental health. I've got a good morning, Anna. Oh no, what can we do for you, my friend? We're here to do it, all of us. Let us know. I brought friends here, whatever we can do. Oh, you know what? I'm not gonna monetize, I guess, because I have all this music on here. Is it too loud in the background? Is it hard to hear me over it? Hey Google, turn down the volume. There we go. Anna, so let me tell you, let me repeat some of the stuff I said last time I came live, is that I have just been a huge bump in the log. Mentally, it's like I just lay in bed, and I don't get out of bed. I just lay there, because I'm like, why am I gonna get out of bed? I can't go, we're on total lockdown here in California. Even when we're not on lockdown, I tend not to go anywhere. I've drilled myself into a cute agoraphobia. So I was listening, laying in bed, watching YouTube, and then I heard scramblings from Shorty in the other room. Next thing I knew, I heard Christmas music, and sure enough, I came out here, he turned on the Christmas music, he had made his eggs, he was sitting here, eating his eggs, enjoying the tree. I mean, it's like living with a bachelor, whoever, which one of you guys said it? Not bad, Kim, it wasn't too loud? Okay, good. One thing about eating healthy, your tummy hurts when you drink alcohol. I totally feel you, I'm getting out of bed, but you got the kid, let's see, you have to. I don't. The one thing that gets me going is work, and my boy, right. And I have found that, and I can't pinpoint why, but when Oliver's home, even though he's in that in the room with me physically, guys, would you guys hold on one minute? I want to go make sure he's signed in for school. Kim, watch the door, don't let anybody out, okay? I just want to make sure he's signed in. I'll be right back. I heard somebody in his class say that their power was out, and it is windy here, and the skies are kind of dark and luminous. Luminous, that's not the word. Luminous means bright. So again, if I disappear, that's why. So yeah, and I don't know what it is about him. He just, yesterday was mine and Steve's anniversary. I stayed in bed until like 11. I have, I have no get up and go. So today's Monday, I'm going to try to get up and go and got up and went. Did I miss anybody? Kim, did you watch the door? I guess. Yes. To you guys who commented on his decorating video, thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it. I was watching the dislikes, bing, bing, bing, from the folks who do not care for me, and that's why I put the pin to comment. I'm out of breath from running into his bedroom. So let's see, healthy. Okay, sorry, I sound like somebody was at the door, but it's just the leaves beating against everything. So you guys have your water and Anna, there's just a few folks that every time they see it, one of my videos go up. They don't even watch it. They just hit dislike. And that's okay. It's, but when it's, pick on me, you know what I mean? Go ahead. I'm an adult. I'm, but don't pick on my kid. He wanted to put up a video of his house that he loves to decorate it. And you know how that is. As mothers, we all know how that is, right? Cheers. Does it, is anybody drinking any coffee? You think I had a full craft today, but I barely had any. I just woke up like this. So I'm going to plan what I'm going to have for lunch. Everything I have though is kind of more for the green plan than it is the purple plan. I should probably do the green plan, but I've already tracked. Excuse me. Let's see. Yeah, I'll just stay on purple. I'm good. I've got 19 points for the rest of the day because I've gained, I have so many stupid, good Kim, stupid points. I'm going to just fill up my, my gallon and drink the whole gosh darn thing, especially if the power goes out. I'm not going to have anything else to do. Right. I'll just drink water and go to the bathroom all day. How was your guys's weekend? Not eventful like mine? Again, our anniversary is yesterday. Steve asked me if I wanted to go to our favorite Mexican restaurant. And I just couldn't do it. So he went and he called in the order. This is how what's the word I'm looking for. He was really trying to please me yesterday. He called them, made the order, went and picked it up and brought it home. He never calls anybody, you guys. And so we ate it here at home. Then Oliver came home. We watched some TV, some Christmas schmaltz. And that's it. Did anybody have any non-scale victories over the weekend or problems over the weekend or any of the above or just, just like me, you're just going day to day. Take it day by day by day. And this is a good start for the week for me. I got to just keep this up. I'm not going to go live every day, but I just felt like hopping on and checking in and see how everybody was doing. Jerry says, it was surprising to see the change with WWI online. I attended an online meeting. Oh, Jerry. So let's talk about that for a minute. Had you not attended an online meeting before? And what do you mean by the change? Do tell my friend. Do tell. Type away if you can. I haven't been to an online meeting in three weeks. I haven't been to a real meeting and the leaders are changing. You've been hungry this week. Kim, that's weird when that happens. I never know why either. Too national. I don't even know what any of that means. How am I so out of the loop? When it comes to WW, I'm just, that's how bad I've been. I track. Hi, Judith. So nice to see you too, my friend. When you come in and you leave a random hello to me, I always see them and I'm always like, oh gosh, I wish I could see her and say hello. Too national. Now, see, I'm going to have to check that out. Jerry, you've peaked my interest now. Why am I so thirsty? I guess the format is changing online. Was it, it was in Zoom though, right? Okay, because what they've done with us is it's my normal leader only on a different day. She does our meeting on Saturday instead of Friday. Is this the first time you've done a Zoom meeting since they've gone virtual or have you been to one before? What am I wearing? I'm getting warm. Maybe I'll have to message my leader and ask her what the dealio is. Oh, so it looks different than past meetings. In essence, what you have been telling me, but I'm having trouble. I'm having trouble with the thought process. So that leads me to believe then that they're cutting back on for you. That's awesome. I know a couple ladies that go to a couple of weeks. That's great. And do you find that it helps? I hope. Oh my gosh, I haven't seen you in so long. How are you, friend? I hope everything is well. It's so nice to see you. So, Jerry, I think that's fantastic that you go and do you find that between all those different meetings and all those different leaders that the way they present things are very, very different? Because I've only gone to two other Zooms. I know, I hope. And not in a good way. Leaders that were not my leaders. And it's interesting how different they are. Some leaders do all the talking and don't let us do any talking. Other leaders do the exact opposite. And then there's the kind of in between. Maybe I should look up meetings. Let me see when my meetings are here today. What time? Maybe I'll have to pop in on one. I don't know. I feel this is my problem. Yes, I find a takeaway from all. I love it. Good for you, Jerry. That's fantastic. That's so motivating for me. And that's why I came on here. Because I want to share some motivation and pick some up from you, swells. All right, Kim. Enjoy your day. And I'll see you online. Fig truffles. WWE has fig truffles. Oh, those sound kind of good, don't they? Don't be sorry. I'm just not picking up what you're throwing down. It's my fault. All right, so what was I going to say? Oh, my meeting's here. Let's see what today's Monday. There's one at 9.30. Maybe I'll sit in and on it and check it out. They're good. Oh, I'm so happy to hear that. I haven't heard of any good news anywhere anytime soon. Because we can't even go to restaurants. We aren't even allowed to eat outside. We can pick it up and bring it home if we want. But we are on shutdown, lockdown, Californians. You can't do anything. But I am going to try to go for a walk. But you know, I'm afraid if I go for a walk and the electricity goes out and I leave all of her hair, that would be no bueno. Hope do you have your water? We all have our water. I'm asking everybody hourly, minutely, quarterly. So let's see if I look here. Oh, so that means our regular, our since we're on shutdown, we won't have any regular meetings. So forget that Anita. I see there's no meetings on Tuesday. That's interesting. We always had Zoom on Tuesday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Huh, interesting. Things that make you go, hmm, good morning, Linda. Yeah, I woke up very chatty today. So I thought what better thing to do than come on here and see who's around and wants to sip and put some coffee and water with me. Again, if all of a sudden I'm like kapoot, that's because the electricity is off. It's very windy out here again today. So yeah, Jerry, I'll go to that 930 meeting and see what I can find out is going on on this end. I'm trying to find some new food ideas. The problems I've been having is, was saying on my last live, is I'm totally under eating. It's like nothing sounds good. And so I think I need to go through the WW app, look around. I'm sorry, I'm having trouble with my eyes, you guys. Total trouble. Has anybody else besides Jerry gone to any meetings, you guys, or have you guys just been like me and just doing the best you can? You know what, Hope? It's pretty warm. My house stays cold and then I go outside, see what it's like. Weather in Seamy Valley. It's warm compared to you guys, but boy, 64 right now. It's going to get to be a high of 72. 72 is like our number. Why I always think you're out here. Who's out here? One of my Jessica's is out here. You miss the warmth? Oh man. Good morning. How are you? Yeah, Judith. Any, and I did. Where are you, Jerry? Judith, have you not even gone? Do you know that you guys can sit in on a Zoom meeting, even if you're only online? Did you guys know that? Well, it's about time you showed up. I was going to hunt you down and do something terrible to you. I've been like, where's Lou? Where is she? How come she's never showing her up? Not even, oh, Minnesota. Not even on Instagram. Where have you been? What have you been doing? Why aren't you sitting at home like the rest of us? And do you have your order? So what do you guys want to talk about? We don't talk about anything. Yes, anybody can just go into your contact. If anybody needs it, eating. I've been eating. Jane's in Wisconsin. It's 35 there. Ishka Mibble. Hello, hello. I'm happy to see you too. I'm so happy to see all you guys. I'm so glad you came to keep me company. Hi, Jan. Oh, I'm glad you're are you staying in? You know what? Let me ask you this, Jan. You said Houston, right? Hi, Jane. Oh, I'm so glad you guys are all here. I figured that I couldn't be the only one sitting home with my coffee and water. Hi, Tracy. What was I going to ask you? Oh, I was going to ask about something, but let's not talk about that. I'm just worried about my folks in Texas. My buddy lives in Texas and the things she tells me that go on there. But we're not going to talk about that. Eating, eating. Lou, let me ask you this. Are you maintaining or are you up or do you even care at this point? Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I appreciate that so much. I was just telling the gals before you popped in that, you know what? It's 28 Massachusetts. I wish I could switch with one of you swells. It's scary here too, Tracy, and I don't understand people that just can't go by the rules. But anyways, what was I going to say? Who was I talking to? What was I going to say? Hey, Judith, they are well. Thank you for asking. They're just hunkered down like the rest of us on a golf course, which is nice that my dad can sit on the patio and look at the golfers. Shoot, I was going to, oh, Lou, I was, okay. Sorry about that. A bunch of you popped on at once and I was trying. I didn't want to be rude. I was just telling the ladies that, you know, there's those people out there. The minute I throw up a video, they got to hit the dislike button before they watch it, which when it comes to me, I expect it. I know it's going to happen, all that stuff, but don't mess with my kid. Mine aren't either. And you know what? Blueberry from Willy Wonka. Thank you, you guys. You know, it's hard because our home is not a large home. We only have the kitchen and this area here decorated. This is what happened. Let me tell you what happened. Somebody, and I got to it before he did, somebody posted my decorating video to another YouTuber's decorating video. And the two couldn't be more different because the other channel is a large home and the semantics are completely different. And that just sent me, oh boy, that sent me over the edge. And I'm pretty sure I had not seen the name before. So it was either anyways, thank you guys. Lou, okay. Yesterday was our anniversary and all I did was lay in bed and Steve was like, let's go out. We finally, I finally got up and got dressed and we went, we had to get a star for our tree. We got a new tree and a new star. We haven't had a star in forever. And I finally realized yesterday the reason I'm not going anywhere doing anything is because my clothes don't fit me either and I refuse to buy any. I have one pair of jeans that fit me and none of my shirts except for this goofy one that I wear every single day cuts, covers my gut. That's how high I am. You know what, Tracy? I haven't even been watching any other than my Disney ones. And who else have I been watching? Just my Disney peeps. Thank you, Lou. Thank you so much. We're happy with it. We bought it side and scene online. So we were thrilled with it. Oh no, Tracy, that's not good. Well, honey, they got very personal was the thing they actually typed in things like, well, not like this person's house was nice and the flow was nice. Your house is too cluttered. You just have, I mean, they got very, very personal. And it's obviously somebody who didn't, who knows me and doesn't care for me. And that's fine. But it was his, I can't even talk about it. I'm going to get pissed off all over again. And thank you. I should have got out of bed and made the old boy happy, but I just didn't feel like going anywhere and doing anything. Cause again, it's like, oh my gosh, I got blood all over my shirt. Am I bleeding? So yeah, I think that's, I figured that out. Thanks, Mindy. Yeah. And you know what? The last three we had that wouldn't hold anything at all. So now we can. Yeah. The naughty list. You know what? I totally, I completely believe in karma and while I may not see it, it'll happen. It just, it was very personal. That's the thing. It wasn't just a general comment like your house is too cluttered or why do you decorate the way you decorate? They got very, very personal and didn't set off a good tone. Thank you, honey. We, you know what? This is, this, we, we wouldn't even be decorating if it wasn't for that little boy. Um, we're old, we're over it. We probably would have a tree, a couple of little things, but it's for him. It's to make him happy and it does make him happy. And Tracy, Sydney, thank you, Tracy. That's the funny thing is I don't even have much Disney Christmas decor. It's all pretty generic. No doubt hope. And that's the thing that I tried to reply by saying, well, I made the mistake of trying to reply. And then I was like, why am I even doing this? I blocked, deleted, and then made my pen post about, is it because you don't want to or because the way the world is right now or you need help or I'm sorry to hear that. They are miserable. I mean, thank you, you guys. I appreciate it. I don't even want no why I fed any energy into it. I do know why because it had to do with my boy, but we're happy in here. Okay, gotcha. You don't have central heat hope. How do you guys stay warm out there? You know what I just noticed? Hope from this side, because we sit over there, obviously, I don't normally sit here. And we let him do most of the decorating and the tree is kind of leaning that way because he decorated most of their front and not much of the back. Wow, that's a trip. So I am going to try to vlog again too. I started vlogging today. So if any of you guys watched today's vlog tomorrow, you'll just see me repeating what I've already said down here today. This video isn't going to count though, because since I've had the music on in the background, it can't be monetized. And I don't care. I just got on here to chit chat with my friends. Have a great day Ishgibibble. Thank you for popping in and saying hi to me and the gals. I should probably get off pretty soon too. I should do a couple things in case the juice goes off. Have a green day. Well, she could be on the green plane. I'd be fine too. Is anybody doing the purple with me? Oh, look at these. Did I show you guys these ornaments I found on eBay? Look how cute they are. In case you can't tell I have them for Christmas lights and bulbs. That's fine, Tracey. I'm going to be going soon too, but I appreciate you popping in and saying hi and keeping me company. I sure do. Hey, you know what's weird? I got an email saying that they were delivered yesterday and I called Steve and I said, was there a package by the door and he forgot to give it to me? And he's like, no, no, no. I went back to the email and they were delivered and they were in the mailbox. Purple. I'm on purple too, my love. He asked you last year, but all over us shot up this year. He's like, he's humongous. If he walks out at you, he's in school. He wants to walk in the air. Honey said, one year we had a beautifully matched coordinated tree and the children assistant, I'm redoing it with the hodgepodge of old scruffy hammy stuff. Isn't that the way? Team purple for Tracey too. Jan, have a great day. Thanks for popping in. I sure do appreciate it. Thanks, Lou. I think they're cute too. I'd like to go on eBay now and then I'm gonna look up vintage Christmas decor. Seeing if I missed anything here. The dentist, yikes. Well, there's still 22 of us here and we don't have to talk just about Weight Watchers, like I always say. If there's anything anybody wants to talk about, you know what, Hope? That's why I get on here and you're so, so, so welcome. Thank you because I do it out of a purely selfish reason. That's because I know that somebody will hop on and talk to me, right? Theme to what, Tracey? Your home, your Christmas decor? I have two themes. Themes. I like oversized ornaments. If you've, if you saw my video, that's nothing. I don't know if you guys can truly tell how huge that whole thing is. It's humongous and I have overnight, overnight oversized lights. But yeah, I only have a handful of couple of Disney things and those were all gifts. I missed my park though. Oh, I missed my park. Why are they playing Fiddler on the roof? My theme is what makes us happy tomorrow. I haven't watched the news in a couple days because it was just a little gnome tree. Getting to be too much. When you wake up in the morning and the first name that goes through your head is Joe Biden or anything other than your husband or your child or your grandchildren, you know you're watching too much news. So I haven't been watching it, but no, we are not getting it tomorrow. Sorry, I keep drinking, but I'm so thirsty for some reason. I don't know what's up with my eyes. Tomorrow, huh honey? That's wild. Mama says all we have is the tree up. I think the bin with all the other decorations are lost in the shed somewhere. I feel like the place does not look so festive. It's hard because some of us just aren't feeling festive. Good. I knew you would. Lou, I'm telling you, I'm not kidding. Yesterday morning I woke up and the first thing in my head was Joe Biden or Dr. Fauci. And it's like I just can't. So again, I went back to watching, you know, I'm watching all my old movies on the Turner Movie Channel and I watched a really good one yesterday. It was beautiful. Gosh, their outfits, their wardrobes are just so phenomenal. The women, the way they dressed back then and their hats. This one was with Van Johnson. I don't know who the other guy was. Lucille Ball and Esther Williams. They're on Esther Williams run. News fast. I like that. That's a great way to put it. I'm wearing my earrings. I wish that you guys could see them better. These were my Christmas present or birthday present from Susie. Susie, where are you? She's in the Pacific Northwest. She's probably still tucked in bed. That's all I've been doing, Lou, is I've just been putting in, remember in my videos, how I used to tell you guys about the hole I made in the old couch because I would just sit in the same place all day. That's all I've been doing is making a hole on the new couch, watching old movies. Oh my gosh. And I've been watching old movies. I've been watching the, I liked the competitions on the Food Network during the holidays. And then those are fun because I mean, that's so great to me, the people that are able to do those crazy things with the sugar and the cake and everything. Are you getting a couch hole too, honey? I mean, mine is, I can feel, it's a branded couch, and I can feel the springs springing. No, I did see Easy to Wed. Which one was this one? Maybe it was Easy to Wed. Hey, have you guys, I know I have a question for you, the birds. The birds remind me of my grandmother who didn't like me. She, I'll never forget this for some reason. She was babysitting me. She didn't like me. My grandmother and my dad, my dad's mother didn't like me. I was the only fat kid in the, the only fat grandchild she had. And I had to have been nine or 10. And she wanted to watch the birds and it was on TV. And she, she made me lay down on the couch next to her, but she put blanket over my head so I couldn't be scared by watching the movies, but I laid there under the blanket listening to it. Who does that? I know, it makes me want cake too. Oh my gosh. In fact, I'm gonna come clean. Okay, can you see it? It's right there. You can't see it very well. It's in my video though. That's Oliver's advent calendar. And grandpa got Oliver some pretty darn good candy for his advent calendar. Let's just say that last night I had to replenish it. Uh-oh, my batteries guys. The only time I watch it, Mindy is, um, or a mom, I'm sorry. Problems with my eyes is during this time I normally don't watch it. That's all I've been doing, Mindy. All of them. Yeah, I hit the candy. So last night I said to Steve, um, where did you put the advent calendar candy? So what I've been doing, you guys, and if we die, we're gonna die in a minute here, is what I do is I go onto AMC, like I'll start right now, and I'll go through it for like the next week, and anything that I see that I want to watch, I just hit record, and then it's all on there and ready for me when I want to watch it. That's a, that was a good idea, Samantha. I thought I would told myself last year that I was gonna do that this year, but of course I forgot. Um, plus he's at this age where I don't even know, he only wants like two things for Christmas and anything else, and he keeps forgetting about the darn thing. He hasn't had anything out of there for like five days. Lucille Ball was so beautiful. Wasn't she? I mean, I've never been a big fan of hers, like I didn't watch the Lucy show or anything, and being in black and white, you didn't really get a feel for how she looked. She looks beautiful in this movie, really, really beautiful. I think I have what's it called, my dad, when my dad worked with her, and my dad never said a mean thing about anybody, ever, except for her and Tatum O'Neill, and he didn't like her. So I think that kind of like had an effect on me and how I felt about her. She was beautiful in that movie, Lucille. She was just those blue eyes, boom, but she was tough to work with. He said, he said she was very hard to work with. She was popular. You know what? I knew, my dad is was, I shouldn't say was, because he's still alive, but he's just not here anymore. He just never said anything mean about anybody, but he did say that she and Tatum O'Neill. Yeah, they're in the good old summertime. I just watched that one too. I love Judy Garland. Getting your redheads mixed up. Well, I think I'm gonna say goodbye before we're cut off, because I want to thank you guys for keeping me company. It just, it means so much to me, especially during this time where I'm having no contact with anybody out in the real world. And when I just hop on like this and you guys come over and you talk with me and you do keep me company, you know, when I'm looking like bloody hell, I appreciate it more than you guys know. I really do. I should have something set to talk about and I don't and it's like, but it's, I have to remind myself it's my channel and I can do whatever I want if I want to just sit here and stare at the screen. I can write. So I am vlogging today. I'll put it up tomorrow. Samantha says, thanks for coming on live this morning. Oh, Samantha, thank you for that. Tonya, hi, I'm gonna miss you. See, you can't pop didn't write his own pop now. Thank you Susan and Judith and Jerry. Oh, Jerry, thanks for saying that. I am going to go do something with this because I'll go on national YouTube looking like crap. But God forbid I go to a WW meaning looking like crap, right? I think my priorities are a little mixed. Thanks, Tracy vice versa. All right, kids, you're the best. Just the best. I treasure all of you. Thank you. And I'll be back because you know what? It just it mentally, it just it boosts my morale. And I hope it helps yours. Keep in mind next time I come on live, if anybody needs anything to talk about again, it's not about me. It's about all of us collectively as friends and as friends. And Lou, quit staying away, lady. Love you guys. Have a great day. And I'll see you so, so soon.
