 already know. I'm coming, I'm prepared. I'm coming up prepared. But I'm not. How y'all doing? It's time for another chit chat. My mom just combobulated. I don't know if that's a word but we just said it. And I'm going to be detangling all this hair. Now y'all, I've been experiencing a itchy scalp. It is ridiculous. I have a video coming about that and how I was able to remedy that short term. Yes, absolutely. Go ahead and wash your hair girl. But hear me out. I am going to be blowing out my hair. And you guys, when I blow out my hair, the whole process of all of that takes a couple of hours, right? And so I just don't have time right now. I just don't have time. And typically I'm looking at it right now. I like to delete. This is apple cider vinegar in here, which is why it's a light amber color. So I would typically use apple cider vinegar along with water. And I would do apple cider vinegar rinse. And then I'm going to wash my new hair. You know what I mean? So but I'm a bit busy. But so I said, I have a video on how I was able to remedy it. But girl, get to the point. This is a chit chat video. Y'all, y'all know how we do this. I talk about what's going on in my personal life, what I'm watching on YouTube and what I'm watching on TV. Let's go ahead and take this hair down. Now I do like to go ahead and detangle my hair the day before washing. So today is Wednesday. I'm going to detangle properly today. And then I'm going to wash tomorrow and blow out tomorrow. I need to get some more hair clips. I always say that. One, two, three, four. I just got five. Y'all hold on. I gotta go find some more hair clips. Hold on, girl. I feel like you didn't say in the past three years, I know. All right, you guys, let's talk about it. Let's bring you in some baby. Let's go ahead and section my hair off. I suppose we should have got a mirror right here. I know my husband is tired of me coming in there. He's in the master bedroom on the phone. I keep going in there as I should. It's my damn house too. Okay, anyway, y'all, what's going on in my personal life? Baby, it's Thanksgiving. I am so excited, y'all. This is my, I'm going to try really hard not to get emotional. This is our first Thanksgiving here in Texas as a family. And so the holidays are really big for people in the South. I think it's big for anybody when I shouldn't say that. It's big in general. But especially Texans, since we tend to be, or Southerners in general, we tend to be a little bit more family oriented. And so, yeah, it's all about getting together with your family. And we used to have a lot of traditions, especially in my family growing up, now that everybody is a little bit older, people don't do that as much. And, you know, mostly everyone does their own thing. But we still come together as, you know, like my parents and my sister and I, we try to come together. But it used to be like everybody would get together, big mama cooking everything and your aunts and uncles and in those cousins, you don't like, we all get together, you know, they come from out of state. And so that's just what you do. It still happens to a certain degree, but not as much. At least my husband has invited his family over to our house for Thanksgiving. And so, you know, him and I were going over the menus, make sure everything's okay. And then he told me last week that now one of his brothers is bringing his entire family. So we're expecting about 10 people or so. I won't have them on Cam, you guys, because they're a bit conservative. And honestly, not everybody wants to be on camera. They don't want to be, you know, why especially, you know, where they're here to enjoy family time. Now, my family doesn't care as much. So I will be showing my family in long view. They don't care as much though. Yeah, that's what's going on. I'm cooking a lot of food for things, a variety of food. I was going over the menu with my best friend and she's like, why don't you make some rice too, rice in general. I said that's a good idea. Because again, you know, girl, we're African. So I'm already making beef. I'm making beef tips, tips, tradition in their way. And so it will make sense to have that with rice. So yeah, that's what's going on. And so yeah, I'm really excited about that. Y'all, just a little testimony, my promotion finally came through. Those of you who don't know, I have been aiming for a promotion often on for a good two to three years. And then my manager was telling me that the beginning of the year, she's like, you know what, I put your lists in the bucket quote unquote to get a promotion. And like a lot of companies, promotions are few in between. You have to basically, you're competing with everyone else. And with my department, I was or am competing with another 120 people, right? And so I busted my butt, you know, these past few years. And especially this year quarter after quarter, I'm seeing the promotions come up, you guys. And I'm just like looking, I'm, you know, excited for the other people. And then I'm like, what the heck, what, whose lab do I got to sit on at this point? It was just, you know, and some people I trained, meaning I helped them to get, you're not necessarily helping to get in. But they slipped a great deal of time with me. And to see that happen again, I'm excited for them. But then I'm like, why can I, what am I doing? So the big drama with me working on my birthday, that was ridiculous. And I was done. And I was actually looking to get a different job, a different place of employment, either within the company or outside. My manager was aware of it. There's a process you go to try to, you know, get another job internally. And she's like, let me know. I support you. I said, well, I'm just looking, I'll let you know. For me personally, when I, if I find that something can be so challenging and there's a little bit too much push, I step away and I kind of do a separate flexion and be like, okay, perhaps it's not time for me to look for another position. Perhaps I need to stay my ass down and work on horning in my skills and see what I can do. So I'm going to wrap it up. An opportunity came up a couple of months ago, where they were looking for volunteers for a particular project. And I tried and then they said I would do it. At first I was nervous because I had to not only learn new software, which is basically creating a course, you create an online course. I had to learn that like this. And so I did it. I learned it in two weeks. And based off of it, I got a lot of good feedback. And I'm still getting great feedback. And so my manager came to me and she's like, you know, your, your name was already in the hat, you know, quote unquote, but now due to this, you're, you know, you're getting promoted. So that's it. That's why I wanted to talk about real quick. So that's personal. Like I've talked a lot about that, you guys. That's personal. My child, the weather is cooler here in Texas is sweater weather is get fat and be happy. I have gained 10 pounds since we've been here in Texas, but I'm fluctuating now where I'm losing the weight. I'm losing like it's like two pounds off one pound on two, but you know what I mean, it depends on whether or not get a Chick-fil-A sandwich that how that weight will go. So right now I am feeling good, but I definitely need to be mindful of eating out a lot. And so I am trying to be careful with that. So you guys, what I'm watching I need to grow nothing, still watching divorce court child, you know, divorce court really, I think some of those people are paid paid actors and stuff because there is no reason why folks should be in relationships with that much of fluid, but or perhaps they really are in those type of relationships because I'm pretty sure you and I, we know people, we know both men and women who stick and stay in these toxic ass relationships because they love them. And I've been together with him, young honest, since I was a teenager. So, so, so what? I mean that just kills me. So I'm watching those every now and then. I do like to watch episodes of marriage, what is it called? Marriage Huntsville, the one with Martell, Marcelle, Kimmy, and you guys. Unfortunately, the last episode, I guess Kimmy had went to go get a mammogram and it turns out that she has breast cancer. And that is so sad because she's actually one of my favorite cast members on the show. Her husband did post, I believe on Instagram, I need to catch up and look at, because I don't follow them on social media, but I need, I want to start doing that. Her husband is basically like, you know, she's doing good. She's going through treatment and she's well. She thinks you guys for all your well, you know, something like that. This is not exactly what she said, but I'm just summarizing basically. All I know is just from speaking to people that cancer treatment, chemo can be so draining and it can make you so tired. I mean, there's nothing you want to do, especially now with the weather getting cooler. You're cold a lot. It's just a horrible thing to have to go through. So I have prayers and I'm, you know, my prayers are surrounding her and her family. It's just really hard to have to go through that. So I feel really bad for her, but I will say this is breast cancer is caught, you know, pretty soon. It is very treatable. So you guys, if you are over certain age, please make sure that you are getting mammograms. And if you have cancer runs in your family, get it done early. Speak to your doctor, don't speak to Vivian, but get it done early. Cancer runs ridiculously crazy in my family, both breast cancer and ovarian cancer and prostate cancer, which are all hormonal cancers. And so I've been getting them mammograms since I was 32. I actually have a, I have one schedule, a mammogram schedule for next month, actually two more weeks. And so I stayed on that, that and pap smears. I stayed on it because a lot of this stuff can be preventative. A lot of this stuff can be detected early on. Can we treat it better? Excuse me, if it's detected early on. So anyway, you guys, let's talk about something that's not so down and draining. What I've been watching on TV and you guys, I want to go see the new movie, What Come to Forever. We're going to save that for last because I'm all up in my feelings about that. Girl, I've watched a new show series. Now I don't know if it's a limited series or what, but it's called Apple Tree Yard. I think it's on Hulu. When I tell you this show was so good and it starts, it's English. Okay, everything, everyone is in Britain or something. So one of the, the actress, the main character, she played in Hannibal, either Hannibal Rising or Hannibal. And she was the blind, remember the blind lady who Hannibal actually was starting to date. So she's the main character. It deals with SA, so trigger, and it has to deal with murder and a woman having an affair with a married man. When I tell you there's so many twists and turns to this, it's really good. Continuing to watch the accident, another British show, watching the accident. I'm on season two and so forth. So good. It can be a little confusing. It's one of those shows to where you got to sit there and you got to really pay attention. You can be lost. Kind of like freaking cruel summer when I stop. Yeah, I'm going to have to rewatch cruel summer because I can't, they go in between 1992, 93, 95. I can't deal with it. I'm going to have to rewatch it. It's good. It's a great plot, but I'm going to have to stop and watch it and really focus on it. So yeah, the accident is good. Girl, hand maids tell when I told you that season finale had me like, but after the last three episodes had me feeling a certain type of way for June. Now, yeah, June is getting on my nerves and spoiler alert. I will be giving away spoilers. So you just in case. So don't be being like, dang girl, you just told everything. I'm telling you spoiler. Okay. So Jill gets on my nerves. I do feel like, I want people to say there's no way you can love two people at the same time. There is, there is, you can actually love two people. You can be in love. I think you can be in love with two people at the same time because the love can be different. If that makes sense. So June is all wishy-washy. One thing I kind of don't like that she does though, and I see her doing is I feel like a part of her is using Luke. Who is her husband? Luke is her husband, right? So they are in Canada and girl, these Canadians are not playing or I'm like, wait a minute, I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice. I mean, you guys supposed to be have good attitude and because Canada does not want Americans there. So they're having protests. They are being very aggressive that they don't want these Americans there. So it's gotten to the point to where Americans are leaving Canada and seeking asylum or whatever you call it somewhere else in another country, right? So they have gone to Nick. What is his name? I don't know his name. We're going to call him Serena's Bay. Serena's Bay has Serena's Bay has gone to Nick several times, basically like if you want, you can come over to over here. We can protect you. You can bring your wife. You can be close to June. So you could have your inside wife and your outside sidehold. Okay, that's not what he said. Your side piece, J.K. June. And this is a thing that is absolutely crazy to me. Everybody seems to know that except for Luke, I don't think Luke knows as much or if he does know he's playing dumb as hell. But it seems to be that everyone seems to know that Nick and June really do have a thing for each other. Even Nick's wife is like, you're still in love with her? Yeah, okay. Girl, yes. So that's what's stressed out. So the funny-ass commander, the one with the gold tee, he's all white with the white gold tee, no white hair. I think he's slick as hell. I think he has some things going on. And so there is a threat to have June killed. And there comes an incident to where June is almost ran over by a Canadian protester, right? And she ends up in the hospital. Nick decides to come from Gilead to visit her, but she doesn't know that Nick visits her. She's in a coma, okay? And so he's seeing her on the way back to Gilead. Again, Serena's bed is like, look here, Nick. You came to see her and he's like, don't tell her I was here. He's like, okay, I won't tell her. He's like, this is Nick. Just make sure that you treat, you know, you watch out for her because they trying to kill it. He's like, yeah, I'm gonna watch out for her. Like, I'm gonna watch your mouth for Serena's ass. This is what Serena's bed is seeing, right? And so Nick is basically like, I gotta go. And so Serena's bed is like, Nick, why don't you come back here? She, you know, and Nick is like, she doesn't meet me. She doesn't meet me. She has a husband. She got her baby. I'm no one. And Serena's bed is like, Nick, you're so much to her. And you absolutely right Serena Bay. Nick is so much to her. So, um, June, I think in the previous episode, June finds out that Nick declined going to Canada. And, you know, she basically was like, so why did you not want to come over here and tap this over here in Canada? Yeah, I'm silly. And Nick was like, you have your own family. I have my own family. And, you know, we just, and so June is talking and then all of a sudden Nick says, she's pregnant. And June, June stops talking and that changes the dynamics a little bit, right? She's probably thinking, wow, okay, you just gonna get all of us knocked up then. Okay, so I don't get Nick's angle. He does confess to June, of course, and we can feel it that he loves her. Hell, his wife knows that he loves her. So let me go, I know I'm going back and forth. So, you know, cut and chase, Nick goes to, I don't know who's having a party, but he goes and he punches the guy with the white, that gray, the gray, the gray, what do you call them y'all? He punches the old dude with the gray hair to go to the goatee, the one that's always being panty and shit. He's like, you could have had her killed. I don't know if necessarily say, I don't know if he necessarily said it wasn't him. But I think there is the notion of if Canada wants to kill her, that ain't our problem. You know what I mean? Like if she gets killed, it's, she's done a lot. And so yeah, no. Child, so that happens. And so it's gotten to the point to where, oh, when, when June was attacked right, Luke came out and whooped that man's butt. And unfortunately, he died. He succumbed to his injuries and he died. So Serena's bae was like, Luke, yo ass is probably going to go to prison. We got to go. We ain't got time. We got to go. Get the baby. You know, we got to leave. We got to get out the country because Serena bae says that, you know, we got, we can get you out the country. There's a lot of, there's a lot of Americans that are fleeing to other countries. So she does it. They get on the train. They get on this train. Then all of a sudden Luke decides to sacrifice himself and June is crying and stuff. He's like, well, look, I'm like, girl, June, you stop it. See, that's why I don't get it. Like she's fighting for this stuff. But then you going around to Nick and asking Nick why he didn't come over to Canada, but then you getting upset that your husband is turning himself in. That's a great opportunity to get your side piece. So I just don't understand why she's all over the place. I really do feel like June is why she's on the train. Right. I'm not going to talk much about Serena because there's a lot of plot holes that are missing in the show. I feel like while she's on the train, um, she hears a baby crying. She looks down and then Serena's ass holding her baby. And so June walks down with her baby and Serena like gives her a smile. Like, do you have a diaper? I don't want to look at like hell for hell. Now ain't got no diapers, but it just cuts to them. Smile, you know, just June, I mean, Serena giving his weird ass awkward smile and it just cuts to her because those of you who don't know Serena has been put in a place to where she's almost like a handmaid and it's very ironic, but a part of it still feels sorry for her. I really do. Girl, okay, cutting to reasonable doubt. Baby, this show was so unexpected and good. Now, this is the one where the lawyer is defending, well, she was defending Michael Eileen. Then she got a case of a billionaire who supposedly had, again, SA, um, a worker who he was also having an affair with dead. And then this woman unfortunately ends up dead. So then it turns into a murder case. First of all, the last episode, Michael E. Lee is going through, I don't know, Damon. Isn't that Damon? Damien? Damien. Damien is going through Jack's cell phone. Jack says the name of the lawyer. And so her old fling who used to do the security officer, it's like, Hey, you know, I haven't heard from you. Damon is looking at the phone like, it's helpful. And he deletes those text messages just from the other one. So like I said, you know, he's breaking her off some, because he's been in jail for like, dammit, 16 years, child. And so he's like, you know, he's, you know, doing what he wants. And so I just don't understand why Jacks, Jacks, Jackson, what is her name? Jacqueline. Her name is Jacqueline. That's her real name, but they call her Jacks. I really don't understand why she did not see or why she couldn't tell that this man had a thing for her, that is not just sex. Like he really did have a thing for her. This character to me, you guys, again, she's a lawyer. She's a good lawyer too. And she's going through a separation with her finance husband, Lewis. She is the epitome, in my opinion, of someone who was, who was very selfish. There's a lot of things that she does. I can tell she cares about her family, but there are some things that she, that she do as a whole that is very selfish. And it's very self-seeking. So I know I'm all over the place. So Michael Ealy, aka Damien had removed and deleted those text messages and child. I guess her husband, Lewis, saw them out to eat somewhere. They were having dinner, meaning Jackson, Damien. And baby, within 24 hours, he was screwing somebody that she knew. And I mean, let me, let me just say this. I shouldn't say that he was, he was being intimate. He was laying a pipe for someone else. When I tell you, he did that move to where he lifted that girl up and was holding her in front of him. You know what I'm talking about, holding her in front of him. I'm like, oh, Lewis, you, you work out. Lewis, Lewis is fit. He's working out. Lewis is his character. He's such, he's, he's the type of man that wears his, he wears his emotions on his sleeve. He's very loving. He still cares for Jax so much. He just wants her to make him a priority over, and not necessarily him, but to make the family a priority over work. And it's not necessarily to say that that could be the case all the time, but it seems like that. It seems like Jax has a habit of forever putting her job above her family. And so that's going on. But yeah, girl, he was missing. I don't even know if this person is really Jax's friend. I couldn't remember if this is someone that she definitely knows, right? So that's going on. Chow, I'm sorry, but the billionaire, I have to, I have to forgot the billionaire's name on the show because I keep forgetting. When I tell you, he is the epitome of a narcissistic, narcissistic bum. So for a while, I'm going to tell you all of it. Before a while there, I was thinking that. So the wealthy businessman name is Braden and the employee that he's accused of murdering Kalisha, right? So I thought for a while that Braden's wife, I think that's his name, Braden's wife was the one that actually killed her because she showed up to Kalisha's house and went down on her husband. She knew people are so damn petty. Then for a minute, I'm like, okay, if it's not Braden's wife, then maybe it is the English business partner because he doesn't like Kalisha either, right? He doesn't like her either. So I'm like, oh, maybe he did it with his little ass. You never know who it is. So Michael Ealy is showing signs of, I don't know what it is you guys, but he is breaking down. And when I tell you, like I said, the last episode, I was very shocked at how things turned out. I hope that's going to be a season two. Again, this is called reasonable doubt. It is primarily a black cast. It has a lot of fine people. The number one name-dropping person is Michael Ealy. He's in it. And Michael Ealy just went crazy. I'm not going to give all the details, but he just, I'm like, come on, life scan. You know, I normally don't go for y'all, but you fine, you older. He's over 45, I think, and you just snapped. So it's good. You guys try to check it out. So y'all, JD and I went to the movies this past weekend. We went to go see Wakanda forever. Now, what the hell is happening here? Hold on, y'all. A whole retina. I'm not going to give a lot, but I will just, you know, express my feelings. I'm not going to give any spoilers. I will say that no spoilers for Wakanda forever. Girl, first of all, let me tell you something. I don't eat, I do not eat. Y'all going to say, damn, you are so ghetto. I am. I really don't eat movie food. I pack my own snacks. I will pack a whole meal, which is why I did. I have no shame. So I had drinks. I got nuts, candy, gummy bears. And then I went to Wendy's and I got a chicken sandwich. Girl, I had a whole chicken sandwich, two sets of fries, some lemonade. I went in there and look, one of the lady was behind me and she started laughing. She said, that's what I should have done. I said, girl, I said, this is a small, hick ass movie theater. Ain't nobody going to come in here. The movie theater is so small, you guys. It's one of those, it's the original old school setup. You can't even come in the chairs. It just rocks back and forth. Well, I was literally sitting up like this. You go in, you know how typically in the movie theater, they get you your ticket and all that outside. And then you go in, uh-uh, you got to get your butt all the way in. You go to your popcorn, your drink, and you get your tickets from the same person. That's how small, y'all, that's how small it is. So anyway, so while we're there, and it feels up very quickly, it's starting to feel up, but we side, side. Now we wouldn't never go to that movie theater again. I'm not even into going to movies in general because of this right here, right now, especially doing COVID. Why this man, older man came to sit, sit next to me. He was about two, two chairs down. Why was he coughing? It was coughing a lot. Like, I said, I'm not. I said, Jamie, I want you to move on. We put about eight chairs between us. I said, no. And if I was the girl in front of, because he's coughing right on her neck, I'm like, if I was her, I would have moved. Honestly, I would have moved to a whole another theater. It's just, that's just too much to me. And why are you going to the, to the movies? If you sick, if you cough, even if you're not sick, we're in the middle, we're still in the pandemic and you coughing. Baby, I got all the way up for a minute. There, I put my mask on. I was like, you know, give me sick up here. I'm trying to watch Wakanda forever. Get out of here with that. So y'all get to the point. So Wakanda, Wakanda forever, of course, they started off with a tribute to Chadwick Bosman. It was beautiful. It was, it was well done. And in the actual series, if I believe, he dies anyway in the series. I don't read any comics, but he dies anyway. And so they do a tribute to it, to him. And oh my God, it is just, it was, it was a tear jerker. This was an interesting part two. I absolutely love the fight scenes. I love that. Oh my God, that beautiful actress, she's English. She has a defined facial features and she played in, oh my God, I'm gonna, I'm gonna forget. She played on another show I was watching where she was also SA2 and she woke up and couldn't remember. Oh my God, what I can't remember. When I tell you this, that woman is absolutely stunning to me. I mean, her nose, her eyes, her lips, her cheekbones, she is the epitome of royal beauty, in my opinion. And of course you have a little pita. And so this deals with, there is a underworld kingdom. And I'm not giving, this is not a spoiler because this is part of the trailer. And there's a water god and they have Mexican background. Let me, let me back up. It's indigenous Mexican. And so the pita of course is speaking Spanish and her Spanish is flawless because Lupita is actually Kenyan Mexican. She was born in Mexico when she first came on the scene and what was it, 12 years a slave. I remember I was just trying to find some information on her. And there were a lot of interviews, not a lot, but there were several interviews with her speaking Spanish fluently. Not like someone I went to school, I took, you know, Spanish one and Spanish two. No, this is someone who legit speaks, you know, she speaks it like she's from there because she is. And those of you who don't know, and it was something that I found out years ago that it's interesting what, what we can do, what we can do to each other as humans. But there is actually some, I don't want to say animosity, but there's, for a minute there, certain people in Mexico were looking down upon indigenous people that are there. Absolutely crazy. It was great. It had some good action scenes. I loved the overall story. I was moving, look, I was moving and crying towards the end. They did another little tribute. I got up. I'm like, Jamie, it's time to go. I didn't want to, because I know there was other things to come at the end of the movie, but I was already, my makeup was, you know, I was like, I can't do this. I want to go. It was beautiful, beautiful, absolutely stunning, well done. Is it as good as the first one? No, because the hype for the first one, it was so overwhelming. You know what I mean? You could feel it. And it is not like that now, especially with him being gone. And it's just, I feel, I feel a certain way because I so wish he could have been around for the second one. With that being said, I really do hope that they make a movie with the indigenous god, the Mayan god. I can't remember his name, you guys, in the series. I hope they make one just for him. Because first of all, he's fine. And that's about it. Y'all, okay, y'all, I'm all over the place. I'm almost done. Let's do this last section of detangling my hair. And then we're going to pin my hair up and we're going to be good. Okay. Okay. So what are y'all watching? We can use the last few minutes to tell, y'all tell me what you're watching. What are you watching on TV? Are you going to go see Wakanda forever? You're like, hell no, girl. We're not trying to go to no sickly ass movie theater. Yeah, don't do it. Now I will say this. If you stream it, they don't, I don't want to say they don't make as much money, but they do lose some money as opposed to going to the movie theater. So what are y'all watching on TV? There was something, one series that one of you guys recommended. Oh, okay. So the Game of Thrones, what is it? There's one about the dragon season. I'm not, I'm not interested. Because one again, I didn't even finish Game of Thrones. Girl, I didn't even finish the wire. That's how I started watching the wire a couple of years ago. I'm like, I'm only like three episodes away because I felt like I got all the good episodes I wanted to get to. So I'm gonna, I'm done. You know, yeah, I'm killed by some, some of my people. Idris, Idris is dead. What am I gonna do? So yeah, yeah, let me know. I'm gonna go ahead. Now one of the things I like to do, you guys. So, so this is like this, right? It's all over the place. So I make sure that my ends are definitely, look at that long twist there. And so now, okay, now what I do, two things. I'm gonna take some hair oil, go to my scalp. And then we're going to put this hair up. Okay. All right, hold on me up. Now my signature updoos, literally, I could do updoos with twists. I would literally do this, put this over like this, see that? And then I'll take this, bring this over like that. Isn't that cute? I would do something like that. And I could wear that for like a whole week. But we ain't gonna do that because my hair is about two weeks old. So I'm going to take some hair ties and just bring this back. And I don't want to be too tight because you guys, the reason why I have kept my edges, you see how full my edges are? And honestly, they used to be a lot more fuller than this. The reason why I kept my edges, I'm very careful about not snatching my hair or putting too much tension on my hair. So that's loose. And that's back. I'm looking like Norman Bates, mom, but that's okay. All right, you guys, that is it.
