 Yes, girl. I am back. Look, let me tell you, disclaimer, my whole intentions was to take a couple of weeks off just for recovery of the surgery, but I'm bored. Want to? My recovery has been uneventful. And if you watched my breast reduction vlog, I've had previous surgeries before, including a C-section. I will go through 10 breast reductions compared to my C-section. And my C-section wasn't bad at all. But this was nothing. Literally, yeah. I've been intermittent fasting for two weeks. I'm now to 167. I started off at 175. Yes. Intermittent fasting six days out of the week. And not really watching what I'm eating, but not really going overboard. I'm probably consuming about 1200 calories a day to be quite honest. This is baby. JB's been doing good. JB, you want to tell them about you starting summer camp? Not today, baby. It was this week. It was this week. Okay, wait. Oh, yes. He's been cleaning up after himself. Yeah. So look, I don't show what the hell is going on here. I don't show my figure a lot. So this is the dress I did the before and after. So no one would ever notice that I actually have a waist. But yes, let me show you what's been going on. Look, yes, girl. Look at that waist coming together. All right. So that's better. You guys, I'm learning with this camera. Mind you, I've had this camera for almost a year. Depending on where I'm at, I need to change the settings. My glasses are dirty. I need to change the setting. So since I'm outside, I change the setting to an outside. When you go inside, you change the setting. When you go inside, when it's shadow, you change, you're supposed to change settings. And I haven't been, which is why certain clips look anyway, girl. Yeah. We're gonna go soon. But now I'm in a hot air balloon. My mom in a hot air balloon. No, no, you're too young, boo boo. You got to be a little bit older. Okay. Even then, your daddy's not to go with you. So you guys, it's Friday. It really is Friday. And that's when I start like 90% of my vlogs on a Friday. It is going to be a very busy month. I start volunteering at my church a man. I'm going to church this Sunday. I hadn't been in the last two weeks only because I've been afraid to drive that far. It's not far, but I've been trying to stay within my community and not go out more than 10 miles or so. So I went to church Sunday and then volunteering the following week. What else is going on? I signed up for a, we do a local, a local group does brunches. And so I made sure to sign up for a brunch this month. I need to get out more and more. Maybe around other people who set me up in this house with this child. JB did start summer school. And I was a little bit nervous because it's with ages five to 10 or 12. But what they do is they take the older kids and go to a separate room. And then the little bitty kids staying in the gym. And there's, there's three adults there and they limited and nine. Okay, baby. Um, and they limit the numbers to only 25 kids, which is good. Come on, baby. Come on. All right. So we got to get, um, butters eggs. Let's go to the, let's go to the donut aisle. Okay. I need to get some vanilla. What is all that noise? Um, because I don't have any. And Kroger brand is okay. So y'all Kroger is, is the fries brand back on the, in the south and part of the Midwest too, actually. This way, baby. This is the clearance section. They ain't got nothing over here. What is this? They got this over here for three weeks now. Oh no, no, that doesn't look like we're going to be able to get it. Oh, what is this? 199. Yeah, we ain't gonna get that JV. Oh, we are at in and out. Um, I'm a very picky eater to a certain point. I don't really care for the burgers here. I'll probably eat a burger here maybe twice a year. And I already had one like a couple of weeks ago. But that fries girl. Because they don't look like me. The shake machine at McDonald's doesn't. Of course. The shake machine at McDonald's is down and JV had a little, a little breakdown. So I'm like, it's okay, baby. We can go right over to, um, in and out, which is across the street and get one. The reason why I go, first of all, I don't eat McDonald's food. And let me back up. I'm not trying to be bougie or because I used to eat it growing up and I've had it of course in my adult life and college and all that. But now when I eat that stuff, you guys, I can taste a flam. It's disgusting to me. Um, but if that, you know, I don't like people who eat fast food because clearly I do. I'm in and out and I went to McDonald's, but this is why I go to McDonald's for their coffee. Now I have been on a no coffee, at least hot coffee in the morning. I replace my hot coffee in the morning. Sorry. I replaced my hot coffee in the morning with tea, but at least once a week I allow myself to have a cold coffee. That was really hard to replace my hot coffee. Let me tell you something. Oh, this is too sweet. This is a turtle macchiato. I told them not to make that this sweet. Let me mix it up some. Maybe that's what it is. Hold on, y'all. It's too sweet. This is sweet. I'm not going to drink it off. This is the new turtle macchiato. It's still too sweet. Kids be making this stuff. Oh, no, it's okay at the top. But maybe that's what it is. I need to stir it up a lot more. I'm gonna mix that up. Yeah, girl. No coffee in the morning. Oh my goodness. Going on three weeks now. I've done good. No, I mean, I've had no coffee. I haven't even like, yeah, but now since it's warmer, I've been craving like the cooler coffees and I do a lot of my stuff like I said once a week. You can have my coffee, y'all. Hey, this is glass. Be very careful. This right here is cute. But I'm gonna show y'all what I really like in a minute. I'm gonna debate on whether or not I'm gonna get it. It's got a font pan. Shoe is I'm gonna go get a cart because I see something that I like. Blood. JBB, be careful. I like that strain. This is I have enough strainers. Okay. Oh, look at this old fashioned cake. This reminds me of my grandma. I'm gonna go get a cart. Okay, because there's something I see that I want. Oh, they have village stuff. Yeah, I need to work on my village. But not for $3.99, baby. What are these? Why is it $3.99? All this Christmas stuff is out. Oh, a black Santa. I'm here for the black Santa Claus. Hold up now. Hi, y'all. So we are back from running just a bunch of useless errands, but I did pick up a couple of things from the Goodwill. I like this huge glass jar I can use this from our water. This is about I guess could fit about four cups of water. This is great. I'm gonna go ahead and watch this. And then I found these two very, very pretty fall looking were fall inspired leaf serving platters aren't these cute? I got two of them. They were a little on the price inside in my opinion. $2.99. These will be great for serving fruit, cheese, crackers. Y'all I have tons of serve for stuff. I just have to have stuff like this. In case I do decide to have someone know. Yeah, I've seen I have had people over and I'm one of these years. I'm gonna have a friends giving is that what they call them? Yeah, in my house. I want to get a bigger. I don't know what the child is when I want to get a bigger nightingroom area to six feet six people. So yeah, I think this is very, very cute. Y'all, this is not gonna be the official video because this child keeps talking. So I'm gonna take a red belt velvet butt cake and pimp it up with some sour cream, some vanilla. I'm gonna make a cream cheese frosting. I have my butter here in the mixer. Excuse me in the bowl and this is gonna be a butt cake. So I didn't realize that this came with an ice and package. I'm gonna see what this tastes like to me. These ice and packets depending on the type of ice and the only ice that doesn't taste like chemicals to me is chocolate ice and I will probably mix this with the home homie and icing that I make depending on what it tastes like. Okay, so I put one tablespoon of vanilla in here and half a cup of sour cream that sour cream will make it very moist. Now I could tell because I I've cooked a lot of cake mix just by looking at this pointed in. It is about compared to like your Duncan Hines cake mix. It's about one and a half. It's like using one and a half boxes of that cake mix. Yeah, that icing was disgusting. It tastes like jelly. So I got some cream cheese here, two tablespoons of butter. I'm gonna pour in one and a half cups of powdered sugar. Probably not even all that some vanilla, like one tablespoon. And once they get going, I'm gonna do some heavy cream. Okay, probably one. Yes, I cut into this is where we're looking at 40 minutes later. This is how moist it is. Guys, it is Saturday. I have been drinking my water. You're so silly. Um, my stomach kind of hurts. I need to do something because we're going out to eat today. We're going out and JB's going to kids park with my husband was like so he can I said no, JB's going to kids park to play with some kids can lay on my baby. It's okay. You want to get zombies again? Um, and we're gonna go to our spot because I'm like, you know, we need some some adult time. Me, I definitely do. So the solar panel, um, we had someone to come out to give us a quote on the solar panel. I was asleep, baby, because I think I did a little too much yesterday. Um, we did it ran a lot of errands, which really for me, I was left in bed. Yeah, I left you in bed. Anyway, so I have to take a set today and that knocked me out. So I took a nap and then JB, I thought you were still in bed, but I thought the pill was you but that's just a pillow. So yeah, JB and I took a nap together and while we were napping, my husband was speaking to a guy who was quoting him on the solar panel. So we're gonna get solar panels, which is a really, really good idea. My dad is not a husband. Okay. Um, which is great if you live in a place that is always sunny, like Phoenix Arizona. So, um, he explained to me what the process is and you get a credit for for tax refund. It's like a $12,000 credit and then another $1,000 credit with the state. Okay, so, um, it's it's we're gonna finance it, but it's it's not that bad. It really isn't. So, um, put your hand down, baby. So, but it's it's the cost of it is let me think of a of a car. Um, I don't know, two Corollas, as you do the math girl. So yeah, it's going to be quite a bit of money, but that money gets added to the value of that house where when you live in a house, I don't know a lot of people want to be house owner or homeowners, but you have to keep your house up in this house right now. It's gone over 10, 10 years. 10 years old over 10 years old about 11 years old. So, no, it is 135 years old. I would love to live in a 135 year old house. Those houses are anyway, he looked he looks confused. Sit down and and okay. Um, we were just talking about things that we want to do around the house and definitely we're going to have the inside painted, which is going to be like at least $4,000, especially because we have Yeah. Oh, that's two minimum 3000 between three and $4,000. I know people want to do it yourself. Uh, let me show you something. This is our seat. Have you guys ever seen this? I've done a home tour. You see my our ceilings? Yeah. Yeah. No. So we're going to do that. Um, he was saying how he thinks the carpet needs to be done. Okay. So we have carpets in the bedroom and I told him the cabinets, the cabinets have to be redone. So I'm thinking of Joe staining and I've seen YouTube videos of it, but what I'm going to do is buy the products and then just pay someone. I don't want to do that. You know, just thinking ahead you guys and I still brought up about because look for some reason my mama has been talking about. Um, she's like, oh, he's so and so asked me about you moving back to Texas girl. I said, huh, so I told my husband not to lie. I said, I don't know why, but the last conversation I've been having my mama, she's been asking me about moving back to Texas and he got quiet. So, um, he was like, you know, um, and so I told just to try to, you know, not really nag him about it because I'm not trying to nag him about it. No, no, no, no, no. He said, well, yeah. He said, and the thing that you don't realize is that, um, because there's so many schools in Dallas and so many, you know, uh, medical professions that it'll be really difficult to find someone willing to pay him as much money as he's making out. Now, my husband for a while there for about a year or two, he was a supervisor. So, he was getting those supervisor coins. Okay. And when he went flipped over and just became a regular MT, my husband's a medical technologist, but he has 10 plus years in it. So, when he became just a regular MT, he's still carried that supervisor salary. So, he's like, I don't think anyone's gonna pay me that much money. And I was like, don't, I wouldn't worry about that. So, I, the fact that he kind of, you know, that's one of his concerns. I'm like, I, that's not a concern for mine, of mine. It really ain't because our source of income, our source of income comes from the almighty, you know, not from any other job. So, I don't worry about, I wouldn't worry about that. So, yeah, Operation Move Back to Texas is, is going to be implemented in my, right now, it's in my head. It's in my head. And I'm not gonna nag my husband about it, but I, you know, I've heard me say this. My goal is to move back to Texas before this child gets into high school. If we can do middle school, even better. Middle school, high school. I want to move back. Can you get me some water? JB, you gotta start drinking water. You gotta start listening to daddy. Oh, real quick, do you see this, let me get out of the way. Do you see this purple roll up? That is a seamless backdrop. Thank you so much, T. You guys. T is one of my subscribers who will be sending me gifts. Well, I sent you a message. I don't know if you can, if you've gone through and seen the messages. My husband is like, who is his person sending you all this, these gifts. So, I sent you a message via YouTube. Go through your YouTube channel and go through your messages and you should be able to see it. So, she sent me this. Thank you so much. And a backdrop hold holder. Get around everybody else's sleep still. My husband's still asleep. JB woke up at five thirty and now he's sleeping on the couch. Um, excuse me. I've been waking up for the last two days with my bare breasts sore and it's mostly when I'm being doing quite a bit the day before. So, I literally today, I'm not doing anything. Today is Sunday. My intentions were to go to church tonight. 30 service but I'm like, I'm not even going to do that because church is a long time, you guys. When we go to church, it's like two and a half hours that we are out. We're at church for like an hour and a half. Hey, young girl, let me lay back some. So, I woke up at a minute of the night with my breasts extremely sore. I took half a perc set. I'm just going to relax today. I need to just relax for the entire week. Don't have a lot going on for this coming week. Um, yeah, I'm just going to take JB too because they even JB and I haven't done a lot because again, I don't want to be, you know, doing too much and then end up like I'm at right now, the position I'm at right now to where I'm sore and it doesn't hurt. It's just soreness. It feels like I've done a really strenuous upper body workout, like a crazy chest workout. And yeah, I need to relax. So, I'm going to be taking JB to an indoor playground in a few more days. I come Friday. Um, and then I start volunteering at my church. Now, ironically, I'm going to be volunteering doing his his class. So, the whole, uh, get up, at least for when I did the, um, volunteer meeting is that they said you go to a service and then you volunteer. That may be a bit much for me because if church is an hour and a half, that means I'm going to be at church for four hours. So, I'm okay with just going to just the volunteer. I'm okay with that. And then the next weekend, excuse me, volunteering, then the next week you go to church and then the next week volunteer. So, that's how I'm going to do it because I don't have the energy, plus JB's going to be with me. So, yeah, he can't be up there for four hours. He was going to go crazy. If he was older, okay. Um, I know a lot of people do that. They go to church, they have their service, and then if they volunteer, they say they volunteer afterwards. So, the good thing is that the volunteering time is not to the second service, which starts at 1130. So, yeah, I'm okay with that. You know, I'm not one of those type of people who feels like I have to absolutely go to church every weekend, every week, because I know where I'm at with my relationship with Jesus Christ, and I know where I'm at, okay. And I know what I need to do. A lot of people beat themselves up over that, but, girl, not me. Not me. So, yeah, today we're just going to relax. I'm in my guest bedroom, y'all. I've tried my dorms to keep this guest bedroom room together, but it ain't. I mean, I end up putting a bunch of stuff back here, but I might have JV and I are going to run up here to fries, because I need to get a couple of things that I know that I can get cheaper there instead of at Whole Foods. So, yeah, I think I may do that, y'all. Yeah, I think I may make that. It depends on my mood. I may switch it up. Oh my god, you scared me. Is that you, Puka? Come here. Go ahead and change then. He scared the hell out of me. Real quick, y'all. I did purchase some bras and I found some bras that I like. I am a 38C, which is good. I may be 36C to be quite honest, but right now I'm a 38C. While we were shopping for bras, I hear someone say, hmm, this smells good. JV, I turn around. His face is all in the bras. He is sniffing the bras. I'm gonna put a picture down here so y'all can see it. JV, I was like, what are you doing? And it was so funny. It was a woman behind me. She said they started early. I said, I guess so, girl. Sniffing bras. Look at him. Oh, sorry, y'all. I don't want to show him in his underwear. Look at it. Why are you sniffing those bras, boo-boo? Come here. Because they smell good. Because they smell good. Weeding eyes. No, it's not bleeding anymore, baby. Go look at it. It's swollen, though. So, look, y'all, real quick, last night at the rest when we went to, the rest when we go to, we go to, is a four or five star restaurant. It is really nice. We spend their minimum $80, and that's with Happy Hour specials, too. So, yeah, they're a little pricey. Yeah, it is swollen. You need to be careful. His lip is swollen. You want some ice on it? Okay, let me go help him, y'all. Come on, baby. So, anyway. Yeah, he only wants ice. My breasts kind of hurt. So, anyway, they also have this membership reward type theme that if you eat there every, yes, Shabee, every $50 that you spend, you get $5 back. I'm also a short girl. I gave her the card, and I was like, we need to figure out what's going on because we've been coming up here, and I don't see anything. She told me, I went to the bathroom when I came back. My husband told me, he's like, you know how much money we had on there that we could use? I said, how much? He said $75. I said, what? So, she brought the bill over, which was $80-something. $12 was how much we paid. He gave her like a $20 tip. I'm like, yeah, this half of it didn't deserve a $20 tip. But, yeah, $30 for $85 bill. Guys, look. Shout out. I don't want to see that. So, praise him. Guys, I'm watching baby TV. Shout out to Kelona Curls. Y'all, Kelona Curls is Tiara Van. She's a producer for NPR. I met her because a couple of years ago, she ran a story on... No, she did. Yes, she did. She ran a story on naturals in the valley, and that's how I met her. And then, coming to find out, she had a YouTube actually, she was transitioning then. She didn't, you know, she hadn't fully gone natural. She was thinking about it. It starts slowly. Good. Now, go put it up then. But, look, while we're in the car, and my husband, that's all he listened to was NPR. That should let you know how old he is. So, I said, oh, this is Tiara. And he's like, oh, the mixed girl. I said, she is not mixed. She's mixed with black and black. He's like, uh, she needs to get a DNA test. And I'm looking at him. I'm like, wait a minute. This is someone who has had an Indian follow him around. Now, let's sing. Now, it's leaky. Go put it up, baby. My husband a couple of years ago had an Indian, an Indian from India, follow him around in the grocery store to ask him what tribe or what port of India he's from. Hey, I say, you don't even look black. You look Arabic. You look Indian. You look like you're from Pakistani. You're going to question my friend whether or not she's black? Get out of here with that. All right, y'all. So, I ended up doing salmon. Salmon is easy, quick, healthier than the so-hey. I made a marinade sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, a bunch of ginger. So, this is basically a ginger soy sauce. A bunch of ginger. Brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, chili paste. Oh, y'all, this hair, I have so much buildup. It's not even funny. But it is what it is. Wash day is tomorrow. Quiet as it kept. I don't feel like recording at all any videos. And I'm trying to think if I have enough content scheduled. I think I do. So, I'm not in a mood. I'll do the videos next week. You know, record two of the videos next week. Because this week, I don't feel like doing it. I just want to wash my hair and just relax. Okay, so let me show y'all when I'm cooking here. Because it's going to be good, girl. So, I have some peas here with some heavy cream I've went ahead and put in there just because I'm lazy. I have some orzo pasta on the stove. I'm going to be making a creamy orzo pasta with Parmesan. This child is screaming my name. Hold on, y'all. Mama this. Mama, mama. Mama, mama. Child. So, I'm going to sit down and watch some Westworld or something. So, yeah, these peas are in some creams that I just poured out just to get rid of it. And I'm going to have some orzo pasta on the stove over here. Let me show you. Orzo pasta on the stove over here. And once this is done, which ain't going to take no time at all. Let me turn it down some, actually. This is going to be a very quick dish done in like 15 minutes. I'm going to find my Parmesan cheese. Normally you would do like a lace topping, but we ain't got time for all that. Let me kind of make that one go across like that. Do one more like this. Here is my dessert I've been making. Girl, I just took it out the oven, which is why it's still bubbling. Yes, peach cobbler in a cast iron skillet. This is basically a combination of Curlin, Philly Boy, and Chris Cook for you. I took all three of their recipes and came up with this, putting it in the cast iron skillet. I will have a separate video on this particular recipe, y'all. It is going to be good. I can tell. I can tell just by looking at it, it's going to be good. So, yeah. This is my salmon that has been marinating for a while. That's going to take no time to cook. This is my orzo creamy pasta. This is my roasted potatoes to greens. And once every light is after shower, they just got my husband and JB to explain them. So, once they work after shower, we're going to eat. No, that's enough milk there, JB. More than enough milk.
