I will show you all the fullery what I tell you I have gotten out of control with this planning stuff Honey Y'all it is ridiculous. I have Two containers full of planning so mind you I've only started this stuff. It hasn't even been half a year It hasn't even been six months cake. I made I Did a version of the brown sugar brown sugar pound cake cooking with Carolyn and divas can cook has this I've made this from scratch before but what I did is I use a cake mix for this time I y'all could half of it for for my neighbors And this is a little bit different my ice and then come out how I liked it, which is why it's so runny, but that's okay Um, I did wanted to have boxes of pound of excuse me of regular cake mix and I pimped it up girl And this is tall fee. Yeah, I probably call my other neighbors and give them a couple slices Y'all when I make cakes like this, I don't eat at all. We don't keep this stuff because it's just two of us JB now eats cake. Thank God But we can't eat all of this so and I'll just eat enough for two days basically two slices and I'll give some to my neighbors and that's it. Yeah, I'm gonna be cooking later on I have some bone broth over here brewing away. Ciao Girl, yeah, I'm a planner. I don't like last-minute. I don't like anything last-minute It messes with me. It messes with my anxiety My husband gets a text message those you don't know my husband has an older son. He's 18 years old So he gets a text message from the mother today state and just very not very much in law which Over the years the relationship between all of them has been very rocky. I'm not gonna get into that for my husband's privacy And just out of respect for him But it has not been on the best of terms and just out of the blue. She sends information on the child's graduation He's graduating from high school in May And I'm just like why didn't she let you know this ahead of time I mean that way you could have planned it. So as you know it, okay, it's two months. We're in April It's next month, but we're out of state, you know, well, he's out of state my husband is so We had planned on going to Sedona doing the date so It's May 30th, and that's the date of our trip to Sedona and y'all we had to we counseled the last time because instead We stayed here because it was snowing. We stayed in town doing JB's birthday. So I was like, I'm gonna be the bigger person So I took my husband. I say, you know what? His graduation is a priority over our family vacation We'll have plenty of family vacations, but there will only be one time when your child graduates from high school So you can go up there. That's fine. Will JB not stay here. So he thought about it and later on the day He said do y'all want to just you want to just have a family trip in Texas. I'm like next month Yeah, I'm like, okay, let me crunch some numbers because look I Normally I budget and I do things five or six months at the time. It's gonna be tight But we can do it. We can do it. So looks like we're going to Texas next month now The thing that makes me kind of sad is that we won't be able to go see my family. There's just no way We're there for a specific reason and we're not there for a long time We're only there for four days if you take into account two days that you're traveling I went ahead and text my best friend now and she my best friend even lives outside of Dallas I checked my best friend. I text my mom because I'm gonna be open with them. I'm let them know We are there. We're gonna be there next month, but we cannot come to you. So if you can come to us before we leave good It's dark girl It's Friday. It's Friday, and I'm ready to swing. Let me do this y'all. Is that better? I am in the parking lot of the Dollar Tree because I'm gonna go ahead and start Getting stuff gathering stuff for our trip So I just picked up an extra deodorant mini toothpaste, you know that little stuff We went ahead and purchased our tickets Why purchase our tickets? and my husband sorry y'all He booked the hotels last night, but um Yeah, I really am learning how to use my credit cards. I purchased or I applied for a Advantage Mastercard last year's and I used that Sorry y'all. I use that to purchase our tickets last year when went to Texas for my high school reunion Well, I got points from that. I got like 45,000 flight reward points or whatever You don't have to use them for flights. You can use them for any type of anything you want So I use I had been holding those grottin even do anything with it because it's only been a year So I went ahead and I use Like 30,000 of those points to get one-way tickets to go to Dallas and Then I just paid out of pocket the one ways to come back just five hundred dollars. That is it Child so real quick one of the things that I ordered. I Was trying to look through my closet to see if I have something that's You know for graduation you want to dress up a little bit snow actually contacted me Yesterday and I called her y'all. She was she was yelling at me and complimented me in the same breath Vietnamese women Asian women in general y'all That's how they are especially Vietnamese.

I just know I just know I won't have time basically to have her to do it. So I purchased. I'm sure y'all what it looks like I went ahead on ASOS this morning and purchased a bad banging dress It was only $35 3535 girl. I like ASOS. I have purchased. I call them pieces I've purchased some stuff there before and the reason why I like them they have a curved section and That's why I got my my high school reunion dress from I Like them because a lot of the stuff you get off of there You don't see people wearing one and two when you look at the clothes. There's a section where You can see the model walk so you can actually see the dressing movement. This is the dress y'all It's not bad, but let me show you what it looks like in movement. I showed it to my husband I said, do you think this is a little too much? He's like, no, that's not too much He was looking at the model. He said no, that's not too much y'all y'all my husband. It's a chubby chaser. Hold on y'all Can y'all see it? Look at it. Isn't it pretty? Is it zoom in? Hold on y'all, isn't that cute money to call the owner.

I'll just show you my favorite spreads This is an example of a weekly spread some of these stickers I got from Etsy The one where she's cleaning I got that from Etsy. This was from st. Patrick's Day Week, this is this week Okay, and the reason I like to do this like I said, it allows me to be productive But I've noticed that first of all it takes me about an hour to decorate these two pages Yeah, I bought an hour to deck. I should say to decorate and start scheduling stuff About an hour. It is very relaxing for me. I am a creative person And yeah, I've enjoyed it. I've really been enjoying it. Yeah, so let me show you real quick What I purchased and I will try to have everything that I'm talking about in the description box I completely forgot that I had ordered some stickers off Etsy until I got a notification that says your order was shipped I'm not going to order. What are you talking about girl? So I ordered these And the shop is called sticker stairs S-t-e-r-s Aren't these cute y'all? very very cute Very cute But what I've been enjoying lately are stickers from Hobby Lobby Bobby paper studio They had a crazy deal meaning like at one point It was 50% off and then it was 20% off and then I had a 40% off coupon for one item So I purchased their set of washi There we go. Okay Then I went crazy. Yeah Post-it notes and I'm gonna go through these fairly quickly you guys aren't these cute All this stuff you guys cost like between two and three dollars like seriously This is thinking cute courts of envelopes like I'm not even sure if I want to use these aren't these cute Look at that. Isn't that cute? And let me just show you an example Adorable, isn't that cute y'all? I like that again studio 52 Boss babe fold sticker. I'm not sure if this is my favorite one. Is this my favorite one? I'm not sure yet What I like about this is that they are representing all types of skin tone Okay, we have her Same type of stickers, right? We have I guess you could she could be Asian. I'm not sure Asian American or Latino I Absolutely love it. This right here again. It's the boss babe and there's just different types of Stickers and I know y'all can't see all of that and I know I'm going through this fairly fast This one is my favorite. It is the LOL seasonal and you get a set of stickers for every season So this is this was February. I got mine's in March This is Christmas Now let's skip a little bit in between the Dollar Tree. Don't sleep on the Dollar Tree. I found these jumbo Paperclubs girl, I don't even know what I'm gonna use these for but very cute I ordered these I've been waiting on them erasable gel pens from Amazon and these are made by pilot. Yeah My spending has has kind of slowed down. I haven't bought anything crazy My last order was from Amazon and that's it. I'll probably order a few other things for our upcoming trip But and that's it y'all because I need to get my credit Cards I'm just together, but when my Amazon order came in my husband was leaving off the door Look, typically I had my stuff. I had my box because I read him judging me So the UPS fan was walking towards the door and my husband was walking out to go to work I was like, who ordered all this stuff? He didn't say a dangle thing child. He ignored my ass so fast. Anyway, let's just jump right into these Now this is the first time that I've opened up some of these. This one is um floral faith and inspiration sticker pack Again by the paper studio. Oh my god, this is so gaudy. I don't know. I do not like this This was like some type of Yeah, I don't like this at all. I'll use it, but I'm not I'm not sure if I like it.

The next one is 100% girl so stinking cute See that And you guys I only decorate my weekly layout and if I don't decorate it the world is not gonna end I keep it pushing, you know what I mean, but lately I have been the next one is petals and blooms You guys I am very very My stylist all of the place but I tend to like very feminine stuff if you can't tell by now Which is why when I build up my she room, it's going to be Shabby chic is that there we go. See that adorable. All right, we have family is forever sticker pack. I love it. I Love this vintage bicycle camera theme going on with this one in particular last one is Okay, I said the wrong thing so agenda 52 floral daily task Absolutely love this. I know take a shot every time I say I love it Yeah Like floral theme to it. So yeah, you guys that is it I don't keep saying this but hopefully the next time I come on cam. Y'all will see my completed bathroom The man never showed up today The plumber The project manager said that oh, I'm gonna have the planner the plumber to come today Never showed up then he text my husband before he went to work Excuse me and said we're gonna try for him to come Sunday Then my husband's like well, he also said he can come Monday I said what I'm going into the office Monday, and then we got him to it over there He's like well, is this plant as it doesn't matter if it is planted not why didn't say that but I say yes, it is But it is plain when I plan I plan to go into the office I just don't suddenly just go cuz I didn't my hair girl. You do see this so Yeah, I know I'm crazy. So what's my point? I told him I may try I will try to Leave work, but I'm having lunch with Nick y'all Nick is leaving those you don't Nick is my good Judy I speak to Nick more Besides my best friend. He's a second person. I talked to the most we talk on a weekly basis And it is just you know texting or whatever messaging but I Won't say out of the people here in Phoenix. I talked to him the most I don't think that's gonna change much, but he got a job in Pittsburgh So we're gonna have lunch on Monday with him and then my other friend miss Yolanda Hold on y'all. That's what I said. Oh, they need black people in Pittsburgh. Yeah, he's white, but I'm like Sometimes I'd be forgetting he's white. He's like child. There is and there's a lot of um there's a lot of black people in in Pittsburgh y'all I'm sorry, but yeah, I'm gonna miss him I am I told him he's like, well, I'll come and visit. I'm like, okay So if y'all don't know by now, he's he's part of the family girl He on the other place for the other team. So that's why you know I don't want people thinking you've got a male friend that close you talk to yes Because he ain't trying to push up on me like that. Yeah, like I said, hopefully the next time I come on I can reveal My bathroom y'all I'm trying not to be disappointed about it, but it is what it is This is definitely a learning experience and I did go to my husband and be like I wish you would have listened to me. I Hate I hated to I I didn't do I and I told you so a moment We had a discussion before we agreed to do the Renovations to where I said I think the priority is to get some new furniture a new dining room table and we paint We can do the bathrooms Next year. He's like, no We went back with I don't argue. I don't have to argue. So by the second or third time. I'm sick. Okay. I support you Now look what happened. We could have had a nice couch a nice dining room table for half the car one other thing Hmm the custom glass $1,600 There's expensive not listening to Vivian, huh? Yeah, I'm a mess. All right. Yeah, you have to excuse me. I just got finished recording of a video for you have first If you have a house rethink of innovations or rethink who you go through For renovations there has been so much foolery y'all that has transpired this week I'm gonna give you the damn clip notes version We have our tub finally it's in Francis Francis Francisco where Francisco was here from I've been so frustrated out. I've been about to cry. I mean, I need to refill my zenex because that's how That's how nerve-racking. This is how I've been and my husband told me to stop worrying about it You know, there's not much we could do at this point So we had the plumber's come in and install the actual tub What was that there are three days to go? He was here from 10 a.m. To 8 p.m. And mine you half of that time. We could not have water. I didn't have one I did not have running water from 1 p.m. Sorry. I didn't have running water from 12 to 8 p.m. Which means that we couldn't flush the toilets We couldn't wash anything couldn't wash our hands and went to bathroom I had anti-bacterial we use them we use in bottled water and I understand But it just makes it very inconvenient when you're here that long and we don't have any running water I finally around 6 p.m. I was like how much longer it's gonna take you JB was like mommy. I'm tired So at least the tub got in right the following day Someone randomly came over at 11 o'clock. We didn't even get a heads up that this guy was coming over the towel guy came over He came over he said I'm here to do the towel. I'm like cool come in comes in He looks at the bathroom and he's perplexed He looks confused and he's like it's not done. I'm like, what do you mean? He's like well the shower supposed to be installed Typically before I get here and there's supposed to be prep done and you don't have any grout I'm like, are you serious? So he called the boss and then my husband called the owner and The owner was like, oh, I thought that this was all done before the time. No So that has happened today was The it day we had not heard from anyone in two days So my husband's in a text message and I'm already to you guys This is why it is so important in my opinion when you're dealing with stuff like this to call someone instead of sending a text message But my husband is very he's an introvert so whatever So he sends a text message to the project manager Jerry who I told y'all about last vlog and the owner And he's basically like you guys it's been a couple of days now And no one has showed up to continue the bath and shower installation process Understand you guys are busy, but this is taking way too long These are some things that still haven't been done and he goes through a laundry list If nothing, please communicate with us and let us know where things stand at this point So we don't know what's going on basically Child Jerry showed his ass. I'm in my office working right in my husband customer He's like my husband curses you guys. He doesn't curse in front of people, you know He he's respectful, but at home and not in front of Jamie, of course We need the one of us really important of our child, but he goes off I read the text message from Jerry Jerry writes back at this point I guess they've gone back and forth a couple of times. I don't why do you even doing this? Y'all both grown so Jerry rollback child was like, don't you tell me what I should be doing? Don't you tell me what I should be doing My husband wrote back dude. I'm not trying to tell you what you what you do He's like, where's your professionalism? I'm a client. There's a proper way to talk to me You know, I'm not telling you what you should do with just saying what's next He's like, you know what? You're very childish. Don't talk to me at this point Jerry wrote back and said, don't you ever text machine text message me again my husband and my husband is Heated at this point. I'm trying to calm him down. Calm him down. Calm him down. I called the owner and was like, um Hold on y'all. Um, did you notice the Text message going between my husband and Jerry and I told him what happened my husband spoke to the owner Especially like I want this guy off of this project. I don't want him in our house I don't want and I'm trying to tell my husband Please do not piss these people off because I'm gonna be here by myself if this guy has to come here again I'm gonna be about here by myself and I don't I don't feel comfortable that you have pissed him off to the point To where he doesn't even want to talk to you. I don't want that type of energy in my house So y'all won't be seeing a finished bathroom at this point child You'll probably see my date night outfit and my hair, you know to the guys, but I tried to tell them child Let's just go ahead and buy a new couch and in dining room All right y'all show y'all my date night outfit you have to excuse this girl. They're just these are the shoes. I'm wearing Have a flower like can y'all see that a flower like oh god Background it's not great.
