 Well, howdy friends. I know I have been MIA for such a long time on my channel, but I am back. Today is a really fun event and I am going to the Minnesota Planner Addicts. It's, I believe the title is called Plan Your Heart Out Minnesota. And it is 7.25 in the morning and it's going to take me an hour to get there. And registration starts at 8.30. My hair is still wet. I just got out of the shower and my back seat is full of gifts and planner supplies for today's event. Just to address really quick where I've been, if you guys follow me on social media, you would have seen updates here and there. My grandmother had been very ill and she is better now, not 100% recovered, but better now. And I had been spending basically all of my time caring for her and updating my mom about what's going on. If you guys don't know, my parents, they do live in Minnesota for a part of the year, not in the winter time. So they spend the summers here and then they winter in Florida, which is where their main residence is. So anyways, I've been acting kind of like a liaison and then I've also been quite ill as well. So after I got sick, I haven't been allowed by my doctors to go and care for her because I still have a really nagging cough and they just don't want me around someone that has compromised health, if you know what I mean. So anyways, enough about that. I'm gonna vlog today and I'm really excited because there should be about, I think they said about 33 attendees and I'm gonna vlog as much as I can. I'll vlog whatever I'm doing. I am only part of the Minnesota Planner Addicts. I will put a Facebook link below if you guys would like to join if you're in the area. We do planner events twice a year and then we also do planner meetups. I believe every single month. So the meetups are free. The events are paid for events. So this is one of the paid for events today and I'm just really excited. So we are going to the Holiday Inn in Bloomington and like I said, it's gonna take me about an hour. So I should get going and I will see you guys in just a second. So here is my table and I am at the You Rock table. Oh my gosh. Stop moving. That freaking balloon. Cute, right? Now I get to pass out all of these things. Okay, so this was what was in the bags. I have one of these little Erin Condren sticker sheets. Some May Designs notebooks. I got those from Target. Oh, I don't know what the other side looks like. Hold on, it looks like they both look like that. You know, unicorn erasers because it's definitely a staple in everyone's life, right? Got sweet tarts. These adhesive pocket labels from Target. These are amazing. And then a little sticker book. Bunch of different things. And then the little pouch. So that is what was in there. I'm eating a really healthy breakfast. But I do have water, so there's that. Well, hello. So I am home. I just got done walking Doyle. I took my makeup off and it is basically time for bed. But I'm going to stay up for a little while because I just want Doyle to have enough time to eat and drink out of the little thing over there. So anyways, I am home, but I am super tired. And the lighting is really, really horrible. And yes, my tree is still up. And it's the middle of February. But I'm going to take it down tomorrow. I promise, I'm actually going to do that. So I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to vlog all weekend. So I'm going to vlog tomorrow. Actually, I have something fun happening tomorrow. My brother is coming and the dog right now is, I don't know, trying to find something. Doyle, get out of there. Oh, leave it alone. Anyways, but I have a bunch of bags of swag and like things I purchased and fun things that happened that I really want to talk about. I'm like, so not in the mood. Oh, hey, by the way, I won a little contest and I won this necklace. It's really hard to see. But on one of them it says Minnesota. And then the other one is like the Minnesota coordinates. But I'm going to show you guys what I won or this is what I won. And then I won like a little notepad as well. And this didn't really have a brand. It was just like a cute little gold necklace. So I was excited. So I put it on and left the little card at the event in the trash. But there was no like specific brand. So I don't know like where to link it or anything. But anyway, I want to show you the project I did, but it's in all of those bags of stuff. So I'm going to show you guys that tomorrow. But I am just going to like veg out and relax. I need to take another Advil. If you guys don't know, if you follow me on social media, you'll know. But I was quite ill the last couple of weeks and I've just had this like nagging cough. And because I cough so much, like just talking about it is making me cough. It's just like this nagging cough. It won't go away. Like I get headaches because of it. So I have to take like four Ibuprofen's a day, like two in the morning and two in the evening. And like I've had a little bit of a headache for quite a while now. So I need to take a couple of Ibuprofen's for bed and then go to bed, you know? So anyways, Doyle and I are going to say goodbye for now. So bye for now. But I will see you tomorrow. And hopefully I can show you my brother a little bit if he's down for that. I don't know. He's coming over to watch the NASCAR race. And we're going to have some pizza and hang out and catch up. And he's going to watch me take that tree down. That's what's going to happen tomorrow. So I hope you all are having a good day and I will see you in just a moment. Well hello. It is Sunday and I have a special guest. Who's that guy? That's my favorite brother. He is in town and is actually going to stay the night. So very exciting. The tree is still up. Yeah. Not for long. Not for long. I'm going to get to it. I'm going to get to it. But he brought pizza over. We had some pizza and speaking of pizza, I want to show you guys this pizza blanket I got. Brother is like showing it off. One of our committee members named Libby made this. It is so incredibly soft. Like it feels, I don't know, like it's not like a baby blanket material, but it's like, I don't know, it's amazing. By the way, she makes these and I'm going to show you her info because she said I could. There we go. So if you're interested in something like this, feel free to give her a shout on the Instagram or the email or the phone, I guess. So but she makes them and she does ship them. So yes, pretty amazing because you know pizza is life, right guys? Just posted on Instagram my mess over here. So I'm going to flip you around and I'll show you what I'm talking about. This is the collection of all the swag that I either got as a prize or gift or just that was donated to the Minnesota planner addicts. So I just took a couple photos and posted them on Instagram and very thankful to all the shops and everyone that sponsored and donated. I'm very, very excited to use a whole bunch of this in my planner very, very soon. And this is the necklace I was wearing yesterday. I don't know if you guys could see it. I haven't downloaded my footage or anything yet. My brother and I are currently working on eating some of those sweet heart tart things. But I also wanted to show you what I got at Marshall's because I know you guys are probably interested. So I got two of these pillows for spring. And yes, I do realize there is a color in there. So kind of fun. And then I got some of these sistema, I think is how you say it. I got a couple, two of this size and then one larger. And then I found these at Michael's and I thought this would be perfect for, you know, holiday, birthday, whatever time. And then over here, I got some stuff at Michael's. I figured I'd show you my little holly haul thing. So first thing I picked up was this tube of washi. It's kind of like a school theme. I don't know what's not focusing. There it is. And this is the brand Craft Smart. So again, you guys know that I do my washi like this. So I will be making samples for myself. And then also in the same brand is this one. And it's kind of like a wedding marriage one. We're just going on with my focus. It's like not wanting to focus. There we go. Tada. So I thought this was really cute. And then I got this. This is the yeah, the recollections brand. And they're just kind of like some brown washes. Seriously, focus. There it goes. But yeah, I thought these were really, really cute, different, unique. And then I got some sticker sheets. That's the recollections. It's like poop emojis, which that was fun. These are some really tiny stickers from Craft Smart. And they're all like food related. And then these ones all have food on the top. And then it's got like little like kawai tacos on them. And then these are all of these like cute little llama things. So I thought that was kind of cute. And oh, I was going to show you guys how I won my little thingamajig yesterday. And this is what I did to my little book. So yesterday there was a challenge to do like a bucket list or journaling or something like that. So I actually won my category. And I'll kind of explain it to you. So this is like my Minnesota State Fair bucket list. I was actually getting lots of tips from my table mates. And we start here with this little sticker, which has all the money. So you have to go to the state fair with all the money. Then we're going to go and get a pickle on a stick. Then we go to sweet Martha's, which has cookies, which is what that sticker is. And then you go get some poutine. And then at cheese on a stick, there's actually fresh squeeze lemonade at the same stand. So I put those stickers on there. Then we go to the pretzel factory. And then we go to Turkey to go. If you guys follow one of the admins, her name is Jodi on Instagram. She actually has a cat and she heard the cat's name is actually Churchill, but she calls her cat Turkey. So she gave me a turkey sticker, a turkey time sticker. That's a cat. So that's thought that was kind of funny. Anyway, shaved ice. Then we go to the sugar shack and then the gas station grill to get a burger and the pizza wagon. And then by the time we go home, we have a headache and then we're going to take a nap. So that is my winner. Also, I did put something in my planner for the first time ever. So I want to show you guys that now. So my planner has absolutely nothing in it until yesterday. So one of my table mates actually gave me this sticker, which I thought was very, very fitting. And then we had a little pizza party and then that was kind of the rest of the day. Today I have done the laundry or I'm still kind of doing the laundry. We had Broadway pizza. The Daytona 500 is on, but it's on mute. And then I'm going to take my tree down and just a little bit. And then my brother is staying the night. So yeah, I haven't done anything for next week, but it's all about a start guys. It's all about a start. So anyway, then it's going to close out the vlog for today. Just wanted to show you guys some stuff in like normal lighting because it was just incredibly dark out last night when I got home. So I am going to jet. Thank you guys so much for watching and I will be back fairly soon with some more things. And let's see if Billy and Doyle want to say goodbye. Maybe they do. Isn't that cute? Bye. Doyle's like, whatever, give me more pets. All right, I'll see you guys later. Bye.
