Welcome to the I'm Still Fun podcast. I'm Fallin, I am Jenny,
and we always do every day or every Monday. So for last week when
it's a holiday, we come in and we chat for thirty minutes, catch
up on our lives, yes, and then we're like, oh, should
we start recording. We did see each other quite a bit in the last
week, also on top of just doing the podcast, but there's most weeks
we don't really see each other outside of doing the podcast together. No,
and I really liked, like, had a lot of fun with the things
we did. So Thursday we went over when I got off work, I
met you at Mall of America at Lululemon store. There they have a lot
of classes, like workout classes and stuff. And I typically probably wouldn't go
maybe to the Mall of America on like a week night for a workout thing,
but this one like intrigued me. It was like a meditation soundbath kind
of thing, and I was like, oh, that could be nice.
And then after I realized it was a girl's only event. Because Jenny called
me out on the podcast last week, I did ask Jenny because I had
asked Harry, and then I was like, oh, it is just girl.
Sorry, And so Jenny was kind enough to come. And that was
your first experience with a sound bath, right, it was the first one.
Yes, how did you feel about it? It was? It was
good. I will say though, because you and I have had this discussion
before, my ears are so sensitive that there were moments where it got too
loud and it was hurting my ears and not giving me the comfort that sounds
like that would normally give. Yeah, so I liked it. I just
was like a little surprised at how loud it was. So I thought it
was supposed to be like something super relaxing. But my friend Raven, who
is into all of it, and I say, wou woo, not in
a mean way if you're into it, but like the wou woo kind of
stuff like that. She was like, it's not supposed to be relaxing.
It's supposed to be something else. And I was like, oh, I
didn't know that. I thought was like one of those things were supposed to
like drift you off to sleep. She's like no, and she explained it,
and I was like, oh, because that was my second time,
and this time was much better for me. So the first time I did
one, it was the full hour was a sound bath, and it was
in assault Cave and it was in this place where like it blows out salts,
so it'd be like blowing out freaking salt and I like that. And
I was laying there because you were laying with like a little blanket on this
place I went to and I the tones were killing me, and I went
into a a headache. Big mistake, because I don't get a ton of
headaches. Yeah, But everyone was like asleep, and like two people next
to me were snoring. Harry was one of them. And I was like,
why are you mf so relaxing? I can fall asleep anywhere. And
it was I was sitting there doing the thing like how much longer, how
much longer? How much longer time? Yes? And I was like getting
And then at the end, you know, like how did you like it?
I'm like, oh, it was so good. And I was like
cuving out of here. So this one was only like a like maybe fifteen
minutes of it was the sound bath, because she did like a guided meditation,
a little stretchy sound bath, and then I was like, have a
snack and a drink and then come back in and they talked about like kind
of nutrition nutrition stuff. There was one point where so we had these pillows
and we were supposed to us use home like under the arch of our back
and all this stuff. I had mine completely mispositioned. And she comes up
to me and she heard. She's like, is that comfortable? And absolutely
not? I like getting an AD work out in right now. She goes,
oh, no, we're not doing that today, and she like moved
it down. But I like I remember, like out of the corner of
my eyes seeing found them like so easily with her legs up in the air,
and I felt like I was doing the hardest adwork out of my life.
And I was like, oh, is she so steady right now?
I was like, yeah, founce core must be fucking so tight from plates
and stuff. But yeah. Then she was like, yeah, no,
you need to move that way down, and I was like, oh,
this is much better. Yeah. But I think it's good to know,
like cause you get curious about things like sound baths hearing about them. So
I would say, just don't go into it with a headache and just know
that it can't the tones can be a little well, it's like a it's
such a vibration sound. So yeah, I just think that if you have
sensitive ears at all, yeah, like it might not be the most joyful.
But apparently to Raven, it's not supposed to like put you to sleep,
and so it supposed to be the other thing she did, like the
little rain sticks or whatever she's doing. If that stuff was nice, I
like, I like that. And I opened my eyes during that part because
I had to see what she was doing, because like, because it would
start on like the left side of my head, and I like and all
of a sudden, it was like in front of me, and then it
was the side and I was like, I got to open and see what's
going on. I couldn't because I was like, I'm going to open my
eyes and she's going to be in front of my mat We're gonna lock eyes,
and I'm going to freak out. So I did not open my eyes
the whole time. And then Saturday we met and played pickleball. We did,
and you and both Jenny and I had only done like one pickleball sash.
Ever, mine was an intro and it wasn't a real game. It
was kind of like learning the rules and you did a real game, but
it was like your first time learning the rules with friends. Yeah, so
this was like, I think, really the first time you and I had
legit played. Yes, it was, and it it was so much fun,
except for I was just like profusely sweating. And I feel like,
you guys because we were the two of us and then our old co worker
Adie and then Ted food works on our promotions to government, and I felt
like you guys were like not sweating at all, to the point where I
got out my sweat towel and was wiping sweat off myself and I was like,
why are you guys not sweating more? I was definitely sweating, but
I feel like I definitely started sweating more. Once I left. I was
wearing like the kind of bright blue pants that show sweat so easily, and
I was I went straight from pickleball to the zoo and I was like,
I cannot wear these because I don't want people to see like my ass sweat.
So then I was like took off my undies and pants in the zoo
parking lot and then I was like, I'm gonna get arrested. Someone's gonna
walk up and be like, what this woman's naked in her car this zoo
and I was getting all panicked and I was quickly putting on my underwear over
my sweaty body as quick as I could. And I was like, this
is so bizarre. But I really liked pickleball. I would totally do it
again. Yeah, I'm not surprised that you were like, naturally pretty good,
because you're just like a kind of athletic person. Yeah, but I
thought we both did pretty good. I feel like I think we did pretty
good for the fact that it was like our first yeah fish game for Suke.
I don't know the other two we were playing with, they play all
the time. Yeah, So I think Ted was probably a little annoyed being
my partner because you guys ended up coming back and willing again. No thanks
to me necessarily. But I also, like I told Jake, he was
like, I want to come, and I was like, no, it's
like you're going to be so naturally just good at it and it's going to
piss me off so much. He's like, Okay, it can be your
thing. I was like, no, that's ridiculous that you would way together
like you me and Jake Andrew. Yeah, I was trying to think of
who your boyfriend her boyfriend for a second, but then also like Ted and
Audie are super fun to play with you, but I'm very into it.
I'm trying to find I'm in one of those like workout ruts where like I
fucking can't bring myself to go to the gym half of the time. OK.
Yeah, So I was so happy to get out and like do that
instead of feeling like I needed to get up and go to the gym Saturday
morning before I felt like my day could get started, and I burned hella
calories yeah around and I told the Andrew that we need to start living like
we live in the city, like New York or something, because I made
us also a bike to the LCD Brewing block party that day, and I
was like, see how nice that was, Like why do we don't need
cars for so many things, especially with Minnesota and how it's such shitty weather.
I was like, we need a bike two more things, and so
that was super fun. And then I felt so good at the end of
the day and burned like twice as much calories practically throughout the entire day that
I normally do. And I did things I enjoyed, you know, and
so I was happy. Yeah, I was happy to get out and do
activities that were fun versus like going to the gym and being like, oh
another two. I had canceled pilateus because I was going to do pickleball with
you guys, and I was going to have time to do both and go
to the zoo. And then I was like, then they were almost going
to cancel because it rained. And then I was bummed because I already canceled
pilates. I can't get in now, and I wasn't going to come.
I was like, you know what, f at, I'm going to go,
and I'm so happy I did, so I would definitely do that again.
I also had a finger in my ass this week and I thought that,
yeah, your husband, that's what Colt was like, Wow, Jake's
busy. I'm like, no, it's a woman. Yeah. Our name
was uh was this summer or autumn? Did you even get her name?
Well? I did at first, yeah, cal in a rectal clinic.
But this I don't remember them checking my inwards before. And this is the
weirdness part. She like, first of all, bought in an audience.
She's like i gotta go grab an assistant. Two people came in. I'm
like, don't feel like this is a three person job. Yeah, they
usually have to ask for permission for well, I take care if someone came
in, but then it was like two people. I'm like, what did
she think she wouldn't be able to lift the cheek with just one person to
get in there? No, but then she you know, I this is
what I talked to Jake about because that's a no go hole for me.
And I'm like, it's I know, it's a different setting. I'm not
turned on, but I'm also like, it felt like so much pressure when
just one finger goes in. I was like, I don't I just I
don't know. I was very stressed out about it. And then she made
me do a clench yep, like grip my finger okay, and then like
push, like you're trying to go to the bathroom, and I'm like,
lady, you are playing with fire. You have gotta be careful asking me
to do these things. Everything's feeling like good that morning, like you weren't
like gassy or yeah, I was fine, okay, because I mean I've
gone into laser hair removal appointments super gassy and so scary, like yeah,
on my well, you clench a lot in those because you're like kind of
like bracing. And yeah, the pain, I a would say laser hair
moval. We've talked about before. It's not like it's long term pain,
but like the little zap doesn't feel good. Yeah, it's not fun at
all. Yeah, but the Yeah, but I'm fine. She says,
this one should go away on its own. So I'm happy I don't have
to ever removed good because I know I think it was last week you're tell
about how you were like, oh, if I have to get it removed,
then it might affect this wedding nave coming up and your band the trip
and stuff. The other thing I've been like overly looking at and I think
I mention this maybe, But our trip is next week in Banff and there's
still like ice and snow. So I've been going and I think you know
this, but I didn't learn this until like last year before our trip to
Switzerland. I was, uh, you type in the city in the search
bar on Instagram, okay, and you can look at people's stories that are
there. Oh okay. I don't think I've ever done that? Oh on
Instagram? On Instagram, Yeah, actually I think I have done that.
Sure if you don't know that hack, I love that because obviously I'm like,
I don't know what Switzerland. I want to make like, is it
nice weather right now? What's going on? You can look at the forecast,
but seeing someone else's stories is so helpful, and especially like when you're
going visiting a place you've never been. I just like loved it so much,
and so I was like, I'm gonna look at the lakes, like
the Moraine Lake and Lake Louise because those are the most popular ones, just
to see if they're thought. And it's looks like Louise is completely Morain looks
guys a little bit of ice still. But I was like that made me
feel so much better because we're going at the beginning of the season, even
though it's June, and I was like very stressed out about it, but
I like, it's going to be fine in every person today. I started
looking at the hike we're doing, the Little Beehive, and all the people
are just in like long sleeve like light shirts and leggings, so they're not
like in Parkas and you know, craziness. So I was like, Okay,
all that just makes me feel so much better about what to pack and
everything. So I would suggest that you just literally type into the search bar
and it'll pull up a map and it'll have like a little color, you
know, pink ring around as you know that there are fresh stories and you
click on those, and it's like all kinds of people whoever have tagged the
location basically got it. Okay. I was going to say, also,
just if you're looking at like trail stuff, obviously, on all trails,
like the first photo you look at is going to be like the most beautiful
photo of the trail that they have, like the stock image of that trail
or whatever. But then like as you start clicking through, it'll be like
a recent day, so you can see the conditions of the trail, Okay,
because yeah, I've had to do that for hikes before, trying to
understand if there's like snow on the trail or whatever it might be. So
that's like another way for trail stuff to see. I did look up today
all trails for that hike specifically, and it's because it said there was and
it said there is like a little bit of snow still on the trail,
but it's not like closed oring thing, so I was like, okay,
So I was happy about that. So you won't have to be in parkas
and you won't have to be dealing with a sore but on this trail hopefully
not. And I did see people are posting bears left and right, so
I got to get my bear spray when I get there. Really okay,
I mean, yeah, it's a very popular bear area. I think you
probably needed for that. Luckily, all the ones people have been showing very
close to them have been like black bears. But it's a very big grizzly
location as well. I've said my dream is to spot they have an albino
grizzly there. Oh it's all white, Yeah that is. You know,
it's funny because sorry, this is a little off about at the same time
it's not. There are like at least one or two albino squirrels in Saint
Louis Park and at once in Colt's yard. Yes, because I've seen it
over by Colt's house when I like a couple of blocks over probably but near
the vicinity that he was like, because I don't lived too far away from
cold. But then I just saw it the other day too, and I
saw Colt's wife posting about it recently, and I was like, man,
I like didn't realize this is like our local albino squirrel. I think it's
almost like he's like a little city treasury. Like you just like pray,
like it'd be the most sad day ever if you saw him like on the
road, hid or something. Yeah, it be brutal. Do you guys
just planned a trip as well? Last minute? Right? We did.
So we're going out to Leavenworth, Washington, and so it's like two hours
ish east of Seattle. Okay. We mostly planned it to do a specific
hike, and now we're crazy and we are going from doing like a difficult
like nine mile hike to a very difficult called twenty mile hike. I think
because what does all Trails estimate the time is on that one? Like fourteen
hours? Oh my god? Oh? And also all Trails says it's only
nineteen miles, but everyone else that has commented has said anywhere from like twenty
one to twenty three. So we'll see. But here is why I'm saying
that we're probably going to do it, because we might still just do their
original idea. It just depends on how we're feeling. But one of my
very good high school friends lives out in Seattle with her husband, and he
actually just did that hike last year. And you have the option to be
able to hide or to be able to camp, but you have to have
a permit, and that lottery has closed a long time ago, so that's
not an option for us. And so he did it where he camped one
night, and he said that he wished he would have just done the whole
trail straight through and just done it in one day versus like the camping portion
of it. So and I will say that I've hiked with them before and
I am almost in better shape I think than they are, and they hike
lot in Washington. So to hear him say that makes me feel like it's
like we can handle it, is basically what I'm saying. But also Andrew
and I just are I don't know, we just we love challenges. Yeah,
and so I think like we're like, we should do it because it
feels like it'll be worth it. But it's going to be one of the
things where we also it's not a loop hike, so you have to drop
a car off at one spot and then a car at another. So they're
going to do it with us, our friend Okay, so they're going to
come out and stay with us like a night or two, probably two nights
honestly, because we're probably going to be up at like four am getting to
the trailhead and then not getting home till god knows. When I'm shooting for
the elevation, I think that elevation starts at like thirty five hundred and gets
to a little under eight thousand. But that's twenty two hundred of that gain
And this is why it's so hard, is over three fourths of a mile.
So somebody is up by that shit, like why will the Age'll be
like how is it? Like in the like you'll see like half mile hikes
that take forever and they say they're super hard, and you're like why,
oh, because it's literally straight up okay, Yeah, so we just did
so when we went up to the North Show or Shore, for instance,
we did a hike that was over a mile of elevation of seven hundred feet.
Yeah, so this is twenty two hundred feet over three fourths of a
mile up scrambles and rocks and boulders and stuff, And I've seen the pictures.
I can see why it's so difficult. One person specifically said it took
them two hours just to get through that. It's called Asgard's Pass or something
like that. So that's the part that's super hard. So I thought maybe
we would be able to go up and do that part because it's right after
you finish the first trail hu and then just kind of see the area it's
called the Enchantments or whatever, and then go back down and so that we
don't do nineteen miles, it would be closer to like twelve or thirteen.
Yeah, but my friend said that once you get passed up to the top,
it's easier to just do the rest of the trail because it's all downhill
from there. To go back down that path is really sketchy because it's loose
rocks like all the stuff. That kinds people don't like to go back down,
And it would probably take just as long to go back down that way
and have the shorter distance versus just doing the extra mileage going like to the
through hikes. So anyways, we're probably going to do it regardless We're for
sure going to do one of the hikes that like takes you to that vicinity
that I've wanted to do for a very long time, and I'm just excited.
Andrew was like, well, it's going to be busy because it's over
like Fourth of July time and whatever, and that area is a very touristy
town. And I was like, but Babe, anywhere we would go over
this time would be busy, and if I stay here, I'm not going
to do anything fun because we're off on Thursday for the fourth of July,
but then have to work on fifth the Friday. That's so that's a whole
different complaint I have with our company. I'm like, just give us the
fifth off, you jack holes, because they're going to give like the regular
employees a half day. You know, they will an early release, which
doesn't affect anyone on air. It's like, yep, just give everyone the
day off, come on, right. So I was like, I'm either
going to stay here and have a random Thursday off where like sure, maybe
I'll go see some firework somewhere and then go to work the next day,
or I can go somewhere and deal with like a little bit heavier of crowds.
That's kind of touristy. So yeah, I'm excited because we have been
talking about some trips and it just hasn't been working out for us for a
little while, so we haven't had anything on the books. And I we've
already gone on or I've been on two trips this year already, so I
know it's not like I needed a trip. Yeah. I also like to
capitalize when we do have like a day off, like your other trip.
I know, the bachelorette party, Andrew and I did veil and okay,
yeah, I was gonna say, well the bachelorette it's not like a trip
you choose. It's always different when it's someone else's trip. Yeah, so
I'm super looking forward to it. And Andrew has never been to Seattle,
he doesn't think, so I'm probably gonna spend like the first day and my
friends live in West Seattle, so we're gonna stay with them for a night
and stuff, so that'll be fine. I'm excited. That'll be Yeah.
I like Seattle more than Portland as far as city goes. And then obviously
we did Olympic so that we went outside of Seattle. But like Jake and
I did our engagement photos like on the coast in Portland, so that was
very pretty. Yeah, that area is so beautiful. Like I I would
go back to Oregon and do all that again. But I feel like I
told fail on this over the weekend that I'm trying to find things that I'm
really looking forward to that are exciting for me right now. And yeah,
a trip is kind of an extreme version of it. But right now I'm
kind of in this lull of like I'm not drinking anymore, and that's what
a lot of my life revolved around. So like I still go to things
like this block party that we went to this weekend, but it's just it's
not quite as fun as it used to be as someone who's just like completely
sober. So I'm kind of in this in between of trying to find my
fun again. Yeah, and I kind of you know, Andrew didn't drink
for like seven years of his life, so he's been there before, where
like, you know, he didn't always love being around drinking constantly, and
he didn't he really just like stayed home a lot during that time. So
I'm just trying to find things that I'm super looking forward to and I'm just
ever since and I started dating, I'm so much more into like the outdoor
stuff, hiking and me too now since you startedting Andrew, but since I
got with Jake. When you go with Andrew, it really changed my life
specifically as well. Yeah, but speaking of that block party we were at
this weekend, so one of Andrew's friends came and met up with us,
and I want to know if you noticed this about him. He had a
booger. Okay, but Jake, but Jake brought it up, but I
only saw it very briefly. But when we left, Jake goes, do
you see booger in that guy's nose? And I was like, I go,
I think I did, but I wasn't ever directly facing him. But
yes, clearly Jake did. Okay, so I did too, and I
feel bad. I okay. So I was like sitting there, I'm like,
I can't say it because I don't know him super well. And I
was like, I can't say anything to him, and it would have been
in front of a bunch of people whatever, So I didn't say anything.
I just like kept making eye contact with it though, And I'm sitting there
and I'm like, why has Andrew not said anything? And I still haven't
ants asked him this yet. I should have by now, but I think
Andrew couldn't see it because he's taller. Maybe, so I was like,
Andrew's pretty good at me, like, hey mane yeah whatever, and so
I was like, God, is it my duty to do it because I
feel like he can't see it because Andrew's taller and nobody else knew him there.
Yeah, like having these conversations, but oh man, is it just
like it sticks out like a sore thumb when someone has a dot and like
a group setting and you're all chit chatting, and every time you make eye
contact with that person. I don't know. I should have just said something.
I'm like, yo, wipe your nose, yeah, clean up.
But yeah, I don't, like I said, I briefly saw it,
but it was so quick that it didn't if I would have been in a
conversation. Apparently was very noticeable because you and Jake both very much noticed it
that I would have. Yeah, I probably would have been all I could
look at. Yeah, man, we did get one email that I'm going
to read real quick, and this is going to have a little bit of
spoilers about the last season of Survivor in it, So I just want to
give a heads up to anyone who might be Survivor fans and for some reason
hasn't seen the last season finale of who won. But it comes from Emma,
who I've met a handful of times. Emma's the best, says.
I just finished season forty six a Survivor this weekend, and I was curious
what your thoughts were of the winner. Do you think they deserved it over
the runner up based on gameplay? And she's not using names right now because
she wasn't sure if I'd seen it, but yes I have. She's like,
but I just love recapping in here and everyone's thoughts, So I will
sum it up really quick because I'm sure a lot of people don't watch Survivor.
I was really excited with who won. Her name is Kenzie, and
I thought that she played really well. She used her social game really well,
and she was just a good hearted human who deserved it in my opinion.
But the other guy who was runner up, Charlie, was also really
played a really good game, also a really good human. I just connected
more with Kenzie. I think Okay, I just I don't know, and
so I feel like either of them were deserving of the money to it because
they want a million dollars. If you don't know this, it's like all
the only reality shows that has so much money associated with it s though,
but the winner gets a million dollars, and so I was very happy about
it. But Tina kind of thought differently because a lot of people picked Kenzie
because she won this last Fire challenge and they call it like a resume,
like what did you build up your resume throughout the season and stuff, And
then a lot of times people kind of give like their not sob stories,
but their stories at the end, and if you don't have like a dramatic
story to give, sometimes you're not going to win. Like this kid,
Charlie, he played a really good game, was a good person throughout it,
and made great alliances, but he didn't really have any kind of a
SOB story, whereas Kenzie did, Like I think she left home when she
was sixteen. I don't think she had a great home life, and she
became hair stylist on her own and she basically like has her own salon now
but makes like no money herself. It's like everyone else around her makes money
and she makes like no money and stuff. And so she was just straight
up like, I'm going to use this money for myself because my entire life
I've taken care of other people like and so she was honest about that,
whereas Charlie was a good person and was like I want to do this and
I want to put this towards research about that and cheerity this and that.
Yeah, it's like he was going to be a good person and do something
good with it, but he didn't have the sob story to go with it.
SOO gotcha. Anyways, that's a little sum real quick of that,
Emma, And then she continues to say, I hope you both are enjoying
your summer so far, and I love you both so much, and I
wish that the podcast was an hour loge, So thank you, Emma.
Emma. Probably, I mean sometimes we talk a little bit, we talk
a little longer than yeah, we get I think the max we get just
forty ish minutes. Sometimes. Yeah, I have to peace so bad.
I've been drinking so much, you know, water to keep myself hydrated.
Yeah, and she recommended Meta musle, so do you want the gross combo.
I've been doing two scoops of meta musle with a packet of that element
t to like extra hydrate myself, and I shake it up and drink it
in a bottle and it tastes like I'm just drinking ass basically, But I
want to get it all in at once. You know you do it every
day. I have been since since to put some cramed down what she'll call
it? Should I call it the before before BF BBF before butt finger?
Oh? I don't think you can do after finger af boyfriend, You're right,
anyone's gonna think butt finger would BF after anal probe? AAP? I
like that better. Okay, so there is b AP BAP okay before anal
probe? After after anal probe? Okay, you bap an app? How
long have you been taking your little cocktail of meta musile or whatever you said?
When did I go into the well last Thursday Friday? Is when I
bought the metamucile. And then my sister in law got me panicked, and
she was like, well, doesn't it make you gassy? Because it makes
me really gassy. I'm like, well, I haven't noticed, but now
I thought, I'm gonna get in my head and feel like super gassy from
it. If you don't feel it, you're fine. I'm sure. I
don't know. Now I feel gassy. I think I'm getting bloated. I
think I gotta stop taking a tuty out right now now, I wut and
do that to you. I wouldn't do it to you. I know we
do. We are decently respectful unless Fallon comes into a PROD studio I've been
working in for like twenty minutes and suddenly, like out of nowhere, decide
to pick no better than that, and I knock on the glass. I
don't I don't have a hazmat suit to enter and talk to you anymore.
What are you doing this weekend? What am I doing a lot? Honestly?
Oh yeah, you told me. You said you like double booked yourself
constantly double book I just booked myself for way too many things. At this
point in my life. I stick to one to two for sure plans over
the weekend and then TBD on everything else. I have like four for sure
plans this weekend. I'm most excited though, because I'm going to go to
Noahcan on Friday night and yeah, I love him, and I've been begging
for tickets, because, to be fair, I did go in to try
to buy tickets when they went on saying, okay, I wasn't just going
to assume I could get take tickets through the radio station. And honestly,
I don't even think I have good tickets the ones I'm getting, But I
went in to buy them when the presale started or on sale whatever it was.
But I got in after the queue whatever. So then I was paying
the same amount of money for like expensive tickets, but being like twenty rows
back from the same amount other people paid, and I got frustrated and I
was like, that's stupid. I don't want to be this far back and
pay the same amount that the people paid in the first row. Yeah,
so I didn't get them. And also they went on sale like a year
ago, and I just like I can't commit. Yeah, Like I know
people committed to Taylor Swift like so far out. I feel like I'm not
quite at that level of love for Noah. Con I might be. I'm
not sure. It wasn't a year for Taylor. It was like six months
out at least two. So I just didn't want to commit to like spending
a ton of money and whatever and so, and then the concert sold out
and so I just begged, yeah, tickets to that. So I'm excited
about that. And then just some other random plans with friends throughout the weekend
who I haven't seen in a while. But yeah, what about you,
Oh you have the wedding, the wedding Jake's brother's wedding this weekend, and
you're not in it, right, No, but all of Dylan and Jakar.
Yeah, so it's gonna be. And I'm all of his transport system,
you know, to get her to all of her duties as Flower,
her assistant. I will be her assistant. So yeah, so I think
that. I mean it's gonna be from Thursday when we host everyone at our
house. Friday rehearsals, inner stuff Saturday all day and then all of has
her dance recital Sunday. It's crazy, and she has her graduation Wednesday,
so I have I took off of work because I don't want to miss it,
even though it's like you know, a little kid daycare one and I
don't care. I want to be there for Yeah. Some people think those
things are so stupid, and I get it because we didn't have that when
we were a little but I don't I'm miss like I like these little moments,
like you can tell they just like feel so proud, like she's been
working on a song for months, and like even like at swimming lessons,
when she like goes under the water, she'll like immediately come up and look
at us, and she's just waiting for us to be like good job,
Like she's already thriving on the fucking praise, let me tell you. So,
I'm like she feels good about those things, so like I builds I
don't know, builds her confidence or something. So okay, her dance recitals,
do they actually like what kind of dance does she do? Ballet?
She does tap in ballet, but her performance will be tap. So is
it a lot of actual like dancing or is it them like kind of singing
along to the song. And I have a reason I'm asking this. I
know why you're asking, but I know it's not that she might sing along
to it, but it's it's a full dance because routine, like it's a
choreographed yeah right, And I always forget I think Olive's older than my niece
or she younger. She's bourn and a half. Oh no, then she's
younger, because I think my niece just turned five. Okay, so she
is younger. But my sister had her recital last night for my niece.
I saw her post photos yea, and she was like they were all just
like singing the songs most of the time and barely dancing. And I was
like, I don't remember ever singing when I was in now ever, and
they were singing a lot, and then they'd kind of do like something that
was like lyrically made sense in the song, like no, we clap our
hand, and they would like say something like that in the song. Okay,
okay, that was like way too like, yeah, I know you're
oldish, it's more mature than that. But I was kind of surprised to
see that. I was expecting a little more dance in choreography. Yeah,
hers is very much like you know, like shuffle shuffle circle with your partner,
arms, hands, kick, stomp, all this stuff like because it's
tap, so it's very and hers is to mister golden Son, so it'll
be it's going to be short. Okay, she'll probably doci do the wrong
way. She does every time. She just was to face the opposite way.
He's your partner and she always just like goes the same direction as their
partner every single time in practice. Okay, whatever makes those of the best
it is. It's cute. I don't want perfection, we want all this
disaster. Yeah, okay, question for you if you so you're Jake's brother
is getting married, Well, obviously you already have a niece. Well well
let's let's go this way. Okay, Jake's brother's getting married, and what
if they have a child and in a couple of years they're like, hey,
Ellen and Jake, do you guys want to come to little Lucy's dance
recital on Saturday? It's gonna be a couple hours. Do you guys want
to come and watch her? Would you want to go? Would I want
to go? No? Would you go? Uh? Probably not? Because
they don't come to any of olives Okay, So, and that's not to
be mean. They have plans and like I don't expect them to come.
Yeah, they come to some stuff of Olive, So I would go to
the important things. Hannah comes to like everything Jake's sister. So I don't
know, I guess I would play it by ear if we had nothing else
going on, sure, probably go. Actually Jake would most likely go.
He's a very supportive person, So I don't know. It depends. Okay,
why Jenny try to make yourself feel better a little bit. Well,
you're a bit far away though, it's not about that. It's about not
going to Andrew's nieces dance right hand. Also, I don't know. I
guess I don't know how close you are. I mean he used to babysitters.
We are close, but that's one of the last things I want to
do. I love when they're that little, you usually don't have to stay
for the whole thing. You could like go in watch them and you can
leave, right. It's like I think, once they get old, well
it doesn't. They don't encourage you to but like leave. But when they're
that young, they are like they get that you're gonna leave, right.
And they also one thing they do when they're that little too, because there's
so many classes, they split them up over the full weekend at different times,
so you're not there for like forty classes luckily, and I don't know
how long it is, but I do have other plans I don't think you're
a bad person for that. I don't think they're gonna like remember that,
but they might. I don't know them well enough. Some people are a
lot more salty about that stuff. And I get that. I just like,
I don't know. I have a very different relationship with like family than
I think Andrew does with his family. Like I have a very good relationship
with my family, but I don't do I mean, it's difficult since I
live so bad, but I don't do a lot with them. And whereas
Andrew's like, you know, he talks to his mom on the phone a
lot. He'll swing by their house randomly throughout the week and like say hi
and stuff like that. And so sometimes I get concerned that they like think
I'm not as good of a person because I'm not as family oriented as he
is and their family is and so and but it's really like that's just who
we are and how our family is, Like it's just a little different,
Like we're close, but we're close to this extent. I doubt they about
you, they love you. I doubt they think that, you know.
I just I get concerned. I get in my head, of course,
but I had to say stuff. Yeah, I've learned. I've had to
start speaking up for myself a lot more boundaries very important. Yeah, with
your own family, with other people's families, and some people are like that.
Some people could just spend all the time in the world with their family,
and like, I'm the kind of person that needs breaks. So Thames
is yeah, all right, well that's it. Jenny is a bad aunt
to be yep, and I'm still aunty Jenny to her. Okay, she
calls me Jenny. All right, Well, have a great weekend. Thank
