Made de sans face sunny sune on, I had visions night. What's up?
Hey, wake up, wake up, get excited. I am excited.
I just can't show it my face. I gotta tell my face.
Yeah, did you get some botox? No, it's uh, you know
what it's a It's called moving itis and my eyes get droopy. I want
It wasn't a droopy thing. It was just like, you look very wrinkle
free. And I am obsessed with Okay, do I have this paper in
my hold on YouTube? Uh, okay, she's digging in her purse.
Hold on, Okay, I really want to get this thing. So I
go to take my kids to the dermatologist for acne, and while I'm there,
I'm like I was this person. I was like, hey, since
I'm paying a huge copey just to take my kid for for literally, he
was like, oh okay, yeah your skin you still have acne? So
do you want to keep using the finger? Yeah? Okay great. So
I'm like, bitch, we've only been in here five minutes. Like so,
I was like, hey, so like, while we're here, having
just paid eighty dollars, do you what what about this? Can we do
with this plating? To your face. I just was like, this is
this is a mess here under the eyes, Like what do you have?
What do you got for that? And he was like, oh, this
it's a it's fractional co ot fraxel. I get it's fractional, so I
guess they call it Fraxel laser resurfacing. So it's yeah, it's like a
thing that it's I had those for you have, well, I don't know
if it's that brand, but it's like you know for like the dark spots
and this is the malasma for and fine lines and stuff. This they do
your whole face and they can do extra, but it's supposed to be it's
like very intense. Yeah. They requires downtime, yeah, which I'm all
about. I was like, listen, I need there to be social downtime
because otherwise how do I know it's working. You know? I remember that
one that I had that was the Peel the one, and I did that
one a few times, but the last time I did it, I was
like, that was a lot of pain for not much of a difference.
But this is expensive, so I got to save up for this or I
don't know if you guys have seen my face and you somebody wants to start
like a GoFundMe for like fixed Stephanie's face. No, it's like two grand
it is. Yes, it's this is like for real, for real?
No, No, I know, I've seen the ones where the downtime is
like your face looks like it's been burnt off on barbecue. Yes, yeah,
I haven't done it. Like that's so intense. I'm too afraid to
do that. But have you? But look at my skin? It's it's
terrible like this, but I think you could do that peel again you want?
I want to like fix iyanma fix my face like I want like,
I want to look different. I want people what do you want to know?
I want people to be like First of all, I want people to
at first be like what happened? And then I want them to be like,
oh my god, what happened? Like that, like I want them
to go are you twenty five? That's what I want, which I think
would require an actual facelift. And then even then they probably would be like
are you twenty five? They'd be like did you just have work done?
Exactly right? Yeah? Those real housewives though, you know when you see
like Luanne and you're like, what kind of demonic life? Like what deal
with the devil did you make? Because she looks so good. Lu Ayne
does look good. I think Luayne, it's genetics a lot of it.
Like isn't she like, you know, Mediterranean, She's got a lot of
that in her Probably, I think she's got a lot of that kind of
like staying young. Look, you know, there's a difference between like Luayanne's
face and Ramona, you know, and Ramona is like fair skin, blonde
like it just sometimes that doesn't hold up as well as like the you know,
I don't know, Ramona's had obviously like botox and probably fillers and maybe
even a facelift, right and Sonya I remember one of them was like had
just had major work done. But what how come Like Brandy's face looks totally
fucked up, but like Ramona looks still like Ramona, just like not an
ageless by Ramona, right, but like she still looks like from me in
her early fifties, right, I think she can afford in New York City,
the top of the top, and probably Brandy goes to like maybe you
know, like gets her stuff on group on maybe I mean not no shame
in that. But did you ever got a call massive? I feel like
you did. No, somebody I knowed like I'd like to go to him,
but you know that it's gonna be like five thousand dollars to walk in
the door, right, Yeah, I mean you have to do your research
to like some of these places. You gotta be careful with your face.
What careful with your face? Yeah? I well listen, this dermatologist is
not there's no group on for this. This is like a This is the
guy that a lot of people go to ascole dermatology, and he should do
it. Anyway. Let's say hi to our friends who all probably look amazing.

with your move? Tell us everything? So yes, we moved on Friday,
and oh my god, like thank god, So you know all the
moves that we've had throughout our lifetime, you know, as a family,
we've always Adams always said like, you know, we don't need to hire
movers. We got I got my guys, I got you and Olga.
I remember Olga and I carrying a couch. I remember this, you remember
like from outside of because we couldn't walk through the kitchen because the floors were
getting done, so we had to move the couch. We had to like
set it down on like the back patio and then like trying. Ugh it
was. Yeah. So I've had my fair share of actually moving, you
know, on our own. This time, Wendy was like, listen on
it, it's worth And so many people have always told me we've gotten so
much shit throughout the years too, Like I remember Bill Simmons on a vacation
going like Aceman, hire movers. They're worth every penny. Hire a mover,
like every and so many people are like, oh, you know,
they'll do everything. They pack everything down to a Q tip and then they'll
move it and then they'll unpack it for you. Everything you don't have to
lift a slow down. Okay, So I did some research to find a
moving company in my area, got you know, went on YELP, found
place, so I called they. I called them to confirm that they're coming
on Friday morning and they said, we have three guys coming, And I'm
like, this is you know, we don't have a lot of furniture because
we just I mean, I'm I'm kind of getting all the new like furniture.
I'm gonna get a new couch. We have a like a small dining
dining table it's pretty light like I could lift it, and a couple of
chairs. As far as bedroom furniture, I got, I'm taking my bed
from the condo. Natali's got her bed, and then the kids each have
a desk. Son he's getting a new bed. He got his new dead
delivered. So not a lot of furniture. Well, how how are you
getting your bed from your condo to your new to your house. Roberto and
Alvaro those guys went and got it. Yeh yeah, so they went picked
it up for me. So they brought that over with some other like miss
laneous furniture that I had at the condo. So really the movers don't have
a lot, but we do have a lot that's going out into the garage
into the driveway that's going into a donation pile that they have to move out.
Then we also have the kitchen stuff, you know, so there is
some things. Those guys. So they were gonna have three guys and I
said, I think that we need like four guys, and I was like
thinking that was pushed, like, oh that's a lot, dude, we
could have used six guys. These guys came nine am. They were there
until nine pm. Oh gosh. They they weren't done packing the house into
the truck until like five p thirty six. So they do is they just
pack everything put in the truck all day long. They have a huge truck.
Everything fits into one truck and then they just drive it to the other
place and they're like, you know, and then they unload it, and
you know, I was like, don't need to unpack, like we can,
we can do that. So by the time they didn't even do that,
like but so they're just unloading and then they do take all the packing
stuff. They'll take that, so they'll un you know, they'll wrap things
and then they unwrap it and then they'll unbox and they take all the trash.
So when all was sudden and done, they were done at nine o'clock
at night, like they were there twelve hours. And so the new house
has no furniture really in especially in the living room in the garage yet is
filled with boxes. So then Friday, that was all day. So then
you have to get rid of all the boxes. A lot of the boxes.
Yes, yes, like I said, some of it they did,
but for like the dishes, the wardrobe boxes that stuff like I have to
get rid of. So that was just Friday, and today's Monday. Today's
Monday, so you're still like boxes, yes, So Saturday, Olga brought
her niece over and helped me. So the kids helped a little, Sunny
helped a lot. Actually, Natalia was like, later, I got to
go to work. This is my pro my y'all, Like, hopefully can
you at least find my robe and my slippers. If you guys can do
that, that would be a big help, you know. So Olga was
like, I want to help you get the kids' bedrooms ready because you know,
Monday's school and I'm trying not to like let it, you know nothing,
you know, screw them, you know, I want them to have
their desk, their computer set up. Well, she has a laptop,
Sonny has a desktop, but Sonny knows how to do that. So we
just spent all day Saturday getting like their bedrooms unpacked and put away their bathrooms
unpacked. Barely like really did much in the kitchen. I mean, I
think like we did about a lot of the like just the essentials like the
dishes and the silverware, but other than that, like the spices and all
that shit still packed, you know, pots and pans everything. So then
that was like on Saturday, and then yesterday was Mother's Day, so it
was just I was there unpacking like the kitchen and just and then also ordering
things that we really need, like runners and like you know, the like
mats for the front door and stuff like that, like you know, people
dragging in the dirt and stuff like it. It just we needed that kind
of stuff. So I like ordered that and also unpacking, and then the
kids were like, hey, Mom, it's Mother's Day, you know,
do you want to go out to lunch? And I was like, no,
as much as I'd like to, like you guys go go hang out
with you, you know, I'm I just like I want to get this
stuff done, you know. So I did a lot yesterday and then went
to bed at like one o'clock in the morning last night and now here I
am going back and so at least everything is like in the house. Now
we just need to like you got the internet turned on and all that.
Yes, And that was like on Friday, like my guy, our guy,
our tech guy ED that we've used for years, was there and he
was setting up the Wi Fi like I had the equipments, like just timing
everything, you know, Like he's like, okay, I'm gonna be there
on Friday. Can you have the TVs from the come from like Spectrum or
now. Now he's been like Adam's tech guy for years, you know,
like the av guy does all the TVs but doesn't sound. So he he
wired your house for internet and then Spectrum just has to turn it on.
Yeah, so he he said. So what Ed says is have the Spectrum,
you know, have the them, send the equipment to the house and
have it there by Friday, and have the TVs there by Friday. So
the moving guys didn't take the TVs. Roberto and Alvrol took the TVs which
was the living room and then the three bedroom TVs, so took them there
on Friday, them off and then Ed set up. The first thing he
did was set up the WiFi and then and I had to be there for
that because spectrums like you know, sending the code to the cell phone,
you know, blah blah blah. So that got had to get set up.
And then you know, once the Wi Fi was on, then he
he had a guy working he was working with and they got the TV's up
and that was then the TVs were up and the Wi Fi was on,
and that was good. Then it's now it's just a matter of like,
you know, tweaking things like like the air and the house. You know,
sunny and Italia run hot all the time. I'm always cold. So
I'm like, my room's on the on the other side of the house,
so that their bedrooms are on one side, so at least they're on the
same thermostat. And I was like, good, like you guys, you
know, cool yourselves down. Except for the fact that the air is not
this this house is like just got done being flipped, you know, so
nobody's really lived there yet. So the air, the vents are open,
but the air is not really blowing, you know. They're so like there's
a lot of these things, like the water pressure in the kitchen's not like,
you know, coming at it hot. I called Mike last night and
you told me what to do to get the water pressure going. Oh yeah,
which was nice. So yeah, I didn't do it last night because
I was so tired, So I'm gonna do it today. But he's like,
I can tell you what to do. The one nice thing I'm sure
of being any nice things about renting is that none of this stuff is your
responsibility. Right, things aren't working, then they have to fix it.
They have to fix it. Yeah. So and they they flipped the house
and they you know, they thought of a lot of things, which was
nice, you know, but one thing they didn't think of is they forget.
I don't know if they forgot. But Sunny's bathroom is the only bathroom
that has a toilet paper holder. Oh really, yeah, none of the
in my bathroom. There's a guest, there's a half bath, and her
bath Italia is no toilet paper holder. I know. Oh that's so weird.
Isn't that weird? Now I could get a free standing one, you
know, like on Amazon, right, but everybody's like no, tell them,
like they probably like it's weird. Why wouldn't they have that. That's
so weird. I think they forgot it. I don't know. Yeah,
I just told them to have somebody come put one in. Mm hmm.
Yeah. So it's like, you know, little girl like growing pains and
stuff. But we had, you know, the kids wanted to have dinner
last night and we had you know, ordered in sushi and had like Mother's
Day. You know. It was nice the three of us in the new
house. But we don't have we don't have a couch to watch the TV,
which sucks. But the the rent, the owners of the house they
got somebody gave them as a house where we give four like wicker chairs for
outdoors and they were like, we don't want do you want it? Do
you want them? And I was like, yeah, I'll take it.
Was a brand new so we have those in the living room for now.
So we're sitting on outdoor furniture in the living room. Oh yeah, but
it's nice, you know, it's nice. It's nice that I don't have
to I can like get settled in one spot, not have to go back
and forth to the house with the kids, back to the condo and back
and forth. And yeah, that's your house. Yes, I can settle
so condo. I know you're not probably thinking about this just yet. I'm
thinking about it. Okay, So are you gonna move all your stuff out
and rent it? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna rent it,
like how soon. I mean I got it, Let me get settled,
sell it? No. I think I like keeping it. You know,
you never know, like after the kids come back home, maybe one of
them wants to. I don't know, but it you know, it's in
a great area. So I think, uh, I gotta get like this
house situated and get some more stuff from Like I'm going there after this to
go my condo to get a bunch of stuff that I need and bring it
over there and then like figure out that. And then some people are like
you should airbnb And I'm like, I don't think that sounds like a pain.
That's a lot of work. Yeah, Like I'm not up for that.
No, So and I've renting it as better yeah, because then just
like have them sound a lease yes at a time. Yeah, you know,
plus you can get good I think you could get very good rent for
that yeah right now. Yeah. And I mean I've rented it before,
like a lot of not just too olda like I have had other renters in
there before and it worked out great. Yeah, well you know what.
You know what else is great? Yeah, Quints. You know when I
talked about Quins in a while and I've been missing our ads for Quints,
Yes, because we love it so much. We do. And with the
I went and got a sun dress from Quints because I was looking at their
dresses they have, like it's really cute. It's like an olive green and
it's got this like jersey T shirt material and it's they have all these different
colors. But I got this olive green one and it's so cute, and
I because I I like, I don't have like, you know, for
summery dresses, and I was like, you know, summer's coming, it's
hot, and I wanted it for Coachella, but I or not Coachella.
The other one I went to the stage coach for Palm Springs, but I
got it afterwards. But it just came and it's so cute and I love
it. It's a wrap dress. I was just wearing because it was a
little bit chili. I was just wearing my v neck bubblegum pink cashmere sweater
which they have for under fifty dollars. That's crazy. Of course, the
sweatpants I always talk about that, both Lynette and I are wearing right now,

new owners to day tabor on this Wednesday? Wow? I know that was
quick. I know it was quick. It was thirty day s grow bing
bang boom, I know out yeahs all your stuff out though, or do
you have to? I mean I have to go back over there. I'm
gonna go, I'm gonna do a final sweep. But I think, I
think we got everything, and are you sending a cleaning crew or they are
they having it cleaned. I'm gonna have the cleaning ladies come and clean.
Yeah, because it was it's dusty and a mess. And then I got
Phil back. You do, Oh my god. Everybody was so excited.
Even Italia, who you know can take him or leave them, was like
where is he? Where is he? He? Yes, we Sonny went
and picked him up. He was so happy to see Sonny, like jumped
on him and you know, and he's been hanging out, well, he's
had friends at this place. But then like he gets bonds, he bonds
with a couple of dogs and then they leave, you know, and then
he gets bumped. So anyway, so yeah, he was so Sonny brought
him skinny. He I did lose weight again because he's not getting the table
scraps, like right, they spoil him. But so he he came in
the front door and it was so funny because he heard my voice because I
was like Phil boy, Philly boy, and he was like and he was
about to run to me, but then he walked in and he was like
wait what and he like you he looked from left to right to left to
right, like where am I? And and then he like started like,
you know, he was very happy to see me. And I took him
outside in the backyard and you know, we have like astro turf. We
have fake grass in the backyard we've had and now we have real grass in
this backyard, and he was just like and son, he was like,
I don't think he's used to being on real grass. He was like dragging
his belly across it and rolling around on his back. He was loving it.
And I got his little his little uh little kiddie pools that I bought.
They're on they're on their way, should be delivered today. I think,
so, yeah, he's he's enjoying. He's enjoying it. But then
you know, now he's Phil. You know, his hair is everywhere.
The house was really nice and clean. There was like you know, dirt
on the floor whatever, but his hair now is everywhere. My bed has
been like, my blankets have been nice and clean, and my comforter,
and now it's like, you know, his drools on my bed and like
his hair is all over my bed. So it's like I can't have nice
things with Phil, Like just can't I know Pipo's of fur. She's very
hairy and it's and very shitty, and I swear to God, her hair
is like tumbleweeds, like it's balls, like they it creates balls and that
are like floating by like you'll be you know, I'm just minding my business,
like looking at my computer, and I'm like, what It's like a
little tumbleweed of people hair goes by and I'm like, damn it. I
have to vacuum. I know, I know. I got to get the
kids like they used to have, you know, vacuum they used to have
on patrol, like one week hurt, it would be an Italian, next
week be sunny. I got to get them back on it because they've been
sloughing off and it's like, you know, we see hair everywhere, and
it's like, you know, it takes two seconds just vacuum. I know,
I know, I know, but it's on my bedding. Like Vacuuming
is one of my least favorite chores for some reason. I know, I
don't mind it either. Yeah, no, it's my least face. I
don't really like it. I don't know. There's something about carting the vacuum
from room to room finding another outlet because I don't have a wireless vacuum cleaner
and it needs just like annoying and then I don't know im cleaning. I
like cleaning the bathroom. I know a lot of people don't like that.
Yeah, I love it. I don't know why. There's something you know
what it is. It's because it's such a small room and there's only like
a few you can clean. If you clean your toilet and your sink and
your mirror and your shower, it's all told. It takes like thirty minutes,
and it looks spectacular, you know. It's like yeah, you know,
and then you put a little windex on your on the corona chrome and
you're like, hello a hotel, like did room service come? But you
know, right, it's like very instantaneously nice as opposed to yeah, vacuum,
which is like a lot of rooms you yeah, And I mean vacuuming
is nice in the way that when you vacuum a rug, it can look
like a lawn that's just been mowed. I like that look, but it
lasts for like tis now walk on it and then it's like oh yeah and
it goes away. I know, I just The thing is is like with
my bed at my condo, I would have like nice bedding because Phil wasn't
there and I was enjoying that like light colors and stuff. And now I'm
like back to like, you know, dark colors again, and I just
you can't. I mean, I have to get like a quilt that's like
busy, so that nobody sees all his hair right right, right, you
know, but a quilt with like a job right, yeah, exactly.
Well, Okay, I'm happy though that you're kind of in. So Mother's
Day was a little bit Yeah, it was fine, I forget. Okay,
can we discuss Mother's Day in my like not drinking program? What we
would say about Mother's Day is like unrealistic expectations lead to unhappiness, resentment,
and disappointment. You know. I keep my all of my expectations really low
for really most things I would say in general, and Mother's Day included.
So anything above what I'm thinking, which is nothing, is going to make
me like really happy. So I have to say Mother's Day exceeded my expectations.
First of all, John was very sweet. He's very like sentimental and
he he's oh but the here's the thing. I like what I like when
I like it and I do it myself, which is to say, I
like to eat oatmeal. I get my This is what I've been doing for
years and years. Yes, I know what you do. My little oatmeal
that comes in the packets. I get some blackberries, a little bit of
milk. It's a even though I'm not on sugar, it's a little presweetened
oatmeal because otherwise I would put a little brown sugar in there. Bat a
bing bad of boom. Put that in ninety seconds in the microwave. I
got my breakfast, my berries, my milk, every single day. Yeah,
I don't like to I don't like to switch it up, right.
I don't want my husband to go like, what do you want for breakfast?
Let me go get you eggs. Well, I don't want eggs,
and that's not going to make me happy. That's going to make me feel
like off my routine. So I'm like, it's fine. So I said,
like, well we could, just we could. He's like, okay,
then you have to pick something special for lunch. I'm like, or
we'll just get something for dinner, right, but we always order take out
for dinner Anyways, I already know that's not going to be that special.
So Mother's Morning is the same as any other day. But then John and
I went to the gym together. That's nice. Yeah, we went to
the gym and I told the kids, Hey, here's what you can do
for me for Mother's Day. While we're gone. I want you you don't
have to clean, but pick up all of your shit. That's everywhere.
Our console table is full of the kid's stuff. It's like gremlins, like
they multiply, and then there's just like somebody leaves their purse out, and
then it's like there's like ten purses of different people. There's a huge pile
of shoes. I used to complain about this from way back, but there
are several seasons of shoes. So there's like sneakers, there's boots, there's
like winter boots. There's like flip flops. There's like in case, you
in case you want to hurry up and go to the beach real quick,
and I want to just like throw on your flip flops, you know,
yeah, but in case it's also like been raining out and you want to
put on your rain boots. It's like, can you guys ever put a
fucking shit you back in your room. I know, everything that my kid's
own seems to live in the common area. So like the kitchen counter has
like their stuff on it. That Caylin knows what I'm talking about. He
knows, he knows. He's got young little kids, so like their toys
are everywhere, right of course, So the dining room table, our dining
room table has become where Sadie's art project for school. That's where she's been
working on her painting for school. So it's like a lot of different paints.
So we can't eat at the table because Sadie's painting at the table.
Then, like everybody has like a snuggie, you know those or whatever you
call them, comfy a comfy oh uh huh, like like a blanket that
you wear for you wear like it looks like a giant poncho. Yeah,
so everybody's like a wearable sleeping bag. Everybody's got one of those. They're
all but you know what, it's not cold in the house right now.
They're all but yet everybody's there's like five comfies hou to ones here, Pipo's
to Everybody's shit is everywhere. So I was just like, if this is
for my mother's day gift, can you guys just put everybody take anything that
belongs to them and put it in their room. I don't care if you
organize it, but if it's not in the common space, then we can
vacuum and like, look like a normal house. Came home from the gym.
Oh my god, it looked like housekeeper had come. They did it.
They clean really the house. They got all of their stuff out,
they straightened everything, and then there were flowers sitting on the dining room table.
And they'd each gotten me a little thing that they know I like.
So Lbie had gotten me some lip plumper lip gloss to faste a yupper glossy,
and Sadie got me honey stirs because I drink a lot of tea.
And Xaner got me flavored My my, what's lightly. It's not sweetened,
but it's like flavored ground coffee, right, And he said he knew that
I'd been eyeing when we'd gone somewhere like TJ Max or something, and he
said I'd been looking at it, but I hadn't bought it. So he
got me that. So just a little thing sweet. They knew I liked,
that's so nice. Your kids are very thoughtful like that. They like
to think and buy nice gifts for each other. That's really sweet. It
was really really sweet and it was kind of perfect. So then we were
like, okay, so what are we going to do for dinner? Well,
so we decided that we were going to have Pokey. Okay. Now,
John was like, I'll get I'll pick up dinner, you know,
but he hates doing our Pokey order because he doesn't I know how to order
it. Yeah, he doesn't really know exactly how to order it. So
I was like, I'll just go get it. So everybody was like,
okay, cool mom, So they all sent me their order. So I
get to the Pokey place. New hours closed on Sunday. Oh no,
old hours, not closed on Sunday, brand new hours. It's just like
a paper that they put above their store hours that says new hours not open
Sunday. So then I have to text everybody. I'm like, Pokey's closed.
So then we were trying to figure out what to get and I was
thinking, like, you know, Glson's. I know they're not national,
but Gelson's is like a very overpriced high supermarket. Yeah, it's not,
but it's it's weird because it's not like air one. No, it's not
like that. It's like a regular groceries or just charges like way more money
for no reason, no reason. Everything is like twice as expensive, so
it carries the exactly t does Yeah, I know, right, Kroger's exact
same products, but like four times for no reason. You're like, why
are these chips seven ninety nine? And they're likes for Nelson's. We just
do what we want. So I would normally not shop there, okay,
because I'm not a billionaire. But they have really good seafood items. They
have like Pokey that you can and like, yeah, it's like already made,
like the c made. Yes, can I ask you what is the
deal with Pokey? Like what do you What's what's the deal with Pokey?
What's with all this raw fish chunks? It's chunks of raw fish right,
yes, it's diced, yes, okay, well it's like deconstructed sushi.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Let's take a quick break, all
right, let's talk about Thrive. Oh yeah, we have an actual thing.
And then I was using k true story. I was using my Thrive
eyebrighteners because and I'm going to tell you either later this show or on our
next show about all the outings I've been going on. But I was using
my brighteners, my gold, and my brown and my white. At one
time I did my eyes with all like, I used three different eyebrightener color.
I love it. I don't even use eyeliner anymore. I use the
bronzy dark chalk charcoali of the eyebrighteners. I use that from my eyeliner.
It's the brilliant eyebrightener. They have sixteen buildable shades to choose from and play
with, so you can use as little or as much as you like.
So I use like. Oh. It even tells you if you apply a
light shade like Stella to the inner corner of your eye, it gives you
that glow and like opens your eyes. But I do the metallic shade all
over my eyelid and then I just blend it with my finger. I love
it. Yeah. Can you pair it with the liquid lash extensions of the
mascara, Yeah, which can't go wrong. And this is what we love

put it on rice and it's just like raw fish, and then you can
add all these toppings. So what of the So I know that that's the
basic of it. So what toppings do they have? Like my jelly beans?
It's like froyo, Yeah, you just sweeten up. No, it's
like you pick your base, which could be like lettuce or rice or brown
rice, and then you put your pick your fish or you could do tofu.
I don't know who would do that, I don't, but you can
you feel like it, and then the toppings are like seaweed salad or crab
meat or masago which is like the little fish eggs. And then there's sauces.
So you can do like poky sauce, or you could do you know,
put soy sauce on it or should I might go get some after we
were want today, I do really bare bones. So what Deander does,
he goes crazy. He's like corn, onions, cucumber. You know,
he goes crazy. I like, I like a neat. I just do.
I do albacore sushi and shrimp, and then I just do a bunch
of masago. I make them go heavy on the massago, which is the
fish eggs, and then I just put some soy sauce on it. Have
a good day. We're done. Well, that sounds good, But I
I it's sat I like sushi. I just I have to have like it
like and I know that I'm eating like a diced thing of fish, but
I have to have. And I know it's in a but I can't explain.
I like it all rolled up into one thing in a in a roll,
you know, instead of just like speaking of that. There's a place
by your house, Linnette, because it's along my pond work, Yes,
in between my clients that I go to pretty much every week when I do
my pondwork and they're sushi burritos. Wait where, what's the name of it.
It's called Sushi Res And it's like a little bit south of lock it's
technically Glendale, but it's it's it's very close to you and I stop there
every week and they have the best sushi burritos. What's in it? What's
in a burrito? Well, they have you know, they have like spicy
tuna ones, crab ones, salmon ones, they have lobster rolls, they
have shrimp tempura ones, they have all that. It's amazing. Wow.
Yeah, so she rap sounds good. Okay, that's good. That's good
to know, because I am going to miss all the best restaurants that I
used to have around me and lock in uh Studio City, oh right,
because I won't be in there. I won't be there anymore. So now
I'm stuck to the same places. But that's okay. Well, so okay.
So we went to so I. So I was like, you know,
I couldn't think of anything else I wanted to eat except for the gels
and savice. So I came back, I got Xander, brought him over
with me. Everybody gave us their order. It's so pricey. So what
did you do? It was still less than actually ordering Pokey. So the
kids got they have the this like cubes of tuna and it's just by itself,
so you they and you could put some seaweed salad underneath it. And
I just did this big plastic thing of savich and then bought and John got
it too, and then bought like these chips, oh cvich with and it
was so good. It hit the spot that sounds good. But the point
is, of course, I was like, why is this beautiful mom having
to find dinner on my you know? Yeah, I thought everybody's looking at
me, like, what's she doing at the grocery? God, I guess
you don't have any kids, you know. Yeah, it was really funny.
I was earlier in the day I had I was with Elbe and Xander
at Target and the as we're checking out, the lady goes Happy Mother's Day,
and I just said, without missing a beat, I was just like,
oh, these are not my kids. And she got so flustered and
she was like, oh, oh, I mean and then I was like,
I'm just kidding, they are. And then of course Elbe was traumatized
by that. Xander thought it was funny. Xander was like she went on
a whole roller coaster ride right there, like she was like what what and
then laughing right I was like she had all the emotions and that'll be just
felt socially anxious about the whole thing. Oh yeah. I mean we were
like falling asleep eating dinner, the three of us last night because everybody was
so tired. It was like Natalia took a shower and Sonny was like just
got back for one of his walks, and I was dead tired. We
didn't even eat until like eight o'clock and we were playing. I played,
I had my Spotify playlist. We were playing for like Frank Sinatra in the
background, and we're just like we couldn't even like finish. I was like,
let's just eat this for lunch tomorrow. You guys done, And they
were like yeah, Like everybody was ready for bed, and I was just
still going strong because I wanted like I didn't even work in my room yet,
you know what I mean, My bathroom is still just everything everywhere.
I couldn't find my shampoo, I like, and they mark things like you
know, bathroom, you know mom's bathroom or whatever, but you know they
and then they layer it with you know, papers and stuff, and it's
just it was just like everything everywhereies yes, yes, this is the next
layer underneath right right. And and then I tried to, like before we
moved, to go through things and get rid of things that I didn't want.
But I did that with everybody else in the house except for like my
stuff. So I'm stuck with all the stuff that I just got to get
rid of, you know. But I mean it's not that much, and
I just it just I just need like a few hours, need a good
day where I can just sit down and get it done. But but it's
it was tiring, but but yeah, and it was great to have fill
back and and then uh uh let's see. Oh. And then to tell
you it was like, mom, I got you a Mother's Day gift,
but it's on its way. I ordered it. I know it's on I
and I go, oh, okay, and she's like do you want to
do you want me to tell you what it is? And I was like,
no, it's okay, but are you sure you want me? I'm
like, okay, you can tell me. And she bought me like some
necklace that has like all of our rhinestones, all three of us. The
stones. Yeah, but does she's yeah birth stones yeah, birth stones yeah,
yeah, not rhinestones, remember rhyinestone. I don't remember how big those
were when we were kids. Yeah. What was that thing called bedazzle dazzler,
Yeah, the dazzled dazzler bedazzle stuff. Yes, yes, I just
remember when it was like really cool to have like a dress or something with
rhinestones on it or really big stones on it. Yeah, it was stone.
That used to be my favorite song when I was a kid. Me
too, I listened to that. Oh I had it like on a I
don't know, but I had it on forty five and I would play it
over and over in our living room. Me too. I remember that I
told you that I love that song so much that I wrote Glenn Campbell a
fan letter. Oh yeah, and he wrote me back that I got it.
I got it. I didn't know. I was so young. I
was probably like ten. I didn't understand that, like it's just automatic,
like they just somebody else does it. And I was like, Glenn Campbell
wrote me a letter and then I got an autograph picture of him. I
still freaking have it. You did I have an autograph picture of I put
it in my photo album. That's cute, does it say to Stephanie?
Yes, I think, yeah, that's cute. Or just maybe it's just
signed good. I don't know, but it was very exciting, like a
run Stone. Okay, I love that song, Caylen. Do you remember
that song for one? I'm familiar with it. Yes. Really, how
was Amy's Mother's Day? Amy had a nice Mother's Day. I just he's
like, no, thanks to me. No. You know, she slept
in and then as pretty much as soon as she woke up, I just
took the kids out of the house for a few hours. So I pretty
much just that's every mother of young kids dream. It's just leave me alone
for a few hours. Yeah. So I just took them out of the
house. I took them to their play place they like to go to.
We stopped at the store and got her flowers and balloons and stuff like that.
And then did the kids get the concept of Mother's Day? I had
to kind of drill it into them at the and you know, I was
did they make her anything at preschool? No? There was nothing. Now
they that blame. Most preschools do something made a popsicle stick, or like,
remember one of the big thing to make your mom was an ashtray.
Oh, when we were really young, every we all made ashtrays out of
clay. Yeah, even if your mom didn't smoke or not, well,
they all pretty much smoked. So everybody made an ash tray, right.
Can you imagine that? Can you imagine in pre school being like, let's
make our mom's ashtrays. That's right. But yeah, it was in the
morning and she hadn't woken up yet, and so I was telling them like,
this is mommy's day to day, so make sure when she wakes up
you say Happy Mother's Day. And then I went and I go, all
right, what are you going to say to her? And Blake went Happy
Valentine. So she kind of wasn't understanding the difference, but yeah, and
then we got back and you know, her family kind of came over,
her brothers, and then I just went out and got her her her favorite
caesar salad. That's what she wanted for dinner. So I went and just
got her her Caesar salad and just took care of the kids all day and
just that's nice. That's the best gonna be your day? Too. Yeah,
that's the best you can do. Yes, yeah, yeah, I
I found I found a sympathy card that Natalian because Adam used to do that,
used to find just any card and write like happy anniversary. I found
a sympathy card from Natalia. Funny, no, like I do that to
be funny, right right, because because he needed a card. But Natalia
I found like from when she was like ten, she found maybe here her
dad gave it to her, but it was a sympathy card wishing me a
happy mother's day. Really funny, like sorry for your last You're the best
mom in the world, so HILARI I know, Like that's why I kept
it. You find so many things when you're moving by the way, it's
like, oh my god. And then even like like clothes, like,
oh my god, where's this T shirt been? Especially in Natalia's room.
Find a lot of my shit in there. Oh my god, I bet
you some of my stuff is in Alvi's room. Oh my god. She's
got like my purses, my T shirts, a lot of T shirts that
I've been looking for, nice sweaters ended up in her room. Yeah,
oh my god. Albe's room is insane, Like I hope she doesn't listen
to this. Well, if she does, she knows it is like a
sea. I mean you can't there's not a space on her floor where you
could walk. And I mean I'm not just talking about like just items covering
the floor. I'm talking about deep like it's like it's like a waiting pool.
Close all of her clothes. I don't know. She doesn't ever do
laundry. And I don't do her laundry because she doesn't put stuff in a
hamper like properly, like the rest of the kids do. They put their
stuff in the hamper and then they do laundry. She doesn't. It's just
all on her floor. So I don't know. She just takes things off
and leaves it. John just gets mad. John told her if we get
rats or or bugs or the first cockroach we see, like you're paying for
the exterminator. And it still didn't really change her behavior. Yeah, I
don't know. It's like it's just not worth it, you know. Now.
