Speaker: Hi guys, we're so excited for another episode of Classy on Occasion. On today's episode, it's sip or skip. We're going to talk through a few things. Or chug.
Speaker: We're going to talk for you through a few things on if you would do it, take a sip, if you would skip it, and dive into those just a little bit. So enjoy today's fun and exciting episode.
Speaker: Hi friends! We're so excited to be connecting with you all again. um We are going to have a little fun today. ah we wanted to start a new kind of um episode opportunity of a little game, um really to have some fun and connect with our listeners a little deeper.
Speaker: going to start early.
Speaker: listeners or viewers so it's super exciting that we get to share um not only our audio but also videos so that you guys can connect with us so we're to play a little game and we'll play this game every few weeks or so um but it's called sip or skip so the object is if it's something that can it be sip and skip yeah i'm i'm real thirsty over here um I mean, I guess you could because if it's like something you would dread doing like, oh, that's awful.
Speaker: i need I need a drink before I do that. and and I had to fix my hair that we're sticking up um So it's it'll be fun. It may lead into a little more conversation too.
Speaker: and So sip or skip. If it's something that you would definitely do um or would be interested in trying, take a sip. If it's a hell no, we're going to skip it.
Speaker: All right. What if it's a maybe?
Speaker: And you still take a drink. Well, duh. Okay. Okay. Duh. All right. Brunch at 2 p.m. I mean, that shouldn't even be on here. If anyone skips this, then they're not my friend.
Speaker: I think if somebody was like, hey, we're going to go to a brunch like club at 10 p.m., the my only reservation would be that's a little late because I need to go to bed. Yeah.
Speaker: Agreed. Nothing can keep me out of a good mimosa. Wearing workout clothes with zero intention of working out.
Speaker: Well, I'm thinking because I'll wear them with the intent of doing something and then I may not. But my intention, that's not true. Because when I gained that weight, when my studio shut down, i lived in workout clothes because they were only thing that was comfortable that didn't smash against my stomach with my like tight jeans that didn't fit. So I guess I'm a sipper.
Speaker: Yeah. I mean, it's it can definitely be a comfort situation. thing no matter what your size or you know yeah workout routine looks like um for me it's always but i can still be comfortable like yesterday i i want to intentionally wear more dresses um especially if i am going to be leaving the house but if i'm not leaving the house you know and i'm working from a desk for eight ten hours a day then workout clothes but in the morning and Intentionally set my workout clothes out the night before so that they are there.
Speaker: um So yes and no. So... Sip and skip. When all else fails, sip.
Speaker: um Oh.
Speaker: and Let's see. Going to therapy just to talk trash.
Speaker: About yourself?
Speaker: So just to talk trash.
Speaker: And what you say about others, I mean, yeah, I'm a big advocate of therapy, but I don't go to talk trash. I go to solve all my problems. Heal me. yeah right. We're going to skip that.
Speaker: For sure. Everybody else's problems, but they're not there to solve. So.
Speaker: But still giving you the tools to be able to manage those relationships or manage them out. Yeah. ah You know, we're kind of laughing, but I guarantee there's people that go to therapy to talk trash that might not be but intentional, but they go there and talk about everybody else and aren't open to hearing about themselves.
Speaker: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. i love this one. Sending a voice note instead of texting back. Well, sip, I could chug. You know, i all I do is voice notes.
Speaker: I'm really glad that this came up when I was searching for skip or sip. I love your voice notes because I can like hear your tone and the importance of what you're talking about.
Speaker: um For some reason, though, and obviously this is not your fault, but you send them at the oddest times where I'm like, what is she saying? Is this important? Do I need to like pull over? I need to stop my entire life hear this or you're on a zoom and you can't hear although someone else said danielle said heather i can't listen to it right now i'm like you know it translates right you can actually read it too it's not as obviously as good if you read it because you don't get to hear the tone right you can read them too don't read them while you're driving i don't recommend that okay i'm gonna i mean i'm gonna i'm gonna skip but i i think i'd rather i won't even leave you a voicemail i'll just wait for you to call me back
Speaker: First, leaving a voice note.
Speaker: um Oh, I love this one.
Speaker: Have you ever used orip or sip or skip using per my last email? Say it again. Have you ever used professional setting per my last email?
Speaker: Yes, for sure. 100% for sure. it's I don't think it's because it says like you're clapping back at someone or you're like per my last email.
Speaker: I think it allows this receiver to reflect and maybe provide them clarity. I don't think it's a... Do you feel a certain way if you get an email that says per my last email?
Speaker: Only if only with context, meaning if I know something's going on and that per my last email um is taking a jab based on the content context. so But if it's just some random, you know, per my last email, blah, blah, blah, I don't think anything about it.
Speaker: But typically, but I also, if someone if we've had some issue already or there's been some tension or conflict already, then they say per my last email. I'm like, ooh, okay.
Speaker: we're We're still not getting a resolution. Correct. um Matching family pajamas. Well, we've done it the past two years.
Speaker: We've done it. I will definitely sip.
Speaker: I think it we've come a long way of matching family pajamas where the men in your family don't look too feminine well this last year they weren't as excited about matching so i did us all and I think it was in red white and black so they weren't all the same but we had the same color scheme going on theme going on there you go then everyone has their own hot miles compromise yes um oh let's see
Speaker: Pretending to be booked and busy when you're just tired. Oh.
Speaker: For those that are just listening and not watching, we both just sipped. For sure, I've done that. Yeah, I mean, we talked about that a little bit on our last podcast, too, with Danielle. Just, you know, saying no to things. Tired can be can mean mentally and physically and can also mean that um that specific event or, um, whatever you were invited to, um is not going to bring energy and your life right now. And that's okay.
Speaker: Also, by the way, just to spin it, um, if you're not in the best place, like if you're not feeling ah you can show up, then maybe you should say no.
Speaker: Maybe you should take a nap. Yep. Tired on occasion. Yes. um Pumpkin spice anything. I'm not really a pumpkin spice. I mean, I like pumpkin, but I'm not really a pumpkin spice girl.
Speaker: I don't. I think I ordered a pumpkin spice the once. You know what? I'll have pumpkin, though. Give me a pumpkin roll with, like, cream cheese on it. i mean, put cream cheese on anything, honestly. Yes.
Speaker: We're cream cheese girlies over here. I mean, if someone said, oh, you sure we should try this this pumpkin spice latte or butter, then not not that I would say no, but I wouldn't go out of my way to find pumpkin spice.
Speaker: Correct. Okay, skip. We'll probably get some feedback for that.
Speaker: Botox parties. Haven't done one. Not saying I wouldn't. I'd be open to it. As long as I know the person's qualified. Qualified.
Speaker: I have this fear. i think. Oh, it's on my screen. Look, I'm thinking there's something on me. um I have this fear of Botox. I don't know. And I won't say I will ever get it, but.
Speaker: like Just injecting something that could potentially harm you into your Harm you and it's a chemical, you know, ah I feel like I'm. you know, consuming chemicals all day long. So putting something in my skin like that scares me. And then the like, let's get 10 people together. Hey, you should come to this Botox party. So why we're drinking.
Speaker: yeah know Can you sign this 12 page sign your life away? ah sign your life away um Now that we're talking to that question, i'm like, oh my God, but i need it. Stop.
Speaker: Stop. No, you do not. Stop. That's what your face was supposed to do yeah Even though I do get um trolled by Frances, she was like, you know you have a lot of lines by your eyes?
Speaker: i was like, yes, I do. It's because you make me so happy and I smile all the time. What a good response, mommy. Vacationing with in-laws.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah, I'll sip. my my My in-laws now are deceased, but my last marriage, we did quite a few trips with my in-laws and it was they were good. It was fun.
Speaker: Yeah, I think it's, I think, you know, depending on what your relationship is with your in-laws, I think it can be, um,
Speaker: rewarding for them to see you in your kind of unit as well right to be a part of that when it comes yeah to like the early mornings um so i think it i think from that aspect can be good again depending on what your relationship looks like yeah here's a little something someone in my life this is probably i don't know five or eight years ago they were doing family trips they had they had kids and they were doing family trips big you know once a year with with her family, then once a year with his, and they weren't taking any family trips with just their family, then husband, wife, and children.
Speaker: And that was the intentional discussion we had. Cause she's like, know, feel really bad, but I said, I don't want to say the person's name, but I said, listen, your immediate family is the most important family. So you got to prioritize that and then figure out how to, um, you know, logistically work in the, yeah cause it I mean, you want your kids to be around their grandparents and that's the,
Speaker: great relationship you want to have and and cultivate and as well, but not at the expense of your own. Oh my gosh. I could not agree more. That's so important. We, the vacation that we had, I think it was also the things we were doing. It was just so slow paced.
Speaker: I mean, it, it fueled our family, you know, for months to come. All right. We're going to go with one more. No, I have one too. So, Oh, okay. Um, yes, queen.
Speaker: You sound like my, 15 and 13-year-old daughters right now. They're like, yes, queen. I'm like, who are you talking to? So no, I would skip that. I'm also in my mid-50s. People are like, big what?
Speaker: Now that we've talked about if you use it. you say it? I don't think I've ever said it. i think I've said it in a text message, obviously very tongue-in-cheek playing.
Speaker: yeah I don't think I've said it out of my mouth.
Speaker: I think it's just like girl, like go girl. like yeah Oh yeah. I guess it just, and and funny that we that you put that in one of these questions because in the past, I don't know, two or three weeks, um, been around the girls maybe more than normal just because of ah circumstance. But, um, they, I want you to remember the words that they keep saying there's been like two or three words. I'm like,
Speaker: what does that mean good? Does that mean bad? I mean, I'm having to ask for an explanation. I'm like, why don't you just say that that was good or that you're beautiful? Why I have to make up this new word? Like, I don't know, but it's crazy. These words. apart I need a dictionary. We, we went to the beach with some of our teenage, our friends that have almost teenage girls.
Speaker: And they're like, that's Sigma. I was like, what, that, what does that mean? Like, even in context, you can't figure that out. And I'm like, Does that mean she's a bitch? Like, what does that mean? Like, is it code word for you to be able to like you use bad words, but then it's not, I don't know. It's, and there needs to be a dictionary and then it changes, right? Like every what, five, 10 years. It's like, Oh yeah. I said dope. with Like, no, no one says dope anymore. I'm like, Oh, that's a really cool word. Just figured out how to use dope. And now you're changing it. All right. Go, go,
Speaker: what What is yours? Okay. um yeah If you drop something on the floor, would you pick it up and eat it if it's within five seconds and nobody's watching?
Speaker: Okay. I have a caveat. Okay. Depends on the floor. What is it? Yogurt? Like, no, I'm not. Depends on the floor. If I'm at a restaurant, No. I'm at my house.
Speaker: Depending on if I vacuum that day with my dog fur. um Maybe or may or may not. Yeah. If I'm at my house or like a good friend's house, you know, and it's like a, I don't know, like a lemon bar that I was getting ready to dive into. i would totally dust it off. And if it was the last one, I probably eat at floor too.
Speaker: Yeah. I don't know if anybody watches. you watch Friends? Not really, no. we We watched The Office on repeat over here. Okay, so it's friends in my household, and we and I've seen every episode probably three or four times, maybe more.
Speaker: um But there's an episode where there's this amazing, I think it's cheesecake. And i mean, it's like a one, and they're like, they took it off their neighbor's, I think, front door or something, and it's so delicious. And One of them drops it. I think Chandler or one of them drops all of the floor. And so it's smashed off the floor and Jennifer Aniston, Rachel and Chandler are down on the floor with forks eating this cheesecake off the floor. And Joey walks up and he looks at him. what are y'all doing? And he has to the character, but he's like,
Speaker: Pulls out a fork out of his pocket, gets on the floor and starts taking it. I'm like, I might do that, but I eat off the top layer. I wouldn't touch the bottom. there there are There are very strict rules on, you know, if it is cheesecake just kind of in the crevices of my hardwood floors, it's probably, you know.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. That would reminded me that it's so funny. I do have one more to wrap up. Okay. Hold on. Let me get, ooh. FaceTiming without warning.
Speaker: Yes. Absolutely. Because I can tell you the person that I'm FaceTiming better answer because I don't FaceTime people that i
Speaker: like that would be put off by me FaceTiming them randomly. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you, you faced me one night with Kelly, I get nine 30 at night, I had on no makeup. i was just out of the shower. I'm like, I got to answer. It's Julie.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Oh, okay. Hold on. Let me find it Are you finding more? have one more. oh solo dining. Last one. Oh, yeah. Well, I travel. So I mean, I don't know if i around here. Oh yeah, I guess I have too.
Speaker: ah That used to be bigger issue for me and when I was younger. Like I, not issue, but I just felt uncomfortable, especially pre-phones because pre-phones you just sit there by yourself, you know, maybe even bring a book. But now I was traveling with work and now I'm much more comfortable with my skin. Plus I'll just do things on my phone while I'm sitting there or I'll sit at the bar and talk to the bartender. I'd love to do that.
Speaker: Yeah. I think that's a, that's a definite definite confidence thing. I would never, like even in my early twenties, I was like, How embarrassing. And what am I going to do? Like, people are going to look at me like, oh, gosh, she doesn't have any friends. She's so lonely. yeah yeah um And now it can be an an experience and a huge connector.
Speaker: um and just, again, whether you're on your phone or not, like, you can just sit and enjoy a meal. Don't you do it like once a week when... Your daughter's at dance. Don't you have a It's been work calls lately during that time, but, um it is just still, you know, night, especially when you're a mom and your octopus arms while you're eating your own meal and you're like, Oh, I haven't had a bite. yeah I remember those days.
Speaker: Well, this was super fun. So if you guys have any sip or skip recommendations, let us know. We appreciate you all joining us today and we'll see you on our next episode.
