00:00:07
The Amazing Rewatch

00:00:16
The Amazing Rewatch
Like, ah we're into the burrs. Yeah. The burr months and the end of the year is coming. Yeah. So the next few months are really going to fly by.
00:00:27

Season 16 Excitement
00:00:40
The Amazing Rewatch
um Also, another exciting thing is we have our season 16 episodes dropping. Like in a few hours. Yeah, so.
00:00:51
The Amazing Rewatch
um Make sure you guys go listen to those. And it's been a good season and we've had a good time getting back into the recording. We're still on our procrastination. Procrastination train? Yeah. is that Thinking that we were going to use all summer to hurry, like, to get, like, a bunch of stuff ahead. But, alas. this Here we are. 9.30 p.m. the night before and we still are uploading, and adding descriptions. They are all recorded.
00:01:21
The Amazing Rewatch
They are all recorded. But we are. And in my defense, I did start uploading them earlier today. Yeah. But I had to go somewhere, so. so Yeah. So they'll be there for you guys on October 1st. Yeah.
00:01:36
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes. is yeah Because we do the first Wednesday of the month and it just happened to be the first of the month this year. So, but that means there are three Wednesdays in October, which does give us a little wiggle room for batch two if we need to.
00:01:50
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Maybe. Yeah.
Transforming Fan Fiction into Original Work
00:01:53
The Amazing Rewatch
We'll see. But this episode is hour. hour ah monthly what are we calling it sister session our monthly report for the month of september sister session yes that so we will usually go through and like go through our report r-e-p-o-r-t r for reading
00:02:23
The Amazing Rewatch
And i guess I will start because I'm very excited for what I'm reading right now. I went to the release party for Alchemized by Sen Lin which is the published version of Manacold, the Dramini fan fiction has taken over the world. Actually, it it's been around for years now.
00:02:49
The Amazing Rewatch
But she finally, not finally, she's been working on it for years. So now it's published, but nothing in the story can have anything to do with Harry Potter.
00:03:00
The Amazing Rewatch
Because it was like the Jermaine fan fiction, the Harry Potter fan fiction. I've read it twice this year already because it's so good. And it's really long.
00:03:11
The Amazing Rewatch
And so this one is called Alchemized. And it I'm only like 75 pages in. But it's going to be interesting how she changes everything. Because like with Manacled, it's like there was a whole... We already had the whole backstory of the wizarding world and the relationships and the magic and, you know, all that stuff.
00:03:35
The Amazing Rewatch
But this is like... entirely new world concept. So she's taking the same story and like basically the same characters but just giving them different backstory and rewriting it as different people? Not really. i mean they have different names and everything but it's like
00:03:51
The Amazing Rewatch
It's already so different, but still the same. So it's going to be great. I'm really excited. Okay. Manacled. How do you spell that? I have always wondered.
00:04:03
The Amazing Rewatch
M-A-N-A-C-L-E-D. Manacled. Like manacles, like like ah handcuffs, like you're manacled.
00:04:14
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't know that word. Yeah. Like a manacle is like a i like I hear the word and I hear people talking about it all the time, but I'm like manacled. Is that like M-A-N-A-C-U-L-L-E-D? Like cold or like C-O-L-D?
00:04:32
The Amazing Rewatch
C-L-E-D. Manacled. Because they wear they put these manacles on the girls that make it so they can't use their magic.
00:04:43
The Amazing Rewatch
and So they're they're like, and they're manacled. Anyways. So I, it's like, Almost 1,100 pages. my gosh.
00:04:54
The Amazing Rewatch
And I'm only on page like 75, I'm so excited to get more into it. And it was a great event. she There were so many people there that she didn't do like a meet and greet after like other book events I've been to, but I do have, she did sign the book. So that's pretty cool.
00:05:11
The Amazing Rewatch
But yeah. Nice. Was that the one that you did by, did did you go by yourself? or Yeah. you Yeah, because the tickets were really hard to get. There was like over 500 people there, but the tickets went by, sold out really fast.
00:05:25
The Amazing Rewatch
So I was really lucky that I got a ticket. Yeah. Nice. Yeah.
Book Club Picks: 'Dark Shores' & 'Broken Country'
00:05:30
The Amazing Rewatch
And then the other book that I'm reading for ah Book Club is called Dark.
00:05:35
The Amazing Rewatch
Sure. Wild Dark Shores. It's really interesting. It's kind of like a post-apocalyptic kind of world, but not really.
00:05:45
The Amazing Rewatch
It's like, um it's kind of like a realistic book. Like, climate change has happened. The sea levels are rising. There's this family that lives on this tiny island by Antarctica, and they are protecting, like, all the seeds that have they've saved throughout the world.
00:06:02
The Amazing Rewatch
They're, like, the last place in the world that has, like, all the seeds that we could he went and humanity could use to like restore the world after all this wildfires and sea levels and climate change stuff like that it's interesting and that's for book club who that's not the smutty buddies it doesn't sound like no are you in that one still or do you we don't do that one anymore They just got too busy to do that.
00:06:27
The Amazing Rewatch
So I go to this bookstore. They do book club, three book clubs a month. And then they used to do this secret smutty buddies book club. And we would read like really smutty books. and But it was they it was one they wouldn't advertise because it was too smutty.
00:06:42
The Amazing Rewatch
And we did that for a long time and it was really fun. But we haven't done it for like over a year now because they got too busy with everything else. So, but we miss it. So maybe we'll just start it on our own.
00:06:55
The Amazing Rewatch
So yeah, it's that that's definitely not a smutty. Actually, there's some, there's just enough like romance in it that it makes it interesting, but not too much.
00:07:06
The Amazing Rewatch
um So i think I told you about the book that I started for book club last week called Broken Country or last month, I mean. Yeah. So I have finished that and we had our book club and it was good. I liked it. It was kind of like a,
00:07:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Kind of like a murder mystery in reverse. Like the first chapter. is like. The farmer. the farmer is dead. And then the rest of the book. Is you're trying to.
00:07:35
The Amazing Rewatch
Figure out. Who it is because there's a couple of different farmers. You're trying to figure out. Who it is that. Murdered him.
00:07:43
The Amazing Rewatch
kind it kind of jumps through time like it goes back to like past and then present past and present so i liked it it was pretty good it's it's set in like the english countryside what's your book club for next month it is the
00:08:04
The Amazing Rewatch

00:08:21
The Amazing Rewatch

Disneyland Eats & Family Traditions
00:08:47
The Amazing Rewatch
right. Eating. i'm only I'm eating um some Swedish candy that I got from a farmer's market that's really good.
00:08:58
The Amazing Rewatch
But I'm very particular with my gummy candies. Yeah. They can't be too soft. I don't like soft gummy candies. And they can't be with the gritty sugar on the outside like sweet.
00:09:12
The Amazing Rewatch
I want that stuff to be sour. Mm-hmm. And... i feel the same. and Yeah, I'm very particular. Yeah. So I got like a bunch... And they're like really expensive, but like half the bag, I don't really like it that much. Oh, man.
00:09:27
The Amazing Rewatch
Well, you have a daughter that probably doesn't care that much. Yeah. So she'll eat the rest. But it was at a farmer's market. It was like a cute little candy truck type thing. And it was fun.
00:09:41
The Amazing Rewatch
but Nice. Yeah. Other than that, eating, i'm not i haven't got my salsa the last couple weeks. So guess I'm off that kick.
00:09:51
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. i I actually did write down stuff today. Nice. Preparing for this because I have not the last couple of times. And the thing that I wrote down was like something interesting and different that i have eaten recently is the blood orange slushy at Disneyland.
00:10:09
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah. And it was one of the Halloween um food items. So it's like not there all the time. It's a limited time only. it was really good what what place sold it did you say galactic grill okay that's over tomorrowland it's not pizza planet no it's the one that's kind of like around the back of like that building that in front of autopia kind of yeah yes nice i don't eat there very often i don't either i don't know if i've ever actually like gotten food there yeah
00:10:42
The Amazing Rewatch
But I did make sure to get that because I went through the whole Disneyland food, like Halloween food guide.
00:10:52
The Amazing Rewatch
And that was really like the only thing that I was like, I have to get that. Everything else was like either absolutely no or just meh.
00:11:03
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah There was a lot of like flavored churros and I'm not like a huge churro. churro fan so I don't go out of my way for churros. I like churros but I don't want them flavored. I just want a plain churro. If don't have a churro I just want a churro.
00:11:15
The Amazing Rewatch
There is a churro cart out in downtown Disney and they have a strawberry cheesecake churro and that one is really good. But that's like the only flavored churro that I've ever liked. but I just looked up that slush. It does look good.
00:11:28
The Amazing Rewatch
It's got like like a raspberry puree around the outside of the or like the inside of the cup. So it like drips down and looks like blood. So it's like spooky and Halloween-y.
00:11:40
The Amazing Rewatch
Cute. What did um
00:11:44
The Amazing Rewatch
Schmooze's have? but Was there special milkshake at Schmooze's? No. Oh. There was not. But there was a special milkshake at Smokejumpers.
00:11:56
The Amazing Rewatch
It was a blueberry shake, which you would think it would be blueberry, but it was blackberry. Mm. Yeah, because blueberry would be disgusting. I don't like blueberry. Yeah. So I did put that on my list as like a like if it works out, I would try that.
00:12:10
The Amazing Rewatch
But it wasn't like I have to go out of my way for it. So I didn't get it. but Yeah, I think artificial blueberry flavoring is the worst. Yeah, like blueberry Pop-Tarts. Yeah. Gross.
00:12:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. Nice. Because I went to Disneyland with my daughter for her birthday. That was why I was at Disneyland.
Birthday Traditions & Memorable Trips
00:12:27
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah I surprised her. She turned seven. I did that with my older daughter, too, when she turned seven. So it's like a nice little tradition.
00:12:33
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. But now it's over. Now it's over. And I'm home. You just got to do it. Like now, when Evie turns 10, do it. So then when Cece turns 10, you have to do again. I was thinking, actually, like maybe – Maybe not 10 because Evie is going to be 10 soon, but maybe like 11 or 12 would be a good age to do like a like an international trip with just me and the birthday girl.
00:12:59
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Like Mexico or somewhere in Europe or like let them choose though. So this one wouldn't be a surprise. Like I would let them choose a place they want to go. Yeah. That'd be good.
00:13:10
The Amazing Rewatch
think 12 would be good. Yeah. Fun. That'll maybe be my next tradition. Nice. All right. Playing. have a couple of things for this one.
00:13:20
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. um I was going to say me and Olivia have been playing memory game, like memory card. Oh, I can see it. Yeah. I got it from a yard sale for like 50 cents or something like that.
00:13:35
The Amazing Rewatch
it have all the pieces? It had all the pieces. nice. Yeah. And there'll be like, since we bought it, most nights we play a whole round. There's like a lot of cards in there. So it takes while. We have the same one, I think. yeah And yeah, if you use all of them, that's like a, that's a lot.
00:13:50
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So like we turn off the TV and just play a game and it makes me feel like a good mom. Yeah. Like I feel like when I have the TV off and we're just like,
00:14:00
The Amazing Rewatch
doing something like with our mind together like a game before bed I like feel so much better about myself not that I'm trying guilt anybody about tv and stuff but I used do tv a lot yeah but just there's nights when we do that and I'm like okay that felt a lot better than yeah so we've been playing that a lot so if you're a long-time listener of the podcast you know our cousin Pete he was on season two and season eight with us he was like a guest for a couple of episodes yeah and
00:14:33
The Amazing Rewatch
I can't remember like the conversation that got brought up but it was like somebody said like people rely on iPads and TV too much to parent like um we used to we used to parent our kids without iPads yeah And he said, well, we also used to churn our own butter.
00:14:56
The Amazing Rewatch
And I thought that was funny. And like, you don't want to overuse the iPad, but it's like, use the technology that you have when you need it for, yeah, for good things. But yeah, a lot of people overuse the iPad. Oh, yes, for sure.
00:15:15
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes, but I am also very much in the mindset of like we're in 2025 and we have things that make our lives easier make our lives easier for a reason yeah like um vaccines yeah and hospitals when people are like like i everybody has own thing i'm not saying anything is bad or dumb or different or because i wouldn't do it it's bad anyways when people are like I'm going to have my baby ah home unassisted because women have been doing that for thousands of years or since the beginning of time. Yes, they have, but they've also been dying in childbirth. Yes. So.
00:15:56
The Amazing Rewatch
Or the baby's die Yeah. Yeah. And now they're dying a lot less because we have hospitals and ah doctors and, and like, you know, things like that.
00:16:07
The Amazing Rewatch
So yes, everything should be in moderation and But we are in 2025 and we've made advancements for a reason.
00:16:18
The Amazing Rewatch
but I actually, so when we went to Disneyland, I was like packing up the stuff and Jeff was like charging the iPad and like putting movies and stuff on there, downloading them for the airplane. And I was like, I think I'm not going to take it. And he was like, why? I'm like, because it's a one hour and 15 minute flight.
00:16:39
The Amazing Rewatch
And if she can't last that long without the iPad, then we have a problem. Yeah. And like once we're in California, like we're going to be busy. We're not going to be spending like that much time at the hotel just watching TV.
00:16:55
The Amazing Rewatch
So I didn't take it. And I bought her a little like one of those magic marker like like the clear marker that turns the pages color. So like a little activity book. and We brought a coloring book and some regular reading books.
00:17:09
The Amazing Rewatch
And she was fine. Yeah. She asked about it. She was like, I'm bored. I want the iPad. I'm like, well, we don't have it. I just really miss the iPad. Well, let's do this instead. And then it was fine. And then she didn't like really even ask for it again.
00:17:23
The Amazing Rewatch
So, yeah, I think we, it's more convenient for us. Yes. As I i believe we've conditioned ourselves as well to be like quick to yeah entertain them but because like, you don't have to be entertained every single second. I know. I tell my kids that all the time.
00:17:39
The Amazing Rewatch
They're like, we're bored. Like, well, it's good to be bored sometimes. Yeah. Use your imagination. Yeah. And they do. Like when they, and especially when Olivia is over too, like the three of them, when they like get like in a play mode, like they can play for hours, like playing school. They love to play school and doctor and office and play with the Legos and play with the Play-Doh. So they, they have things and they have ideas. Yeah.
00:18:07
The Amazing Rewatch
So to let them explore the ideas, give them the opportunity to be bored. But, it's also the same with us too like we have a hard as adults you know yeah hard time being bored ah we just immediately go on instagram and tiktok and we don't let our minds like explore creativity because we can't let our minds have a break from being entertained every single second mm-hmm But what are you going to do
00:18:39
The Amazing Rewatch
Balance in all things. Yeah. hard but Yeah. Well, what I am playing
Inheriting an Accordion: A Musical Journey
00:18:47
The Amazing Rewatch
is. Oh, we got to that. No, we just got to yours.
00:18:50
The Amazing Rewatch
um The accordion. Oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. So our grandma died a few months ago. And um like our mom and our aunts.
00:19:04
The Amazing Rewatch
And us and like our cousins have kind of like slowly been going through ah closet here and there and like trying to, you know, sort things to donate or get rid of or take the stuff that we want.
00:19:19
The Amazing Rewatch
And she had two accordions and she was, she was pretty good at them. Like she knew how to play them. And our aunt also knows how to play. So she took one of them.
00:19:33
The Amazing Rewatch
And then the other one was sitting there and somebody said, they're like, they're like, grandpa wants Jessica to take the other accordion. I'm I'm like, I wonder why.
00:19:45
The Amazing Rewatch
Like, he just kind of like had it the idea that I would want it or I knew how to play it or I don't know. Anyway, so we went down there a couple days ago and we're going through one of the closets and we found the accordion and
00:19:57
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't know how to play it yet, but I promised everybody that I would learn ah song for Christmas. So I have three months to learn a song on the accordion.
00:20:10
The Amazing Rewatch
it's the type of instrument that's like, oh, this is so soothing. I'm so glad you're practicing this at home. I took it home and I opened it and Jeff was like,
00:20:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh, why?
00:20:26
The Amazing Rewatch
I'll just play it when he's not home. But yeah, it's kind of, it's hard. Like there's a lot going on because you play the piano part with your right hand and you play like the chords with your left hand. And then you're like also going in and out to make the air and it's heavy.
00:20:43
The Amazing Rewatch
was it I said? I said it's like playing a piano, a bagpipe and an organ at the same time. Yeah. Yeah, kind of. So we'll see how it goes.
00:20:54
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, I can't wait. Maybe we'll have to post it on our Instagram for you guys. Yeah, I'll put a video for you guys. I'll delight you with my accordion skills. Yeah. All right.
00:21:06
The Amazing Rewatch
Obsessing. What are you obsessing over? Obsessing. Where's my phone? Do you have that written down for yourself? I do. i had something different.
Fascination with Witches: History & Pop Culture
00:21:17
The Amazing Rewatch
I have been obsessing about mommy makeovers, like looking at before and after photos, cause I'm going to be getting one done soon. Yeah. And just like, okay, how are we going to pay for this? What is the best timing for this? All of that.
00:21:34
The Amazing Rewatch
So I have been obsessing over that, but then today i got the email from our photographer and she sent us our family pictures that we got taken ah like a week and half ago and I am obsessed with them. Oh, want to see them. They are so cute.
00:21:49
The Amazing Rewatch
want to see them.
00:21:51
The Amazing Rewatch
I've been,
00:21:52
The Amazing Rewatch
is hard for me. I've been obsessing over like, Not just because it's like um Halloween time, but witches. I wish I was a witch.
00:22:04
The Amazing Rewatch
Really bad. For reals. And like my whole Pinterest, like all my for you page on my Pinterest is like witchy stuff. Oh, really? And just like. You should read this book with me.
00:22:15
The Amazing Rewatch
I know I should. Yeah. And did you watch Agatha all along? Yeah. It's hard to say that. Like that made me really want to be a witch. And i just feel like I'm a witch.
00:22:30
The Amazing Rewatch
You should read, you know, Hilary Burton from Montre Hill. Yeah. She has a book called like Grimoire Girls. Grimoire Girls. It's kind of like about witches. Yeah.
00:22:41
The Amazing Rewatch
should read that one. I really think I was one in a past life. And they fascinate me from like, like how.
00:22:49
The Amazing Rewatch
like the burning of the witches and like why black cats are like associated with witches yeah and stuff like that like one fact that i heard is like the reason like black cats are associated with witches and witches were like being they're like old women that lived alone were not getting the Black Plague because they had cats and the cats were eating the rats.
00:23:17
The Amazing Rewatch
And so they thought that they were doing dark magic and making other people sick and killing other people because they were not getting sick and other people were, but their cats were like protecting them from disgusting rats.
00:23:33
The Amazing Rewatch
Did the cats die? I don't think so. so Are cats um immune to the black plague? I guess. um So yeah, just things like that.
00:23:44
The Amazing Rewatch
And I just read about witches a lot and... They're all over my like Instagram and my TikTok and my Pinterest. And so I'm so i'm obsessed with witches right now.
00:23:56
The Amazing Rewatch
Nice. I'm going to try and be one. Okay. and Is that you're trying to? Yeah. I'm going to try. That's your tea. Be witch. witch. Okay. So then recommending.
00:24:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Recommending. Why does that word sound weird? Recommending. Recommending. I don't know. It doesn't sound weird to me.
Early Christmas Shopping Tips
00:24:17
The Amazing Rewatch
I need to write this stuff down too when recommend it. Yeah, you were you're usually the one that's prepared for this. Well, I'm recommending starting Christmas shopping early.
00:24:30
The Amazing Rewatch
I've always been an early Christmas shopper and and an early Christmas rapper. Like, I am done shopping and wrapping usually by Thanksgiving weekend.
00:24:41
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And it's so nice to enjoy my December and not have to worry about that anymore. Yeah.
00:24:47
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So it's the last day of September and I already have like probably 20% of my Christmas shopping done. Nice. Good job.
00:24:58
The Amazing Rewatch
I... Luckily, like because we draw a name for our extended family for each person just to give one present, which is nice. And there's just me and Olivia, so that's pretty easy because I only have to buy two presents.
00:25:11
The Amazing Rewatch
But then also, it's really easy to shop for Olivia right now because she's very much... She loves everything. Yeah, she loves... You should see my phone camera roll. Oh my she's so funny. She's like, can you tell Santa I want this? Yeah, every single thing. She's like, can I take a picture of this for Santa? Can I take picture of this for Santa?
00:25:27
The Amazing Rewatch
And so like when we were at like the Mountain Man rendezvous or anything, yeah and also my camera roll, it's like all the stuff Cece brought home from Disneyland. Oh. She wants all of it. So like look at it.
00:25:40
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh, all the stuff she got from the hotel for her birthday. Yeah. So she wants all of that for Christmas. Is she going to be sad? Like, because you're obviously not getting her all of this. Oh, yeah.
00:25:52
The Amazing Rewatch
I'm definitely going to set her up for like, you're not getting everything we took a picture of. Yeah. And she's always like, can Santa's elves make this? Yeah. Like, probably. I think so. But also, it's all She really likes cheap things right now, which is really nice. Yeah.
00:26:08
The Amazing Rewatch
The older you get, the more expensive you get. But right now, she still really likes cheap things. So, it's pretty easy. But I do need to not wait till the last minute and as well. Yeah. And kind of along those lines, i also recommend having a Christmas sinking fund. Like, we have...
00:26:25
The Amazing Rewatch
$125 a month go into a Christmas fund all year. So then when Christmas comes around, we have the money yeah aside for it. Yeah. And we don't worry about it. It's a good idea. So there's your financial advice.
00:26:39
The Amazing Rewatch
For Christmas. Yeah. Because Christmas is just around the corner. Yeah. My kids are now kind of getting to the point where they care. this This is kind of what makes it hard for me because because i like to shop early and be done with it however oh yeah they don't go see santa until like sometime in december so i don't want to buy like any santa presents yeah until they've seen santa so that they can say what they want yeah so i always like schedule like the first week of december to go to santa but i think

The Amazing Rewatch
And I'm really sad. But it also kind of like is fun that she'll be in on it. But I think that Evie is and maybe her last year of believing in Santa.
00:27:27
The Amazing Rewatch
Has she asked about it? she I think she's kind of caught on. She said something about the Tooth Fairy the other day too. She's like, I think that Santa and the Tooth Fairy are not real. I think it's you guys. And I'm like, uh-oh.
00:27:43
The Amazing Rewatch
So... I don't know. Like, what do you do? Do you just like let them figure it out or like let their friends tell them or do you I think if she has a little sister, you maybe should say like, let's make it still make it fun for Cece. And she would love that. She would love to be like my helper. Oh, yeah.
00:28:03
The Amazing Rewatch
She probably want you to wake her up at night to like do the Santa presents. So I might just kind of like tell her. Yeah. Because she already kind of thinks it anyway. So I might just like, I've seen things on Pinterest where like you write a letter to them and be like, although Santa may not be a real, like Santa means like the spirit of Christmas and something, you know.

00:31:22
The Amazing Rewatch
up to?
00:31:23
The Amazing Rewatch
Trying.
00:31:24
The Amazing Rewatch
Well, this is true. I'm trying not to buy things on financing.
00:31:33
The Amazing Rewatch
Because anywhere you check out any day, any, anywhere you check out anymore, These days? These days. That's why I was like, what if I say day?
00:31:45
The Amazing Rewatch
These days. has Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm, PayPal. You know, you could finance literally everything.
00:31:54
The Amazing Rewatch
And it's so fun to like buy something that's $200 or something. And it's like pay with Affirm over time. Do today, $0. You're like, oh, I just got all this stuff for free.
00:32:07
The Amazing Rewatch
And then it's like every month you're paying like interest. You're paying like a hundred things too. Like yes if you have 50 items that you split up into $10 per month purchases, that's still $500 a month. Yes.
00:32:22
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes. It adds up a lot when it's like, oh, I have three affirms due on the 12th. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. I have actually never used that.
00:32:34
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. so So I have, I've paid off several over the year. i read I don't go crazy. I'm not like, I don't have like a huge list. um But I paid off several and not done any new ones in the last several months.
00:32:51
The Amazing Rewatch
Because I'm like, if I don't have the money, I don't have the money. I'm not going to have the money on the 12th of next month when four of them become due. yeah i should have just bought it all out outright.
00:33:04
The Amazing Rewatch
And not paid the interest. yeah But This is a little tip for anybody who maybe wants to go to Disneyland. There is ah financing service called Zip.
00:33:16
The Amazing Rewatch
It's just Z-I-P. And they finance Disneyland tickets. Over four payments with no interest. Nice. So.
00:33:27
The Amazing Rewatch
There's a little tip right there. Some more financial advice. Yeah. From there. That could make you feel a little bit better because it's going towards entertainment for your family, like good time spent together with no interest. Stuff, yeah.
00:33:44
The Amazing Rewatch
The no interest thing is the big part. But yeah. But that's like you have to pay it in four payments over two months or something like that. So it's not like really extended. It's kind of short term financing. But anyways, trying not to finance purchases.
00:34:00
The Amazing Rewatch
If I have the money, buy it. If I don't have the money, don't buy it. It's very Dave Ramsey of you. Yeah, I know. i Me and Jeff did Dave Ramsey. and I think it was before we even had kids.
00:34:12
The Amazing Rewatch
And
00:34:13
The Amazing Rewatch
we like I don't agree with a lot of the things that he says now. like I think he's like so out of touch with a lot of his advice and like yeah how he says to never use credit cards. And I'm like, do you know how many flights I can buy with the credit card points that I have? yeah um but that is one thing that it's like, if you don't have the money for it, don't buy it.
00:34:35
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Yeah.
00:34:38
The Amazing Rewatch
So, well, what I am trying And we'll see in a few days if it's going to work.

Botox. Oh, yeah. and it Was really painful?
00:34:48
The Amazing Rewatch
It wasn't that bad. Nice. Have you ever had it? No, but I want it. So, yeah and it was... i want to finance it.
00:35:00
The Amazing Rewatch
It was kind of an accident that it even happened. So a friend of mine owns a medical spa, um And it was like their birthday, like the anniversary of their business opening.
00:35:12
The Amazing Rewatch
So they were doing like this event where you can come and um they they take this like picture of your face and it goes down like six layers of skin or something like that to see like what's under the surface, like what what's going to be coming up as you age.
00:35:27
The Amazing Rewatch
And also part of the party was like a discount on Botox. And i wasn't even planning on going. And then Anne, our aunt, and Casey, our cousin Casey, was going to go And Katie, our step-cousin, I guess.
00:35:48
The Amazing Rewatch
Casey didn't end up going. But Anne and Katie were going. and I was like, I'll just go with you. So they came and picked me up. And I went. And it was great. And we, like, got into the little room. And the lady, i guess she was a girl. Like, a girl came in. And she's like, all right,
00:36:07
The Amazing Rewatch
who's getting their Botox first? And I was like, we're getting Botox? Like, she's like, oh, that's not why you're here Like, I don't know. just showed up. I thought we were just here for the food and like the giveaways and stuff like that. And she's like, oh, well, you don't have to, but like there's a good discount on Botox and I love doing it and I'm really good at it. And if you want to try it, then that was a good time. And so was like, okay, let's do it.
00:36:34
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah, She's like, give me a budget and I'll tell you like what I can do with that. So I said, I was like, okay, let's say like $150. She's like, perfect. I'm going to put like six units in your forehead. And she did like four around each like crow's foot. And then like two on my eyebrow to kind of like, it's going to lift my eyebrow.
00:36:55
The Amazing Rewatch
um And then she said, she was like, do you want to start with the spot that hurts more or end with the spot that hurts more? Because usually like around the eyes is more sensitive.
00:37:06
The Amazing Rewatch
And I was like, probably start with the spot that hurts more. yeah Just get it over with. For sure. um So she did around my eyes. And i was like, oh, that's really not that bad.
00:37:18
The Amazing Rewatch
Like if that's the one that hurts more, then the forehead is going to be a cinch. the No, the forehead hurt more. Really? Yeah. And she was like, that's really surprising. I've never heard anybody say that. And yes it really wasn't that bad.
00:37:31
The Amazing Rewatch
It was like, I mean, it's getting a shot. But it wasn't bad. Yeah. And she's like, okay, wait seven to 10 days and you're going to love it and you're going to come back and see me in three months, I promise.
00:37:43
The Amazing Rewatch
I'm like, okay. So we'll see because I am getting some like pretty deep wrinkles in my forehead and I'm only 36 and I don't want them to be permanent. Yeah. We'll see if it works.
00:37:54
The Amazing Rewatch
Nice. I can't wait to hear about it because I want to it too. Yeah. Yeah. Is that something, like, does Botox help with the jaw? That's what I want to get done for my TMJ, like my night clenching.
00:38:07
The Amazing Rewatch
But then somebody... I heard people saying like people get jowls when they do that. But then like I said that to like I follow this girl on Instagram that does injections and I said that and she said if your person knows what they're doing and you stay like consistent and you know, you can avoid that.
00:38:30
The Amazing Rewatch
so I would think that it would like be the opposite. Like wouldn't it like help tighten?
00:38:37
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't know. I don't know.
00:38:39
The Amazing Rewatch
Anyways, so I would love to get that done. Yeah. And I want to do all the things that you just did. Yeah. I'm excited about, like, I didn't even know she could do that, but she's like, yeah, just, like, put a little bit right there on your brow bone, and it just kind of, like, opens up the outside of your eye and makes it look more open.
00:38:56
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah.
00:38:59
The Amazing Rewatch
But yeah, like I can't feel it yet. Yeah, you can still make an expression. Yeah. Because Anne got some done too. And she was like, okay, now I don't want to look like Tim Allen on Christmas with the cranks. And the girl was like, no, no
00:39:19
The Amazing Rewatch
no. she said that she doesn't really – she doesn't like to do it around the lips anyway because you can you can like do like the lip flip and yeah all of that and she's like i don't really like to do that because then you can't like sip through a straw yeah and i'm like that's weird like you can't close your mouth yeah like when you do that you can see my lines yeah i mean It's okay to have a few wrinkles yeah as a natural sign of being alive.
00:39:52
The Amazing Rewatch
Some people I look at and I'm like, you yeah you've you've gotten too much. Oh, yeah. Some people you can really. Yeah, some people.
00:40:01
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't think I did that. I got very minimal. I said that to like to our sister Georgie. I'm like, if I go crazy on my lips, you have to tell me the truth. And there's people that don't have people like that in their life that would tell them the truth.
00:40:17
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah.
00:40:18
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, I would tell you. i Yeah, I know you would too. i think I think you've gone too far. Yeah. I need to get that redone though. Like I don't want to get them bigger. I just need to get them like a little bit reshaped because I can see that some of the and some of it has moved yeah but not to a point where it's like oh yeah i mean unless you're like yeah no but yeah all those little things it's like we really are in 2025 look at us talking about putting stuff in our face to make us look different i know my witchy past self would be like what are you doing you just need a potion for that yeah
00:40:59
The Amazing Rewatch
I feel so like vain with all of the things that I'm like doing for myself lately because I don't – – I don't know.
00:41:11
The Amazing Rewatch
What, like getting your mommy makeover and Yeah. Yeah. And like I did like those Morpheus treatments and I've been spending money on like the weight loss medication and I'm like, gosh – That's a lot of money that could be going to other things.
00:41:29
The Amazing Rewatch
What, your happiness? ah Right. So it's like, but I, yeah, cause I'm like, I'm not even in my forties yet. So I should be able to like feel good about myself and be happy with my body and.
00:41:43
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah So it's not a bad thing. And bodies should not be associated with happiness, but there is a true thing. It's like you do feel better in your clothes. You feel more confident. You feel more energized. You feel like more excited about life, really. I'm going to bring up Disneyland again.
00:42:00
The Amazing Rewatch
And maybe I've already said this, but like past Disneyland trips when I like was 80 pounds heavier, like my knees would hurt so bad and my feet. And like the end of the day, I'm just like, oh my gosh, I cannot take one more step.
00:42:14
The Amazing Rewatch
But this past Disneyland trip, I'm like, I could go 10 more hours. yeah And I even, so we were waiting for, or no, we were watching World of Color and I put Cece on my back.
00:42:26
The Amazing Rewatch
For the whole thing. It was like, it's like a 22 minute show and she weighs like 60 pounds. Yeah. And i'm like like, this is less than what I was carrying around on my body. That is crazy. A year and a half ago.
00:42:40
The Amazing Rewatch
That's crazy. It's a whole person. Yeah. Like a small person, but a whole person. Yeah. It's crazy. I mean, it was distributed more evenly than just my back. yeah Thank goodness.
00:42:51
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. But yeah yeah, I just like, I feel stronger. Like I had her on my back and I'm like, I mean, she was kind of getting a little heavy towards the end, but it wasn't who like anything that I could handle. And that's honestly like the biggest thing for me is just to be able to like keep up with my kids and have fun with them and b true like, show them like what a strong body is.
00:43:13
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Yeah. And it's not like you don't have to tell your kids You don't have to hide it from them either, but it's like now now you can show them more healthier lifestyles, like being more active and like having like healthier habits with like eating and drinking more water and stuff like that.
00:43:31
The Amazing Rewatch
And like ingraining that into them instead of just like, oh, I'm tired. and I don't want to or you have to do that. no I can't. Yeah.
00:43:42
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. I want them to remember ah life with their mom. Like being able to do fun things with them. So. so um So I don't think you should feel gainer, gainer guilty.
