BLOG IT OUT (WEDNESDAY EDITION)

 

7:45 AM CST. 💿Current listen: Gregory Issacs – The African Museum + Tad’s Collection Vol. 3

Good morning fam!🌞

I’m starting my blog post early this morning. I’m going to spend some time packing more things today, and I have a few posts recorded that are ready to be uploaded. Not sure that I will fit them in today! 📦📦 I am trying to stay ahead of life at this point. Some days go by so slowly, and others feel like I am moving in fast forward. I’m looking for the day everything equalizes out. That will happen, right?

The first thing I did this morning was run to the corner convenience store to visit my friend, Mary. There are so many convenience stores around me, but the day I met Mary, I knew she was destined to be a friend, and when I move, I want to take her with me. Mary makes the best Community Coffee out there!! ☕☕☕

When we saw this townhouse for the first time, I knew it was meant to belong to me, but I guess that wasn’t a permanent choice. 🏘️🏡🏠It was the first time in my married life that I was living somewhere that felt like home. But, it really doesn’t feel like home anymore.

I have been living like he is just my roommate until I can leave. However, he dropped some news that was brand new to me. Which was the reason I needed Mary this morning…

1.      Apparently, I was the one who asked for this divorce. 😱 (I honestly do not ever remember asking for this.) I was told that on a Monday in December, I told him I wanted a divorce. That is why I filed… (I did not file; he did) He is changing the narrative to tell his girlfriend and her current husband. Hope the thruple works out! 👨‍👨‍👦 Mary’s jaw hit the floor when I told her this!

2.     Apparently, I stole money from him. He denies saying this, but your girl always keeps receipts. I was told I stole his money while we were married. (insert shocked face here) I never took his money. I had to ask for everything. If I needed food, I had to ask, or God forbid, he had a few pretzels missing from his stockpile. 🥨🤬Remind me to tell you the story of the pretzels!

As you can see, it's been a great morning all the way around… Let's get on to the good stuff.

This past weekend, I met River at the mall, and we created as much chaos as two old ladies could. We went to every store that we wanted to see. Five Below is fun, but the aisles are so close and the store is always crowded. 👩‍🦼

Of course, we hit up Spirit of Halloween. This year, it is in the mall instead of some random closed store in a strip mall. I didn’t buy anything, but River got a witch’s hat, and mine should be coming this week from the TikTok shop. I am planning on wearing it to the library when we meet this coming Saturday. 🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️

I introduced River to my friends who work at Auntie Anne’s Pretzels. They are the most fantastic bunch of people, and they are STARS in my book. They wanted to watch the videos we made around the mall, and I got new followers! Our family community is growing, and I love it. I have two sisters, two step-sisters, and a step-brother, but I always have room in my heart for more brothers and sisters. 💜

Sunday and Monday were spent creating videos to post later in the month and making a couple of TikTok Shop videos. I no longer accept just anything from the shop. I am getting stuff I want and need. If I want it, I try to get it. Why not? 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Yesterday, I was hurting so much. I will be glad to see my mom’s doctor up north to help get the pain under control. Mawow and I spent the day lying in bed watching movies on the Kanopy App. I get 10 tickets a month (free with your library card) to watch whatever I want on the app. We started with April and the Extraordinary World, which was a fun watch. I am saving two tickets to watch again, and when I can, I am going to buy the DVD.

Then Mawow😻and I watched Royal Wedding, and we fell asleep watching A Letter to Momo. We will continue watching that today while I go through my clothes. I never realized how much of a clothes hoarder I have become. I went from a size 22 to a size 4/6, and I have the clothes to prove it. I have managed to keep the weight off for two years, and I think I can give away or donate some of the clothes.

I did find out that my cousin and I wear the same size clothes and shoes. We are going to have a family fashion show and share closets. It’s a great way to save money and get use out of clothes that are still good to wear, but I have worn repeatedly, they will be new to her closet.

For the holidays this year, I am going to make homemade baked goods and simmer pots, but I am going to have a clothing exchange with family and friends. I will keep you posted if you want to get involved. Y’all are family.

Well, this is getting pretty long, so I will close for now. Come back Friday evening or Saturday morning for the weekly round-up.

Have an amazing day, fam.

Love,

P

Never forget how much this weirdo here in Texas loves and appreciates every single one of you!

WEEKLY ROUND UP! 9/28-10/3/25

 

HAPPY FRIDAY FAM!!!

Well, we have finally made it to Friday, and the weekend is upon us! Do you have any plans for the weekend? 🤔 Let me know in the comments what you have planned.

For me, this weekend is planned with fun activities. Today, I am planning on working on The Boat after I finish this post, and tomorrow, I am headed to the mall with my bestie. She and I are planning an excursion where we find every 🔮WITCHY 🔮 product in the mall. Of course, we will head to the bookstore and Five Below to see what they have for us to find. I know my butt will be planted in front of Auntie Anne’s for a fresh 🥨and lemonade.

But then my brain turns to the food court! I haven’t eaten at the food court for a long time, and a cheesesteak from Charley’s sounds amazing right now. Yep, I am hungry like always. Maybe Chinese food from the food court, I could go for some sweet & sour right now, chicken, beef, pork, or fried veggies. I could eat them all right now. I just put my lunch in the air fryer!

Now, let's get into the weekly round-up so I can eat my lunch! 🍜🥤

On Monday, September 29^th, I started recording videos for October. I am trying to knock the entire month of October out so I can start working on November. Why do I record ahead of time? I can get overwhelmed trying to figure out what to record, so I will take an entire day and spend roughly 15 hours listening to sounds and adding them to my favorites so I can use them in the future. I also need to finish packing for my move, and having content ready to go is a blessing to me. 🪬

I worry about disappointing the people who follow me. We have become a real community that I love and really, really appreciate. Without them, I would be a lost soul. There are a handful of people that I message back and forth with daily, and I know they have my back as much as I have theirs!! 👁️💯🔙

Currently, I have videos recorded and edited through October 17^th. I just need to get them uploaded to TT, FB & YT. You can follow me on your favorite platform. If I am currently not unloading there, let me know, and I can fix that. Except for Truth Social and X, I refuse to post on those platforms. 🫢

I’m also waiting for the money to be deposited into my account so I can get a truck rental to move my belongings. I am looking for anyone other than U-Haul because I am not a fan of them letting people ride in the back of their vehicles. If you look online, you will understand why I am looking for anyone BUT them. 🚛🚚🚛📦

My week was pretty boring compared to yours, I am sure. All I did was make videos!

Well, I am off to eat lunch, watch The Love Boat, and work on character sheets for The Boat!

Have an amazing weekend, Fam, and remember how much this weirdo in Texas loves and appreciates you!

Love,

💜P 💜

PS. Hi sisters! 💜Hi Mom! 💜 Hi Cousins! 💜 I know you're reading. 💜I love you. 💜 Time for a bit of puff, puff pass, pass, but when you are alone, there is no pass, pass! 🌬️

 

 

GenXfromTex has a Quest for You!

 

Good morning, Fam!

Not only did we make it to hump day, but we made it to October!! Happy Spooky Season!!!! 🎃👻🐈‍⬛🕷️🕸️

I had high hopes that I would be settling into my new home 🏡 in Pennsylvania by this time; however, we know that the federal government moves at its own pace, and to receive my portion of the 401K, I find myself stuck moving at a snail’s pace. 🐌🐌🐌I did not know that the federal government would have to get involved in my divorce.

We can agree to split the financials, but the government has the final say. A completely different attorney had to get involved to create a piece of paper that said my 19-year marriage was legal!! Even though I have the marriage license and now the divorce decree, that separate form was required to prove that our marriage was legal. 😲😲😲$750 for one sheet of paper that said, “This fool married that other fool legally in 2006.” The divorce cost just as much as my wedding, so I know I was a fool, but that foolishness has been corrected!!!

In my Quest for Knowledge, 🤓🤓 (Yes, that’s how I live my life! I am in a quest-based life!!) I learned how to connect my iPhone via Bluetooth to my computer. Not only can I hotspot myself out in the wild, but I learned to transfer files back and forth between them! Why do I need to know that? I’m really not sure at this point, but I know in the future it will come in handy! Never stop learning, fam! I have left a quest for you to complete at the end of the post!

I have been listening to Undressed by Sombr on repeat this morning. I heard it in the car when I was out running around getting stuff done. This song really speaks to me. I don’t want to have to get undressed for a new person again. Good thing, I have a FWB, aka Cowboy, who has seen everything under my clothes, and they don’t care about my scars and hanging skin. Now, if I could just take him with me to Pennsylvania, but he is Texan through and through. Maybe I can convince him to be a Pennsylvania Cowboy!

You heard it right here, LADIES… get you a FWB and stay away from becoming entangled. That is my HUMP DAY ADVICE for October.

On that note, I am going to record a few videos for next week! Have an absolutely wonderful day, my WEIRDOS!

Always remember how much this weirdo here in Texas loves and appreciates you! Yes, you!

Love,

P

QUEST: Make the rest of the week as amazing as you are! Show the world that the weirdos make the best friends!

Share in the comments when your quest is complete!
