Hi y'all, I like I'm already crying. I was in a better mood. Okay. Okay. Well Um, I think there's just no way that I even get through this without crying If you follow me on Instagram, you probably already know but a month ago like this week then of January my little brother passed away I needed it to just take the last like a month off of Filming obviously because I can't do anything without crying I'm gonna talk about it more in like an upcoming podcast episode that will go up The week that you guys are seeing this. I'm obviously like so devastated. It's so heartbroken My god, I really thought I was gonna be able to do this without crying We were very very close. My entire family is very very close.  They were all just like It's so unfair because he was just the greatest person ever My god, I'm sorry to like be so depressing like I promise I Will like get it together and it'll be okay And I'm not gonna be sitting on the internet crying for the next year like I really am not I think it'll be good for me To like get back to like filming and doing other things Just because they give some sort of sense of normalcy and Cody would like absolutely hate if I was just sitting around crying all They like he would hate that anyone was sad over him. He would hate like he would hate it It's just I think sometimes when I say out loud like I obviously know what happened Like I obviously like going through it whenever I say it out loud again It like feels so weird like when someone else says it to me I'm like what do you mean like Cody's not here like it just feels so weird But anyways, this vlog is not gonna be about that. I'm gonna record a like episode that's gonna go up just kind of I'm talking a little bit more about it just because I feel like it would be so weird if I just like came back and like Said nothing Cody would literally hate if I was just like sitting around crying and like sad all the time Like he would want me to going and doing all these things We also always bonded over like working out and sauna is in reading and cool plunges and things like that So it's like I really do need to like get back to all that stuff like for the past month guys I've literally been sitting there in my needle point chair. My room looks different. We'll get that to that Needle pointing my life away. That is what I've been doing for the past month with a few exceptions The only things that have really like brought me peace I will say the first thing if you guys have happened to be going through this. I god forbid I hope no one was watching this video is but if you're going through any sort of grief or honestly Just like an interesting read the book imagine heaven. I'm hi Hi fits has actually not been he's been kind of ignoring me the whole time We've obviously had a lot of family and friends in town and he's loved all the attention So it's sweet of him to show me some sort of empathy. Okay. Hi Okay, do you want to sit here? Thank you fit see I'm gonna move my coffee, but thank you okay, so The book imagine heaven. I'm only like 40% of the way through but like it really really really helps me and just to Have like some sort of like an idea and it's a bunch of people who've had like near-death experiences I'm like on the heaven and like their experiences with it It like really helps and then it's literally been needle pointing and then just working on like home stuff Which I've really just been in bed needle pointing not gonna lie, but I have made some improvements As you can see I've finally done my room. So anyways, I'm just gonna take you guys through some of the home updates some of my needle pointing projects things that we've been doing I I Yeah, I mean, I'm obviously gonna be very sad probably for the rest of my life great Hi But I don't want My youtube channel to be like the most depressing place in the world I wanted to be like an escape for even myself at this point Oh, I have so many garden updates too Molly is coming for a week And then Brooke Danielle and take care coming for a couple days in between that too So maybe I'll vlog a little bit of that So I feel like it'll be easier for me to vlog like more normal things. I had to go to Austin Yesterday like just for the day really or the night really quick trip with Macy for a recording We'd already had like booked and contracted and scheduled so I had to hi I had to get that done and it came home last night and I was So exhausted and we had shot something like I had like two things that I had to do with like other people All people that I like love like it wasn't like a problem, but I got home last night and I was so Exhausted like oh my god. Anyways, I am really lucky to have like an amazing family and the best friends ever It's just been Obviously the worst time probably of my life. I hope this is the worst thing if it gets worse. It's worth it God hello He really is just showing this for the camera. He's not been this comforting guys I swear There's a lot of things that I want to say a lot of things I want to do It's just like not the place right now But thank you guys to everyone who sent me like the kindest messages and everyone's just been like so Above and beyond nice like I like don't even think I've ever cried on YouTube before this is warranted sure but Cody When he was little he was always so supportive my YouTube channel He loved YouTube we would always also bond on that and he would come in and tell me how many subscribers I had and like all of that stuff. I can't like ever retell this without sobbing, but Anyways, I mean we're already here I was getting messages from y'all being like I'm so sorry for your loss like as much as I feel like I grew up with you I feel like I also grew up with Maddie and Cody And just like how much you guys love them and love Maddie still But it was just really sweet because I also don't feel like like as Cody got older The Cody would stay with me at my town house a lot and like would be over here a lot But I just like he has he got older I don't know like he went to high school and they didn't want to be the videos anymore Because he was like in high school and then I mean there was like some things that he was in that I know he was in that the lake house vlog like literally two months ago And like just a couple things but like normally when he would come stay with me like we wouldn't really film Now I kind of regret that not really though like I really don't But anyways, I don't know how to transition this I'm gonna like get in a little bit of a better mood, but I have a lot of home projects to show you guys and Anything home. It's just the most like therapeutic Comforting thing to me ever like whenever I'm home, too It's like this is like a magical oasis and I feel like a lot better and then I leave my house And I'm like, okay. I can't do this But with that being said I did Make some moves on some home projects because it did make me feel better I don't know something about home, which is always so comforting to me I literally have a home brand friend of mine So yeah, I've never even been more passionate about that than I am now just seeing like how much peace and like Comfort it's brought me and I know Cody who don't mean to continue on with everything. Oh my god Okay, the coffee's fine, but like I got that new coffee maker And I think I'm all in the other day to like have her teach me because Molly really is like my big sister that I like Literally don't do anything about her approval or like ask her for things or like help But she taught me how to make the coffee and I think that like the grounds are not really the grounds that I want or something I don't know It's like, okay. It's better for sure than the coffee. I was making already I just personally have room for improvement, but she's coming on Sunday Thank God and she'll be here for a week Which will be really amazing because Molly is like one of my like number one comfort people like there's no one that I'm like More comfortable with my life. I also don't want to say While we're here Thank you to all of like my friends who have been so incredible But like especially me see a dog. I'm like I can't even talk about that without crying but like I Call it when I got the call I called on and she flew in that night Oh My god guess I'm so like it's like I would just try to refilm this and be more calm I just don't think that I will be able to do that So I'm sorry for stopping like she flew in I came home I was at my parents and I came home and like well, I think they picked me up I don't really remember and I came home and it was like Marissa and Lauren and Liz and like dog Liz just happened to be in town and don't it was just they see like my closest friends in the world and Domicii did not leave me alone the entire time like we stayed here. We moved all the mattresses out to my living room I always had like a lot of visitors coming and I had to like just get a bunch of stuff done for the service, but We literally just sat there I either cried or just like staring at a wall But I really have been crying or staring at a wall for probably the past month I just like cannot believe this is real and like I will literally never ever be able to repay them like I don't know how I would have gone through it and like even now Macy is still doing like literally everything for me And I'm just like so grateful. I just like there's like not even words honestly There's no words for like anything that I'm feeling so anyways What that being said I like I don't want to re-film this but like I I just know I'm gonna keep crying So like here we are I Want to show you guys My home projects that I've been working on because that has been something that has like really been getting my mind off Things my mind never really gets off things if I'm being honest, but like it's been something that I don't know It gives me some sort of like peace and some sort of comfort Aside from my talking to other friends who have experienced loss I just have experienced so much loss and I'm 26 like I know I'm not the only person in the world Who has like gone through this it just like still we're gonna go and I'm gonna get it together and then I'm gonna show you guys just some of the things I've been working on because you have a lot of updates and I'm excited Kind of I don't know. I like feel nothing at this point, but you guys know what I'm saying actually I Whatever, okay, we're just gonna get into it I also just want to say right now that like literally everything I do feels weird I'm like I have to like title this video. I have to like there's to be like a thumbnail Like I'm not gonna like pose for like you know I don't know it all feels weird and also just what I've learned from grief and I've already lost two other like very like close family members like some days who are have better days than others I guess today. I don't know if it's like that. I'm not gonna have a good day Or if it's just the fact that like I had to actually finally like say that I think it's just the fact that I'd like film this Um, I do like work my way up so hard to like leave the house or talk to someone or do something besides like my closest friends, but like it just takes so much out of me and I think like what I'm like Dreading the most or like I don't know like it's like I Feel guilty if I'm doing something and having fun But I feel guilty if I'm not doing something and having fun Because that's what Cody would like want me to be doing like I can hear him. Oh my god I'm sorry. I wasn't supposed to cry again But I can hear him like sitting at the end of my bed like talking to me like how he always used to And like I know what he would be saying and I know what he'd want me to do So I'm gonna try my best if I get one comment about how like my brother's died It's sort of gone. I'm not kidding guys.  It comes in waves like some days you can like manage to get through things I mean I cry every day regardless, but and then sometimes I don't even have like the energy to cry and then you just stare at a wall so Anyways, I'm getting it together and we're gonna show this this is like show what I've been doing, but I'm getting it together. Okay guys. I'm back. I think this is good as it's gonna get but as you guys can see I finally did Finish pretty much my room. I probably will hang a couple like Frames or something over there, but this is like pretty much it's what I've been wanting to do and then when I was like Well, I'm gonna be spending a lot of time in my room in the coming months. I should definitely finish it I just I feel like everything in my house is done besides like my living room Which weirdly is where we spend the most time and then my bedroom, which is where I now spend the most time I just wasn't ever in here before and now that I finished it. I just love it. Like it's so cozy It brings me so much peace it like just it's just the best thing ever So anyways, I did end up getting a TV which I didn't plan on getting a TV in This house just because I like am way more of a reader but guys this year. I've only read I think like three books and like as I'm recording this It's February 22nd So I cannot even Like got a song like me. I was reading two books a week, but since needle-pointing has really taken over I have been like watching TV. Oh, I watched I'm this is basically like mood boosters Lord Elizabeth style or content uppers if you will whatever you want to call them I Watched lessons in chemistry in a day and I need appointed away I'll I'll get to that later and it was just everything I needed So anyways, I did bring a TV in here just because I'm always seeing here all the time now and it's a frame TV So my art for it isn't even on but here is I always get confused. I'm like What's on what's not like okay? Well, you can't even I'll I'll I'll show you guys You can't even really see it that well right now. It's a mode. I am actually an art critic now so anyways, I got that it's a 43 inch and What a good thing I grew up always with the TV in my room like I just was like a TV in your household and Now I'm so glad to have brought that back. So anyways, I have three frame TVs now I'm such a frame to you TV girl. They are so worth it because yes, like They are more expensive. Don't get me wrong, but it doubles as an art piece Okay, an art is expensive So like that's how I justify it and you can change the art out with that being said The craziest thing about a friend TV is that it doesn't actually come with a frame So then you have to buy a frame on top of that. So this is from I Think it's like frame deco art frame deco something like that. What is oh, that's me It's a little bit of my reflection And it was the easiest thing I ever to put on So Love that like it's so cozy and then I mean this isn't like I have like a family's water here This isn't how it's gonna be like Design and organize. This is my current needle-pointing project This is what I was supposed to wear it today and then I just have like gardening books and like these are obviously not gonna be here But these were here before this was here. So that's why that's that Anyways, um moving on to the wallpaper. Okay, so I mean guys, it's just so cozy No updates an organization have made me to the bathroom. That is not my business right now But this I mean the drapes look weird because I have my door open. They're from Amazon 50 bucks I mean I need to keep steaming them They're not fully steamed yet and that is driving me crazy, but overall it's just so cozy. I got new bedding I actually cannot remember where I got that bedding from I will have everything linked below I don't know why I can't I mean I have like right now. Let me just okay Okay, so there's this thing called like grief brain where you can't remember anything and like you mess up Like I ran out of gas on the highway on the way to Austin the other night I'm never in my life right now to gas How did I not think to like I don't know look at how much grass I had like we were two and a half hours away Maybe I will tell the story on a podcast. It's actually like funny. We end up making it like a good experience Thank God again, maybe was there is what I'm saying like literally my lifeline because I would have I don't know What I would have done. I would have been so screwed but anyways Um, I have no memory. I can't remember anything and it's not my brain fog is bad for you know It's never been worse. So anyways, this is that my wallpaper is from Overstalker wafer. I always get confused, but I will link it below very inexpensive for wallpaper And then I have a guy that I recommend in Dallas if y'all are in Dallas just DM me and I'll send you his rec but I Love it like it literally could not be Cozier also by the way this little pillow right here. Yes. It looks like I'm in middle school.  It does give me a little bit of like Joy, I guess sure. Why not anyways? Yeah, anyways, I'm loving loving my room fits is loving it as well It's just been amazing if for those who are gonna ask the chair that bench that dresser article The The headboard I think it's overstock and then my two nightstands our restoration hardware I got the one basic marketplace though, and then my lamps are at home. So That's what we got here. We have big updates in the backyard. Y'all are gonna die Okay, so this is my brother-in-law's idea. He has been the one who's been doing all my garden stuff I'm like giving you guys a sneak peek And he was like you really should get turf because I just I've worked so hard on this yard and the grass We were just having so many issues. So I got turf. It's from Magnolia turf co I can knock them in enough.  It's a hundred percent non-toxic.  I hate the shadows right now You're not really getting the full vibe. Wow. I've actually like really missed vlogging. Obviously miss you guys But I think I've been talking to an Instagram. So Anyways, here's Fitz waiting for his close-up, but it's stunning I wish the lighting was a little bit different so you guys could like get a better vibe for it This is gonna be my cup flower garden bed and I need to do like the weed barrier right there I haven't set that up yet and this I'll probably will at some point in the vlog then okay Fitz He's just like blocking me coming over here This is the real showstopper and it's been very comforting The garden look at the progress we've made a lot of the rocks are messed up So I've got to fix that. Oh, they owe they must have thrown that there Whatever they did my turf, but anyways, I need to clean up a little bit back here My mom got me like a gardening memorial stone which like maybe saw them and like I literally anyways beautiful God that I have that but Now I have my garden all set up and I have a lot of extra Just like soil bags that I will end up using for things. I need to just bring them back I had them like Broadway back here originally guys the I had like 70 of these big bags and Like my back wasn't so much pain after doing this for an hour So I am 85 years old, but it looks a lot better. I should have cleaned up a little bit back here But again, the lighting is so bad So I hate that this is how you guys are seeing it But it's been on my to talk to if you guys haven't followed me on there But anyways, this is the garden like my backyard is just so peaceful like it feels like I should be doing yoga Out on the grass, you know in the morning like the hotel when they offer that that is what it feels like and It's just amazing. But anyways Everything gets hot you just hose it down and then you're fine like I've had I've been on turf I've done that like whatever it will I promise you get fine or be fine It also never gets hot enough to where it's dangerous for your dogs. So don't worry. I can hose it I have a little hose right there. I'll hose it off like it'll be okay. Um, but yeah, I love Love love the backyard. Okay, this is a mess out here But I actually did get all new plans look if it's always somehow in the shot I'm hosting a list of bridal shower this weekend. So this will all be cleaned up probably today It's what I have to get on to today. I got some snapdragons. They didn't have zinnias I had zinnias here the last day all year and then finally died during the frost Cannot recommend enough and then I got these two trees I cannot remember what they're called from Nicholas and Hardy, which is my new favorite store the two places that I have been able to Leave the house for And I've gone to a couple times with Nicholas and Hardy, which is like my favorite plant store in Dallas It's so amazing It's on lovers and then I've been going to needle point this which is also on lovers and that's been like the needle point Store that I go to I also love chopper all it's like the first one that I went to this one's just like a little bit closer to me And it was where Macy was going so I ended up going there But that has been if I leave the house like it's those two places that I go to So I got these trees from them and then again these that was just a good arrangement And then these are from Home Depot over here One of my really good friends I've got me a tree of life So this is a southern magnolia and then I got hydrangeas I've decided I'm gonna make the hydrangeas work around my pool because it's very shaded and I think it's gonna happen And I think it's gonna work. Also all these pots are from at home. I also got these And then I got that those flowers as well from at home But yeah, I mean I really need to clean this up like all my cacti died in the frost, which is fine I'm like not a cactus girl. So I didn't even like the landscaping on this house. Anyways Oh also back here. I Think I got this epidemic gardener. I'm assuming it's Vega garden, which is where my other beds are from which is oh my guys He's literally just like moving and getting in front Which is where my other garden beds are from that's gonna be my cocktail herb garden So I'm gonna put everything hopefully in one place so anything for like garnishing cocktails and then like herbs obviously I don't even know like why is that facing that way? I think they moved it when they are working somewhere on the house I don't really know but anyways, it's a mess back here. I was charging my leaf lower to get get down to business, you know My wagon as expected has come in handy quite a few times and yeah, it's looking good my lemon tree did die I need to buy a lemon tree that already has lemons like that's what I need because there were no lemons coming from that for like Five years and like who knows where I'm even gonna be it's weirdly warm and Dallas like it's February 22nd And it's like 80 degrees right now and normally like we like February 18th I think last year was our like ice storm and it's normally like cold into like March and April So or like a little bit not like cold but not like warm, you know So anyways actually feeling really nice out which normally I'd be like oh my god I love cold weather now I don't know if I love cold weather anymore and I have a pool so I would like to be able to start using that So I think I'm okay with it now. Okay going up to the garage. We also have more updates to come This is not finished yet for example, I have started while papering the Hosting closet Let's see look at that. It looks so good and then I hate the lights now It like makes it highlights even more that those are ugly, but I'm putting shelves on this wall for cookbooks in Certain plates and then we're gonna do a gallery wall gear of different things that I've hosted Stuff like that. It's gonna go all the way around through here And then eventually I'm gonna add a bulletin board so I can put like menus and things that I've done up there, so That's exciting. Also, we're working on menus and things for a friend of mine So stay tuned my self tan finger from my like I use like a face Spray self tanner and I wash my hands after using it like so much and it still does that so anyways Okay, this it looks like a mess and it is way messier right now Just because I have all the stuff from the top shelf of the hosting closet here But I now have a potting bench you guys will see all this I have an entire video going up like very detailed about how I started my garden and everything that we've done So I got my grandma is coming today and she made a skirt like she sewed a skirt For all the way around here, so it's gonna look a lot nicer and cleaner and we can like hide things This is all organized. It's just like looks so cluttered and ugly because it's out in the open So that's gonna be done today, so I'll show you guys that after and then here's my little seating station I will start an Amazon storefront of everything that I use I Followed a couple like gardening influencers basically And these actually have grown a ton this week like crazy But that's really where I figured everything out and then I bought some courses Like the Dallas garden school and like I've done some masterclasses and things So anyways, my grandma has really been the one helping me you grow towards the Sun So I probably do need to move these up a little bit soon I got a lot of DMs from you all saying they need to be like three to four inches above So there is low as I can get but at a certain point. I think I'll probably obviously have to raise them So this is my vegetable garden. This is my cut flower garden This is my cocktail garden, and this is my herb garden, and it's gonna be amazing I'm very excited, and I'm really excited for the skirt I'll update you guys once we have the skirt up and then also once the hosting closet is done Okay, the garage is a mess again because we had to move a bunch of stuff out of that closet to the wallpaper So ignore all the clutter, but we have the skirt Which has made the biggest difference my grandma made this We got the fabric from Joanne's and then we just got these little like $5 like rods with little brackets And it's so much cuter. We have so much Progress with the plants. I am very very happy.  Also the eggplant finally came up This has been honestly anything home anything needle-pointing anything gardening has been very therapeutic for me Like that is really what I've been doing and what's been like getting me through and giving me any sort of like I Don't even know not depression honestly, so Anyways, this is what we've been up to and the plants have definitely grown So much just in the past week, but this skirt looks so much better I Honestly think I'm gonna get all of this shelving ripped out and get actual like cabinets or something Just so it looks better and I have better storage. I could have cleaned this up before filming But I just I don't have it in me right now. So anyways It's looking a lot better Alright, we've made a lot of changes in here. I'm using my voice. It's about a week later But it looks so much better. There's obviously wallpaper now I got this wallpaper. I think on Etsy It's really cute. It's peeling stick.  It's a sample. I burned it with a candle. Don't ask. It has like a different Little tag there. Anyways, I just think it looks a lot better. I want to get a runner I'm still gonna get a Little corkboard up there so I can put all the different menus and things that I've had Throughout the years and also I think it's just gonna be helpful for planning if I'm doing like a friends party dinner It's like we can go through everything and see what they want. But anyways, it's still there It looks so much better. I am obsessed. This is like such a me-shot It's my leaf lower and a new box of Chocobos back there. Actually, I haven't unboxed those so I guess we might as well Chocobos sent me a new pair of boots Chocobos is my favorite Kaby Book brand and they have the Abbey which are their tallest boots I actually don't even have a pair of the Abbey yet, which I was really excited for I am the white calf girly and these do work for me for I get comments and questions about them all the time I love them. Oh, those are so cute. So I don't have a pair of red boots It's like classic red boots, which is crazy because like as a child. That's all I wore Or my red cowboy boots. Oh my gosh, and I even got Sophie a pair of red cowboy boots So I've got a teller that we can match now But they're beautiful. So thank you so much to Chocobos Everything I do right now feels weird like I said Okay So needle-pointing which has been my number one Helper if I feel like I'm gonna have to get anxiety attack or panic attack or I just need to feel good or whatever Like the second I start needle-pointing I it feels like I just like took a got me here something like I'm like So calm and it gives you something to work towards and I think just as like I've never even like take a time off like anything Like I just I love working. I love like having something to do. I don't know I just like don't like just sitting around sitting around actually sometimes most of the time will give me more anxiety So I was a little worried about that So thank God I was needle-pointing because I think it gave me like a weird sense of accomplishment because I did Get through a lot of projects that I'm still going to so I'm gonna show you guys It's kind of like a haul of needle-point stuff and What I've been doing I got this bag actually from Needle point this on lovers, but it's a penny Lynn bag I didn't realize that when I bought it. This is a penny Lynn canvas and I know the colors different my mom maybe changed the colors This is for her because she loves the movie the help and she would always like say this to us I don't know like you a smart you was kind of use important is from the help So I saw that I don't know what my god have to do that We're gonna make it into pillows my grandma my god I'm actually like getting her to start like a finishing needle-point business because my mom my grandma owned a Bedding and drapery company when I was a kid and I would always go in and like work for them or whatever But my grandma specialties always in pillow. So I'm like this is literally perfect So she's working on my other finished stuff that I don't have right now that I'll show you guys eventually This is one canvas. It's pretty big and I love it. I finished the white last night And then I just need to finish the border and we're done with this one. I Also got this. It's cool. What is it called again? Huggy bags. It's just a tray It's really nice to have everything or have like my scissors the thread that I'm currently using my Threader needles things like that the one that I finished somehow in 11 days guys also I know that I'm anchoring my stuff weird. I won't keep doing this This is just how I was taught originally and then I was like, why am I doing it this way? So anyways, I won't be doing that in the future But this one regularly would have taken me like at least over a year and it took me 11 days Because I would sit there and needlepoint for like six to seven hours a day because it's all I could do Like it's literally all I could do And yeah, oh, it's upside down. It does seem very dramatic for the circumstance actually nothing about this is dramatic This is literally a worst-case scenario, but I didn't even get this because I was sad I just like the design the best and I think it's so cute and I'm so proud of it. I can't believe I finished it. I Love it so much. So oh this canvas I got from a needlepoint this, but I don't know if they have any more I go in often and I haven't seen it. So maybe like call the store before you like drive all the way there I'm not really sure Penny Len sent me a gift. I love them They have such amazing canvases and it is a Cornelia Street canvas like how cute is that and then I have this little Like watch thing that what are they? I don't know why I'm forgetting what they call these But this is what I'm saying like my brain is not fully working right now You just put your needles here And then you know where they are they don't get lost because they will get lost as you're going through projects It gave me like a beginner's guide to needle pointing I have a bunch of thread here and like some scissors all the things and then another bag Stitches these project bags are everything like you need a project bag and they love the Penny Len designs ones From Casey needle point I have a couple that are gifts that I'm not gonna be able to show you guys because they don't it's her family And I don't want them to see them, but look at this It's perfect one of my friends Terrence at this to make she saw online I've also gotten everyone that I know into needle pointing and spreading like wildfire in my personal life like I It's crazy really if you guys want to get into the point follow Penny Len on TikTok because they have intro videos learn The continental stitch. It's genuinely very very easy. Maybe you'll do a video on it like a whole but you understand to needle pointing if anyone's interested talk about each interest, but It's really really not a difficult hobby to take up at all And it's so much fun And then when you buy a canvas online, just choose it kidded so then that means they pick out the threads for you To match that and then send it so anyways, this is literally amazing. Oh I forgot I have a business call 15 that's good. Okay, and they're just making sure yeah these I can't show you because they're gifts But they're cute Casey needle point is what I also really like them. I have another one you guys Have probably heard me talk about this because it's like largely that it is the inspiration behind Like the friend of mine recipe journal, which by the way guys We just a lot of room third restock like I'm so Grateful and very happy about it, but we have another restart coming this month Actually, it might be restocked by the time you guys are watching. I don't know but a lot of the illustrations are Very nostalgic towards like my childhood. I feel like all of us like had roosters in our kitchen growing up It's not really like a unique experience. Why am I doing it like this? Like roosters and hens and all those things just remind me of like my kitchen growing up It's very nostalgic to me and I found a needle point campus That's like really big I think and it's hens and it's cute and it's like more modern So my goal is to finish that eventually like it's gonna take me a long time and then frame it and put it in my kitchen So very excited about that one. Oh Guys so this one this was the one I was the most excited for I got kick What I got kit Kittridge, which was my American girl all growing up and I love American girl I still take my niece there every year and like I would go all the time Like I have to like wait for like a kid who wants to go, you know But like I could spend hours and hours there also by the way Dallas people I think that they're moving to Park Lane So like the store itself is getting better because the Galleria like store itself the vibes It's giving or just not the vibes it needs to be giving, you know So I think this will be good for them and they also have really not great cards for Their like lunches like when I took so for Christmas, I think like a couple months ago Look, we were playing the car game and it just like was not nice like at all So a friend of mine should be their partner to make their things and it's a great story I have all this like VHS it what I have all this like VHS tape of Like Maddie and I opening our American girl I was too because we've been going through like all of our like kid videos and stuff So new dream, but anyways Obsessed and I think I'm just gonna have her made into like a doll Like I was gonna put her on a pillow But just because the coloring isn't like something that I would do anyways I think that we're just gonna do that so that my it can like do a different thing And then I just make a lot more thread for other stuff. I have another Needle point book. I also got the stitches the like white the red on white text or whatever. I Don't know where that is. It's not in here at all. And I just don't believe it's gonna like This will organize on my thread, which is very exciting guys like when I you thought I was a grown up Before like this is all new levels and then Morgan Julia designs sent me the nicest package of just so much stuff Like not only did they give me so many canvases They made it they made it they kidded them all and it's like couldn't get over it We have a bathrobe if you guys know the bathroom story with me and Molly, you know A spicy margarita a hot dog I think I'm gonna get this one of Lauren because Lauren is such a hot girl dog really Oysters boys also oysters grilly this football one that I'm gonna make for my dad And then a butt side reminds me of a Nantucket speaking of Nantucket my family and I were going in April So I'm looking forward to that It's such a great place to needle point, you know, and they have a great needle pointing store So I will be going in Okay, so Another stitch book which is really helpful For those of you guys most of you I'm assuming who don't needle point There's all different kinds of stitches you can do now. I only do continental which is the easiest one Maybe eventually I will get into the other ones I'm sure I will because I just have never been able to like kind of be interested in anything as you guys can see So, yeah Then they gave me all of these bags with all the different thread for the canvases Which is so nice like that's like a lot of stuff and then this cute little project bag With a K on it and then it has like these scissors a threader Needle so cute and then more and then this product bag itself is adorable. So Yeah, that's my needle point stuff. That's really what I have Been up to I turned this entire basket into it just last night. I finally like I had So many like flower floral arrangements and like baskets of things that my friends brought me a thing pressing and tearing brought Me this basket of stuff and just like stacks and all this stuff and whatever, but I haven't fully been able to clean all of it yet And I finally did that last night and I got everything organized. So We're making positive moves in the right direction, and I'm very proud of myself also guys By the way, I am launching a website. So everything's just like in one hub and there's also gonna be like a block aspect of it I know everyone's like why would you do a blog blogs are like dead? It's an important thing to have but I am gonna do a blog post all about how to like get into needlepoint and like the actual Canvases that I would recommend the companies that I would recommend my top three are penny Len Casey needlepoint and Morgan Julia designs. They have like needlepoint canvases that are just like Q and more like Modern and whatever they also I saw I think this is a penny Len one They had a Luke like the Luke's cafe or Luke Steiner Luke's cafe He would if Luke Danes heard me say that like it would not go over. Well Luke Steiner from Gilmore girls they had that and I haven't been able to find it And I really want to do it because Gilmore girls is like my ultimate comfort Show I finished it Again in like December, but I've been kind of watching it again, and it really is the perfect needlepoint store or show So anyways Yeah, this has been immensely helpful I think it's such an amazing hobby, and it's really cute You can use these things like you can frame them you can put them on pillows you can make oh my god Guys, I saw that you can make picture frames like I need to do that You I mean there's literally so many things you can do people do like over Kleenex boxes They do little like key chains. They do passport holders I mean like there's so many things purses like so much you can do with it And I am very excited. So that's my needlepoint stuff And it has been a very very therapeutic.

Hello and welcome back to the Pride101 walkthrough. Today we're on episode 17. Yeah, so let's talk to Pantcho. The ruin of my lord and many more noble souls besides. Stonza, we must prepare for the festival of daffodils. Go and acquire four score purple spoons immediately. I will count the fruitcakes. Of course my lord, it shall be as you say. You do not know the tale. Let me tell you of the Monkey's Paw and the sad tale of my master. The Monkey's Paw is a sacred relic. The preserved hand of Saint Bonzo the Unfortunate martyred no less three times during the great reconciliation of the Holy Church. Blessed by the first banana tree, Bonzo worked many miracles before his third and final death. After his death, Bonzo's hand was fixed to the end of a golden scepter and retains miraculous powers to this day. Enimochistan, who holds it, may make three wishes which are granted by divine grace, but if their soul is not pure, their wishes will bring them despair instead of happiness. So it was with my master. Monkeyhoti, a retainer of the Lord of La Mancha, undertook a great quest to find the paw. After many trials he found the relic and brought it back to La Mancha. He was tasked to bring the paw to his lord but could not resist temptation. He made two wishes and despair followed. For his first wish, my master asked for one million bananas. He was hungry, you see. For his second wish, my lord sought power. He wished to become a Don, a lord. He wished to become Don Quixote. But this did not happen. Instead of Don Quixote, he became Don Quixote, transformed from a Monquistan into a donkey. The transformation drove him mad. But that was just the beginning of the trouble. One million bananas. This is an unimaginably rich horde. Word spread quickly that La Mancha had a priceless heap of bananas and every lord in Monquista came to claim a share of the treasure. The war that followed devastated La Mancha, leaving it empty and without a lord. Thus, you find it and my master. My lord, he still has one wish left. The paw could return him to what he was, if you can recover it. I fear your quest. It will not be easy. The paw was lost in the great battle that ravaged La Mancha. One of the Monquistador lords took it as a prize. Which one? No one knows. Or perhaps Antonio de Miranda might know. He fought here, but later laid down his arms and became a hermit. Seek him at St. Bonobo's happy. Okie dokie. That was quite a lot of dialogue there. So, yeah, we need to go and get the Monkeys poor. Last episode, if you do not remember, we... What do we do? We were going to get a... We were going to make Gortez and his rebellion strong and powerful and to do that we needed to speak to this queen who was trapped in this place. I feel the music is a bit loud. Let me turn it down. So, yeah, we had to go and save this queen who was trapped in the summer palace which is over there. So, yeah, that was great. And then what do we do? We ended the episode there, yeah. It was quite a big episode though last time. The first episode of Monquista. So, yeah, now we need to find the Golden poor or whatever it's called, the Monkeys poor to get wishes granted so that they can become the best and become the king and the queen, hopefully. But let's see what this dude wants us for, oh, lag. I also changed my mount. It's Monquista. It's nice and, like, beachy-ish. So I decided that my surfboard would be good for this place. So, yeah, anyway. What business could one as big as you have with one as small as me? La Mancha? Ah, those bananas and the things we did to take them. Horrible. The Monkeys poor? It changed hands many times that day. The historian Saavedra wrote an account of the battle. I'm sure his book notes which Lord ended up with the poor. The book has been suppressed by the crown, but the great library of San Oris in Monquista City holds a copy. Monquista City? How the places are we supposed to get in there? We're enemies of the crown. There are drains under the city from the days when it still rained in Monquista. You could use them to travel directly into the library. Wow. That sounds like... ...fuck? Maybe? So much lag, I don't know why. Okay. I will be back when I am at the Monkeeson drains. Okie dokie. We are nearly there.  That's not good. Um... Nearly made it. Oh, no. Don't attack me, plus. I am only young. No. Here we go. Boom. Sweet. We made it. Okie dokie, let's get into these drains quick. I can't even steer this thing. Monke drains, huh? This should be easy, no? Okie dokie, let's go on. One hour. We need one hour. So yeah, let us go into the drains. Been a while since we've been in drains. Just kidding, it was last episode. Common theme. Must be drains. Which is annoying. Get up to the library. There she is, yes. But how do we reach her?  Here, pull that lever. I reckon it'll open the gate. Lever. Now what? Enough yammering. Let's go this way. Maybe there's another lever. He just said lever and the one before he said lever. He needs to say the same thing each time. Otherwise it's just weird. It just... It's just really weird if he does that. See? I knew there'd be another. Like, if you want it to be... Like, you don't want it to be... It's weird. This battle is really easy. What you have to do is stand in one of those squares that are flashing. So basically, you just need to walk there. Which is quite easy. If you know what you're doing, you know... Oh yeah, I also upgraded people and decided that Bonnie just wasn't cutting the mustard. So we have Chantel back again. So yeah. Who's Chantel the god? Who wouldn't want to, you know? Oh, that was a bad idea.  Immobilized first strike. Whoa, the dodge is quite good. Nice straight beard. Wow. I still feel like this is too loud. I'm going to turn down the effects. Okay. What are you going to do this for cheekiness? Okay, let's go. Epic hit. Boom. That was nice. Nice repel boarders. This is why I love playing on my witch doctor for this. You'll just shadow step into that area and be done in round one, which is great. Whereas for any other class, it's really hard because you have to get through all of it. Yes, right beard is doing well. Bladestorm, yes, he's nearly dead. Whoo! That's good damage there from Chantel. Block from Redbeard though, that's good. Amazing. He definitely made this harder, this battle. Definitely.  Oh, there we go, sweet. Nice. Nice. Attack, no! Rumba! Let's move up there, dumb. He's scared, he's like, no. No please. All the gold. All the gold. There's the other chest here. Sweet. Can we have some more levers to find? More levers. That's a shame. E.P. disturbing an ancient evil. I didn't know spiders made a grrr sound. Midas, kill the spider once and for all. Okay, that was good. Amiga is always good. That was pretty good. That was good from Redbeard. Cheap shot. Next round I think. Oh no, first strike, that's even better. Attack, no. That's a shame. Yeah, next round should be Gigi. Okay. Boom, boom. Attack, dodge. Yes. Redbeard's about to die again. Ah, Redbeard, Redbeard, Redbeard. We need more health. Oh, so many spiders. So many spudders. Nice, there we go. Long legs is dead. Dead, dead, dead. Not C, I mean EX. C and EX are so close together. The evil spirit be gone. This place is clean. I was going to collect these things from my companions. There's another lever. A lever? We must go forward, yes? Come, we go. Okay, I'm kind of worried. I'm kind of scared going through these corridors. They're kind of tight and scary. These monkeys mean to keep us away from the next lever, Captain. We'll have to fight our way through. Okay, we will be back once we've finished this battle. Here we go. Fools and pellets. I'm going to spread space in my domain, and you will pay for your bold audacity. Get them, my soldiers. Okay, another boss. Here we go. Let us see how hard you will be. Defeat Aldo. Okay. One spirit. Move up. Adjust to you, the walls. One spirit, you. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Yes, so you. My phone is really going off. It's fine, though. Block, no. Fish eyes. Yay. Yeah, that's right. First strike.  That's rude, actually. That's really rude. And I would appreciate you never doing that again. Aldo. Actually, no, we're going to super hit you. Okay, there we go, done. He's got like 500 health. How's that fair? He's got more health than me. Nice work there. Nearly half. No, not another super. Please stop. Honestly, I don't like these people. These people are annoying. Okay, let's go. Yeah, that's right. You super me, I epic at you. Yeah, fight me. Fight me. That's actually really good. Let me get hit there from Shuntel, which is good. Oh, the heal. Didn't do much, though, so, you know. Super hit. Stop super-hitting, geez. Who are you? Like a crit lord or something? Like, honestly? Who do you think you are? Yeah, fight me. I can super too, you know. That was actually really good super. I haven't killed him really well. That dodge, though, that's great. Okay. Let me move up to there. I think that would be great. Okay, go.  Die already. Die already. Die. Okay, we need to get the others, I believe. There we go. Oh, there's more people up the back. I knew I should have stayed down there. Hello, they can come to us. Sure, you can get them. Shuntel, that's great. And you can go up there. Sweet. GG. First strike, yes! Refill borders. Block and then attack. No! Oh, mega hit. Nice mega hit there. Shuntel's putting them if it. Please die already. Die! Shuntel, you all live. Believe in yourself. Just believe, Shuntel. Just believe. Actually, we'll go for you. Done. Okay, that's good. Yes, he's dead. Oh, mega hit, no. I'm dead, no! This is rude. So rude. Who do these monkeys think they are? Like monkeys or something? Honestly, this is just racist. Yes, thank you, Shuntel. You show them. You show them. Yes, you show them. Avenge me, Shuntel. Avenge them, Romba. Yes, you dodge that. Okay, done. Go! Nearly dead. So good. Yes, they died. I need more health. I've realized now. Yeah, that's fine though. You know, we still did it. So, it could be worse. Okay. Why can't we go this way? We can. Cheeky. They want us to go all the way around. I need health though. I'm gonna hope that this health up here. Okay, next climb the ladder. Up the ladder. Na na na. This is a library, so keep your voices down. What is this? A human in my library? But don't worry. You have nothing to fear for me. The ground reviles you to hide their own embarrassment. Shame for you. Why have you come to my library? Save the history. You can get in a lot of trouble reading that book. But I suspect you know trouble well. Robert Tito has a copy of the book I've written. He would be willing to lend it to me in return for a book of verses. A book Donnie Lander has. So, take this book to Dana Lander. Take the book. The book he gives you to brother Tito. Bring me the Zadebra when all is done. Wait! I forget. You are the enemy of all Monkeester, yes? Ha! Take a mask from the cabin. Hide your face and nobody will suspect a thing. Wow. Okie dokie, so next episode or next time, whatever you want to say. We will be giving this stuff. We'll be getting the book so we can give it to another dude who can give us another book so we can get another book from who obsessed with us getting that mask. Ok. So yeah. Thank you for watching. Remember leave a like and subscribe if you want and I will see you next time. Bye!


Hey everyone, before I get into today's video, I want to remind you to enter our paper, Mario, the origami king giveaway. To enter all you gotta do is comment down below, like this video, subscribe to the channel and hit that bell icon. You do that on every single video in the month of July. That gets you an additional entry and yeah, well now it's the winner at the end of the month. Good luck. Now, the thing we're gonna talk about today is about this general opinion I've seen out there that Nintendo fans are entitled. This is something that I think has become even more prevalent the longer we go without a Nintendo Direct. And I believe the last Nintendo Direct Mini Partner Showcase thing kinda highlighted for some people why Nintendo fans seem like they're entitled because we tend to get a little bit upset that we didn't get any more announcements from Nintendo that there was only, you know, four games in the US one and like all this stuff that makes people feel like we are asking almost too much out of Nintendo and should just be respectful of what we have already. And to a point I agree that there are people that take things a little too far, they overreact, all that jazz. That's true across the board. We're seeing that today with the whole Xbox Showcase where there's some really negative takes out there that are just taking things a little bit too far. And that happens with every video game fan of any company or any game in general. So yes, there are people that do take this too far, but as one of those people that does expect more from Nintendo, I gotta disagree with this idea that I am entitled or acting entitled. I do think by the raw definition you can argue I'm entitled because I think that Nintendo owes us something. But I also don't think there's anything wrong with looking forward to things. Let me explain. I don't think we're getting a Nintendo Direct the rest of this year. Not the kind of Direct we want. A first party, jam packed, oodles of games. I think Nintendo with their own properties as they just did with Paper Mario about a month or two ago, they're just going to drop trailers for their own stuff on social media and leave it at that. And that's what they're doing the rest of this year. I don't think they're going to do any minis or any specific Nintendo Direct event to do that. I think they're going to stick with the showcases. Yes, it's going to lead to the Nintendo Direct brand kind of being lessened in its impact, but we're still going to get some game announcements from Nintendo. We're not just going to get Paper Mario and nothing the rest of the year. But I think it's okay as video game fans to expect something more from Nintendo at this point. At least what's coming next after Paper Mario because I'm looking at this coming soon page and I'm like, why shouldn't we be demanding more? So let's just take a look here at this coming soon page. You'll see here that there's these are just recent games coming out, lots of indie titles and all that. There's always indie games coming. Nothing wrong with that. All that jazz. But if you start going down this, you start to wonder, where's the Nintendo games? I'm looking here. Okay, we're in August now. Where's the Nintendo games? I'm still waiting. Nintendo, can I hear you? Okay. Now we're jumping from summer all the way up to late 2020. We're looking at September here, November, mid 2020. I'm still not seeing Nintendo games and this is page one. And then we're already down to TBD, which TBD are basically games that are announced like Bravely Default 2. That might be the next biggest Switch game if that even comes up coming this year. But it's not a Nintendo game. So we'll click on View More Games here and we'll just keep looking. I'm still not seeing anything at all from Nintendo. I'm still going, still waiting, not even something small. This is a company whose 3DS and Wii U teams are all making games for Switch and I don't see anything. It's almost as if Paper Mario came out and there's nothing else that we can look forward to. Well, at least that is until you get towards the end of the list and then you start getting into the games that were barely announced, which aren't even here. Like Metroid Prime 4, Breath of the Wild 2, not even on here because guess what? This is the coming soon section. There's nothing coming from Nintendo at this point. And the fact that there doesn't seem to be anything coming from Nintendo is exactly why I think it's OK for us as Nintendo fans to be a little bit more demanding that Nintendo does something about this. I'm completely understanding of the pandemic, COVID-19, I hope everyone's healthy and doing well and if you're not that you recover or that your family members recover and take all the necessary precautions you think you need to do to keep yourself and your family safe, I'm not here to tell you what to do with your life. But I do think that it's reasonable for a platform that is the number one selling platform every single month of this year, a platform that has probably the best-selling game of the year so far at Animal Crossing New Horizons. I think it's reasonable for us to keep asking Nintendo what's next because after Animal Crossing what's next ended up being Paper Mario. Paper Mario's are what's next. Nothing.  Nintendo is in the midst of their best sales year ever for Switch. And we've got two games. I mean, we could talk about Xenia Chronicles Definerative Edition. I guess you toss that in there as well. But the point I'm saying is that we don't know what's next. And now this isn't me panicking. I clearly think Nintendo has at least one big holiday game. I don't know what it is, but they have something. Obviously the pandemic has led to delays. But as a Nintendo fan, I think it's reasonable to be like, what's going on? And I think it's only going to get more and more frustrating as the year goes on.  Today, we just had Microsoft drop a whole bunch of news for Xbox games. And now it feels like it's Nintendo's turn. But Nintendo doesn't seem interested in playing that game. So I think it's okay for us to make demands of Nintendo to a certain extent. I don't think we should be demanding a Nintendo Direct. I understand if you are of mine that we are owed a Nintendo Direct. Our last true Nintendo Direct was back in September of 2019, so we're almost a year out. We get the demand and the desire, but I think Nintendo does owe us. I think one thing we can expect and should be demanding is that they announce something. We should always know what's coming next unless, like Wii U, Paper Mario Color Splash is it and we're getting next gen Switch next year and that's why we haven't heard anything. Remember, they did that with Wii U. Paper Mario Color Splash was it. That was like the final game released on Wii U. So now if we have Paper Mario the Origami King and that's the final game released on Switch. Okay, well then let us know about next gen I guess. But we know that's not the case. Nintendo has repeatedly stated throughout this year that they plan to have a long life for Switch and it's going to be extended more than usual. Okay, that's fine. And they should. We are in the midst of the best sales year for Switch yet. So what's next? Do you know? We know about some games that have been announced like Metroid Prime 4. Heck, you want to go all the way back to the Wii U days and talk about Pikmin 4? Back when Miyamoto was teasing that. Do we want to get into Breath of the Wild 2 that we got teased at last year's E3? Like these are some games we know exist, Bayonetta 3 announced however many years ago at this point. We know these games exist, but we don't know when they're coming. And we don't know what else Nintendo has in the works. Are we looking at a Mario Kart 9 coming up? How about on Arms 2? Are we looking at a Splatoon 3? They just started Splatfest up again and Splatoon are they doing that in anticipation of a Splatoon 3 announcement? Like I'm all for Nintendo announcing things when they're ready. I don't think we've ever hit a period in Switch's life where we don't know what's next at all. Like it's fine if we don't know what the holiday title is, but we don't even know what the next Nintendo game, then the next Nintendo published game is going to be a Switch World. The DLC for Cadence of Hyrule, we're supposed to just accept that as the next Nintendo published thing? I mean maybe they have something to do with the publishing of Shin Megami Tensei 5 in 2021, potentially a year plus away. I don't think it's unreasonable as Nintendo fans to be a little upset about all this. And I feel like this is why I don't think it's right to criticize Nintendo fans at this point for expecting more. It's not just because of what Sony and Microsoft are doing. It's because we are in the midst of the best-selling year for Switch ever and we still don't know what's coming next for Nintendo. We know we're going to probably get NBA 2K and FIFA and all that stuff from the third parties, Doom Eternal, but like when are we getting Nintendo stuff? That's the frustrating part. Where is Nintendo stuff? There's just no show. And I get, they could fix this tomorrow. They could fix this next week. They could fix it next month. We could get a massive Nintendo Direct and they could blow us all up, but we should have ever got to this point. And I think it's okay to be frustrated that we are at this point that we don't know. It felt like we were at that point when Animal Crossing came out too and then they kind of dropped the little Paper Mario stuff out there. But we shouldn't be at this point. We should know the next three games coming to Switch from Nintendo. Even if those three games aren't until 2021, we should know what they are. And maybe we do. Maybe it's Metroid Prime 4, Breath of the Wild 2, and Bayonetta 3. Maybe that is it. Maybe because those are announced games, that is it. But it seems doubtful. So I'm just trying to plead, I guess, with gaming fans out there that are really critical of Nintendo fans and even other Nintendo fans that are critical of Nintendo fans. That be understanding of why we feel entitled to knowing what's next. Because we should know. We shouldn't have to question what's the next game coming to Switch from Nintendo. Throughout the entirety, like even before, even before Switch was announced in October of 2016, we knew Breath of the Wild was going to be a launch game. We knew Just Dance was going to be a launch game. We knew two games before Switch was even announced that were going to launch in the platform. So even before Switch was fully announced as a platform, we always knew what was coming next. Here I sit, end of July of 2020, in the midst of the most popular sales year in the history of Switch. And I have no freaking idea what game we're getting next from Nintendo. And that just feels wrong, it feels dirty. Imagine that PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X were out on the market and we just got past launch and there's a whole bunch of huge sales numbers all that over the holidays and you get to January and you're like, oh, we don't know about a single game coming to the platform. A single, not even one game coming to the platform from Sony or Microsoft. Wouldn't that be insane that you don't even know about a game coming? We know technically about three announced games, but games we haven't seen. Metroid Prime 4 might as well not even exist at this point because we haven't seen it. Bayonetta 3 might as well not exist at this point because we haven't seen it. You can argue we've seen it, we saw a cutscene. We have not seen any gameplay. Without gameplay, it's like it doesn't exist. It's fine to be hyped about those games, but they don't feel close. I'd like to think they're close, but we don't have any evidence to show that they are. So in my mind, we don't know what's coming next from Nintendo on Switch and that is why we're so demanding of DirectX. It's why we're so demanding of even just like me right now. I'm demanding of just dropping trailers and announcements out there on social media because it is infuriating that we don't know what's coming. And I think it's okay to be a little bit upset about that. That being said, obviously now is a great time to catch up on your backlog. It's been a great time all of 2020 really to catch up on your backlog on Switch. I've been catching up on my 2019 backlog and I still have plenty to play. I haven't even started Fire Emblem Three Houses or Pokemon Sword and Shield. I still have plenty of stuff to fill my time. I don't have an issue with filling my gaming space. But I do have an issue with every day coming on to this YouTube platform and thinking, man, I would really love to talk about the next Nintendo game. But I don't know what it is. So then, oh, I could speculate, are we going to get to the two and three? Are we going to get this? Are we going to get that? But then I'm just taking shots in the freaking dark instead of actually talking about hyping up something coming to the platform. Heck, I even had a couple of videos on Paper Mario and I'm not even a huge Paper Mario fan. So come on, Nintendo. That being said, I am Nathan Ruffin, just from Nintendo Prime. Be sure to enter our giveaway. Let me know your thoughts on all of this and all the giant gaming newslanding. There's been a lot of cool stuff. Third party announcements are still coming to Switch. One of the big announcements that happened in the pre-show for Xbox Series X also happens to be coming to Switch. Really cool looking game. So yeah, I don't know. You guys have anything to think? Catch you guys in the next video.


The importance of coordinated efforts to protect biodiversity and public health in urban areas is increasingly recognized globally, with challenges including sustainable management of urban ecosystems, urban development planning, social cohesion and public health.

Yeah, no, I mean I was super excited going into halftime with the team they I think that we came out strong We were dominating we were moving the ball and and we had some confidence that Was was really nice So the ability to put the ball in the net and to come up with a four-goal lead in the first half was exciting So I was super pumped at halftime Yeah, so I contemplated calling a timeout Even before the first goal because I felt that the you know that that our energy was low and And there just seemed to be a little bit of a lapse You know between all of the players and the energy and I you know in hindsight I probably would have But needless to say they came out strong and we were playing a little bit back on our heels And with the four-goal lead there's no need for that So I think it's a gaining of confidence to be like, oh, you know, we own this game and Let's just keep going at them. Yeah. Yeah, they they popped into goes got scary there for a second And then I was talking to the players and I said well what what happened Because you know, this is a game of momentum swings and I said you what happened What made that the switch so that we could come back and dominate again? And I guess broke you maybe you can share what happened with that because you were part of that huddle Yeah It felt great to be able to come out like with my team we've been working really hard I mean, this is definitely the hardest preseason I've ever had And I think coming out like what coach said, this is a game of momentum in in the first half We definitely had it and then coming out in the second half They had it but then once it's another team scores like we got together energy had to be built and we did it Everyone gathered up after they score and we're like, okay Like let's go like this shouldn't be how it is. I mean we came out strong. That's how it should have lasted and so The energy just had to be built so we have a little practice ahead of us for tomorrow to prepare and then on Sunday We traveled down to St. Mary's so we're excited to their and they just have a brand-new turf field So I think this might be their first official game on it, which is pretty neat I'm don't quote me on that or can we remove that from the video? I'm not sure but I think


Here are the four types of introverts. One, social introvert. They don't feel shy or anxious in social settings. It may even enjoy them, but they feel emotionally drained if they stay out for too long. Social introverts won't share much about themselves to anyone other than their closest friends. Two, thinking introvert. They're lost in their own little world. They often find themselves daydreaming and may seem aloof to those who don't know them. Thinking introverts are also very introspective and therefore more in tune with their feelings than the average person. Three, anxious introvert. The shy introvert. Anxious introverts crave solitude. They're extremely uncomfortable in new or large social situations and analyze or ruminate on their behavior whenever they're in public. And four, restrained introvert. Are reserved, thoughtful, and don't like change. They'll go out if they've planned for it far enough in advance, but they would rather be relaxing by themselves. Binging on their favorite shows, reading, or doing yoga, they thrive in their routine and appreciate ample forewarning.
