I'm doing a continuation of my, what am I calling it, my podcast marathon thing I've been on to catch up. Yeah, I traveled to Washington, got really behind. I know all of this is useless information, nobody cares, but like I'm doing five podcasts in a row today, okay? So we're gonna keep this brief. We're gonna keep this short and sweet. Today's episode is all about Sunday in Washington with my family. And, um, anyways, uh, hit that subscribe button. I'm normally here seven days a week and yeah, let's get into it. So I woke up on the couch.

Um, wait, did I? Yeah. So Friday was the family, family barbecue. So I flew in Thursday. Friday was the family barbecue I told that story already a couple podcasts ago Saturday uh I don't think I talked about Saturday yet Saturday uh but we had a baby shower for my cousin and then we went out to dinner as a family and I ate so much food on Saturday it's like I'm I feel I'm still full I'm two days home from home in San Diego and I feel like I'm still full from fucking Saturday and I ate so much cake and so many cookies at the shower because of course we had like a buffet of everything and those little pinwheel sandwich things from Costco like those little roll-ups those things you can just pound like they're so good I think they have cranberry sauce inside or something

I don't know so I ate a lot on Saturday and I ate some more we went out to dinner uh we do this every memorial day we go to our favorite restaurant as a family or one of them the one we so my family like what our thing is restaurants like we go out to dinner and we try new restaurants all the time we love you know i'm just gonna say we like fancy fucking restaurants okay we like sitting down we like being wine-denined we liked we like buying everything on the menu and like hanging out for hours at a table in a restaurant and eating and drinking so anyways the the restaurant that's actually the family favorite I I haven't been to yet it's everyone's favorite they say but like they all agreed it's their favorite except I

haven't I okay I just said it I haven't been there this is mine um anyways so Saturday I know this is this episode was supposed to be about Sunday we actually went out to dinner on Sunday night too holy shit I have a lot to cover uh so we went to Chuckin' It Manor Chuckin' It Manor in Chuckin' It Washington or Bow Washington I don't know it's on Chuckin' It Drive it's very scenic it overlooks um the San Juan San Juan San Juan Islands and Anacortes and Lake or no Samish Island I think yeah it's out there it's out there on the coast or on the peninsula what is it called the Strait of Juan de Fuca up in Washington whatever it's beautiful you get an ocean view while you eat um I go there for the bread and I think I've talked about this bread

before best bread I've ever had in my entire life like hands down you know when you have that thing from a restaurant or something your mom makes it's like there isn't anything better than this in existence. For me, it's that bread. Okay. Disappointing, uh, or it was a disappointment to know that COVID, they got an upgrade. I'm going to shit on, I'm not, I don't want to shit on this restaurant. They upgraded the building. Like they did all this, they remodeled a bunch of stuff, but like the menu, something changed because that, that bread didn't roll out the dinner bread. And, uh, we got like a sourdough, something like light instead. Anyways, the food was great I don't want to shit on this place I love this place so much but it was not I was

excited for something and it didn't come and I was like damn it but and also they had this flat bread with a dip this like chimichurri pesto green looking dip that didn't come out either so I don't know anyways I was it was little little uh bread and butter rolls that came out why am I talking about the bread in depth who cares I got a filet mignon it's called the filet filet manor oscar we all got it i think four of us got it my brother got uh scallops i think but it was so good like filet oscar is am i saying that right they have a lump of you get a lump of uh was it lobster crab on top yeah fresh i think it was crab and then the the filet and then you had mashed potatoes with like a shit ton of butter sauce all over it

asparagus on the side so good um we drink I think we split what did I get to drink I think I got chardonnay I always get chardonnay there I don't know why but I always do um we had some cake for my mom's birthday our waiter like knew us from high school which was cool he asked my sister like hey did you graduate high school in this year and does your name start with a j and it it was like so specific. It's like, Hey, just ask her, Hey, is this your name? Is this you? Hi, I was in your class, but it was like the way he said it was kind of funny. It was like, he was trying to put a puzzle together in his head and I don't know, but, um, our waiter was really cool. So anyways, like I woke up, let me speed you up to Sunday. Cause this basically we,

we had a baby shower. We went out to dinner. We had a great time. Um, between the two, I napped for like three hours. Like all of us passed out at home before we went out to dinner. so like Saturday was a chill it's like party chill party go to bed um I slept on the couch I prefer the couch at my mom's house over anything and I don't know why but I just do and I will I just sleep really good there so I woke up on the couch I was like yep a bitch ate a lot yesterday like you know when you wake up and I'm like I think I'm I'm like physically and I'm sore my my cells hurt from eating and drinking like I don't know if anyone's experienced this but I was like why does my neck hurt it's probably from sleeping on the couch Jacqueline but I was

convinced it was from all the fucking cake and shit I ate anyways um yeah I like woke up and I'm like I need to walk this off like I need to get out in the fresh air I need to like move you know I felt I just felt hungover and shitty so my mom and I walked like six miles with Jimmy um got our blood pumping did our little morning brisk walk um I don't even remember Sunday that well actually what did it's been a few days there wasn't anything big planned oh I think I saw my grandparents um I hung out at the house did we oh we were at the pool chilling um did I go to town? Did I go into town to do anything? I don't think so. I feel like we chilled at the house. Oh, I think I talked to my mom's boyfriend for a long time about the economy and crypto and

investing and shit. I was like getting his opinions and his, he was telling me all of his ideas about it all right now. And it was fun to talk to him. I think, yeah, we talked, my mom like took a nap and then we just ended up having a great talk. And then we went to dinner. that's kind of how that how Sunday went we went back to dinner oh my god I'm missing I'm missing I'm missing I'm missing it guys this is how my family is with restaurants and eating um so I wake up on the couch right and this is the morning I'm like yep I'm hungover my face was fucking doubled doubled in size I had so much food in me from the day before and uh my mom and her boyfriend were on the driveway I think they had a hotel a weekend

because it was her birthday or something they stayed at a bed and breakfast or something they rolled in the driveway they get in the house and it's like 10 a.m and he goes hey does anyone want to go get the tacos does anyone want to go get tacos and burritos at this place in bow and bow's like a little town and by where we live and I'm like waking up drinking coffee trying to get my day started trying to like you know I don't think we walked that morning now that I think about it no I didn't do shit that morning I just felt gross anyways we were all like no and then we did it anyway so then we rallied we fucking put on I don't even know what I put on I had like a lululemon zip up honestly at that point whatever fits I had my yoga pants on

a lulu zip up some tennis shoes uh we all went out for like lunch i guess and like i was i couldn't say no you throw a burrito in front of my face from an award-winning taco shop joint and i'm gonna eat it like i don't care i i just kind of it was it was bad i i don't know i shouldn't i don't give a fuck i loved it so much it was the best thing i've ever eaten in my life and they put like papaya on the side that was really good on the fish tacos and like I don't know so yeah we went to lunch on Sunday and then we went to dinner that night at an Italian place and ate fucking we ate shit tons of pasta and I had an entire tiramisu to myself basically and I didn't drink wine no ask me about my waistline this week it's uh expanded it has

expanding but when in Rome when someone takes you out to dinner you know what do you do and I don't eat like this this is the thing I don't know why I'm making this about like oh I overeat all weekend but like younger me would have been like oh my god I gotta go to the gym I gotta go work this off I gotta go fucking like kill myself and do the cardio but I feel like yeah I don't know it just takes a couple of days of like drinking a lot of water and eating healthy again to like you know feel back to normal which is not a big deal so whatever i loved it though um yeah so sunday we went to the taco place it was like an outdoor picnic picnic setup and uh the fucking the lady that worked there she's a real they them like she just completely

put the covid um what's it called fancy pants on or whatever the angsty covid rules fancy pants on and my brother approached her and I think he asked like hey where's the bathroom and he wasn't wearing a mask and she's like are you fully vaccinated and she's literally inside of a trailer thing where you ordered the tacos and he's outside within like I don't know six feet and she's like Are you fully vaccinated? That's my new thing. Like, is that illegal or absolutely terrible to say, oh, they're a real they-them? What even?

I don't know. I think I joked about that on my Q&A podcast, too. Like, what does this world need more of? And I think I said more they-thems. I shouldn't do that. That's real. people struggle out there with their identities and what their i don't know what is it gender or their their you know their pronouns and stuff and what they think of themselves as and what they

want to be deep down what they think they should they feel and yeah we should have more gentleness and empathy and kindness and caring love towards that instead of saying as a dis like oh she was a real name I mean it was written all over her tattoos basically and her short hair and her outfit I'm just saying it like it is calling a spade a spade I'm a judge I'm a judge I judge a book by its cover okay I do we all do you know you do there are trends in the way people present themselves not only how they look but how they talk and how they interact with people that kind of it's a dead giveaway and I think listening to your intuition about people because of what you're looking at and observing and hearing from them is not bad I don't I think I'm pro

uh tuning into your inner guide and Jacqueline you shouldn't judge a book by its cover you shouldn't judge people for what how they look and talk and act but like I don't know it's not that deep it's really not uh you can do whatever you want in this life like you don't have to be you don't have to literally try to make friends and get along and accept every single thing you see you don't have to do that I choose to not do that I'm not going to get converted and convinced to be a they them I don't want to be I don't want to be I don't know why I'm even on this now um i don't get it anyways so she's probably a nice person just having a bad day because it

was a busy sunday there's a lot of tourists there and honestly i think that's what the angst that covid like are you fully vaccinated where's your mask six feet buddy angst was coming from and she had a lot of tacos to make and i don't think she had i think she had like one other employee working, and she was stressed, so she, I meant they, was, fuck, where am I at, so yeah, we had the tacos, and we went out to dinner at Ciao Bella, it's a little kind of hole in the wall place, an Italian place, ran by Italians, which I appreciate, they move fast, they talk fast, they're really aggressive, when you sit down, they're like, come here, come this way, sit you down all aggressive, and like throw the menus in your face, and I like

that treatment if I'm in an Italian place I want to be yelled at and I want to feel like I'm putting them out that's how I like I like to be treated and um what did we get I got oh I got a giant Caesar salad with chicken because I had it I was fucking full of shit I said I need I need something light I need something light and steamy light and steamy I need something light and refreshing and crisp I want something cold I want a leaf I need something green I need I need it and I need a protein I need a lean protein so I had grilled Caesar salad as an entree we shared fucking this shrimp stuff yeah we got this like Italian shrimp soupy thing you dip bread in so had more bread and then what else did we get we were supposed to get a caprese salad but it never came and I think

we bitched about it for two seconds we're like oh they're really busy like oh they're you know we don't care um at this place they pour the wine all the way to the tip of the glass the brim and I appreciate that even though I didn't get wine I saw what they did for my mom and I was like damn this is the kind of place you want like they do that for everyone full fucking glasses and um what else do we eat we we shared a bolognese like we had a giant pasta bowl in the middle of the table We shared, I had some of that. It was really good. Um, and the tiramisu came out. It was about six inches by six inches deep and tall and wide and long. How do I, it's a, it was a square, maybe not that long, big. It was big. Um, I think, so I shared it with my sister. I think

she took two bites and I'm pretty sure I had the rest. We got two tiramisus for the table for four people and I basically had 90% of that one to myself and I didn't give a fuck and I ate it and it was so good it's best tiramisu I've ever had in my life and I think that's why my mom and my mom's boyfriend go go back all the time because they always get the tiramisu and they're like they try so many restaurants they try so many Italian places and they're like this is the best tiramisu that exists and so I don't know it was really good and um a bitch can eat you're hearing it today guys you're hearing it here first when I'm on vacation I'm there to eat and I do a deep this is so psychotic but like the first thing I do at my mom's house when I

roll into town is I drink the water from the tap because it's there's something about that tap water at her house like resets my system and it like tell it like helps me know that I like it's like Jacqueline you're home you're home drink the water eat the apple drink the fluoride like whatever I always like get a water and then I open every cupboard every drawer every nook I look through every nook and cranny in the freezer in the in the fridge the back room if there's like something behind the door like I found some Chex Mix and some Honey Nut Cheerios in a box next to our old deep fryer like if I didn't look there I wouldn't know I wouldn't I would not have known that was an option for as a snack while I was staying at my mom's house I like to know what I'm working

with in her kitchen and then so so it's usually fully stocked but when I first rolled into town it wasn't and the next thing I know she rolls up in her fucking Porsche with like an entire month's supply of Costco food and snacks for the weekend so then it just like kept getting stopped and then more food came in but it's my favorite thing I just love like seeing what my mom has because she always has goodies and I was just like that's I don't know I'm like literally a fat ass when I go home I'm just like I want to snack and chill on the couch and hang out and and go to restaurants and eat and it shows okay look at me now a week later I don't know why I'm doing this and having this like fat shaming body shaming conversation with myself but

I'm just having fun it's not like I said it's not that deep it's not that serious um does anyone else do that like you go to if you stay at someone's house you have to like know what the options are for snacks it's obnoxious so like I look I look through everything and it's also like well I like cooking and baking when I'm home so if I see her if I see she has certain ingredients then I know oh I can make this or whatever so so yeah what did I say so we went to dinner so we had baby shower so Saturday Sunday was baby shower nap restaurant sleep on the couch wake up tacos at the place uh nap chill Italian dinner at the restaurant that was our weekend a lot of eating and sitting and hanging out

yeah and napping kind of felt like the holidays to be honest i mean it's memorial day weekend shout out that's like a stupid way of saying it shout out to all the all those that gave their lives and what's the saying all gave some and some gave all damn well memorial day this was this was technically not this was memorial day weekend this was not memorial day sorry i feel bad i should mention something about memorial day during this episode but um i guess kamala harris kamala however you say it said enjoy the long weekend that's how she phrased memorial day weekend enjoy the long weekend there's nothing about our troops in in there or anything it's like what the fuck

um anyways i gotta do so now so sunday's done i gotta do monday tuesday wednesday read more podcasts today. Holy shit. Don't do this guys. Don't commit to seven days a week as a podcast host. Don't do it. Actually, I'm just in a phase. I'm in a funk. I'm in a phase of like getting busy distractions with other things and like not prioritizing getting this done when in real, in reality, most days it's a seamless part of my, it just, it fits in my day. I schedule it in like anything else and it's not that big of a deal to do a podcast every single day for me like I've never had an issue with it but I guess traveling and other things going on has kind of made it difficult and kind of it's been a chore having to catch up like this and

I can't wait to just be back to like once I'm fully back to what's it called once I'm up to date yeah that's the word one or phrase once I'm up to date I'll feel a lot better about all this and I'll be back in action but we're 100 days away we're about 100 days away from doing this straight for one year so I'm not gonna quit anytime soon I'm not gonna give up I like this about myself I like that I had a goal and I committed to it and I'm following through it's kind of new for me I used to suck at that and I used to get I'm so excited about something new and a new goal I had and then I get distracted by another one and I never finished the one I started and I would flip-flop and I never got good at anything and

I was like, what are my passions? What are my hobbies? I don't have any because I'm half pregnant on 10 different things at all times. Call that curiosity and ADD or whatever, but I don't know what it's actually called. Being young. I feel like when you're young, you try a lot of things and then you find something you like and you kind of stick with it. and I guess yeah no something I think's really real and true I heard Tim Dillon say this a few months ago is that he said this on a podcast he's like at some point in your 20s or whatever you have to you have to pick you realize that you have to pick something and I think once I pick something once I picked this podcast my life felt a lot more fulfilled and and like happy and

like oh I'm actually moving the needle forward or I'm making I'm like put like I have traction in my life now I'm like I'm actually getting somewhere because I'm working on one thing versus 10 things and so I think I've being decisive is a bit an issue for me and I and I being indecisive excuse me I've always struggled with like just being clear with what I want to do and sticking with it and so anyways I'm on a tangent about bullshit who cares do whatever you want you don't even have to pick one thing but like if you're feeling like you're not getting anywhere in life pick something and it feels really good to work on that one thing every day yeah and I'm and it took me like 20 some years or no not that long but most of my 20s to finally

get that concept so anyways all right hit that subscribe button I'm typically here seven days a week and yeah thanks for hanging out I hope you enjoyed this episode uh DM me your favorite food no it's like a restaurant or eating themed um no DM me if you gained weight in 2020 the average millennial this is insane I heard the average millennial gained 40 pounds that's the statistic 40 fucking pounds in 2020 I didn't gain that much not even close to 40 but goddamn so I don't know why I want to I want to know if you got fat or not fat but like you gained weight last year.
