Off The Cuff - Balancing Work and Leisure with 2oldNOLAchicks का पूरा ट्रांसक्रिप्ट

that? Yeah, whatever works for you, I, it's who you are. Nothing wrong with that. Speaker 2: 3:50 Whatever works for you, I do remember the last vacation we went on. Speaker 1: 3:53 We went on a cruise to Key West in the Bahamas. Speaker 2: 3:54 You and Jeff. Speaker 1: 3:55 Mm-hmm With my friend Megan, the voice teacher, and her husband, and that was 20, I want to say it was either 16 or 17. Mm-hmm, and that might be the only vacation we went on. Before that I wouldn't call them vacations. We went to the NATS convention. And then what is that? Nats National Association of Teachers of Singing. Speaker 1: 4:21 Oh okay, we went with Mom Megan to that because we were selling our breathing strap, which I think I told you about, um, that we developed for classical voice students. Um, we went to promote that, uh, and then we went to, um, oh, the classical singer magazine convention the next year that's really the only times we really went on. I wouldn't even, like I said, I wouldn't call that vacation, we don't? Jeff went on a lot of vacations. He was in corporate for like 25 years. Speaker 1: 4:56 He was like you know national, you know sales manager kind of thing, vp of sales, all that kind of stuff. So he was constantly on an airplane long before I knew him, and so it's not our thing to go on vacations, you know yeah. Speaker 2: 5:16 What I don't get. This is just you know, I've talked to friends and they ask the same question. I guess because we have Facebook and Instagram and everything now, and so you see, like, what people are doing with their life. You know, they'll show the picture. This is my view for the next week and I'm like what are you talking about, girl? You just went on vacation last week, wasn't it? Like a month ago or something? Your whole family. I'm like, where the heck are they getting all this money? Speaker 1: 5:47 Yeah, that's the question. Speaker 2: 5:49 Honestly, like I know people and I'm not questioning what people do with their money you can do whatever you want but like I know people who are complaining, you know like they can't pay their bills or they couldn't pay their car note. And then I look on social media and they're in Disney World. Yeah, that's weird we just had to get away, we just needed a break. I'm like no, you just needed to pay your car note Exactly, you need money. What the heck is going on yeah. Speaker 2: 6:25 So my daughter, my youngest daughter, who's 16, brought it to my attention last year and she wasn't, she wasn't asking to go, she was just brought it to my attention and that's kind of when I started noticing like, especially since covid kind of ended, um, people going to europe. You know, yeah, and I know, and I started, you know, I started paying more attention to it and and you know, and I started, you know I started paying more attention to it and you know, news articles and stuff started coming out about it because you know my phone was listening and so therefore, it's going to give it. Speaker 1: 6:53 And she wants to talk about this, so let's give it to her. Speaker 2: 6:56 And so it is. It's a big uptick in people going to Europe. Yeah, I've noticed that it looks pretty miserable, to be honest, because they show pictures. Somebody said this is really how Greece is, Because I've always thought Greece is really beautiful when. Speaker 2: 7:11 I've seen it in movies and stuff. I'm like, wow, that would be a pretty place to go to. And they show these packed streets and crowds and crowds. It looks like Bourbon Street on Mardi Gras Day, oh, wow. And it's just all these people want going one direction, one, one, the other direction and down this one narrow street. Like, wow, that doesn't look like fun, you know, but at the same time you know that is where most of us unless you're american, indian know we all came from somewhere else, oh for sure, with our ancestors. So I think that's pretty cool that you can go and like, look at like people have found their relatives in Italy and you know France and you know that kind of thing, and you know seeing, maybe like old cemeteries and stuff where relatives are buried and that kind of thing. Yeah, and you know seeing, maybe like old cemeteries and stuff where relatives are buried and and that kind of thing. Speaker 2: 8:09 Um, I had a friend of mine she's still a friend of mine, but her father always told the story that, um, he was a duke or something and in poland, so when she was in her 60s she's in her 80s now she actually went and found because her dad always talked about this castle that he lived in, and she went and found the castle, wow, and it was way back in the woods and it was all boarded up and it was still there, wow, and there was even a painting of it that they always had in their house and she still has the painting, and so she knew what the house looked like and she went and found it. She didn't find anybody who of course him or anything. She's in her 80s, so all of those people would have been gone. But sure you know some kind of, I guess, expedition like that to europe too, if you're really interested in something like that, like you have a reason, right you know, to go. Or I think, if one of my kids were like Mom I have always wanted to go to wherever then I encourage them to go. Speaker 2: 9:29 My daughter, katie, my oldest daughter, she's quite the adventurer and again, I always think you have one thing that leads into another. She was a shy little girl growing up and then, once she got to high school and then college, she was a shy little girl growing up and then, you know, once she got to high school and then college, she was pretty outgoing. And this girl, when she was at University of New Orleans, she packed up, not only once but twice and went to Europe and one of them, I think, she stayed two weeks. It was just like on a tour kind of thing. And then the second

time she went she stayed for six weeks, and I believe, in France and just lived this big excursion, this wonderful, and I was like, oh my gosh, I just don't think I could be away from my family that long. Speaker 2: 10:21 So along comes, like a few years later she meets her husband who at the time was a lieutenant, lieutenant commander in the Navy and he was up for, you know, moving, and so they have just moved home after 10 years. But she traveled all around the country for the last 10 years and I told her, isn't it amazing that all of your trips that you went, you just took that desire and you said I'm going to go. It kind of prepared you for the life that you live. Speaker 1: 10:53 Yeah. Speaker 2: 10:55 That's awesome. Speaker 1: 10:56 Yeah, that's something I don't think I would have ever done, me neither Even as a younger person. Speaker 2: 11:04 No, no way. Speaker 1: 11:06 I'm still fascinated. Speaker 2: 11:07 And none of my other kids have done that, and I believe I'm trying to think this through I believe she's the only one that has been to Europe several times. She just came back from Saudi Arabia that's where he's stationed right now. Oh wow, and I don't want to say it wrong, but it's Bahrain is where he's stationed, and she said it's the most beautiful place that she's been to. So she just came back from there and it's just amazing to me that you know how she just prepares. She knows what to pack, she gets on the plane, she travels for 24 hours and she gets there. Wow. Speaker 1: 11:45 I'm what to pack. She gets on the plane. Speaker 2: 11:45 She travels for 24 hours and she gets there. Speaker 1: 11:46 Wow, I'm like, oh my gosh yeah, that would not be something I would want to do me neither and we have lots of volunteers that have been doing the europe thing just you know, going to trips and yeah, it's like you're right, it's like a, it's like a a thing lately, right, you know, I don't, I've never been to europe. Speaker 1: 12:06 I if, if I could maybe like, if remember, in star trek they had the transporters. If we had those, I might go to europe, if I could just transport myself there and then come right back right but um it's that plane ride? Speaker 1: 12:20 yeah, I don't want to do it and I don't want to do the whole packing hotel, I just don't. But if I were to go to europe I would love to see um germany and england, I think, but I'll never go because I'm. I want to see it, but I don't want to go. Right, does that make sense? Speaker 2: 12:40 yeah, I think I think you and I have that in common, where we like our little routine. Speaker 1: 12:46 Definitely. I'm definitely routine. So is Jeff. We're so routine-oriented and we're just homebodies, you know. Yeah, and another thing for me like I would love to go to New England in the fall right, you know, you see the pictures and it's how beautiful it is, but, honestly, like it worries me. Am I going to go and and is it going to be different than what I imagine it, and is it going to lose? You know the? Speaker 1: 13:21 I'll use the word romanticism that I have in my own brain. Yeah, does that make sense? Yeah, so that's one reason why I want to go, but I don't. Speaker 2: 13:30 Yeah. Speaker 1: 13:30 I don't want it to be different than I imagine it and I'm afraid it will be. Speaker 2: 13:34 Yeah, yeah, and I mean that could be, or it could be a place that you want to go visit every year Could be um, in seaverville and or they call it severeville, I think the way they say it and so we went because we had heard about it and everybody was teasing me because I love jolly pardon, and I've been dressed up for her like as her for halloween one year, funny. And so joey's like, hey look, you know, we're going up to West Virginia to visit my family, let's stop there. And so we had this. You know we stayed in like the family inn with red and blue and yellow doors, and you know, you, I think it's still this way at Dollywood you go in at three o'clock and you get the next day free. But it was definitely like that then and it was just such like it was our first family vacation we ever went on. And it was definitely like that then and it was just such like it was our first family vacation we ever went on and it was so wonderful, we had such good memories that it has never stopped. Speaker 2: 14:52 And so here we are, like 30-something years later, and whenever we want to feel like that family comfort or whatever, that's where we all go, yeah, and so this year I have three grandchildren now. So this year, especially the two little boys, one's four and one's almost two, you know they're going to, they're starting with that same, you know, magic feeling that we feel when we go there. Right, there's just something about going to that place that brings me a level of comfort, and so, even though people are like, do y'all ever go anywhere else, I don't want to say it's home for us, because New Orleans is home for me, because I love my city I really do. We're all into it, you know. So it's not like that, but it just brings this peacefulness that we felt there. And so we're actually leaving Saturday to go and, um, yeah, that's awesome, but as a kid no, we didn't do anything. Speaker 2: 15:58 Yeah, and the whole beach thing. I love my friends who love it, but gosh, I just can't love it. I just don't like it. Speaker 1: 16:06 You don't like the beach. No. Speaker 2: 16:07 I love the beach. No, I just don't like it. My kids don't like it. Yeah, I can remember my kids like little babies and like like they're touching the sand, because they're like, all right, we'll try the beach thing, let's try it and let's go, and they're like, when can we go home? That's funny. Well, we're here for three days. Speaker 1: 16:25 Yeah. Speaker 2: 16:27 So then we had to find the most

expensive putt-putt, golf course and go-karts and everything else, because they went to the beach for 15 minutes. Speaker 1: 16:34 Yeah yeah. And then the rest of the time we had to entertain them because they weren't going back. Yeah, they didn't like it. I love the beach, but we don't go to the beach because we, jeff and I've been to the beach I don't know maybe three times, um, because we don't want to leave the dogs that long. So if we go to the beach, we don't go for like a few days, we go for the day right because it's only three hours away to get to pensacola. Speaker 1: 16:58 But as a kid, and even as an adult, before I was married, oh man beach was my thing and my grandparents always took us because, like you're saying, you didn't go on family vacations we went. I can remember three vacations we went on as a family when I was a kid we went to um gatlinburg, we went to astroworld and the third one is not wasn't really a vacation, it was a weekend because my dad was working and he took us with him to lafayette yes, and we stayed at the Travel Lodge. Speaker 1: 17:36 But I was seven years old it was 1975, and we went to see Jaws, so that was killer. So I remember that. Speaker 2: 17:45 Yeah. Speaker 1: 17:45 But my grandparents would take. There's four grandkids and my dad's parents would take us every summer on a week vacation, usually in Mississippi, somewhere They'd rent a house. Speaker 2: 17:56 It was usually on the beach. Speaker 1: 17:58 And so. So yeah, although there's, as you know, there's quite a difference between the Mississippi beach and the Pensacola beach, right. Speaker 2: 18:07 Huge Right. Orange Beach is supposed to be beautiful too. It is. It is. Orange Beach is like. Speaker 1: 18:12 Pensacola or Destin, but I love the beach yeah. Speaker 2: 18:17 I've taken a business trip with Joey a few years back and we went to virginia and I had never like been near the ocean like that and I remember walking into the hotel room and hearing that the waves and I was like oh wow, and you could hear it through the door. But I said we have to leave the door open because I have to hear this. So I can totally understand how, like my friend Terry, she brings her boys. They're not boys, they're grown men now, but they always go every year. She never misses and she's always like Jill. I just sit out there all day and I read and I can totally get that. I can totally that. I can totally like understand, um, but, and maybe if I was, if it was just like joey and I. Speaker 2: 19:04 But when you have a lot of kids and some of them are like, come on, you know it's oh, my gosh. So I just try to find things that everybody will like and I don't, you know. Sure, it's almost impossible, but that's why we stick with what we know. We go to Dollywood and that's it. One day I did say a couple years back I'm like, why don't we go on a cruise? And then a couple of them were like well, y'all do that, I'm not going, I'm never getting on a boat, blah, blah, blah. I'm like okay, stop watching the Titanic. Okay, because I know this is where this is coming from okay, yeah, because I know this. Speaker 1: 19:40 This is where this is coming from. Yeah, so who knows, we might venture out. The cruise was, um, I don't know that we would go again on a cruise it was carnival. I mean, if we went on another cruise it would probably be. You know some other line, you know cruise line? But I have to say because I'm a water person. Right, so is jeff. It was the best part about the cruise other than being with our friends was just the like. Speaker 2: 20:07 Was just sitting and looking at the water that's all you saw, yeah for most of the time, yeah, it was water and I mean that was like serene. Speaker 1: 20:16 Oh, it was great. Yeah, water and food. Yeah, it was great. Yeah, water and food, yeah, that's what else could you need? Right and shopping. Speaker 2: 20:25 Right On the boat. Oh, okay. Speaker 1: 20:27 Yeah, they're shopping on the boat, they're shopping on the boat. Speaker 2: 20:29 Oh yeah, okay, okay. I bet it's expensive shopping on the boat. Speaker 1: 20:32 It's very expensive shopping, but shopping nonetheless. Speaker 2: 20:34 Yeah, nonetheless yeah, so yeah you might actually like it. I probably would I probably would like that. Well, you know, and as far as like, like we talked about, joey and I'll go away for like a couple of days, you know, but still, we, you know, we still have a kid in school like you know, high school that doesn't drive, and so you know. Speaker 2: 20:56 So in a couple of years, when you know we're finally not rid of our kids in our house because we're not yet, because she'll be going to college my kids aren't really going away to college people, um, but at least she'll be, you know, have a, have a car and have transportation and that kind of thing, yeah, um, and one of her siblings can come and stay with her if she's scared to stay by herself or something, or she can go stay with them. So I mean, I look forward to that and who knows, maybe Joey and I will take a vacation to Europe or something, although this man, this little country boy from West Virginia, he has absolutely no desire to do that. He doesn't even want to go to California. That was a big thing. He said I do that. Yeah, you know. He doesn't even want to go to california. Speaker 2: 21:41 Yeah, that was a big thing. He's, I'll go anywhere, I'm just not going to california. I just don't. I don't. It was something like the earthquakes or something. It was crazy. It has nothing to do with this is like 30 years ago, so I don't know. Speaker 1: 21:49 Yeah I mean, have you been to california? Speaker 2: 21:52 yeah, it's beautiful I went to san diego, like more than 30 years ago when I went to San Diego, and it was really pretty. Speaker 1: 22:00 Yeah,

it's a beautiful state. I've been a few times, a couple times Southern California and then Northern California. I can honestly say I wouldn't want to live there, but it's beautiful yeah. But I love that whole western side of the country. Well, I mean the weather that's beautiful, yeah, but I love that whole western side of the country. Speaker 2: 22:21 Well, I mean the weather, that's gorgeous. You know, I love our city, I love New Orleans, I love Louisiana, but I just the weather, oh my gosh, the humidity. The humidity is so bad and it's really. I'm complaining about it and it's really, if you think about it, basically four months out of the year, because once fall hits, it's really nice. Speaker 1: 22:44 It's not so bad. Speaker 2: 22:45 And then we have winter that are pretty mild for the most part, and then our springs are lovely, but we just happen to be in the middle of summer. So we're like oh my gosh, it's brutal, it's, brutal, it's brutal every year. Yeah, I think we should put up like we were talking about air-conditioned men. We should put up a monument to the air-conditioned men, the ones who install and repair HVAC. They are the real heroes. Speaker 1: 23:16 The real heroes of Louisiana the south, or of Louisiana the south west or the southeast. Yeah, I was just going to say something and now it just completely left my brain, which is not unusual, Dang it. Speaker 2: 23:36 Oh well, yeah, that's okay. Speaker 1: 23:38 You're old but you're hot. It's in the name. Oh, thank you, that's much appreciated. So you just made an impact on my life. Speaker 2: 23:48 I know you made an impact on my life too, yeah, so anyway, Anyway on that note, vacations, you know, know, looking forward to it. Speaker 2: 24:07 Um, you know my sister uh used to be. You know we call each other when we leave the first day. You know we'd be texting each other. You can do it. You can do it because she was just like me. She was working all the time and stuff. So when she did, like we're going on vacation, we're going on vacation, but both of us knew each other so well that we knew, like that first hour, like being on the road or about to get on the plane or something like that, we'd have to like send encouraging words, that's hilarious. Speaker 1: 24:32 You can relax, you can have fun. You have it in you to do this. Isn't that crazy? That is crazy so. Speaker 2: 24:39 But then once I leave like once I leave, I have fun, yeah, once I. You know like I accept it in my heart. Speaker 1: 24:46 Yeah, yeah, you know, and I'm sure that's hard. Speaker 2: 24:50 Yeah, it is. When you've been raised to just your value in life is work. Yeah, for sure. It's very hard to relax and just have a good time. Yeah, for sure it's very hard to relax and just have a good time. Yep, mm-hmm. Speaker 1: 25:02 Exactly, yeah, yeah, so anyway, this is good. Yeah, vacations, vacations are a good thing, jeff

says, because we live. You've been to the house. Speaker 2: 25:10 Mm-hmm. Speaker 1: 25:10 And we have the big pond in the back we like to call it a lake Mm-hmm. And Jeff says you know, when I was in corporate making tons of money that I didn't know him. Then obviously he says you know, I would pay a lot of money to go on vacation for a week with this view, and so that's one reason why he's like I don't need to go anywhere. Yeah, I stay right here. Yeah, I stay right here. Speaker 2: 25:39 Yeah, I mean, I always look at movies and say, oh my gosh, if I had that backyard. Speaker 2: 25:45 Yeah, that would be so great. So I'll like set up little chairs in my backyard and make everything really pretty. Go to Home Depot, buy some plants. I'm like man, this is a vacation in itself. And then I go sit back there and then, like 5 o'clock hits and the mosquitoes start biting me. So I get the citronella plants and the candles and everything else and they're still eating me alive and I'm like, oh my gosh. Only in the movies, I guess. Speaker 2: 26:11 Yeah, it's not real life Now, in the spring or fall, yeah, I mean it's nice, but then I get cold. Speaker 1: 26:20 You. It's nice, but then I get cold. You can't please me. Have you seen that show? Buying the View? No, oh man, I've watched every episode. It's only a couple of seasons, I think. But these people, they give them three options of properties with these amazing views, and it's phenomenal. I'm talking about people who have millions of dollars to pay for a house or condo yeah, you know it's on. Speaker 2: 26:46 Uh, I want to say it was on netflix maybe yeah, you know, I do want to, before we go, talk a little bit about, um, because I went through this for so many, many years of Joey and I really struggling financially and wouldn't even be able to think of, you know, taking all these kids on a vacation or something like that. And you know, if you're in that situation, you have to like take little like mini brain vacations. You know whether it be you know the kids. I'm not saying like look, my kids never had a bad time, so they were all like crazy, but at some point they were like playing. You know they were all in their room or, um, whatever, and then joey and I would, you know, like watch a movie or you know, sometimes they watch them with us and me just trying to like quiet my mind. Speaker 2: 27:43 You know, each day, and so you do have to give yourself like little breaks, like that, sure, and not like build it all up and say if I only could go on vacation, you know you have to give yourself those kind of little breaks. Now I don't, you know, again, I'm weird, because I don't like the beach and I really don't like going to get mani pedis, although all of my kids, the girls, love it. Um, I don't, um, but if that's something that you can afford and that makes you feel like, okay, I can get away for a few minutes, then that's something that you can

afford and that makes you feel like, okay, I can get away for a few minutes, then that's a little teeny, tiny vacation for you. Yeah, even if it's just a couple of hours, or if you can go to the movies. You know, oh sure, and you're like, wow, I have a couple of hours, Even if you just went by yourself and you just give yourself a little break. Speaker 2: 28:38 Yeah, and that's not even always possible. Sometimes your only break is when you put your head on the pillow at night. Right, and that is. You know, a lot of people are going through that and a lot of people have been through that. So don't base, you know, your life based on, like, what you see on social media, definitely, because that might be their life right now, but it may have not been what it was and it may not be what it is, and you don't wish any bad on any people, but when you know somebody got their car repoed last month and you see them in Disney World, things are not going too well, exactly. Speaker 2: 29:20 Use common sense about this. But do try, even when you're really financially and you're working all the time, just to try to get ahead and you know just struggling, you know that. Try just in your mind. I can remember sometimes it got so bad it was literally just on my way home from work that I had that little vacation break, sure, like some kind of music on or some kind of talk show on radio or something like that that I would just let my mind not think about the kids and not think about work or anything else, just focus on whatever they were talking about Exactly, exactly. Speaker 1: 30:03 It makes me think of remember that commercial Calgon Take Me Away. Speaker 2: 30:07 Yes, and I think that's why they made it oh yeah, I'm sure and made them billions and billions of dollars, definitely. Because it was telling you giving you something. Oh wow, I could do that Exactly. Speaker 1: 30:21 Calvon's 99 cents yeah exactly, yeah, nowadays it would probably be $10 a box. I don't even think they make it anymore, do you think? Speaker 2: 30:29 I don't know I don't know. I mean, they have so many bubble baths now. Speaker 1: 30:32 Yeah. Speaker 2: 30:33 I don't know. Speaker 1: 30:41 That's something I'd take a bubble bath every night, and that's exactly what you're talking about it's like time, just by myself, to just, like you know, think about nothing basically. Or you know, I don't have to think about work, I don't have to, and it's like you know just a few minutes. Yeah, but it really it makes a difference, yeah it does you know? It really does. Speaker 2: 31:02 Yeah, I do the same thing. Oh my God, we finally have something in common. Speaker 1: 31:09 Music and bubble baths. I mean, the show's over, that's all we got. Speaker 2: 31:18 Finally found the product goal, but yeah definitely. That's a very good thing. Speaker 1: 31:28 Yeah, I don't know why anybody wouldn't want to do that. You do it one time and it's like, oh man, where has this been all? Speaker 2: 31:33 my life. This is really funny, but when I was a little kid. I don't know about you, but I'm not even sure if they still make this, mr Bubble. Speaker 1: 31:42 Yes, Mr Bubble. Speaker 2: 31:43 So they used to advertise about Mr Bubble and I'm sure the recipe for it has changed, but I remember when it came out and they were like you recipe for it has changed, but I remember when it came out and they were like you can have fun in the bathtub and it cleans your bathtub too. Oh great, because I remember looking at the tub when I was a kid and, like you know however much the water came up, the tub would be spotless. And then, above that you know it was, and I was like, look at that, it cleaned the bathtub too. And then as an adult I thought, damn what was in? Speaker 1: 32:17 Mr Bubble? Yeah, exactly. Speaker 2: 32:19 Exactly. Oh my gosh, it was like some strong chemicals in that. Speaker 1: 32:24 Clearly. Speaker 2: 32:25 Yeah, yeah, but we just used dishwashing liquid most of the time in our bubble bath when we were growing up, and my kids probably did too. I don't know, yeah, I don't know what they do. They put bubble bath in my mom's pool one time. Oh, that's hilarious. No, I'm sorry, just washing liquid, that's. And she came home and the pool was like filled with bubbles, overflowing, and she's like calling me jill, come and see what they get. Yeah, and I'm like, oh my gosh, of course they did. Speaker 1: 32:49 That's so funny. Do you remember? That reminds me so. Do you remember the mardi gras fountain in new orleans?
