Dear Gentle & Saucy Yappers,
I am a mother. I am a single mother. I have been feeling maternal instincts for my new weighted dinosaur stuffed animal. The birth certificate is blank as she does not yet have a name. If you catch a motherly vibe in my yaps going forward… this is why!
xoxo, Hailey Girl
RANKING OF THE WEEK: iPod Touch Games

R.E.P.O.R.T.
R: READING
JUST READ: The Music of the Bees: 2.5 stars (109/125 overall ranking)
Honestly it makes me sad to give a low rating to a book I had no qualms with, but it just wasn’t for me. The book was very sweet but I don’t think I was the right audience as it never got me hooked. I did learn a lot about bees though!
Favorite Quote: “Alice was deeply angry at having pretended to be someone she wasn’t for so long. Why would she do that? Just to avoid making other people uncomfortable.”
CURRENTLY READING: The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
 | Kristin Hannah has the power to make me a historical fiction girl. I have only read one of her books before and loved it so I have high hopes for my next read. |
E: EATING
Restaurant: La Lucha
 | As a seafood hater, I did something brave! The empty bowl in the photo (phone did not eat first) had shrimp and pork dumplings and I ate them! Now did I taste any shrimp? No I did not, but baby steps. My issue with seafood is the texture and smell so when you remove those elements, it’s much more likely I can enjoy it. La Lucha was another top notch Houston find though! The fried chicken may be the best I’ve had in H-town! |
P: PLAYING
Music:
 | I have some random days that I remember that I’m obsessed with Jack Harlow. His new song with Doja Cat reminded me of why I had a strong Jack Harlow phase. That man has the power to make you blush through song lyrics and that is too much power for a singular man to have! Song Recommendation: Just Us - Jack Harlow ft. Doja Cat |
Podcasts: Long Winded
 | Before even watching the Traitors, I was a Gabby Windey stan because her social media presence was iconic. Lately her podcast clips have been going viral with “hopecore” edits and after seeing a couple of those I needed no further convincing to add her podcast to my list. It is not fair for her to be so gorgeous and so damn funny at the same time! |
Television: Adolescence
 | I have soooo many feelings about this show! As soon as I saw it was a limited series about a child psychopath influenced by the incel/Andrew Tate culture… I was sat! My only critique was that I wanted more! The last episode focused on his family but I would have rather it focused on the trial. Now I see some people are saying that the story was vague and they don’t know if the kid is guilty which seems CRAZY to me after watching the show but I did want more of the story. I did love how this show called out the consequences of incel culture on young boys because it is quite terrifying. |
Movies: Heretic
 | I liked the concept of this movie about Mormon missionary girlies being stuck in a psychopath’s house but also I wanted more. A common theme this week. Maybe I’m asking for too much? Whyyy was Hugh Grant’s character so insufferable!? Was it simply because he is a man needing to spew his beliefs? I needed some context. I simply cannot imagine sharing a room with this man for more than 5 minutes so props to the girlies (although they did not have much of a choice). Rating: 7/10 |
O: OBSESSED
General: Picnic Dates
 | 2025 is the year of picnics! You heard it here first! Why!? Because I got a picnic blanket for Christmas of course. Truly there is nothing better than snacking and yapping with friends while catching some sun. The theme of the picnic was bring a dish that starts with the first letter of your name. I brought Hawaiian Ham Sliders to the function! |
Pop Culture: Chappel Roan on Call Her Daddy
 | Chappell has made the young mothers of America angry. The outrage of her saying she doesn’t know a happy young mom is crazy. I feel people are just bored and need something to be mad about. News flash: Chappell Roan does not know you personally sweetie and I love that you are a happy mother but like…. it’s just not that deep. I listened to the entire clip trying to figure out what made people sooo angry and I just could not even pretend to understand the outrage. |
R: RECOMMEND: Errands with Friends
 | Now did it work for the friend with a Costco membership to add the other girlies as her children? No, no it did not! But we didn’t need that because we all just went grocery shopping together. Our cart looked a tad crazy but it is so much more fun to run errands with your gals. Although errands are something I typically do alone, I’m never going to turn down extra friend time. |
T: TREAT: Contrast Therapy
 | Unfortunately for my bank account, I am a big fan of contrast therapy. Especially because Loyly is walking distance from my place. You cold plunge, hot tub, sauna, rinse, and repeat. I am a lover of cold things but the cold plunge was more intense than I expected. It was so cold that it felt more painful than cold. I know that sounds 0% enjoyable but the experience was actually amazing. I left feeling so relaxed and wanting to do it again. In need of someone willing to invest in my new found addiction. |
SAUCY TAKE OF THE WEEK: Don’t Become Old and Grumpy
I have always believed that you become ‘old’ the minute you stop embracing the ‘new’ popular things. A prime example is music. I hear people my age shit on ‘Tik Tok’ music and while some of the music isn’t for me there are plenty of certified bangers that become popular on Tik Tok. It gives the same energy of people hating “songs that are played on the radio” or if we want to get super old the “songs that they play on MTV.” It’s the same thing different font. Embrace the new if it’s not harming anyone. Don’t be old and grumpy!
SAUCY STORY TIME (YAPPER WRITE-INS):
Hey Divas, I am avoiding work and have time today to give part 2 of the twat bag that got engaged to someone else while we were dating so strap in (unless you're straight, then I guess just read along) ((I'm bi I can say that)). SO we left off with Kyle getting "engaged" to Jane ( I use quotes bc there was no ring and no actual proposal/wedding, so respectfully in the words of the leader of the circus show called America - FAKE NEWS). A mere 2 weeks after we were no longer dating, I went out for my sorority little's birthday. We went to a linner (late lunch, early dinner) and then went drinking in EaDo/Midtown. While enjoying one of my favorite bars, Truck Yard, I hear one of my friends say "you have to be kidding" and idk how but I just KNEW. I whipped my chunky highlighted hair so fast to ask "he's here isn't he?" She proceeds to show me a snapchat of his friend sending a video from a bar across the street. Being a lunatic, I told her to tell him we were all nearby but I made sure she included my name FIRST (again, lunatic). And because they are boys and he is dumb, they decided to come on over to have a nice beverage with some old college classmates. He should've known he would not have any peace at this yard of trucks. I went to the restroom to make sure I looked hot (duh, and I did) and came back to find the boys standing around our table. I said hi to all of them, even Kyle, and truly acted like I was excited to see all of them, except Kyle. Sadly, my little set her sights on one of his friends and because it was her birthday I didn't bat an eye at her asking if they could hang with us the rest of the evening. He then decided to try to buy me a shot, which I took and then told him to leave me alone. After striking out with me not once but 4 times, he moved ON TO MY FRIENDS. Literally every single one of them. He asked every single one of us "what we were doing after this." After each of us said no (meaner and with pizazz), he drunkenly left to go home alone while all his friends stayed to hang out with us. His roommate then proceeded to tell me that they all had been giving him grief for days about the situation because Jane was not popular with the group and I was (I mean, yeah...duh). While this story is being told, I received SEVERAL phone calls from this mf, all ending with a voicemail that he was sorry and wished things could've been different. I also received a texted SELFIE of him on his couch with his tongue out with a message that said "Good evening to you. Have a fantastic one" And surprisingly there is a third and FINAL part to this story, but you'll have to keep reading Yapple Sauce to find out (if Hailey reminds me and y’all want it)!!!!! K bye ttyl ily
