Okay Lexington, this one is SO fun I had to share it!!

Painting with a Twist here in Lexington is hosting their Ice Ice Booty paint night this Friday, November 13th, from 7:30 to 9:30 PM. Yes, that’s really the name haha. Think of the Vanilla Ice song and then picture a snowman with a little holiday sass who didn’t come to the North Pole to stand around. That’s the painting. Ashley is guiding the class step by step, so you’ll be laughing the whole way through and still walk out with something cute for your wall.

No Experience Needed Because They Walk You Through Every Step

I know some of you are already saying you can’t paint. You don’t need to!! They provide ALL the supplies and Ashley guides the whole thing from start to finish. Grab your besties, make it a festive date night or honestly just come solo. It’s about the laughs, not a perfect snowman.

Come Thirty Minutes Early and Make a Candle for Fifteen Dollars

This is the part that got me. If you arrive 30 minutes early, you can make your own DIY scented candle for just $15 before the painting even starts. A candle you poured yourself plus a painting you made yourself, all in one night? That’s REAL holiday gift material right there and way more meaningful than anything you’d grab off a shelf.

This Snowman Is Showing Up All Over the Country and Now It Is Our Turn

So I looked it up and this painting is on Painting with a Twist calendars all over the country right now, from Georgia to Las Vegas and it was a holiday favorite last season too. Some studios even turn it into a whole 2000s throwback music night. Now Lexington gets it’s own and y’all know how I feel about showing up for our local spots. Real people, real places, real experiences. This is exactly that.

Reserve your canvas with Painting with a Twist Lexington before the seats fill up. Anyways, if you go, I want to see those snowmen!!

Burkesville is the county seat of Cumberland County, a town the 2010 census put at 1,521 people and it’s claim to fame is that the first commercial oil well in the United States was dug three miles north of it back in 1829. Today the excitement is ribeyes. J&S Fat Daddy Meats is setting up out front of Potters Ace Hardware on Keen Street for a one day Steak & Seafood Extravaganza and I’m fixin to go see about it.

J&S Has Already Run This Same Sale In Walton And Florence

J&S describes itself as a Tennessee-based company and it’s Facebook page puts it in Maryville. Most of what it does is home delivery of steak, chicken, seafood and pork bundles. The Extravaganza is the part that travels. They’ve parked it at the Tractor Supply in Walton on an August 3 and at the Tractor Supply in Florence on a May 5 and both of those stops carried the same headline deal of 20 ribeyes for $39.99, the same 11 to 6 hours and the same rain or shine promise. So Burkesville is getting the regular show, with the price rounded up a penny.

Here Is Where They Will Be And How You Can Pay

• Date: Wednesday, November 11, 2026
• Hours posted: 11 AM to 6 PM, rain or shine
• Place: out front of Potters Ace Hardware, 228 Keen St, Burkesville, KY 42717
• Pay with: cash, credit, debit, CashApp, Zelle, Venmo or EBT
• The store itself: Ace lists Potters as open 7 AM to 7 PM on weekdays

Mind Which Clock Those Hours Are On

Burkesville keeps Central time. Drive east toward Monticello and you cross over into Eastern and Maryville, where J&S comes from, is on Eastern too. Since the listing don’t say which clock it means, I’d plan on getting there early. Nobody ever missed a sale by showing up an hour ahead.

Work The Ribeye Deal Out By The Pound

Twenty ribeyes for $40 is $2 a steak and that number tells you nothing until you know what a steak weighs. J&S hasn’t posted a weight, so I can’t tell you what theirs come to. What I can tell you is how this kind of deal has gone elsewhere. A Cincinnati TV station, WCPO, bought a $40 box of 20 at a different outfit’s parking lot tent and the chef who opened it called the steak “really small and really thin.” Folks who’ve bought similar boxes from other sellers report steaks of about 3 ounces apiece.

Here’s the sum at a couple of sizes:

• At 3 ounces each: 20 steaks is 3.75 pounds, which works out to about $10.67 a pound
• At 4 ounces each: 20 steaks is 5 pounds, which works out to $8 a pound
• For comparison: Walmart’s site lists Choice Angus ribeye at $20.97 a pound

So even a thin steak can still be cheap by the pound. It just won’t be the thick one you had in mind for the grill. The first thing I aim to ask is the weight on the box.

That same WCPO reporter got pitched $300 worth of frozen steaks before he ever got his $40 box, at that other tent. I don’t know how J&S sells, but I’d settle on what I mean to spend before I walk up. Their buy one get one on family variety bundles don’t have a price posted either, so that’s the second thing to ask.

The Rest Of The List Runs From Chicken Packs To Lobster Tail

J&S says everything is sourced and processed in the USA and that there’s a new local selection this time.

• Family variety bundles
• Steak variety bundles and prime grade steak bundles
• Chicken family packs
• Pork variety packs
• Seafood combos
• Wagyu burgers
• Shrimp, scallops and lobster tail

Their Walton and Florence stops also advertised 2 pounds of king crab legs for $40 to $45. Crab legs ain’t on the Burkesville list, so ask if you were hoping.

Veterans And First Responders Get A Discount Today

November 11 is Veterans Day and J&S lists a discount for veterans and first responders. The size of it ain’t posted and neither is what they’ll want to see, so carry your ID.

I’ll be back on here with what the box weighed and what went home in the cooler.

The name a play on All Hallow’s Eve. Wizards of the Coast been running these drafts at game stores from October 30 to November 5, so the whole thing wrap up Thursday.

A Draft Mean Everybody Build A Deck From Scratch Right There

For the ones in the comments who only ever bought packs to rip open at the kitchen table, a draft go like this. Everybody at the table open a pack, pick the one card they want and pass what left to the next person. You keep picking and passing till the packs run out and whatever pile you end up wit is what you build ya 40 card deck from. So you not walking in wit a deck already made, everybody start from zero on the same night.

Any Card Can Drop At Any Time In This Draft

Each game start wit a card called Leyline of Anticipation already on the table and it let both players cast spells like they got flash, so somebody can hit you wit something right in the middle of ya own turn. Explains the FLASH on the flyer.

The flyer also said “It’s a miracle!” and that part is a real thing too. Magic got cards wit a keyword called Miracle and if one of them the first card you draw that turn you can cast it for cheaper. Pull one of those and it might really be one. Card people gone get it, the rest of yall can just nod.

The Outer Loop Play Room Hold 150 People

They threw the grand opening for the Outer Loop spot back in September 2025 and the room in there can hold up to 150 people for tournaments and game nights. It aint only Magic either. Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana and One Piece cards on the shelves, plus video games, board games and the dice-and-character-sheet crowd got they stuff too. They buy cards as well, so if somebody kid got a binder sitting in a closet collecting dust, that might be worth a trip.

Pull up tonight and if you walk out wit that foil promo, tag the page so it get seen. Toodles.

Three Hands Up In The L Before Anybody Said Cheese

Family and friends packed in the same row passing the popcorn down like it belong to everybody and the L been up since the parking lot.

Up 56 To 35 At The Half And Bidunga Came Out Ready

No. 11 Cards came out cooking. Missed the first shot, then knocked down 10 of the next 11 and it was already 23 to 11 wit 13 minutes still left in the half. Lead got all the way up to 25 before the break and the board say 56 to 35 at the half.

Flory Bidunga had a debut yall. First game in red after coming over from Kansas and he put up 16 points, 9 rebounds and 3 steals like he been here for years. Wooley, Trimble and Shelstad was all in double figures too.

Second Half Went Cold From Three And Chattanooga Crept Back To 15

Cards was up 75 to 56 wit 5:18 left when this video got took and the building was LOUD. The jumbotron kept replaying one Chattanooga player hitting the floor too, let the man get up.

After that the shots stopped falling. 1 for 16 from three in the second half, aht aht and not one basket in the last 4:13. Chattanooga went on a 15 to 6 run and got it down to 15 wit 3:47 left and if yall was in them seats you know the feeling. Karter Knox grabbed 11 rebounds and then limped off in the last minute after a hard fall. Praying he good.

Final was 84 to 70, Cards. First W of the season and they got it at home, the fourth season opener in a row they done won and the third one under Pat Kelsey.

Been waiting months for Cards basketball to come back and they did not waste no time getting it. Somebody wake these kids up tho. Toodles.

Ok so yall gotta hear this one lul

Somebody told me Drake was coming to the city..dont ask me who cause I dont even remember now. All I know is I bought the ticket got my hair done got cute and pulled up to that building ready to see him.

Got in there…No Drake

Ok maybe he coming out later ppl be doing surprise guests all the time so I waited…Still No Drake. Whole show going whole crowd screaming and Im standing there with my arms folded like WHERE IS THIS MAN.

Then the man on stage start singing Hold On We Going Home.

Now wait…THATS DRAKE SONG. Everybody know that is Drake song. So now Im even more confused like why is you singing his song at ya own show and why these ppl know every word like it’s yours.

Cause It Is His Song

Majid Jordan. That who was on that stage the whole time. That is the voice on the hook. Not a cover not a tribute the actual man who sang it on the record and wrote it with him. Drake had the album…Majid had the song. Been like that since 2013 and I found out standing in the middle of the floor looking crazy lul.

So yes I was wrong the whole night and it was still the best night I had in a long time. Would of never bought that ticket on purpose and now it’s the one I cant stop talking about.

Still Looking For Drake Tho…Somebody Tell Him I Said What I Said.

Yall know how this go. Receipts. So here go the receipt for last night, itemized, cause somebody gone ask what it cost and what came back.

Ticket. KFC Yum! Center, President’s Suite. Yes a suite. Dont ask how. Some things stay between a woman and her plug.

Company. Two women from middle school. MIDDLE SCHOOL. Been knowing each other since before any of us could drive, and here we all are in the same suite on the same night singing the same words off key. The universe be sending me what I ask for. Did not even ask that loud.

Outfit. White tee, lashes, braids out, chains on, and a face that said we got here early and we not leaving early.

The man himself. Louisville’s own. He walked out and the whole building stood up like church when the pastor say turn to ya neighbor. Every song was somebody’s ex getting dragged and every woman in that suite was pointing at the stage like he was talking about hers. Hate to be an ex in that building last night. Hate it for them.

The surprise. Jack Harlow. JACK HARLOW. Out of nowhere, in his own city, on somebody else’s stage, and the sound that building made when he came out I will not try to describe cause I was part of it. Two Louisville men on one stage in Louisville. The city loves you. Both of yall.

Balance owed. Nothing. Not one thing. Came for a show, got a whole night that gone be told at cookouts till the grandkids tired of hearing it. We even.

Louisville stand up. 502 come up. Somebody bring me a water.

Its my birthday yall. Mine. Today. So this post is about me and if you came here for anything else, aht aht, come back tomorrow.

First. The outfit. I know. I KNOW. Yellow. Two piece. Ruffles on the top, ruffles down the split, black heels so I dont look like a whole highlighter. I put this on and walked outside and the sun hit it and I said yeah. Thats the one. Didnt even need the second option I had laying on the bed. Sorry to the second option.

Second. The hair. Braids up front, curls out the back, and I did that flip in the second picture on purpose so yall could see both sides. Dont ask me how long I sat in that chair. Long. Thats the answer.

Third. The sidewalk. Yes I took my birthday pictures on the sidewalk in front of the house. No studio, no backdrop, no lil ring light. Grass on both sides and a neighbor somewhere behind me wondering what I was doing. Let them wonder. I looked like THAT on a regular sidewalk. Imagine me somewhere nice.

Now. What I want for my birthday. Peace. A plate. Somebody else driving. And every single one of yall in my comments saying happy birthday like you mean it, not that dry “hbd” mess. Type the whole thing. I will know.

To the people who been here for me this year, yall know who yall are and I love yall. To the people who wasnt, yall know who yall are too. Toodles.

Happy birthday to me. Say it back.

Twenty six seconds of a three hour show, cause thats all my phone got before I put it down and acted right.

Yall want a recap, here go the recap, in the order it happened to my body.

0:00. Lights go red. Whole building go quiet for one second and then it dont go quiet again for the rest of the night.

0:05. Screens come on. I am in the upper level and I still felt that. Ion care how high up you sitting, when them screens light up you in it.

0:09. Fire. Real fire. On the stage. From the seats it look like a lil candle, in ya chest it feel like the building came on.

0:14. The dancers hit in all white and somebody behind me screamed like she owed them money. It was me. I screamed.

0:20. Full stage. Everybody out. Every light on. Every phone in the building up at once so it look like stars from where I was.

0:26. Phone down. Thats where the video stop and thats where the night started for real.

I am not gone lie to yall and say the upper level is the same as the floor. It aint. But the upper level got the whole picture. Floor people saw a man. I saw a show. And my feet was in sneakers the whole time so I am the one who walked out of there without limping.

Voice gone. Edges gone. Money gone. Worth every bit. If they come back through, I am going again and I am not taking nobody who gone sit down.
