people kids pickles it was a lot yeah pickles flying everywhere yep Stephanie is it was a different breed um so I don't know people were making comments about Tom Brady commenting on the other game that he was commenting on some people said he did a really great job I think Mari was just being very kind everybody else said that you know there's definitely room for improvement you don't just walk into announcing and just be the best announcer there ever was even if you're Tom Brady it's a different place right yeah on the field off the field and now you're doing an interview like this it's

complain oh that is a celebration of life I was celebrating uh Nate said he did all right it was his first game he was a little nervous just needs to get better reactions in the game and needs to criticize the players like reactions like well he needs to come up with a catchphrase or you know a way of doing things that's how you do it every announcer's got a style right yeah every person has a way of delivering things true like uh the uh soccer ones they go go for they can and I'm like oh it's going to be like two minute one right so like think about uh soccer game in which somebody's never announced before and they're kind of flat and boring and they're just kind of getting comfortable with even making calls out loud to everybody without being criticized I understand right it's just a he's got to find his style he's got to find his flow let him go it's not him it's I know it's definitely him it's not you it's it's us I'll be teaching all of the advanced students over at uh Cap Cod

there's a new show on Netflix it's called the perfect couple okay it's got Nicole Kidman it's got um who else is in there leev shriber and it was filmed here on the cape oh I didn't know that so it was filmed in chadam pretending to be n Tucket oh my God I have to watch this now you absolutely do because it's so bad and I don't know if it's trying to have Nicole Kidman be Ellen hilderbrand or whatever it is but it's like this murder mystery oh my God I I haven't really finished it but it's about this family the perfect family and the perfect couple even though everything about their life is less than perfect and all of the drama that happens when they get together for this wedding um so it's it's so cheesy and bad but it's good and I can't take my myself away from it but every time I put it on it makes me fall asleep so I'm like halfway through the third episode and that I've had to rewatch four times yeah because I keep falling asleep so now it's my good now it's my fall asleep show Ah that's perfect does anybody have a fall asleep show because this is my new one I have a fall asleep game oh yeah it's this survivor.io game and you just go around like killing things and when

thing she's caring for yeah yeah right put it in the van and go south yeah cuz that sounds super fun when you're in Southern California with the six Lane highways wondering where where do we go now yeah I don't think there's a strategies there I was out there when the hills were burning I felt like somewhere near Dana Point and it was actually very very terrifying yeah to sit there and drive on the highway while you're watching things burn in the distance you're like oh I don't think I should be driving near this yeah doesn't sound like fun uh that's why like living here no alligators no forest fires yep so far so good yep but I mean they said the hurricane season it looks like hell it do it really does look like you're driving into hell it does it's scary well at least you got the cat so good luck to you Don I'll be thinking of you you look fabulous by the way C important yeah but she's been working she's been working at we all have I have to go to the gym today they they made

was not stressed out at all about it but the amount of phone calls I've gotten from my regular doctor from the colonoscopy doctor from the hospital scheduling all of these things they've now put me in a situation where I'm like should I be worried about this they seem very worried about all of the prep and all of the involvement they make it I think you should watch a video I don't think want to watch a video I do not think I want to know what's happening I think you should and then you'll be like oh it's not too bad am I going to lose weight I feel like the prep is going to make me lose some

12 hours later and have to go to work at night yeah I'm like in pain because I've sat like this all day yeah yeah so I made myself get up Deb from um Alton farms at the farmers market gave me a bunch of beautiful produce well the only problem is it's only me Cody and Cliff now so I'm not cooking for a million people so I'm like what am I going to do with four pounds of Basil so I made pesto yesterday oh nice right and I did all kinds of different ones fresh ones Frozen ones I made like little capsules so I can pull it out and throw it into a sauce if I want to yeah like the ticktockers

Nantucket this weekend I was not invited to that wedding unfortunately no did you see any beautiful people on the boat uh it was really full was it yeah but I don't know if that's because it was the weekend but it was mostly coming home over both both ways uh I was on the Highline and oh my God the steamship too so going over in the Highline it was super packed and um it it was kind of hard to find a seat found a seat and I just kind of stayed there and then coming back we came back on the steam ship and something happened to the Sewer in the steam ship so it was kind of rough coming back we love you steamship this is the last week that we've got some Steamship Authority passes and we really we know we know that you're working hard to make sure everybody has a great experience but that problem you cannot fix that problem sometimes no sometimes it's just the people that are aboard your ship that you cannot account for so it's like a weekend of banging weddings that's right that's what happened somebody ruined that toilet man no nothing worse than being on the boat like that no have you experienced it it's pretty awful because you have nowhere to run nowhere to go nowhere to

right now I'm curious because I need to get into something I haven't finished the other 87 things maybe I'll start something new nothing has grabbed me to make me want to read it lately yeah it's tough I'm not a good reader I'd like to listen to the Audi Books Okay my husband loves audio books yeah and fact when we were driving Lily to college he made me listen to this Ben Franklin book yeah that sounds great being Ben FR amazing right it was like what am I listening to and our poor j1's I was dropping them off in Boston I'm like they must think we're insane yeah they're like this patriotic right yeah right it was like the full whole dirty sorted detail life of Ben Franklin God from the Mistresses to the girlfriends to invention to his you know writing and his farmer Almanac and stealing other people's stuff and wow I mean he was he was like a cowboy that was a deep dive right oh it really was and I'm just sitting here and I'm like what this is my life this is my life I drive around with my husband we listen to Ben Franklin books on tape that's amazing when did this happen for me good for you I mean I guess I was learning but yeah I mean you learned something now you know more about Ben Franklin than the average Joe there you go like why though all the things you didn't need to know about Ben Franklin just asked me yeah she said there's nothing wrong with audio books unless they're about Ben Franklin thank you thank you very much um god of the woods that's what you're reading right now Jen all right checking it out I'll ask you about it in a month you would

we've got the girly girl parts walk that is happening this Saturday in hyanis our Centerville rather I'm GNA be their host oh okay see that's the one I was going to invite you but now it's a walk it's not a run anymore right so you can't walk it because you'll be working it right never mind but I'll be there for you I'll support you yeah but it's a you go Cindy how how am I supposed to die internally trying to finish a 5K in under 40 minutes why oh so you have like a structured goal of a 5k right now yeah okay yeah yeah I've I've laid off the cardio I feel like I did plenty of cardio in June so I feel like it's good for the year yeah in June I did 22,000 steps a day for uh three and a half weeks oh so I feel like I did all of the cardio for the rest of the year yeah yeah you should be checked out even my phone was like what's wrong what happened to you like why somebody steal your phone something bad is happening right now you're not doing the things yeah you were this person before come back to it saraphina is reading I was a teenage slasher great for spooky season reading okay that's how I feel after Disney right you did all of your cardio for the year you don't have to do it again why is it that when we go on vacation we feel the need to see and do everything you're about to go on vacation yeah I don't know uh on my vacation I usually just like to not do anything which is the opposite you're going to a topless Resort for your vacation oh it's not all topless there is a topless area where you can okay yeah and if you take your bottoms you get taken away we saw it one year believe it or not so you've been to you're revisiting this top top optional Resort okay yeah they have the food is great uh they have uh awesome DJ there is always a party there's always something to do like volleyball doesn't have to be topless no but there is an area where you can if you want to tan okay topless and there's no discrimination so this lady decided that she wanted to really tan Y and then the resort people were like hey you can't do that you need you got to have bottoms on yeah you need to you you need to put those on you can keep those off and she was like No And they were like go to your room so they sent her to her room oh okay so they didn't throw her out they just sent her to her room yeah yeah they're like yeah you had too much tequila you need to go you need to go take a nap ma'am and oh and there are wheelchairs too because it's uh allinclusive and and I mean tequila can be dangerous so there's an all-inclusive little wheelchair that it says I party too much and they will pick you up and bring you to your room so there people in the wheelchair like I don't think I've ever experienced in my many years here on Earth a vacation such as this I think you should go and this is a place that you have are revisiting this is a third time this is how much you love this place it's amazing the food is just so good I don't know if I would live through a vacation like this so I'll be honest the first three days you go in and you go in with energy and like oh yeah we're going to go to the dance party there's always a theme every night and we um we go to the dance and and there are different people that they bring costumes like people that repeat customers they bring custumes and really yeah so they're prepared for this an event for them correct and then there are um shows every night so there's a theme for the show they do the show and then there is a dance party until like 2 am and um if there's so many repeat people so the first three nights you're like woo party and then the fourth night I'm like I just want to go home right and the fifth day I'm like where are my dogs I'm wondering if they're thinking about me are my dogs missing me I know I'm like I wondering if Luffy's thinking about me right now he's probably sleeping oh my gosh it's always about tequila Cindy saraphina says Jen yes you your cardio is done check that off I can all I can imagine is someone who's had too much to drink topless getting wheeled into their room right yeah it's a very visual vacation for me it is it is you you see some stuff but they they keep it orderly you know there was uh the first time that we went there the first night um because Jared found it of course and uh there was this guy trying to fight security and I'm like oh my God this this huge American guy who thought like he was being rude and and they were like hey you need to relax and he started pushing through and like he thought that I'm this big but big guy there were like five tiny Mexican guys on top of him in seconds and they dragged them out all right so this is Cancun this is Cancun okay yeah so there is none of that they didn't allow it I thought it was like you

and partners so I connect homeowners with good contractors and I've gotten some really good reviews I'm really happy about that yeah and you've really connected with habitat too and you're going to start she really wants to swing a hammer I really do I think I will be really good at um shingling I I did that in high school I took construction Tech in high school yeah I did it for years bad I did it for two years and in the middle of the winter with three sweaters on we're we're just fixing the Lifeguard shed at the beach and it's it's just so cold and my friend uh Blanca joined construction tech class because I I took it the first year and I was like this is amazing I love everything about it and she was like I'm gonna take it with you and I'm like are you sure you don't want to take Ceramics and she's like no no no I'll do it with you we're in the middle of the winter shingling onet shingling the shed shivering and covered head to toe just a little I poking out this this uh guy

me this was fun and I'm like you're not having fun I'm having a great time yeah Cindy's version of fun is just a little bit different than everybody else's yeah I I was having a great time so I always been interested in construction and and uh the process of it and U being a homeowner and having a butcher bathroom renovation years ago with contractors that it was awful so I I don't want that for anybody and I started my company this year but it's been in my head for years so when it comes to inness I tend to give homeowners two to three options yeah and it's based on budget and and looks like yeah we can achieve this look with your budget or you know maybe we can do a little bit more here and yeah it's more but this is your forever home and you know there's yeah there's a conversation to be had like what are your priorities we can always scale back well I feel like everybody is so different I'm one of those people like I will wait for the right piece I'll wait for the right thing you know I know I'm going to see it wherever it is because I'm I'm a recycler I'm a reuser so I'll wait for to go to the habitat store and be like that's the sink I've been waiting for so I finally have the sink I've been waiting for but I don't have the the vanity that goes along with it so the sink I've been waiting for has been sitting on my piano for a year while I'm waiting for the right vanity to go along with it oh I can get your vanity I can design one for you I am well that's I I've never realized that you could do that you know what I mean yeah I'm always like Cliff you can whip that up for me but his queue has gotten really long with all the projects I have waiting for him so maybe I need to learn to just do this for myself like Cindy I need to get out there in the winter and shingle some roofs shingle some roofs yes and do that so where do people find you if they want to connect with you and use your services um you can go to cesp partners.com so the letter cdesign partners.com and my phone number is at the bottom you can also fill out the form and whatever project you have in mind whether that's design or anything exterior I have uh very good guys who I vetted and they're licensed insured they're ready to go so I've heard a lot of people complain that they make appointments with h contractors and they don't show up yeah it's such a waste of time like you know time is valuable yeah absolutely I've got my um my solar guy coming today and then I've got my tree guy coming this week also Cindy immediately had recommendations and they called me right away and made appointments with me so thank you for that um but also you've been getting tons of great reviews which is really nice it's like I know I'm doing my job right and well uh but when you get other people to say that out loud sometimes it's really nice to hear and be validated oh my God it made my day it made my week I think it made my month like vacation top Place vacation nothing compared to this review get out of here that that was everything so thankful that's it when when you've got a satisfied customer and somebody that is like wow you really saved all of my pain points and you delivered what you said you were gonna that's great that just nothing but better than that yeah I did it yeah yeah that's that's what I strive for to make it seamless easy you know I know it can be stressful it can be a lot um right now we're talking to a lady who wanted a renovation not a renovation an expansion to her home yeah and the first three guys that said were going to show up didn't show up yeah so she was hesitant when I said you know well I'll come over and then she was like are you going to be there and I'm like yeah no I'll be there and I I'll bring my guy who specializes in this and we'll have a conversation and she was just she couldn't believe it that we were there that's awesome I was like my God is it that like that bad she's like yeah three people they didn't show up and they're not from Cape so they want to move permanently to Cape make this their forever home and it's important to them that we have a lot of bait and switch on the internet now where people have either a local phone number and then that's forwarded to a bigger company that outsources these jobs there's a lot of weirdness that goes along When selecting a lot of contractors and you've been hearing in the news Dave says I shingled when it was 12 degrees out yes I shingled never so there Dave knows the fun yeah no that that does not seem fun to me holding cold Frozen nails he wasn't no not at all uh but yeah like the stress of it all and it's not like little cheap projects you know these are I saved my lifelong savings for this and I now need to make this repair or I need to have this done in a timely fashion because sometimes projects like this do not move that quickly they don't and and it it's your money everybody works so hard for it and you know I I understand being um being so hesitant because when jar and I were brand new homeowners and we got we got this house the bathroom on the second floor needed to be done and I found this company and and they made me believe that they were all that in a bag of chips y they took her money they didn't show up for six months and then they would send random guys to do random things one bathroom it's a small bathroom took almost a year seriously yeah so this is what sparked you to have your your network of people absolutely yeah I I didn't want that stress for anybody and the products that are in there are nothing of what we picked it was just somebody showed up installed something they left and they would come back Weeks Later install something and leave and that's so Random I would try to get in touch with the with the owner and they were like oh yeah no this is what we're doing like um it it was never whatever they said it's never what they did right and now we are with out of money and the bathroom is not something that we wanted it it's not functional I have to redo it again I'm sure there are a million stories like that with many contractors and other people we hired a painter one time and he did not do the colors that we wanted him to do he's like pick out all the colors we pick out all the colors and then he was like no I had a lot of this so we're gonna paint this Navajo what the hell is nav I don't want that yeah I wanted just regular white there no we have PL but it's because he had a ton of leftover paint from another job the thing yeah and then decided that that's the color it was going to be because he wanted it that way and I was like you've got to be kidding me right now it was very annoying yeah that's that's another thing that bothers me too and this comes from from working in showroom is that I had customers that would come in and say oh I I want this and I would show them the product I'm like okay you want a c threshold shower because you know they're Aging in place this is their forever home yeah yeah but my contractor wants to do this this and that and I'm like yeah but that doesn't make sense with what you want what do you want well I want this like okay give them this information tell them what you want know what they want to sell because it makes me feel like maybe they have extras of this or maybe um maybe they can get a good deal on it so they're trying to sell you on what they want I think as a customer you should get what you want what you need it's so important well I love the fact that that you do that and once again give everybody your website uh cesp partners.com let let us see oh every perfect so perfect and you've been going to Boston business women's meetings you've been popping up all over the place like really you're you're jumping in this all in all in yes uh Jared told me that I had H too many ideas and to stick to one so I'm sticking to this one thanks a lot supportive husband he is he's so supportive

nap first yeah that's fine we'll let you take a nap but um yeah the Boston businesswoman uh has been a great group I've joined a lot of local groups here too and I found really good Connections in the Boston business womans that share passions like I do so um there's this lady Roxy who is um developing a magazine for disability and their goal is to get more information out there for people with disability like where where do you find this where did you find Grands products Etc like websites and and playing it out I think it's pretty cool and then there's this other lady um who is developing her name is Susan who is developing units for uh lowincome housing for uh women who have uh gone through a divorce that have no support and may need like um classes or you know to get back out there

really good support group um I love that they're now here on the cape they've got a Cape Cod chapter it's not just Boston and uh who's running that uh Kim that's it yes Kim maran's fabulous people
