How Your Mother Met Me Review!

Alrighty so I did get to catch tonight's episode so here is a second post for today!

I was really excited about the idea of us getting to see the mother and I didn't think it was a bad episode... I just thought that there were some things I would have liked to see done differently.

I feel like there were far too many callbacks. I realize its showing how the mother and ted were so close to meeting each other several times and just barely missed... but it felt like we were just watching episodes we had seen before with a different character. I am usually a HUGE fan of callbacks, but I feel like they just did wayyy too many in this episode. I'm glad they showed the mother's quirky robot artwork and her singing breakfast food habit... but I don't think they needed to have the Naked Man, the St. Patrick's day thing was okay but I thought there would be more, they didn't need to show her talking to Lilly about Darren and picking up Marshall because we literally JUST SAW THAT A FEW WEEKS AGO! The story was already established.

I thought that her boyfriend dying the day of her birthday and her not really getting over it was a very touching story... but it kind of also felt like a cop out. The writers had to explain why this girl had never found love and it was because she wasn't looking. I would have kind of liked to see her looking the way that Ted did...

Speaking of the mother looking for love... I'm wondering if the Mother was the woman that Ted was matched up with. I thought she was since the beginning and I was kind of hoping they would answer that in this episode. I have a feeling maybe she didn't show up for the date either and that her friend maybe signed her up for the service and she was reluctant to actually go on the date.

I thought the song that she sang at the end was very lovely and very meaningful to the show. I also loved her talking to her boyfriend before breaking up with Lewis.

There was nothing horrible about the episode... but it didn't knock me out of the park the way that I thought it would. I absolutely LOVE the Mother's character and I've been loving this season so far... but this episode was not the AMAZING 200th episode I thought it would be. I don't even think I need to watch it a second time because so much of the stuff that was in the episode I had already seen in previous episodes... so it just wasn't that special. The episode last week was SOOOOO soo good that I think by stopping that storyline for this little side-story lost a little bit of momentum for me.

What did you guys think? Agree? Disagree? Lemme know!

Byeeeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
