Throwback Thursday: what it's like to work on Thanksgiving.

So somehow Thanksgiving became pretty much an opening act for Black Friday... And a lot of people think that's a terrible thing... And it's a little messed up, but in some ways it also makes Black Friday more like Thanksgiving. More people probably shop with their families than usual and that's always a nice thing. For the people working... From experience it isn't terrible.

Usually, the customers aren't that violent or demanding. In fact, I think the majority of people are really nice around the holidays. Sure, a lot of the grumpier customers I've had have been around the holidays... But for the most part they aren't mean or anything. They make a mess,sure but for the most part it all gets cleaned by closing, so it isn't too too bad. 

One thing I don't like is that it smells worse than any other day. Most people just had a big meal and they're stomach isn't feeling fantastic most likely... So there are farts. There is crop dusting and farts and it is stinky and terrible. And the farting etiquette is not the best in a store with no bathrooms... So there is that. 

The other thing is, I like to shop too! And you can't really if you're working. There is usually a tote bag at the mall that I couldn't get even though I was there before anyone else. And there was a special at Victoria secret where they had perfume for like $20 for that day only. I really wanted the Victoria fragrance... But of corse when I went on Saturday, they didn't have it :(. I'm hoping they do the same thing this year... Even though I don't really want the perfume as bad and I have the mini mist... I'll actually be shopping this year so I can get the deal at least. Ohh well lol. 

Anyhoo that is about it. It's a fun event I suppose lol. I'm happy to be shopping this year... But not right after I eat probably, so I won't fart at least. Lol. 

BYEEEE!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
