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!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
