Scribbles about life: January 2015

So I thought I'd try something new and a little more personal and kind of go over my thoughts, feelings and things I did this month. Sort of like a more detailed It List about things that actually happened. 

So first off, New Years. That was fun, some of my family and close family friends came over. I didn't do much New Year's Eve... But I kind of like to just stay at home then. I don't love going out in the winter, it's so cold lol. And my mom usually makes frozen appetizer types of things and they're yummy and I like that. 

 I started listening to Comedy Bang Bang the podcast a lot... Which for some reason gave me odd dreams about the guests of the show and other odd dreams... So now there are several comedians I have a weird crush on... It's funny now... But strange. Lol. 

My main goal of January was to start writing my book or work on standup or something... That didn't go well. Lol I didn't start any of that at all. I feel like I have material for standup, I have all my ideas for my book... And I'm just going to have to put that into action now... Cause that's all I can really do lol. 

I did write on this blog and my beauty blog pretty much every day. There were a couple days I missed towards the end of the month that were kind of for family and personal reasons. I would talk about that, but it isn't really my thing to talk about. Everyone in my family is fine, everything has been okay, which is all that matters. But we've had some bad luck. 2015 has gotten kind of a rocky start so far, and it's been tough. 

Ohhh I did something stupid not that long ago in January... Which wasn't that stupid actually but it was something that I knew would make me not be able to sleep for one... And I don't want to get into that, but I felt kind of strange for a day... It wasn't the best feeling in the world, but it was something I sort of needed to do. And things are kind of better because of that I suppose? Odd thing to describe. Even to look back on it I'm not fully sure I knew how I was feeling at the time. I should have wrote it down then so that I could understand it now... But that's okay. I'm happy with myself now I guess? This blog is really just for my own personal reasons, so I don't expect anyone to understand or care about things when I'm being vague. Something kind of unexpected happened after this too, which is good. Lol. 

On a lighter note, to entertain myself this month, what I did mostly was read  Instant Mom by Nia Vardalos... It's such a great book I'll probably have a review up in the next few days. I was hesitant to read it... Which is stupid because I'm such a huge fan of Nia Vardalos, but I thought it was going to mostly be a parenting book and I wanted to make sure to order it from Nia's website because I wanted to make sure the money went to the adoption charities she is giving it to... Which it all does no matter where you buy it I'm sure. And I got it personalized which is really cool. I feel like Nia Vardalos knows who I am now which is amazing. I admire her so much, I was such a big fan of her and now she tweets me back and likes my Facebook comments and she's the best person to her fans. I really admire her a lot! 

I also picked up the last book of The Princess Diaries series again... I like this book but Mia needs to listen to her friends that know her. It's just a little annoying that she doesn't get so much about so many things, and I know I probably do the same thing also... But idk. It's just a bit like I needed a break from Mia for a bit. And now I'm super into the book again, so that is good. 

And I watched a lot of tv and saw a few movies. I saw Into The Woods with my cousins... It was funny because we went the day before but my movie theater doesn't have many seats because they redid the chairs... So it's nice but it sells out fast and we went on Martin Luther King day so... It was sold out. But it was good we went to lunch and we got tickets for the next day. That was fine. And I watched a lot of Kroll Show and Comedy Bang Bang and Parks and Rec. Lol. 

I also did some shopping with one of my friends. I are a lot of pizza. One of my favorite brunch places around here closed which SUCKS so my family and I went there for the last time. I shoveled snow in the Snowpocalypse. I watched Larry Willmore's show start and I like that a lot. And I changed up this blog a little bit and my other blog a little bit... Which was another goal for the month... So this was successful overall. 

I don't even want to talk about my "I'll stop drinking soda" and "I'll lose weight and eat healthier" goals... Cause that didn't really happen... But I think I've decided on less soda... Just cause I've been so thirsty lately it's kind of terrible. 

So yeah, that is everything I may continue these just for my sake. I kind of like reflecting on things... And that is it.

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

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...
