Shannon Tries to Adult Good: Progress? and Learning?

In my last "adult good" post, I mentioned what I thought a grown up was and how I could kind of get on that way to becoming a grown up... and while I haven't necessarily done any of the grown up things on the list... some of the "things grown ups shouldn't do" I have kind of stopped doing, or at least doing less of... or improving to make it more of a grown up thing to do. 

Here is my first post if you want to read it... its pretty funny. 

One thing I put on the list is to take advice from people other than Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Mindy Kaling or something along those lines... Thats stupid advice. How can I grow up good when I want to be like those ladies when I grow up? I mean I know Liz Lemon and Leslie Knope are fictional characters. That isn't who Tina or Amy are in real life... but I can still totally use their life advice. I've been reading Yes Please by Amy Poehler and I actually started keeping a little journal with some things in my life that relate to the things Amy talks about in her book. One thing I feel like isn't too personal is in her chapter "Humping Justin Timberlake" she mentions some memories of SNL and all the fun she has and what she misses about it. I compare that to things I liked about my jobs and just memories in general. Even if it is something thats boring to do, you can still remember some of the things fondly and thats nice. 

Another thing I feel like I'm making some progress on is this blog itself. I'm getting slightly more organized about it. I looked back on my older posts and saw some things I liked personally about them and I'm hopefully going to keep up with that a little more and have a blog I'm really proud of... not that I'm not proud of it now... but there are some posts I'm especially proud of and I want to make more posts like that... if that makes sense. 

And aside from that... there is no real progress. Lol. But thats okay. I mean I don't eat as many doritos as usual and I don't watch quite as many cartoons... although I still do watch Hey Arnold and Rugrats from time to time... and yeah. Lol. 

I kind of feel like my next step should be money... which I am significantly better at now that I'm not in school. If I can find ways to get money and like a job of sorts... that'd be cool tho. Right now, I'm focusing on saving and being responsible. Lol.

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...
