Throwback Thursday: Games

So when its cold outside, I don't really love going out... and a lot of times I'll just stay home, listen to podcasts and play games on the computer. And There is always a bit of nostalgia because I don't play these gams often but yeah.

First off the big throwbacks are the Disney Channel Games that I pretty much grew up with as a kid. I started playing the game 625 Sandwich Stacker because at the time I'd been playing a lot of Sky Burger, which I mentioned in my January It List I believe... anyway I started playing this again... and its fun but it isn't that interesting. Its maybe a little harder than Sky Burger because you can't stack things up too high, but its also super easy to just make a really small sandwich, get a few points and then just move to the next round, so I kind of like that Sky Burger forces you to make certain kinds of burgers. Its still really fun though, its cute and it brings back fond memories.

I also played some Kim Possible games. I started off with Bueno Rufus... which is an incredibly stressful game to me. Its like you work at a fast food place and you have to get a certain number of orders ready and it gets really hard when they give you two things because they're fast and far apart. And then I think of all the customers getting the wrong order and they must be really sad... another thing i dislike about Sky Burger lol. Very sad. At least in 625 Sandwich Stacker, you're just making your own sandwich. You have some control. Lol.

Most recently I've really been liking Minion Rush. They did some updates to it recently that I wasn't really all that fond of... but i've gotten more used to it and I'm playing it quite a bit now and I've really been liking it. Its fun and addictive.

I've also been liking some word games. I started playing flower garden and text twist and now i'm playing bookwork, which is probably more well known. Idk its just fun. I always feel so stupid because my words are so short. Lol.

And I used to really like Burger Shop 2, which is the same sort of concept as Bueno Rufus, but not quite as stressful. You need to make the food for customers and sometimes they get angry and leave and sometimes they are more patient. Fun game, good to play on cold days...

And not a lot, but I have been playing some of an ipad app called "all in one solitaire, which just has a bunch of solitaire games. My favorites are Penguin, Gaps, Accordian, and Crescent. Its not easy to win any of these, but they're still fun to play.

So that is everything! Hope everyone is having a fun Throwback Thursday. Do you play any of these games? Let me know!

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 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...
