Scribbles About Life: A day in the life of Shannon

So today, I woke up around 6:45, my dog scratched on my door, I laid down with him for a little bit. I watched the news... I ranted a bit about the media's coverage of the recent shooting in South Carolina in the church. When they focus on the shooter and not the victim... that encourages other people to do shootings. If they focus on the victims its more like "ohh there are good innocent people in the world that get harmed and killed for no reason. Lets keep everyone safe." But... no. Its pretty terrible.

I stayed up for a little bit and pet my dog... he's such a good dog. I love having a dog. Its just so nice to wake up and then see a dog there and he's soft and cute and loves you. Get a dog guys! Or whatever animal you like! They're awesome. Lol. And I went back to my room for a little after that and went back to bed.

I woke up a little later, had lunch... didn't do much exciting. Watched some youtube ate a Turkey Sandwich. Didn't want to eat anything heavy because...

I WENT TO MY COUSIN'S RESTAURANT! You can read about her and her restaurant right here. We've been wanting to try it for a while, but never had a chance to go there. On her facebook page she always posts pics of her creations, and she has some really unique stuff on the menu. I highly recommend her dessert, the Cadbury Scotch Egg... best thing I ever ate.

So yeah I went there. We had a bunch of food. Lol. I got the Salmon as my main course and it had a really yummy coconut rice on the side... delicious. Soooo good! And the drinks were yummy, the dessert was yummy... everything was really good! Highly recommend.

So then we went home. Its a bit away from us, so... yeah. And I saw I got the new Entertainment weekly in the mail and the cover is the men of Magic Mike 2... and I am staring at the cover a lot... I may hang it on my wall... lol.

Now I'm watching The Tonight show, which is usually when I blog. Jim Gaffigan is on... didn't realize he had his own show coming out! Thats exciting! I never liked Jim Gaffigan that much before... now that I'm a grown up... I like him a lot better!

And now Jimmy's doing his Thank You Letters bit and I like it... so I'm gonna go!

Byeee!

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...

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...
