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!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
