Weekly Wrap Up: 11/29/15 The One With The Thanksgiving Post.

Alrighty! Happy Thanksgiving weekend! Today is my sister's birthday, so Happy Birthday to her! And its also Thanksgiving week and my grandfather's birthday was on Thanksgiving, so this is a pretty big week! Hope everyone else is having a great week too! Into the favorites!

Favorites 
KFC Extra Crispy Chicken- Ohhh my god. This is so good. I got the three piece meal with the mashed potatoes and gravy and cole slaw... not a fan of the cole slaw... but damn. That was amazing. I was also starving... but it was damn good.

Glass Plus/Windex- What kind of Greek would I be if I didn't mention Windex? Lol. I was helping my mom clean this week and this worked! Not complaining there! Lol. This is the weirdest favorites ever because I kind of hated everything this week. Lol.

Thanksgiving Sandwiches- Whoever thought of these are awesome. You take a hard roll, some leftover turkey, stuffing and cranberries... and you got a bitchin lunch right there.

Not wearing a bra- This may be TMI but I took my bra off today... and I am not putting one back on... ever. I mean I'm sure I will... but I don't want to... ever. Not even joking. I would rather eat my own foot than wear a bra.

Friends- I watched all the Thanksgiving episodes of Friends and loved every minute of it. I will also watch all the Christmas episodes and rank them for Christmas. And maybe all the Valentines Day ones for Valentines Day and the Wedding One for My Sister's wedding!

What I watched 
I watched Friends. Just the Thanksgiving episodes... they're all amazing. I have a post on them!

I watched the beginning of Goldfinger, one of the first James Bond movies with Sean Connery. He was hot! He aged so badly... but he was hot! He might have been the hottest Bond... but I like Pierce Brosnan too... idk. But then my mom changed the channel to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs thinking I would like that more... I didn't want her to know that I didn't care that much about watching a cartoon... but I really liked what I saw of Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. I thought it was cute and I liked the message and the characters. It was cute.

I watched Mockingjay Part 1 at my friends house. It was exciting and good. I like the Hunger Games, but I'm not as into the movies as I once was. Idk why. I loved the first one... but I feel like they're skippable. Idk.

I watched The Goldbergs Thanksgiving episode and the Fresh Off the Boat Huangsgiving episode. Those were great. Crazy Ex Girlfriend and Jane The Virgin were really great. Crazy Ex Girlfriend got more episodes ordered. Yayyy!

The parade and the Dog Show... those were fun to watch. A few other dog shows too because there was a marathon on. It was funny because my sister's fiancé switched the channel to the dog show and we all just sat and watched thinking it was the same dog show that they showed after the parade, but it was the year before. And then they showed another dog show and I said "It's another dog show! This must be one of the layers of hell!" Because thats just too funny... but you know what... I could probably watch Dog Shows all day and be thoroughly entertained. I kind of want to become a dog show person.

And the parade... the highlights of that... People dancing stupidly in the crowd to try to get on camera... and then probably regretting that when they see the video of it at home. The Something Rotten Performance. I love that there's a float for Pirate's Booty... that one always makes me giggle. One of the Rockettes messed up while dancing... which is understandable. There was a close up of a mother and a daughter kissing on the lips for quite a long time... and when it first aired, I didn't want to say anything but when my cousin was over she was like "Did you see that mother and daughter share that elongated kiss" and I was like "YEAH! I thought that was weird before but didn't want to be the only one to say anything."

Some of The Middle I watched, some Modern Family from last year... I watched a lot while cleaning, eating, waiting to leave for bridesmaid dress shopping.


Highlights
Monday I existed.

Tuesday, I existed as well... but I also went to Starbucks I think. Maybe somewhere else? I don't remember.

Wednesday I helped my mom clean and get ready for Thanksgiving.

Thursday was Thanksgiving and I ate and... it was an eventful thanksgiving. Quite a memorable one for sure.

Friday I went to Target, and I did some online shopping... and I got my Bridesmaid dress and my mom got her Mother of the Bride Dress. My sister wanted a dress that was very pretty and very different... but it wasn't my cup of tea... and I liked another dress that my sister really liked, but it didn't have everything she wanted... so we went back with her other bridesmaid... and we both liked the dress that I liked better... and my sister agreed that dress looked prettier on us than the other one... so we got that one! I'm excited to wear it! Its something I can use again too, its really nice.

Saturday I went to the Alex and Ani store with my sister and we had friends over and celebrated her birthday, which was fun. I got a necklace and a ring from Alex and Ani and I really like them both. They have such neat jewelry its so different. I'm sure they'll be featured in an upcoming favorites... soon!

Random Haul 
With Black Friday comes the return of the Random Haul-ing.

So I got some DVDs at Target. Trainwreck on DVD and Pitch Perfect 2 and Jurassic World on Blu Ray.

And speaking of Blu Ray... they had a sale on Samsung Blu Ray Players... so I got one! I had a gift card, and it was a good deal... so I thought why not! I wanted it mostly to play netflix on, but I'll watch movies on it also. I was looking at some to get... but I thought I'd find better prices on Amazon... I may ask for the Star Wars movies on Blu Ray... I haven't seen them in forever so... yeah.

And that is everything! I'm glad I was able to do some splurging and treat-in myself. There may be more for Cyber Monday... we shall see lol. But... yeah.

Byeee!

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
