New Years Superstitions

So I did a gift giving superstitions and I thought I'd post about superstitions for the new year. Take these with a grain of salt. If you believe in them, cool... but in all seriousness they were probably just made randomly by someone.

This isn't a known thing, but I always thought that if you were asleep on New Years at midnight, you might die that year. Lol. No one told me this, this isn't a really known thing or anything... I just thought that was why you had to stay up till midnight on New Years. Now I stay up till Midnight pretty much every night... so yeah. This one is definitely fake because I made it up and know several living people that slept in on New Years... but that's just always what I assumed. Lol.

This is a Greek Superstition according to my nana... but the first person thats supposed to go into your door on New Years Day is supposed to be a man. And at my Nana's house, the first person to go into her house is always my dad... so she's happy about that.

You're supposed to bring something inside when you go outside so that you bring something in all year.

There's something called a money salad that my sister makes with Black Eyed Peas and whoever eats the most Money Salad is supposed to make the most money that year... so thats pretty cool. Its a delicious salad. On the Today show they added sausage to it too... yum!

Also Pickled Herring... weird but its supposed to be good luck.

And last but not least, don't spend money New Year's Day! Otherwise you'll be losing money all year. I don't think I ever have spent money on New Years... so thats good I suppose!

And thats it! Hope you guys are having a good New Year. I might share resolutions tomorrow... yeah! Sounds good!

Byeee!

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...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
