The Weekly Wrap Up: 1/3/16

So today is the first Sunday of the New Year, which means its also the first Weekly Wrap Up of 2016... which is cool! Happy New Year everyone... I'm sure I've posted before... but yeah. This is good.

Favorites 
The Worst Idea of All Time Podcast- So this podcast was started a while ago and it was 2 guys from New Zealand that decided to watch Grown Ups 2 every day for a year and write a podcast of it. And I listened to an episode... but I've never seen Grown Ups 2... but I did see the movie they are doing for Season 2 in which they do a movie I actually think is really a fun movie... Sex and The City 2. Arguably... more watchable and less boring than the first movie and its not a good movie by any stance... but it is watchable... if you see it one time. If you see it every day for a year... probably not. Its a fun podcast though and I'm a little obsessed with it right now.

I've also been listening to my other podcasts too like Comedy Bang Bang and How Did This Get Made... so this was just fun.Its been a podcast-y week. I like podcasts that are hard to explain to your parents and grandparents.

Iphone 6s- I don't think I mentioned this in my Weekly Wrap Up from last week... but I love my new iPhone! Its so good. I've had an iPhone 5 for years and years and I hadn't done a software update in over a year... so this is like being in the future. I feel like Kimmy Schmidt... only I wasn't kidnapped or in a cult... so I guess thats a bad comparison, but when she calls now the future... thats what it feels like for me! I like it a lot! Its great. If you're looking for a new phone... get this. lol. I have it in rose gold too which I like.

I'm not a fancy phone case person, but I love the case I have too. I don't look for anything cutesy, I just want something that does a good job of protecting my phone that will last forever and its good. I have it wrapped and with a bumper, so you can still see the rose gold. If you live or work in the city, I would recommend getting a case that looks like a book or a journal. Those are always protective... and people are dumb. You can clearly be using it as a phone and people will just think "that girls crazy, she's talking into her bible." Lol. I've also left it places and people had no idea what it was and didn't touch it... so its super useful.

Fitbit- Once Again... my Fitbit is one of my favorites. These are just so fun and so useful. I love seeing how much I walk and really trying to get to my goal steps. Its kind of a New Years Resolution to make 10,000 steps every single day for the year that I'm feeling well enough too... so far I haven't been great... but I think I'm getting there. Its more about just not sitting down all day and kind of realizing what you're doing. Its strange... but I like it.


Highlights 
I went to starbucks a few times... which was fun.

I went out with my friend for New Years Eve and that was fun too. It was quite the eventful night and I'm going to have a whole blog on that. I started writing it already and I meant to have it up for New Years... but this was just kind of a fun thing. That'll be a good blog.

New years day and the day after were a little rough. I think everything will be okay. I think everything is okay now... but really I'm not sure, not gonna talk about it, but I'm okay. And I think everything is going okay. The year is just off to a slightly rocky start.

Everything is okay now and I ate pizza yesterday. So thats good.


TV Highlights 
I watched Happy New Year's Charlie Brown. That isn't terrible, not my favorite though. They have a musical chairs song... and its not fair because Peppermint Patty is singing it and she's the one that wins... clearly rigged! Charlie Brown also fell asleep before midnight and didn't get to dance with the little red-headed girl. Also seriously Linus? HE danced with her??? She's Charlie's girl! Way to be a terrible bro!

I watched some of The Honeymooners because my grandparents and my uncle love it and they were over on New Years. I thought it was pretty funny. There was an episode where the landlord turned off the heat and the one guy had hot water bottles all around his neck. That was funny.

I watched The Worst Cooks Ever... or whatever its called. The reality show where Bobby Flay and Anne Burrell train bad cooks and try to get them to cook good. My favorite person in the world was a guy named Jamie that's a flight attendant from New York and on the bottom it said "Jamie. Flight Attendant." and then he says "Hey my name is Jamie, I'm from New York I'm a Flight Attendant." And thats it! Like... what! Lol. Possibly my favorite thing.

And I watched America's Funniest Home Videos a few times too... there were lots of marathons of it and it is just fun to watch. Its stupid and most of them are annoying... but some make me laugh. And its just been kind of fun to watch.

News 
Miss Columbia, understandably, not thrilled about not being crowned. She had a pretty good response at first but she's like... Columbia was robbed blah blah blah... idk. It sucks they should just make them both winners... but honestly all of the women were so gorgeous who cares. Lol. I agree with being proud of your country and supporting your country in these competitions especially... but yeah. I feel like they're all winner. Literally they are. There are worse things going on between the countries than this... so yeah.

Jenny McCarthy says Rob Kardashian should see it as a warning that he has diabetes... a warning as to what... who knows... but Dr. McCarthy earned her degree from Google and has probably only dressed as a doctor on a playboy cover anyway.... so I would not take her advice. Idk. I used to like her... but I didn't know she was crazy with the vaccinations.

In cool accepting of diabetes news however, American Girl Dolls have added accessories for girls with disabilities. They have diabetes kits, wheelchairs, kits for girls with cancer...girls can really personalize their dolls to be like them now. That is cool. I like that.

Skylar Astin and Anna Camp got engaged over the weekend. Love them! They are adorable! I accidentally started following him on Instagram because I got him confused with the girl from Scream Queens... Skylar Samuels? Aaron Samuels? Not sure. Lol. Its not Aaron Samuels, I'm aware.

There was something else important... didn't write it down... can't remember it now!

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...

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...
