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!

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...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

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...
