Weekly Wrap Up- 3.16.16

Favorites 
Wicked Soundtrack- I've clearly been especially into musicals lately... and I decided I wanted to listen to the Wicked Soundtrack... and I love it. It makes me kind of weirdly emotional. I want to read the book soon, even though I know the book is different. I kind of want to see the play again too... lol. Maybe eventually. Idk I saw it when I was a teenager and I kind of want to see it as a grown up. Its got such good music and from what I remember its the best set and the best effects for a play ever. So yeah. Not the most fun musical I've ever seen... but its good.

I'm a little disappointed that the soundtrack is so short though. It only has 12 songs... what the heck? Hamilton has so many! Lol.

Something Rotten Soundtrack- This I started listening to after I got bored with Hamilton too... lol. I loveee this play. The cast is the best I've ever seen... so the soundtrack is perfect! My favorite song this week has been Right Hand Man. I sang Make an Omlette this week too... lol. Great musical!

Periscope- I've talked about this before, but I just dig periscope! I might start scoping myself because everyone makes it look so fun!


News 
Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron lost his mother this week and shared some pictures of them together on his social media.Thoughts are with him and his family this week.

Also former first lady, Nancy Reagan passed away this week. She is predeceased by her husband Ronald Reagan of corse... she is remembered for her "Just Say No" campaign against drugs. On the news today they reported on a note that Ronald Reagan once wrote to her that just said the words "I love you" over and over again. So sweet. She was 94 years old.

Lena Dunham went into surgery this week for a  ruptured Ovarian Cyst. Very scary, thoughts are with her as well.

More lighthearted news, Johnny Depp appeared on The Walking Dead this weekend. Apparently... he didn't survive the zombie apocalypse. A replica of his head... but severed was seen on the show.

Peyton Manning announced his retirement. Many speculated this after his Super Bowl win. He is the oldest quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl, or to be in a Super Bowl... so it made sense for him to retire on a high note. There has also been some controversy over sexual harassment and beliefs that he may have been taking steroids... which it seems no one was reporting about, but they did on the CBS This Morning morning show... so that makes sense.

Maria Sharapova admits to failing a drug test and she says Gob Bluth's line "I've made a huge mistake." and things like "I didn't know that was illegal" and I think she's going to get away with it by smiling and being pretty...


World Events 
There was a democratic debate this week between Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in Flint Michigan, which of corse is in a crisis recently because of water that has been contaminated with led. On Snapchat they showed residents were able to get water bottles from the red cross... there were several water distribution centers in the area. Someone said that it was like "putting a bandaid on an amputee." Which is a good metaphor for it.

There were lots of other debates and Caucuses too. Its scary and exciting to see.

I think it was the last few days of the  Paris fashion show.
Highlights 
I went to the mall on Tuesday and Wednesday... and today. Fun stuff. I went to target a lot this week too... lots of shopping.

Noteworthy Snacks 
I had Perogies from this place called Bahrs. I've had them before, they're on their Oktoberfest menu... but they're still on the menu now. I think they'll be gone soon... but I love them.

I had bread pudding this week, which was interesting and delicious.

I feel like thats all the noteworthy snacks... lol.

TV Highlights 
Quantico came back! I'm already confused and excited! Lol. For those of you that don't know... I love Quantico and its probably my favorite drama this year... but I have almost no idea whats going on in it... lol.

Most everything else was a repeat.

Thoughts 
I feel like I really tried this week and I did good. Lol. I wrote a lot, I started a new beauty review based instagram and I feel like I've been trying a lot and loving things a lot. And I've been proud of myself. I wrote a lot of blogs that will be going up in May because I've decided not to blog in May... and I've just felt very creative... So I would recommend trying this week. Lol.

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...
