Weekly Wrap Up-6.12.16

Favorites 

Grace and Frankie- I love this show! I just started watching Season 2 on Friday. Its so funny already but there's also a lot of heart and its just a good show. Nonstop laughs... but there are serious moments too... which I love. If it gets too serious, not my favorite... but nonstop laughs with the serious... totally my favorite! Lol. This is a pretty underrated gem of Netflix. I feel like people my age would pass it up for something else... but its so funny and so good. Marta Kauffman, who was a co-creator of friends is a co-creator on this too... so if you like Friends you should watch it! 

Coloring books- I found a coloring book at a dollar store... and I've been loving it! Its so relaxing to just color! I thought the coloring books were a gimmick... but then I tried it and I really think its nice. Some days you just have to sit down and do nothing but color. Its so much fun. And this book had some really pretty pages! I have a DIY of how to make your own coloring book... but that can get stressful and its much easier to color someone else's lol. I like having my own designs to color... but this is way easier and less stressful. 

Comedy Bang Bang- Long favorite... I think this was a favorite last week too? Not sure. I've been catching up on the podcast lately. So that's been fun, I've been really liking it.

Noteworthy Snacks

News and World Events 

This week the world went crazy over a garlic bread meme that some found offensive... I wanted to do a whole post on it... but I don't really want to get anyone upset. Lol... I'll give the short version though. There is a group called Garlic Bread Memes where people are crazy about Garlic Bread and share their love of Garlic bread by posting memes about them. Someone posted one saying that there were only 2 genders... and it was weird. I think it was meant to be satirical and not harmful, although I didn't agree with what the meme was saying. I think its the weirdest article on the internet... so yeah. There's that. 

In sad music news, Christina Grimmie from The Voice was shot and killed after a concert... Blake Shelton has commented that he is "Disgusted and heartbroken" over her death, as I'm sure we all are. There's too much senseless violence in the world it needs to stop. 

Slightly more happy news, President Obama's oldest daughter Malia graduated from High School this week. The President said he would have to wear thick sunglasses so that no one could see him crying. He also declined to speak at the graduation because he would be too emotional. Its nice to see when the president is just a regular person, just like any other dad. Sweet. 

And Muhammad Ali had his funeral this weekend. Billy Crystal spoke at it, Will Smith was there and said it was beautiful. It seemed like it was a great way to celebrate his life. 

The Queen Celebrated her 90th birthday and Princess Charlotte made her first public appearance... looking beautiful! 

Thoughts 

Life is funny and unexpected. I've had a lot of blogs scheduled for the week... but I either didn't get around to writing them, or I was inspired by other thing. For What's Up Wednesday, I literally just came up with the name and started writing. And I think it was better for that. 

Byeee!
