Weekly Wrap Up- 6.19.16



Favorites 
Grace and Frankie- Still a favorite! I love this show... its really funny, I'm almost done and I'll have a review soon and then I'll watch Orange is The New Black... but this is good! I like it a lot! 

Last Year was Complicated- The new Nick Jonas CD is really great! I'll have a review on that sometime soon also... but I liked it. Even though all his songs kinda sound the same, I think there's a purpose for that. He's telling a story. Lol.

Watching Movies- Watching movies is just fun. I haven't done that in a little while, so I watched Pitch Perfect 2 and My Big Fat Greek Wedding when I was cleaning my room. I bought Deadpool really cheap at Target, so I think I'll watch that when I finish cleaning... so yeah. That's fun! 

Snippets from the week 
-Monday was my moms bday, so we went out to lunch and dinner. It was nice. We went out a lot this week too... we went out friday and yesterday... so that was good. And my grandmother took us to lunch one day this week too... so that was nice!
-I didn't do much Wednesday. On Thursday I got a lot of cleaning done in my room and that was when I watched Pitch Perfect 2 and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
-I also went to Target and out for Ice Cream on Thursday.

TV Highlights 
Grace and Frankie... Uncle Buck, which I'll have a review of soon... and I think thats it. Other than the movies I mentioned.

Noteworthy Snacks 
Blueberry oreos... review soon lol. Pink Drink. I went to a place called Coney Waffle and got a waffle ice cream. That was good. And Cheese fries from Windmill... yum. 

News and World Events 
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis announced they are expecting a 2nd baby. 

Thats all I feel like mentioning. The news this week sucked and this is a happy blog... so yeah. Just be nice to people. Do a random act of kindness for a stranger or something nice for someone. I think a lot of people get into ruts when the news is so horrible and the kindness of a stranger will show you that the world is a better place than you think.

Ohh but I do want to mention some not so great news just because I haven't heard it talked about on the news very much. Alejandro "Jano" Fuentes was shot and killed in Chicago this week. A man ordered him to get out of his car, and shot him. Fuentes was 45. This was just a week after the tragic death of Christina Grimmie.

On CBS's Sunday Morning it mentioned that since the attack in Orlando last week... there have been 207 gun-related deaths in the United States... but you know, the big problem in America is Microbeads... 


Thoughts 
I kind of went over this already, but just be kind to people. You never know whats going on. There have been a lot of people reminding me of that this week in particular. Just people I know just from Instagram or Periscope have been so kind to me this week... its just been a good week of that. So that's what I'd like to mention as my little advice of the week. 

Bye! Hope this made you smile at least! Have a happy Father's Day! Hope everyone has a nice day!

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...
