Weekly Wrap Up 6.5.16

Welcome to the first Weekly Wrap up of June 2016! Hope you had a great May and a great first few days of June!



Favorites 
Pinterest- I was going to delete the Pinterest app from my phone... but then I saw a few things and I was like "ohh..." Then an hour and a half later I was pinning everything. Workouts, Organization, Writing... It was pretty fun! Pretty helpful too! Hopefully it'll help me with my instagram and blogs and I can start writing a little more too while I'm at it... seems like a good idea. 

Nifty- Along with Pinterest, I've been digging Buzzfeed's Nifty page... idk why I'm probably never going to do any of the DIY projects... but I love watching them and they have some good, easy ideas. Its fun to watch!

Me Before You- Gonna be honest... I'm 16 pages into this book... maybe... maybe less than that lol. Haven't had much time to read it this week, but its really well written. I've been liking it a lot. So this is an honorable mention that I think is worth mentioning. So I'm excited to read this.

Comedy Bang Bang- I haven't listened to this show in forever... so I'm catching up now and its just really good and funny. I've talked about this many times before, so I don't feel the need to mention it too much... but its a good show if you haven't listened to it yet, you should start! Its great! 

Snippets from the week 
-Sunday I discovered Pinterest and made a bullet journal. Lol.
- Monday I went out with my friend Cristina and we went to the beach and ate lunch and went shopping.
-I went to lunch with my mom one day this week. And that was nice.
- I went to the mall and didn't buy anything one day... so that was fun.
-Friday I celebrated National Donut Day.
-I went to target and started organizing my room and cleaning it more. That was good.
-I went to a nice restaurant and had Potato chip encrusted salmon with a dill sour cream dressing... aka I had chips and dips for dinner... but in a grown up way!


TV Highlights 
Idk if I watched much TV this week. I watched some of Marty and Maya... and I liked that. Weird that they aren't in many sketches together though. Right?


Noteworthy Snacks 
-Donuts from Broad Street Dough Co... these are the best! 
-Penne Vodka... yum.
-Tacos from Finns... yum again. Very local types of foods. 
-Ate a Scone Pony scone today... lol.

Fridays Cake pop things... those were good. 


News and World Events 
-Muhammad Ali died this Friday. I didn't know much about him or about sports... but he was really smart and funny from what they've shown of him. Idk if he has a bio... but I think that'd be cool to read. Very sad. He will be missed.
- A lot of celebrity break ups this week... Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris, Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderama... I feel like maybe there's a theme here. Its all sorta young pop stars. I'm guessing Gigi is with Wilmer, Zayn is with Taylor and Demi's with Calvin... that'd be kinda funny.
- Reports of Richard Simmons being hospitalized for Bizzare Behavior... doesn't surprise me. If you've seen the Skalar Brother's comedy special... that doesn't surprise me!
- Ben Stein endorses Donald Trump for president, despite his ignorance about the economy... just what everyone is looking for, the Ben Stein Bump!
- Apparently a former friend of OJ Simpson believes he will confess to the things he was accused of. Don't need to go into detail on that. 

Thoughts 
Planning and organizing is hard... but it can be fun... just don't expect too much. Lol. Bad advice? Idk I'm out of thoughts. 

Byeee! 
-Shannon

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...
