Weekly Wrap Up 6.17.16

Faves 
S'mores M&Ms- I've done a review on them here but I love these! I've been eating a lot of them right now... and I shouldn't be because I am trying to be helthier. They're just so good. I don't understand why no one is talking about these because they are amazing and I love them... but yeah. These are good!

Oh Yeah Disney- So I've been into disney vlogs lately... not suew why but this is just a channel I've been liking lately. The guy takes such nice videos of the park, that it looks really good. If you want to see my other favorite disney vloggers, you can look here.

Me Before You- I'm at the end of this book... and I really really like the way its going! I'm excited to do a review on this one because I have a lot of feelings about it already... we'll talk about it!

Life Scribbles
-Monday I worked out and went in the pool. I wanted to stay in the pool longer, but I felt something wet on the back of my neck and freaked out thinking it was bird poop and got out and showered.
-Monday was also the anniversary of the duel between Hamilton and Burr, so my dad and I did commemorative shots because I actually own Commemorative shot glasses of Hamilton and Burr. So that was fun!
-Tuesday I went in the pool and read Me Before You... which I'm almost done with. Even though I should be reading The Year of Yes... but I'll do that before Thursday and it will be good. I also went to the outlets and had a coconut milk white mocha at starbucks... which was gross. And I just got in a kind of bad mood at the end of the night. So yeah... thats a thing. Lol.
-Thursday I ended up feeling really really sick in the morning... didn't end up meeting with my book club and won't until next thursday... but I did end up going out to eat on Thursday... and there was good news at the beginning of the day... so I'll share that soon... and yeah.
-Friday I had Chinese food and it was awesome! Dessert at that place was good too and I don't think we've ever tried dessert from there! Its so good!
-Saturday I went to a dessert tasting with my mom and nana and it was fun... but there wasn't a lot to try. We went out to dinner after and it was so good!
-I also tried to take a nap on Saturday and my parents were talking to my neighbors and I didn't get my nap for another half hour or so... so frustrating. But then I slept for a long time, woke up with Trump yelling at me and then went back to sleep and had a dream that some guy was telling me about an awesome pan... only to find out that I fell asleep to an Infomercial...it was nice though.
TV Highlights 
I watched a sad episode of Mom. It was the one where the girl Ana Faris's character was sponsoring died. It was still a funny episode mostly, but the show does deal with the unfortunate realities of addiction as well... So that was sad.

And I watched of 2 broke girls which is a happier show.

Hercules was on this week, which is very exciting! I really love this movie, one of my favorite disney movies and I highly recommend it! Really "I highly recommend it" I'm talking about the cartoon hercules from the 90s... not something obscure and weird. You know it and love it... watch it again! Lol.

Noteworthy Snacks 
I made a really good sandwich with a tomato and some fresh mozzerella on italian bread toast with a tiny bit of balsamic vinegar...that was really good!

I also had some tasty cake cupcakes and their powdered donuts... or little debbie's powdered donuts... not sure!

And with the taste testing thing we also got a discount at the bakery, so we got some macaroons which were really really good and some cupcakes that I'm excited to try.

I had fettucini alfredo and pineapple fried rice and a really yummy chicken dish that sorta tasted like a lighter chicken marsala but with spinach (which I now love) and mozzerella cheese.


News and World Events 
As I mentioned, Monday was the anniversary of the duel between Hamilton and Burr.

I hate saying "I don't want to talk about the news this week because its sad" every week... but thats the sad state of our world today. My thoughts are with Nice, Dallas, Orlando... I'm probably forgetting places and I'm sorry.

Thoughts 
Lets end the hate. If there's someone you don't  like for whatever reason, try being nice to them because they might need it. I'm going to have to take this advice too. I'm going to continue hating things because I feel very strongly about Olives and the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... but I used to hate spinach... so it could all change.

Bye!

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...
