Weekly Wrap Up 9.11.16



Favorites 

American Gothic- That finale of American Gothic was just really really good. I did a review on it here and I loved it! It was perfect. It wasn't the most shocking pick for who the SBK accomplice was... but there were lots of twists and turns and it was just really well done. Especially the very ending in my opinion. I really loved it! 

Sisters- I just watched Sisters last night for the first time... I could easily watch it 100 times or more. It was really funny and just a good movie. Funniest movie I've seen in a while! It was so good! 

Pumpkin Spice- Just anything Pumpkin Spice gets a shout out for me this week. I mention it more in the Noteworthy Snacks section... but really Pumpkin Spice makes everything better! 



Life Scribbles
- Monday... I think I wasn't feeling so great. I was starting to feel a little better, but my stomach was hurting a little bit this week. It was also labor day... but I didn't do anything different than any other day I don't think. Lol. 
-Tuesday I was feeling a bit better, but not that much. Again... didn't do too much that day. 
-Wednesday you can read about here
-Thursday I felt better, I went out to eat and helped my mom with stuff. 
-Friday I went to lunch with my mom at a nice diner and they had pumpkin pancakes and it was really yummy. They had good bacon and breakfast potatoes there too. 

TV Highlights 
American Gothic was obviously the highlight of the week. I love it! I can't wait till next year... there needs to be a season 2! 


Noteworthy Snacks 
Pumpkin Pancakes, Pumpkin Spice Frap, Mocha Chile Frap... those little iced oatmeal cookies. There was a lot of good stuff. 

Thoughts 
Today is 9/11 and its a very sad day. I'm watching the news memorial now, last year was the first time I really got to watch it because I wasn't in school... and its an important thing to watch because over the years when they keep repeating the names and now with the museum and all the memorials for 9/11, you remember the names and the faces of the people that lost their life, which is incredibly important. Never Forget what happened and all the people involved. <3 

Clickables 
27 Times Tumblr Understood Our Obsession with HGTV - The best ones are "My ship of the year is Joanna and Chip from Fixer Uppers" because Fixer Uppers is my favorite and "Who needs porn when you have Property Brothers" because duh. 

Random Haul 
I don't always do this... but I bought a few interesting things this week. 

One thing I got was one of the new Starbucks Anniversary mugs. There was a really pretty sparkly mermaid-scale one that I regret not getting last year, so I decided to get this one I thought was cool this year. It has the mermaid and its sort of a matte print and I think it looks really cool. I had a gift card, so I used that to get it. 

I got The Tower of Terror on DVD... which was one of my favorite movies... as a kid. I'll have a Throwback Thursday of that in October... and it didn't quite make as much sense as it did when I was a kid, but I'm still happy I found it and happy I can watch it again and again again. Lol. 

And I got a halloween decoration print of a Raven from Target's Dollar Spot. I thought it was funny to put by my desk and look like I'm a dark and mysterious writer... so I think that is kind of cool.

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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
