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.

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...
