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.

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...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
