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.

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...

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...
