What's Up Wednesday: 9.7.16

Today I woke up in an oddly good mood... maybe not "oddly" but I was kind of well rested even though I didn't get a lot of sleep and just in a good mood... so that was good. I did sleep in a little bit after I initially woke up... but yeah.

For Lunch I had some yummy leftover 3-meat baked ziti, which was good. I've had kind of an upset stomach recently... so I ate this with no sour feeling stomach... which was good! I didn't have much of it because I knew I was going to Starbucks later... and that is where this day gets really exciting!

I've been on a quest for the movie Tower of Terror that was part of The Wonderful World of Disney... for years. Like literally I was looking for it when I went on the ride the last time I went to Disney in 2009... so its been a long search. And recently I was browsing Targets website (I'm probably going to buy Lilo and Stitch because I just rewatched it on Netflix and its going away soon) and it said that not only did they have Tower of Terror... but they had it in store! So I went 2 times last week looking for it in the DVD aisle... they didn't have it. And then I was looking in the halloween aisle today and guess what? THEY HAD IT! So I bought that and I also got a picture of a raven from the dollar spot to put by my desk because A) That's funny B) I want to seem like a dark and mysterious writer. Right now I have it on my wall underneath a disco ball with a stuffed Art from Monster's University, and a sign that says Keep Calm and Eat Cupcakes with some minions on it... so maybe I'm not that dark or mysterious.

And we went to the Starbucks inside of Target which is really good and I tried the PSL with Almond Milk... which didn't taste as good as regular milk, but sometimes milk can hurt my stomach and Almond Milk is usually okay... so I might get the almond milk occasionally or just keep getting it and get used to it. It tasted very almondy. I don't think they use the sweetened kind...so that is a bit of a bummer... but maybe I'll get used to it or something. Idk.

Another fun thing we were kinda looking for for a long time was the bones that my dog likes! Which are the Z bones from Zukes! They used to sell them at Pets Mart and Wegmans and they had stopped at both and my dog loved them and he is always so good when he has a bone and he's so proud of himself when he has a bone it is just too cute... and they had big bags! So that ended up being really really good!

Now I'm home... possibly going out later... but I'm not sure. I know what movie I'm watching later... and I think I'm going to read some of Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone also cause I started reading that for a Throwback Thursday that will be in the somewhat distant future. I've got almost all my Throwback Thursdays for the year written and now I'm working on next year... so that is fun!

Hope you all are having a good week!

Byeee!

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...

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...
