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!

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...
