Eating a lot of food, Target Dollar Spot, Hamilton and Pixar.

Soooo today I ate a lot of food... and it was yummy.... but when you think "Oh what did I do today?" "Ate a lot of food!" Maybe you did something wrong.

As you know in the morning I had a coffee from Dunkin Donuts... which got sweeter towards the end. Then I ate some munchkins... another starbucks coffee... a sandwich... some candy. Some Rice Crispy Treats.... My mom made Shake and Bake Chicken... which apparently makes my stomach hurt... it was a lot.

Also today I went to the Target Dollar Spot Section and it was awesome! I got a phone case that has glitter in it but its one of those snow globe types of cases where you can watch all the glitter drip down... and I keep doing this but I accidentally just called my aunt on Facebook a few minutes ago... which I felt bad about because it was 12:45! She said she was still awake and she actually called me back, but I still felt bad!

And I got a portable phone charger and a decorative jewelry box that was really pretty. I'm hoping they'll still be well-stocked throughout the season... but my guess is by tomorrow it will be ransacked... which is a shame because its all so cute.

I also tried cleaning my room because I actually broke my desk kind of... thats a long story, basically my dad can fix it... but this is an old desk anyway that is kind of crappy and I'm probably changing it soon.

So right now I'm listening to Leslie Odom Jr's cd... He's the guy that plays Aaron Burr in Hamilton. He's a great singer and I think I have a crush on him... but I'm not a big fan of Jazz music. I love the idea of it. Jazz clubs are the coolest thing ever, it all sounds really good... but to me it just sounds like Aaron Burr singing the Charlie Brown soundtrack... I'm starting to like his cd better... but I'm even more excited for his Christmas Cd! On his website if you order a copy, you can get it autographed! So that is what I'm doing and I'm excited.

And you know what else is happening soon that is very exciting! THE HAMILTON MIXTAPE! These are all getting me quite pumped for when I see Hamilton in January... forgive me if pretty much all of my blogs in January are Hamilton themed.... I'm really excited though! I loveeee Hamilton. Its just brilliant.

And now I decided to turn on History Has its Eyes on You... which is kind of a heartbreaking song in todays day and age... I'll get to that someday soon... but I really wish current politicians and presidential candidates would listen to this George Washington because in reality... history DOES have its eyes on you... and although I am voting for one of the two major candidates... they've both done some bad things that history will not remember them fondly for. Its very sad.

So... on that bummer of a note lets get back on a happy note...Pixar is still a thing... and as long as we live in a world with Pixar movies... I think we'll be fine!

Byee!

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...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
