The "I'll get to it later" Problem

So this is procrastinating in a totally new form... its just wanting to do something and then just being like "I'll get to it later" or "I'll do it after I do this" or "Meh. Someday."

Procrastination to me is just like when I was in college and I waited until the very last minute to study or to write papers. I would always do wayyy better on the papers I wrote last minute... and i would honestly have wayyy more fun writing them. Something about just thinking on your feet and writing on it just made me go "Yes. I am brilliant." And that was really quite fun.

But the "I'll get to it later" problem is a lot different. Like sometime before my sister's wedding I got the original Star Wars Trilogy on DVD and I wanted to watch them and do a Throwback Thursday on them... but then I wanted to make sure my room was clean first and then I wanted to re-read the Harry Potter series and do a Throwback Thursday on that... but I still didn't do that yet and I was like "wait... maybe I should do the Harry Potter ones before the Star Wars ones." And that didn't happen.

And right now I know I'm not going to watch those because I have 2 episodes of Stranger Things left that I want to watch... and I haven't gotten to that yet either. Ugh!

I've also been watching Super Carlin Brothers a lot... and I know I've talked about them before... but I went back and watched their first videos and those were both very similar to their current videos... but also a totally different concept where they would just have one big year long conversation, vlogging to each other every day and responding to each others comments about that... and somehow that inspired this blog right now.

I was actually going to start a whole different blog where every day I would write some thoughts about something before I go to bed... and then write something else when I woke up in the morning... and I think I'm just going to try doing that here instead. So I'm going to try to have it as the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning... it probably won't be the last thing I do when I go to sleep... but you never know.

And why am I doing this? Because I just thought of it now and I don't want it to be an "I'll get to it later" type of problem... so I'm just going to commit to it now. In addition to the other blogs on this blog... and my beauty blog... I have 2 more posts daily... good job, Shannon!

I'm excited about this though because I like writing this down and this is one of the easiest blogs I've ever written... its well thought out, interesting... there's a problem that I solved. It's good right? TELL ME I'M A GOOD WRITER! Jk... but yeah.

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
