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.

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...
