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 Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
