Weekly Wrap Up 11/20/16



Favorites 
Late Night TV- As I've mentioned... I'm trying to watch as much late night TV as I can  lately... this week I've watched The Late Show, The Late Late Show, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. I mostly have them on in the background while I do other stuff. Late Night and The Late Late show I try to watch live... but most of it I try to have on while blogging or cleaning my room or doing my makeup. Right now The Late Show is on while I'm writing this. I still want to watch Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, some more Seth Meyers... probably Bill Mahr and Samantha Bee too. It's a good time for Late Night TV. 

How To Get Away With Murder- Wow... That Winter Finale... Wow! That's all I'll say... it was pretty shocking. I did a whole post on it yesterday... so just know it was pretty great. 


Life Scribbles
Monday I went out to lunch with my mom... I think I went to Harmon and Starbucks too... yep that was that day. 

Tuesday I mostly stayed home. 

Wednesday I went to the grocery store with my mom and grandmother. 

Thursday I went to the doctors... and Friday I went grocery shopping too! 

TV Highlights 
How To Get Away With Murder... American Horror Story... so many good things! I also watched some Life in Pieces this week, that's a good one. A lot of the comedies on ABC... so many good things. 

Noteworthy Snacks 
Sugar Cookie Egg Nog. 

French Onion Soup. 

Anything with chocolate. 

News and World Events 
Mickey Mouse turned 88 years old on Friday! That is pretty cool. 

There is a video of a polar bear petting a dog! 

I'm trying not to read Facebook news anymore... as I've mentioned... but Carrie Fisher allegedly had an affair with Harrison Ford while shooting Star Wars. 

There was a really nice story on the  CBS This Morning Show about a little girl that became friends with an older man. This 82-year old man was a recent widower and he felt lost and helpless. This little girl came up to him and said "Hey old person! It's my Birthday! Can you give me a hug?" And he did and he said he felt happier than he had felt in a long time. He thinks of the little girl as an Angel that has given him a reason to live.  I'll link the article from CBS below... it's just the best news story I've seen in a very long time and it gives me the kind of hope that I feel like we need in today's day and age. 

Mike Pence attended a showing of Hamilton... really? That guy saw it before me? Anyway... they had a nice message for Mike Pence at the end of the show about diversity, and I'll link the video below. 
Thoughts 
Don't believe everything you see online... don't believe anything you see on the news either. There are some people I trust... and I'm watching them only. I'm sticking with Late Night TV, The CBS Morning Show... I resubscribed to Phillip Defranco and sourcefed. I'm also going to start listening to Charles Osgood because I loved Sunday Morning on CBS. I  trust the local ABC news... but that's about it. And even those are quite biased.... so just know what you're getting yourself into. Don't repost anything unless you're certain its true... be informed!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
