Weekly Wrap Up Thanksgiving Edition: 11/27/16



Favorites 
I honestly don't remember my favorites... this week was kind of a blur... so let's just kinda wing it?

The Middle- I thought that this weeks episode of The Middle was good. It was sad... but good. I was surprised that they kind of "went there" with the Axl and April story... but I liked it!

Charlie Brown Thanksgiving- I love this! It's so cute to see Snoopy cooking up "Thanksgiving dinner." I love it!

Simply Christmas by Leslie Odom, Jr.- I listened to this while cleaning the bathroom. Really good! Definitely like it a lot!

Life Scribbles
-Monday I went grocery shopping with my Mom at a place called Delicious Orchards... I think they don't usually open on Mondays... but they're pretty crazy the Monday before Thanksgiving... and yeah. They were packed. We also went to Target and some other grocery stores. I ate Onion Soup... it was a good day. 
-Tuesday I think I ate food again... lol.
-Wednesday I helped my mom clean and chop and we had dinner out and it was yummy.
-Thursday was Thanksgiving.
-Anddddd Friday and Saturday I got sick. 

TV Highlights 
Other than what I already mentioned... Colbert and Life in Pieces... which I'm starting to like a lot! 
Noteworthy Snacks 

News and World Events 
Kanye West showed up hours late to his concert, played about 3 songs and went on a 15 minute rant about Jay Z and Beyonce hiring people to kill him... and then checked into a hospital for exhaustion. His tour dates have been cancelled and I believe people are getting refunds already... so... yeah...

 Speaking of music: The AMAs were on! Lots of great performances, I was super impressed with Shawn Mendes... I don't know why I wasn't expecting him to be good... but he was really good. Green Day too. Selena Gomez gave a really great speech and I'm proud of her. She's someone I thought maybe wasn't the swiftest cat in the wild... but she seemed very smart, mature and together.

Mike Pence said that he didn't take offense to the cast of Hamilton speaking their mind... Revolutionary!


The Cars 3 trailer was released... this doesn't seem like a big deal if you've seen Cars 2... but trust me... watch the trailer! It seems like this is going to be the dark side of Pixar that we haven't really seen in the Cars movies... I'll link it in the clickables. 

Thoughts 
Thanksgiving and the Holidays are always kind of unpredictable. A few years ago I was waking up early to go shopping on Black Friday, then I was working it, last year I was getting my Bridesmaid dress for my sisters wedding and this year I was sick and slept through most of it... you can never tell what will happen... so just try to enjoy what you can and take care of yourself.

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...
