Blogmas Day 16:Christmas 2016 It List!!!!

Here are my favorite Chrismasy things of the year... so far!

1) Simply Christmas by Leslie Odom Jr- I reviewed this cd right here and I thought it was just really a great cd. The songs were all nice and I'm a fan of Leslie Odom, Jr.'s voice! I really like it and its been one of my favorites this year!

2) Vlogmas- I watch a lot of daily vloggers regularly. Like The Tim Tracker and The Jones Family Travels and people that are around theme parks... but I've been especially liking them during the holiday season because I love seeing different places around the holidays. It's just interesting to me and I like the addition of several other youtubers doing Vlogmas as well! It's just been fun to see what everyone is up to and how everyone is celebrating. There are lots of extra videos to watch and its fun!

3) Sugar Cookie Egg Nog- This has been my favorite thing for years... but I didn't find it the last couple of years... but this year its back and its so sooo yummy! I love it, my dog begs and begs me for it too. It's hard to find... mostly because we bought them all... but it is amazingly delicious!

4) Chestnut Praline Latte- Sort of an accidental favorite... but a favorite nonetheless. I usually order this around Thanksgiving time and I kind of stop for Christmas... but now I'm not getting my own Starbucks and the people at Starbucks know me really well... so either they think they know my order and its always Chestnut Praline or my mom gets it for me... its still good nonetheless and I currently like it over the Gingerbread Latte. I had a Gingerbread Latte that tasted like flowers... I feel like the syrup is a little different this year... idk... maybe it just got mixed up with the Berry Hibiscus... but I've been more interested in the other flavors... so yeah. Chestnut Praline is super good!

5) The Great American Bake Off- Unmentioned in my "Getting in the Christmas Spirit" blog post... baking shows also really help me get in the holiday spirit. I love this one particularly because it is hosted by Nia Vardalos and her husband Ian Gomez, but I really do like the challenges and seeing all the ideas people come up with. These people are amateur bakers and they pick apart everything about their cookies... that's gotta be rough! But its still fun to watch... which sounds terrible. Lol.

6) Tangled- Not a Christmas movie... yet somehow I've seen it like 3 times this season and now I think it's going to be a Christmas movie for me... But I'm probably still going to just watch it whenever because it is one of my favorite Disney Movies. I like it a lot! It's good.

7) Chocolate Covered Ritz Crackers- I like these a lot! Its just nice chocolate and its good! I love it! I finished a box already... and I kind of want more... I know I'm bad but I don't care. It's yummy.

8) Snickerdoodle Hot Chocolate- Super Yummy from Starbucks. I actually just did a review on this right here and it tastes like a nice, warm cookie from the oven. I just had one... so yummy. I love it and will be looking forward to getting it some more!

9) She and Him Christmas Cds- I'm going to have a post about this in a few days I think... but they have a new cd out and I really like it! They have an older CD too, and I've been listening to that... I forgot all about this the last few years, but now I've remembered to listen to it... and I really like both cds. Christmas Party is the new one. A She& Him Christmas is the original... I think I like Christmas Party a little bit better. Idk It's just She & Him Christmas has The Christmas Waltz, which I think is the name of the Frosted Windowpanes song... and I just don't like that song no matter who sings it.

10) The Middle- Since Thanksgiving it has been kind of a better show than usual... You can tell that everything has been leading up to something bigger... and this Christmas Episode is sort of the big thing. It's on right now... and I dig it. It's good!

So that is pretty much everything Christmasy that I've been loving lately!

Byeee!

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...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
