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!

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...
