Weekly Wrap Up: 1/8/16

Ugh... I forgot about this this week! Sorry guys! Didn't think I'd have any favorites... but I think there are 5 things worth mentioning... so yeah. 

Favorites 
Baby Shower- So I was helping with my sister's baby shower this week... so it might not be a total favorite but it is what was on my mind pretty much all week and I just thought it was worth mentioning as a favorite.

Comedy Bang Bang- So happy I started listening to my podcasts again! Comedy Bang Bang and How Did This Get Made to be exact... but How Did This Get Made was just a mini episode so CBB was my favorite... and I loved it! It's so funny. I just like listening to it a lot!

Life In Pieces- This has been a favorite for a while that I never mention. Honestly, I have a horrible review on here of the first episode... and I stand by that review. It wasn't very original. The cast was good and it had funny moments... but it was no wheres near as clever and well-developed as it is now... and I really like that. It has improved a lot.

Oh Yeah Em- So a few months ago when I was on my Disney kick I mentioned a youtube channel called Oh Yeah Disney. It was an engaged couple, they have since gotten married and Emily now has a blog called Oh Yeah Em... and I love it! I just really like her style, I think she has a lot of fun posts and I like traveling and would love for this to be a travel blog... but I never travel anymore... so that won't happen. Lol. But anyway, I love her... and I think her blog is amazing! I will link it in the Clickables. Her pictures are awesome too, I think she takes some and her husband Scott is also a very talented photographer. I just really like her posts and will probably continue reading them as much as I can. Oh yeah Em is such a great and easy to remember name too! I love it!


Life Scribbles
I didn't do too much this week... wasn't feeling great after New Year's Eve... and then it kinda snowed and stuff... so other than the Baby Shower... didn't do too much!


TV Highlights 
Life in Pieces... I watched Mickey's House of Mouse Christmas and Return of the Jedi and a little bit of The Force awakens. 

Noteworthy Snacks 
The Oreo Candy Bar was pretty dang amazing.

Soooo much good food at the shower! Honey Cakes, "Haycorns" made out of Nilla Wafers and chocolate... so many good things! 

News and World Events 

Mariah Carey made headlines this New Year's Eve when she.... performed(?) at the New Year's Rockin' Eve Special... The music was synced up right and she just sort of stayed there pouting, she still danced and reached out to the crowd... but she was not havin' it at all! I heard there was no sound check before and that is why things went awry... Mariah Carey is a smart woman. I don't think she was just having a drunken meltdown. I think she was legitimately mad that it all went wrong. I would be pissed too if I were her! She doesn't do many live performances... She has a very strong voice... and... well it just sounds better if she lip syncs probably. I don't want to totally blame the New Year's Rockin Eve show... I'm thinking everything was kind of unplanned and it seemed people enjoyed themselves anyway... and Mariah looked totally totally gorgeous... although she looked kind of naked except for the glitters. Like I said, she's a smart woman... I don't totally think this was her fault.

One of the weirder more interesting stories of the week was that a woman is suing to have her name removed from google because her ex posted "revenge porn" with her in it... I don't know whether it was a sex tape or pictures... It's not going to happen. If it did, her name would never be allowed to be on google again. So if her name was something like Mary... all references to anyone named Mary would have to be removed. The reports said that it is a unique 4 letter name... so it probably isn't Mary, her identity was not revealed... odd choice to go straight to google. Maybe there need to be stricter laws about sex tapes and sexy pictures... maybe there don't and people just have to use common sense and decency about it. Weird world. I have no advice on this and no real thoughts... Be careful with your personal business?

That Trump guy did stuff maybe? I had a dream that that super young, really pretty republican girl Tommi whatever... I haven't heard her talk but my friends with similar political views don't like her very much... so I've avoided her for that reason... lol. Anyway I had a dream that there was a democrat version of her too and that they were going to battle... and it wasn't really specific what the battle was going to be... but it wasn't a debate. I think it was probably a rap battle... but yeah.

Music 
I listened to Watsky's newest album because I've had his song from the Hamilton Soundtrack stuck in my head forever and I really liked it. It took me a while to realize what Going Down was about... I just heard him say "Kimmy Schmidt" and I was like "That's My JAM!" And then I listened to the rest of that and I think there will be a whole different blog about that... but that'll come later... so stay tuned? Lol.

Thoughts 
Sometimes you forget to do things until 25 minutes after the last minute... like this blog right now... not even the 8th anymore for me... but yeah I really think this blog turned out pretty well. Hope you guys like it!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
