Weekly Wrap Up! 2.19.17

Favorites

Joanne by Lady Gaga- I've been listening to this CD a lot this week and it's just really good... I'm really excited to see Lady Gaga in August... I love that this is kind of different than what she usually does... but she just does it so well. It is weird to listen to a full CD and where Alexander Hamilton doesn't die at the end... but it's still really good.

Jane The Virgin- I finished watching the First Season of the show... and I have a recap that I'll post on a Throwback Thursday sometime next month... but what a great show! I just really like it. I'm on the Second Season now... so yeah. I'm still all caught up with the current season... but re-watching is so fun.

Dr. Teals Relax and Relief Eucalyptus Spearmint Foaming Bath Soak- This smells amazing and it's a stress relief type of thing and it just smells nice and de-stresses and I just really like it. It's a relaxing and refreshing bubble bath!

A Dog's Purpose- I saw this movie with my friends a few nights ago... did not stop crying at all! Great, great, great movie... I might see it again with my mom... review coming tomorrow I believe.

News and World Events

George and Amal Clooney are having twins... which I announced... but they are having one of each! A boy and a girl!

I don't have much news for the week... sorry!

AHS season 7 will of corse be about the 2016 election. Would have definitely been a missed opportunity if they didn't do this!

TV Highlights

I think I'll actually do a full Scribbles About TV on Tuesday or Wednesday because I like doing re-caps and there were no awards shows this week... I'm excited to do the Oscars next week... but this is good too.

Noteworthy Snacks

Souvlaki from a diner nearby... think I'll do a scribbles about food for this place.

Music

Angel Down by Lady Gaga... the whole cd I mentioned is really good... but I'm going to shout out this particular song this week because it's really good!

Quotes

"If you dont have any shadows you're not in the light" - Lady Gaga

“I guess I had never bothered to consider that there might such a thing as a boy, but now that I had found one, I thought it was just about the most wonderful concept in the world. He smelled of mud and sugar and an animal I'd never scented before, and a faint meaty odor clung to his fingers, so I licked them.” - A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron

Thoughts

I spend a lot of time with my dog and (this week at least) with my niece and after seeing A Dog's Purpose... it's kind of fun and easy to just imagine what they are thinking and trying to understand them. Dogs are more human than you'd think and babies are more grown up than you'd think.

I Steal Pets - You guys know I'm obsessed with Crazy Ex Girlfriend... this was a song Rachel Bloom did before Crazy Ex Girlfriend and it's really funny and dark and I like it a lot. Lol.

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...
