Weekly Wrap Up 5.20.17


Favorites 

Master of None- I have a lot of favorites this week! I couldn’t pick… but I did finish up Master of None Season 2 on Tuesday I think… and it was pretty darn amazing! I have to say, I’m a bigger fan of this show than I was last season. It was just really funny and well done! 

Great News- This show has been really funny since it’s been on… which hasn’t been that long… but it’s been long enough for me to fall in love with it… and the last couple of episodes were the funniest ones yet! 

Candy Crush Saga- I downloaded this app again… and I was having a lot of fun with it… I did end up deleting it again today just because it’s not something I could really see myself doing for that much longer… and it was just too distracting… but it was fun while it lasted and I’m going to mention it this week! 

Starbucks Breakfast Sandwiches- I’ve never been that big on eggs until recently apparently. These are just delicious. Today I got a bacon gouda… I’ve been getting the Sausage Egg and Cheese usually… I just kind of wanted bacon for breakfast and this was a great way to do it. 

Downward Dog- I’ll have a review on this show this week… but it’s just a really cute show and very relevant to my life! I have a dog- I love dogs… this just makes me smile! 

News And World Events 
A lot of stuff happened this week… so let’s see! 

Scandal announced that it would be ending the series next year… my sister is devastated as this will be the last year for Scandal and Game of Thrones. 

The singer Chris Cornell of the band Soundgarden died and his death was ruled a suicide… I didn’t know the band that well until a few weekends ago he was actually on the CBS Morning News (I believe it was him) and he was really interesting and he mentioned a lot of the projects he was working on… he did a song from a documentary or something… and it was good. It’s such a shame! 

Supernatural is doing a crossover with Scooby Doo… so that’s awesome! 

The networks have announced plans for renewals and some fall shows that are coming up… one that interests me is Young Sheldon, which is Sheldon Cooper’s Malcom in the Middle type origin story… and it looks really good! Jim Parson’s actually came up with the idea for it… and I’m excited. It’s in the clickables! 

Noteworthy Snacks 
The Starbucks Breakfast Sandwiches! So good! 

Nutella… yummmm! 


Music 
I randomly started singing Hurricane from Hamilton today… and if you ever see the play… that’s a very powerful scene… it really sticks out to you… I love it! 

Quotes 
“The Printer ran out of toner so I went to Sephora!”- Carol on Great News 

Thoughts 

It makes more sense if I post this on Saturday and Scribbles on Sunday, doesn’t it… That’s what I’ll do from now on!

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...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...
