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 delicious…but I needed to lay down afterword… so yeah. 

That’s pretty much it… doesn’t take much to make me happy… just some starbucks and some ice cream. Lol. 

Monday 7.24.17 

Today was kind of good and kind of hard… I’m probably going to be vague of anything bad that’s going on because… that’s not really something I like talking about… so we’re going to kind of gloss over it for a bit… I can’t really say “everything is fine” things are different now…so that’s all I can really say I guess? 

In other good news, my niece started CRACKING UP at my mom when she was doing a Donald Duck voice… it was really cute. At first she thought it was the dog- but then when she found out it was her grandma it was really cute. 

So… that’s about it I think. I ate a bagel and some chicken… I don’t think anything else was really memorable about it… idk. I watched some youtube videos. 

Tuesday 7.25.17 

Tuesday was a tougher day. I mentioned in my post yesterday that there was a loss in my family. That’s all I really have to say… it was a sad day with some moments of comfort from my family and friends. And honestly… that’s kind of how Wednesday, Thursday and friday were also… I don’t really have much more to say for the rest of the week… so I think I’ll just kind of leave the blog here… 

For the most part I just write these blogs the day after they happen… or I’ll catch up a few days later… but really the days kind of all just blurred together this week… so it kind of feels hard for me to go back and think about what else has happened. Just know that if you’re in mourning- it’s okay to have some bad days and some sad days. And it’s okay to have some moments of comfort and happiness. 

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...

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...
