How To-sday: How To Dog Sit

I thought I would bring How To-sday Back... but again... I'd like to do it in a more personal way and talk about what I actually did this week that's a little different than what I usually do and teach you how to do that... or maybe something that isn't new... but idk maybe a little different... I already have an idea for next week in fact! This might be satirical... so keep that in mind.

Anyway... so yeah dogsitting! My friend was going away for the weekend while she was dogsitting- so I get to watch the cute puppy! I miss my own puppy but I love having puppies around! Which brings me to #1!

1) Love Dogs! 
Seriously... if you don't love dogs what kind of sick monster are you? Especially if you clicked a video saying how to dog sit... just make sure to actually love dogs at all times... in any situation. It will make you feel better about things like the patriarchy being terrible and Casey Affleck winning the Oscar after he's been a known abuser of women... okay still upsetting... but how mad can I be at the world when there's a cute little pup next to me and she's being so sweet!

2) Go Outside Responsibly 
This is a big one. Make sure the dog is wearing everything it needs to wear... make sure you have keys and everything... a phone is good just in case... and poop bags. Gotta have the poop bags! If you walk by a park they might provide bags... but you know. Be a good neighbor!


3) Be Patient! 
Just be patient with the walks too... sometimes dogs can be too fast... sometimes they're really slow. I watched a dog once for my neighbor... and I was in 6th grade and the dog was a big puppy...and it was my first time walking her... so I didn't know and she just kind of started running and I ran with her. I didn't have a cell phone at the time- so I couldn't tell them where I was and they were worried. I only knew where I was because I was near the house that made freshly popped warm popcorn for halloween... they had a distinctive sign on their house that I thought was for Halloween... and as it turns out- it was not!

So yeah- if you are having a dogsitter come over... maybe do a trial run first if you can. That made it easy for me today.

4) If you're going to someone else's house... pack food! 
Since I was staying at my friends house... I needed to make sure to feed myself. I didn't really want to go out or order anything... so I brought some chili that my mom made... I got one of those Thanksgiving Sandwiches from Starbucks... some snacks, a Starbucks Via thing... some milk... just some good little snacky things. Really good!

5) Pay Attention to where you're going! 

How do you not get lost? Pay attention to where you're going! That's just good advice!

6) Have Fun... Be Yourself 
This is just life advice in general. Sooo I thought I'd put that in here too lol.

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
