Hump Day Update! 11/22/17

What I'm Watching 

I watched all of the Community Christmas episodes over the weekend... there might have been one or 2 that I missed... but I watched the first 3 seasons and I loveeee that show and their holiday episodes are the best!

I also watched Corky Romano with my friend this week... weird movie... but a good one.

Tonight I'm really excited because Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is on and after that they're showing repeats (I think) of Modern Family and American Housewife.

I also watched Fresh Off The Boat and The Middle. Those were good this week. The Middle isn't my favorite show... but I do really love Fresh Off The Boat.

So happy Life in Pieces is back... I also watched Mom and I watched some of Curb Your Enthusiasm... so so funny!

That's about it!

News

Charlie Rose is the latest person accused of Sexual Harassment and has since been let go from his show CBS This Morning and his show on PBS. He didn't deny allegations, but he also said what he did wasn't horrible and that he believed he was pursuing shared feelings.

I think what makes me angriest about all of these terrible scandals is that the men accused aren't apologizing... they're making excuses. And what they did was wrong and inexcusable. I'm sorry. I watched Charlie Rose for a few years now... I really like the CBS This Morning Show... and I really liked the way Gayle and Nora handled everything. I really admire both of those women and I'm happy to see them on the show.

In happier news: On ABC they always show a reporter reporting on the balloon inflating with their kids... and the last few years Michelle Charlesworth has gone out with her son and daughter to report. There was a little girl from digital with them... it was really cute. I always like seeing that- I feel bad because my mom and dad were out getting dinner (our traditional pre-thanksgiving KFC feast. Lol.)

Food and Drink 
The Thanksgiving sandwich at Starbucks! They only have it until Black Friday... so you only have a couple days to get it... but it's great!

They have good peppermint bark there also... they'll likely have that all through christmas.

I ate Greek Food with my friend... she got a gyro and I got a souvlaki pita pocket... tzatzki sauce was amazing.

I had some Turkey Chili which was delicious... and tonight I'm eating KFC and Starbucks!

Favorites 

Community as I've mentioned.

I watched a few videos of the Universal Studios Christmas at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and that's really exciting.

I filmed a couple youtube videos I'm excited about.

Leslie Odom Jr's Simply Christmas Deluxe Edition is a great Christmas CD... as is the Muppet Christmas Carol Christmas CD... I tried listening to that with my niece before and it got her to sleep. Good stuff!

Other Stuff 

My niece has been so playful lately and she's been laughing and smiling... I know I've mentioned that but I love playing with her... she's just so fun.

I like hanging out at Starbucks... it is just really really fun.

And I'm excited for black friday deals!

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...
