Hump Day Update: 11/29/17

What I'm Watching 

I feel like everything has been repeats lately on TV- but I've been watching a lot of Christmas specials on TV. I watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and The Thanksgiving Day Parade... I watched Rudolph last night and Santa Clause is Coming to Town recently... and the Victoria Secret Fashion Show- which was last night... so yeah that was all good.

I also watched some episodes of Mom and some repeats because it is now in syndication... so that's exciting.

There was an I Heart Radio Music Festival on on Friday Last Week and that was really great.

Just a lot of good holiday music specials lately.


News 

Matt Lauer was fired from NBC amongst Sexual Harassment allegations.

Prince Harry is Engaged to an American Actress named Meghan Markle. The Queen's Corgis approved... so that is a good sign. I'm also popular with Corgi's... just sayin.

Food and Drink 

I went to a place in Asbury called Loteria. That is really good... I had a Carne Asasda Burrito... it was delicious. They also have amazing queso.

I've been drinking a few Snickerdoodle Hot Chocolate's from Starbucks. Those are really really good. I'm excited that those are finally back.

I went to Molly Pitcher Inn for a Bridal Shower over the weekend... the food there was lovely!

I had Pierogi's and a Spiked Apple Cider from Bahrs Last night... delicious!

Leftover Turkey obviously... great for Thanksgiving Sandwiches.

The Garden Dill Spreadable Cheese from Finlandia. So yummy!

Cookies from Kirkland Brand at Costco... they come in a tray and they're mostly shortbread type cookies with chocolate on them... sooo yummy. One of our guests brought those on Thanksgiving.

Favorites 

I love doing festive things. I'm seeing Santa Tomorrow... I went to see the Tree Lighting and the Christmas Bazaar at Asbury... it's just a fun time of year.

I also made a Christmas Jar filled with ornaments from Target and Dollar Tree... and some fluff from a stuffed toy my dog got. I have some little jingle bells in there too.
I'm super proud of this. 



Other Stuff 
I'm soooo excited to see Santa tomorrow! I know him! I know him!

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...

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...

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...
