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!

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...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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 del...
