Hump Day Update (11.8.17)

What I'm Watching 

American Horror Story! Both Cult and Murder House... I didn't like Cult this week... but I'm excited for the finale. I liked this season a lot... but I'm kind of happy that it's ending because it's just pretty tense... and it's a great season but it's hard to watch.

I watched the ABC comedies... I liked Fresh Off The Boat, Blackish and The Mayor... Blackish was especially good... this season has been my favorite so far.

I kind of saw the Middle... I like the show but I'm okay with it being the last season. It's not bad... but I don't think any season was "The Best Season Ever" or something... I just think it's a good show that hasn't jumped the shark... it's just kind of run its corse.

News

Disney was looking into buying 20th Century Fox... but then they didn't... I have no idea why this is in the news as it was already announced that they wouldn't be partnering. Disney could have possibly acquired properties like the X Men movies and Avatar... which are already associated with Disney... but they didn't reach an agreement so there was no purchase. I feel like they just wanted movies like X Men and Avatar on the streaming Service but... yeah that didn't happen.


Food

Egg Nog! Hood Egg Nog is my favorite... I haven't found my favorite flavor Sugar Cookie Egg Nog yet... but the Vanilla is really good, the Pumpkin is great... I just really like these a lot.

There's a Dill Cheese Spread I've been Loving... I'll probably mention it in my weekend post... but I just really like it a lot.

Favorites 
I'm sleeping in my new room now... and I'm loving it! I have my Ikea Micke desk set up right now... it's one of the corner desks and it's really cute and good. I also really like the bed, it's a Malm bed and Mattress... if you buy the bed on it's own it's not fully supported. It's just a bed frame, there's nothing to actually hold up the mattress... so keep that in mind if you buy it... They weren't in the display along with the Malm Bed and they had a name other than Malm... so it's tricky to find... but it's something to keep in mind when you're shopping there. We had no idea until my dad set up the bed... I do still like it a lot, the mattress is sooo comfy and I've been sleeping really well!

Still reading Big Little Lies from Lianne Moriarity... Haven't read much more... but I like it.

I'm listening to Comedy Bang Bang again... that's a really funny and great show all around.

And I did a little puzzle last night... it's for kids and it's a minion puzzle so it was just 50 pieces... although I think I'm missing a piece in mine... But I'm using it as a coaster currently!

Other Stuff 

Don't you hate when people kind of force their opinions on you in public... I don't want to share my example of this... but someone kind of publicly talked about something controversial to talk about and then stated her opinion... which is not what I agree with... but she stated it in a way that implied agreement from everyone. I didn't want to argue with this person so I just kind of avoided her as much as I could in this situation... and I vented about her later to people that would also find her annoying... maybe that isn't the right thing to do... but arguing with her wasn't worth it.

Anddd... ANY TIME I sneak food into my room... it wakes up my dog... and then he wants some. Particularly Polly- O String Cheese and Egg Nog because I usually share those with him. Last night I kept the sink in the kitchen running so he wouldn't hear the sound of me pouring Egg Nog... and it worked! I hope my dog doesn't read this and figure out my secret... ugh! Lol.

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...
