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...

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 Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
