Shannon's European Adventures- Story Time!

I feel like I tell these stories often. None of these are crazy stories or interesting things really... they're just kind of funny stories that happened to me... and I'm a little dramatic when I tell them.

1- The Time I almost got lost in the Palace of Versailles 
This was just for a brief second... but the group I was with was a little behind the other groups... I think when we were having lunch or buying a snack or something maybe? I think I got a Fanta there... maybe not? I don't know if that's a thing you can do. But point is we thought we were locked in this one room... we weren't. I remember saying "You know how you guys always said you wanted to live in a palace?" Lol.

2. I got lost at the Louvre 
Yep... I got separated from the group at the Louvre too... I don't think I was in any group... This story isn't that interesting... but I think the protocall was to go back to the place where I got lost... and I didn't do that... I asked another group what to do and they told me that... I think I went to the gift shop for a second and then went outside to look for them and I found them eventually.

3. I got stuck in an elevator? 
I tell this one often lol... one time- last night of the trip and the elevator said "Only 8 people to an elevator" and we tested this... and got stuck. My friends were panicking... I was just laughing- we weren't stuck for a long time and I just thought it was a good time to laugh and make light of the situation.

Funny thing- I did a college paper on that subject... my English Teacher said that wasn't a good choice... but it fit the category another school had... and it worked for that and I got a scholarship for that school... so that's pretty awesome. Lol.

Anyway... there are probably more stories... I'll leave it there. I know these aren't crazy... I was 16 so these are memorable to me... I have some funny stories still.

Byee!

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...

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...
