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!

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...
