Hump Day Update 12.6.17

What I'm Watching 

I finally watched Merry Christmas Charlie Brown! Now the Holiday Season can start!

There was a Disney Christmas Special... it wasn't my favorite special- but I still kind of liked it. So I watched that.

Life In Pieces... the Thanksgiving episode was soooo sooo funny! And the episode from Thursday was good too. The Thanksgiving one was the best of the show so far though! Lol.

I really liked the Will and Grace Christmas Special they showed last night. It wasn't the best Christmas Episode of Will and Grace but it was still really funny... and my favorite moment was when Karen's son Smitty said something terrible that happened and she giggled and said "Ohhh Smitty, you always know to cheer me up" which is a callback to one of my favorite jokes from the series.

And Superstore was funny last night too... not as funny as the Halloween one- but still good.

I showed my mom the 2 episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm that my friend showed me and she thought they were really funny so I think we'll watch some more of that.

And Sesame Street! Cookie Monster has this cute fluffy monster friend that rides around in a cookie truck with him and I like that monster!

News 
Time Magazine names "The Silence Breakers" as their person of the year and they included pictures of Ashley Judd and Taylor Swift on their cover because they were part of this revolution where women (and men)  are coming forward against sexual harassment. I like that- I think that's been a very important story this year and that is a good thing to have on the cover of their magazine.

Food and Drink 

My neighbor went to Disney and brought me back some snacks and those were really nice! She got 3 rice krispy treats and a bag of spicy trail mix... those were delicious.

Chicken Vodka Lasagna.

Shake Shack.

I went to Michael Symon's restaurant Angeline at the Borgata... honestly- I was not really impressed. I had a fettucine with pumpkin. It wasn't bad...but it was a little bit bland. I might do a full review on this restaurant. My friend was in between getting the Eggplant Parm and the Fettucine and she usually gets the opposite of what I tell her to get and she ended up with the Chicken Parm... and I said "Yeah, you probably made a good call." Not because it was a bad dish- I still ate the full thing and I enjoyed it... but really Moonstruck is soo much better with their Pumpkin Rigatoni and Goat Cheese. My friend and I were talking about this maybe being spicy and crunchy and it was just a little bland... so yeah I'll have more on that later? But really if you want good Italian Food... take an Uber to Carmines. Probably pricier but a better value and it's just really good.

The best part of that meal was the Sea Salt Caramels that they brought out with the check... I meant to look in the gift shop to see if they had any!

Favorites 

I've been having fun doing Vlogmas and Blogmas even though it's been a little stressful and yesterday I couldn't get them up until after midnight (the blogs at least)

Kesha's cd Rainbow... it's the best. I listened to it fully for the first time yesterday and I loveeee it! She can sing any genre... she's so talented! She had some folksy songs, a few country songs, a boogie song... it was just a really impressive cd and I really liked it!

I also listened to a lot of Divide by Ed Sheeran and I listened to Leslie Odom Jr's Simply Christmas Deluxe Edition again... so I like these both a lot and yeah! I've been listening to a lot of music lately!


Other Stuff 
I went to my friends bachelorette party over the weekend... I feel like that's even bigger than a favorite! And I met Santa! So this has been a pretty eventful December so far!

Hope you guys like this!

Byeee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
