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!

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...

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...
