Hump Day Update 2/7/18

What I'm Watching 

At the moment I'm watching Inside Out... I'm about to watch 9-1-1 though because that's new tonight and they're doing a Valentines Day Episode.

I saw a theory that The Good Place and Parks and Rec took place in the same universe... and so I'm watching both shows again and seeing what happens! I liked both of the pilots... but it's kind of funny how much each show changes from the start. And it's cool to re-watch The Good Place knowing what happens.

I watched 2 episodes of Black Mirror and that was good... I'll probably be done with the series soon.

I watched This Is Us and the Super Bowl obviously... both of those I've covered on this blog. I didn't watch yesterday's episode of This Is Us... and I'm still behind on The X Files.

Trying to watch some more youtube... I have a HUGE watch Later playlist... I'm going to watch a bunch!

News 

Here is an article about the first African American Woman to become an FDNY Deputy Chief. 

Here  is an article about puppies that were in the puppy bowl after being rescued from Puerto Rico 

There was also a sad news story about a young boy that died after falling in the ice trying to save his friend. He did save that friend- so he died a hero... which is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.

Food and Drink 
Drinking the Cherry Mocha from Starbucks right now... it's amazing and I love it.

Pizza Rolls... omg! Amazing!

Leftover superbowl food also!

Favorites 

The Arrested Development Soundtrack. It's called At Long Last- Music and Songs from Arrested Development and it is by David Schwartz who also does the music for The Good Place... which is COMPLETELY different and amazing!

And I've been reading a lot. I read a book called "The Princess Saves Herself in This One" by Amanda Lovelace... it's a poetry book but there's a kind of uplifting story in there too... so I really loved that actually. I've also been reading Mr. Kate's Book "A Hot Glue Gun Mess" which is a lot of fun. She has some good stories.

Other Stuff 

My dog is on my lap right now and he's nice and warm... but I need to go to the bathroom.

And I just went to the bathroom and now 9-1-1 is back on and I have my puppy on my lap and I have my coffee.

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 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...
