A Weekend In The Life: My Mom's Birthday+ Father's Day Weekend

So I had a particularly fun weekend and I thought that I would share a little bit about it! I'm writing this on June 18th and my family just celebrated My Mom's Birthday and Father's Day... so I'll explain what happened.

Friday Night: Mom's Bday Party 

This was fun. We went out to a restaurant we frequent at least once a week and we had some of our friends and our family with us. It was a lot of fun. My sister and her husband were there with their baby- and she's just a ton of fun and my best buddy.... so we ate at the restaurant and then we came home for cake and she was just having fun and walking all around. We watched some Sesame Street... it was all really good!

I had really good tortellini and then the dessert was my mom's favorite chocolate coconut cake.

Saturday: A Day Inside With Guests 

Saturday was a little more of a lazy day. We didn't really intend for it to be a lazy day... but we were waiting for my sister to come over for the day and then we didn't really do anything. But we had some fun. We watched some things on TBS... it started out with the movie Keanu with Key and Peele... which my mom and I love and I think my grandmother liked it too. Then we watched my new favorite show: The Joker's Wild with Snoop Dog. I just kind of left it on because it was in between Keanu and Friends, which was on next... but I did such a good job guessing the answers... I need to go on this show! I would probably win a lot of money. Lol.

So yeah then we watched Friends and my sister came over so we watched some Sesame Street and a little bit of Seinfeld... and I feel like I always need to explain Seinfeld episodes to people because they're new to me even though its been on forever... and they're all really funny. In this one Jerry gets a new car and he goes to a valet and the valet has really bad BO... and then that makes the car stink. And then he and Elaine end up stinking too... and it just gets on whatever or whoever is nearby like its an entity. It is really funny!

And then we had Chinese food which we brought in from our favorite restaurant and that was great. So overall... it was a fun day and I'm happy we watched The Joker's Wild because I love that show!

Sunday: Father's Day 

On Father's Day we went out to one of my dad's favorite restaurants- Bahrs... they were busy and they had a somewhat limited menu but it wasn't that limited. It was good though anyway. If a dad got a lobster he could get a free hat... which is great. My parents and I all got the Soft Shell Crab and idk what my grandmother got... but the crab was delicious.

And then we went to Nicholas Creamery for Ice Cream which was really great. I had the mint chocolate chip... it was really really minty! Definitely different than any mint chocolate chip i've ever had before!

And then I went home, took a nap, and then I had to transfer my t shirts that I had in one thing of plastic drawers to another because the one I had was breaking... so that was kind of hard but I'm glad I got it done... because after that I just watched Spider Man: Homecoming and then some of season 2 of Search Party.

All in all fun weekend even though I didn't do too much... I also did a lot.

I'll probably have another one of these really soon because I'm having an exciting weekend this weekend too!

Bye!

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...

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...

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...
