Song of The Day: Graduation (Friends Forever) by Vitamin C

So I thought Songs of The Day would be fun. I did this a long time ago and I wanted to do this every week at one point... but I don't think I ever really did.

But anyway- this song used to make me sad as a kid thinking about the future and growing up... now it kind of makes me think of the past and how I never really grew up... so that's weird.

I think the scariest part of this song is in the beginning it mentions "Always thinking about we'll be when we turn 25." I'll be 27 next month... so that's super scary to think of... I thought I'd have something to show by now... like a movie that I wrote or starred in or something... ugh. That is really scary!

Anyway... so am I friends with the people I was friends with the first time I listened to this song and it made me sad... no... I mean it's easier to catch up with people now because of Facebook... but other than liking a post every once and a while and seeing how cute some people's kids are- I don't really know these people that I thought would always be an important part of my life anymore.

I guess that's sad... but at the same time- other stuff happens when you aren't just in touch with the same people you've always known... so there is always something to do or something fun. Life changes and things change... and it's just something you need to get used to I guess.

So... yeah. I guess this song isn't as sad as it was when I first heard it. I guess I can kind of know how to handle these things now and even though I thought "what? I'm older than 25- young Shannon would be disappointed in this." She probably really wouldn't be. I'm a pretty cool badass person and I admire myself.

Bye!

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...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
