10 Thanksgiving Favorites

Alright-  Thanksgiving is a little under appreciated as a holiday- and I get it- it isn't as glamorous or fun as the two holidays it is sandwiched in between. My next post will probably be Christmas Related... but Thanksgiving is good too! And I want to talk about it! I'll also probably mention Christmas because I do feel like they go hand in hand. These are in no particular order!

1. Friends Thanksgiving Episodes- Everyone knows these are the best episodes of Friends! Whether they have special guest stars, love interests, bad trifle, mocklate, or turkey's getting stuck on Joey's head... they are always the best episodes! They are almost as good as Monica's Moist Maker Sandwich!

2. The Thanksgiving Day Parade- I'm not too into parades- but I do really love watching all the balloons of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I used to especially love it when Macy's would release the special plushes to go along with the main Balloon... and I'm sad they don't do that anymore- but I still like watching the Parade.

3. Anticipation for the Holiday Season- I feel like as an adult I like the Buildup to Christmas more than Christmas Day. Maybe it is because I work in retail and I like putting out Christmas Stuff... and I also like making sure that Christmas isn't a Blur to me... but I really like the buildup to Christmas and Thanksgiving is really fun.

5. Stores that Stay Closed on Thanksgiving- I hated working on Thanksgiving Night... and I'm always happy when I see that some stores stay closed on Thanksgiving. The one time I had to work- I worked late on Thanksgiving Night- so around Midnight I was there... then I had to close on Black Friday the next day... so I went to bed for a few hours... I had too many blankets on and woke up feeling sick... didn't actually get sick- but I did wake up for a few hours and then fell asleep on the couch while company was over. And then I had to get up and get back to work for Black Friday... so I appreciate stores closing on Thanksgiving and prefer to shop online.

6. Food- Duh! It may not be a day centered around candy like Halloween... but it is a day based around eating a lot of really great food!

7. Black Friday- So I like stores that close on Thanksgiving- but I do love Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sales. You can get some good deals and I have fun shopping and working on Black Friday.

8. Chestnut Praline Latte- This is my favorite holiday drink from Starbucks- but I associate this flavor kind of with Thanksgiving. I just feel like this is a nice transition flavor and sometimes I get the more christmasy flavors after Thanksgiving. But I still love this the best.

9. Fall Leaves- I love the colors of the fall leaves in November. They just look really pretty on a grey day with a little bit of sun. It just makes me really happy.

10. Leftovers- Definitely going to make a Moist Maker sandwich this year with my leftovers. I'll make sure to give you guys the recipe... but in general I do love Thanksgiving Sandwiches!

Bye!

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
