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 Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
