Weekly Wrap Up: 5.10.20

Alright I'm bringing back Weekly Wrap Up! So this is something I used to do... in 2016 it looks like I listed my favorites, talked about some things that happened during the week, I listed some noteworthy snacks, I talked a little about News and World Events, the best thing that happened in TV that week, thoughts and clickables. It looks like in 2017 I just talked about what I did during the week... I liked the 2016 version better but I'm not sure I'll have all of the categories. 

Favorites 

New Girl- I'm watching New Girl right now... and I've been doing reviews of it- I'm almost done I'm on the end of season 6... Season 7 is the last season and it's only 8 episodes... so I think I'll probably be done with it pretty soon. It's not as good in this season... but I still love the characters- it's really cute! 

Animal Crossing Plushes- Okay so I've been playing Animal Crossing almost every day since it's been released... and I ordered some plushes off of Boxlunch. These are from play but 2 of the characters are  the game still and 1 might be coming soon. I just love how cute these characters are and it just makes me happy. I have KK Slider, Isabelle and Brewster. 

Bullet Journal- I've been having a good time using my Bullet Journal lately! It's been helping a lot- I feel like I'm more accomplished on my blog and with my personal life when I use it. It's just fun and easy way to plan things. 

Staying in With Emily and Kumail- This is a good podcast where Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon just... talk about how they're handling the quarantine. There are a lot of quarantine podcasts so check out any you might be interested in... I think we won't be totally back to normal for a while. I listen to it while I play animal crossing or while I work out. It's a good podcast. 

Working Out- Yeah- I've been working out a bit too. It's just something to do that's kind of easy. I've been trying to do it every other day... but I've missed a couple days in a row here and there and then doing 2 days in a row or more... so yeah. It's a thing I should have been doing forever and now I'm doing it and it helps during quarantine. 

Night Lights- This one is a little weird... but I have 2 lamps that I use towards the end of the night when I have the lights out to try to get me ready for bed... and I feel like its exciting when I turn the lights on and get ready for sleep. I use a salt lamp and a neon lightning bolt. It's fun! 



Life Scribbles 

There aren't a lot of Life Scribbles these days... basically I played some Animal Crossing, celebrated Mother's Day... We had takeout a few times. I watched New Girl... I don't know what day was what this whole time so I'm not sure how I'm going to keep up with these life scribbles right now... but I'll try. 

Noteworthy Snacks 

Cool Ranch Doritos... I LOVE these! I've mentioned these in many a noteworthy snack I'm sure. 

Also Crunchy Cheetos... only sophisticated stuff here. 

So for an actually not well known fave- Cookies from Delicious Orchards for mothers day... they have the best cookies. We got a tray with a bunch of different ones- I had 2 oatmeals and then a bunch of other desserts... we had a lot of really good desserts! 

TV Highlights 

New Girl obviously... I liked the finale of Season 6 a lot. 

Also I watched the last 2 episodes of Single Parents... that's a good show. Same creators of New Girl too- so if you like one you might like the other. 

The Masked Singer has been great too... but I don't know who most of the singers are when they're unmasked sooo... yeah. 

I also kind of like the virtual American Idol but... I'm also a little bored by it so... I'm not sure. I liked the Disney songs... and I think Johnny West is really good. 

News and World Events 

Most of the news is scary right now... but I have heard some good things. 

I don't have a link to the story- but there was a FedEx delivery worker that gave cupcakes to a little girl that had her birthday during this... it was really sweet. There are a lot of delivery workers making the best of this- so thank them from a safe distance. I want to sidewalk chalk something for me. It was really nice. 


Thoughts 

This took me a long time to write this blog... I was supposed to post it Sunday but I'm just going to post it right when I'm done. That's not deep or profound I just needed to say it. 

Clickables 
I didn't really watch that much this week on youtube... so I don't have any. I've been bingewatching New Girl a lot this week... I'll probably post something next week. 

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...
