So I'm Turning 29 in Quarantine... Probably

Alright- this blog might be a little premature but it's just kind of a fact I've come to realize and... these are just my thoughts on it. 

So when Quarantine started it was my boyfriend's 24th birthday... it was St. Patrick's Day- the stores we work at weren't closed yet- but restaurants just closed- so we could only have dinner at my parent's house and they got him a cake and a St.Patrick's Day Frog Cupcake... so that was really nice- but I thought I was glad my birthday didn't happen then... and honestly I'm glad his birthday happened at the start before everything was totally shut down. 

And now it's towards the end of July and I've just realized... Ohhh... my birthday will be in Quarantine. And likely.... the last year of my 20s will be... a lot different than what I would want it to be. 

So obviously there are a lot worse things going on in the world right now- I'm not complaining about this... it's just a really weird reality to accept. And it isn't like I've been wild in my 20s... but I'd like to go out and have a few drinks with friends for my 29th birthday. I don't really have a lot of friends so it'd only be a few people... and I still probably could do something but... it's just sad that maybe I can't. 

And in reality... I'll probably just tell people I'm turning 26 again... and I'll do a redo of this 29th birthday when I turn 31...and I'll probably have a few more 29th birthdays after that because... I do lie about my age sometimes haha... age is just a number... and I don't think my denial of my actual age is harmful... just a little confusing. And yes- if you can see my math I am dating a younger man so... it makes sense for me to lie about my age anyway... lol. 

Alright those are just my thoughts! 

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...
