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!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
