Weekly Wrap Up 7.19.20

Favorites 

Animal Crossing- I played this game pretty much all day for the last 2 days. I know this is always a favorite- but I really like how my island is turning out... it's really coming together and it looks really good now! I feel like I have a lot of room! 

The Two Lives of Lydia Bird- I wanted to read a few books this week... and that didn't totally happen but I did pick up this book again by Josie Silver. It's just a sweet book and it isn't really making me sad anymore. 

Yoga- I've been doing Yoga every once and a while... I have to say I was really lazy the last couple of days and I haven't done it... but I think I'll try another yoga video after I finish this. I've been doing Yoga With Adrienne Videos because she's just a really great teacher and her videos are just easy and fun. 

Friends- So I haven't watched as much Friends as I did during the quarantine... but I did still watch quite a bit of Friends. It's a really great show. And I watched some of the last season- which is really funny. The One With Ross's Tan is one of my favorite episodes... it's so funny. I think I would do the same thing as Ross- which is why I don't Tan. 

I watched a lot of The Office too... so that's a favorite too... but I kind of always watch that when it's on... I always watch Friends when it's on too... but yeah. Good stuff. 

Life Scribbles 

So I had vacation from work this week! So I kind of did nothing... and I can't believe I have to go back tomorrow already... but it was fun! 

I went in the pool a lot, I did go shopping quite a bit. I saw my boyfriend a couple of times which was great. I went to my grandmother's house and we got Chili's classic nachos for lunch... which were delicious! 

So for the shopping I went to the Outlets... which I don't think I want to go back to anytime soon. Not a lot of people wearing masks properly if at all... including some workers that worked in the stores there. I did get a few things from Express- which was great. And I got to go to Target and I got a few things there. They have some super cute jewelry right now! 

And that's it... just kind of relaxing. All very good. 

Noteworthy Snacks 

So I mentioned Chili's classic Nachos- which were great... and I also went to Frutta Bowls a couple of times... and I really love them! Particularly the Frutta Bowl- that's what I always order! Its sooo good! 

And I went to Panchero- which is kind of like Chipotle but I prefer Panchero! I got a Burrito Bowl with Chicken... and if you want to know the full order Rice, Black Beans, Chicken Corn Salsa and USUALLY I get Pico- but I accidentally ordered Mild instead and Queso and Sour Cream. It was really good. 

Famous Amos Cookies is another thing- they actually show him on an episode of The Office... which I saw this week and then needed the cookies. 

My mom also found these Kahlua mixed drinks. They have White Russians and Mudslides... I preferred the White Russian because it was a bit more flavorful. 

And Stewarts drinks. Right now I'm drinking the Orange n Cream which is a super nostalgic flavor to me because it reminds me of this hot dog stand that I used to go to with my grandparents in Buttzville (lol) NJ... It's called Hot Dog Johnny's and I actually looked up the website and was surprised it was updated so well. I think I had an orange creamsicle Ice Cream Bar when I went there and this just brings me RIGHT back there. 

And Funions... these are just my favorite as of late... I really like them! 

TV Highlights 

There's a new show called United We Fall that came on this week... It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. But if you remember the show Taina from Nickelodeon- Taina is the mom on the show... and she's really funny and she looks the same. It's exciting to see her again. 

Thoughts 

Nostalgia... it's a good thing. I'm still drinking that Stewarts drink right now and it's just a cool feeling to remember that hot dog stand so vividly. 

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...
