Weekly Wrap Up:7.26.20

Favorites 

The House on Hurley Pond Road- So my coworker lent me this book a few months ago... and I really like it! It's actually a really scary true story of a house that isn't all that far from where I live. It's written by Darren Fitzgerald and Michael S. Burke... so far I've read up to Darren's encounter living in the house. It's really scary! I think I might read more horror books leading up to Halloween! 

Baby Yoda from Build a Bear- I broke down and ordered the Build a Bear Baby Yoda... and it is adorable! 
Yoga- So Yoda- and Yoga are favorites! I've actually been getting a little bit better and I've actually been doing it almost every day- so that's really good. I think I've mentioned I've been following Yoga With Adrienne's channel and I've been doing her 30 days of Yoga from 2015. It's really good! So far I think I've only missed 2 days since I started with the first video so I'm on Day 7... but I started like 9 days ago. It's fun and... my slightly too big pants are now very too big. So I guess I'm losing some weight from it. 



Life Scribbles 

I worked a lot this week...A LOT! I had off last Sunday and on Friday- which was nice. Plus I came back from vacation. It was also my dog Spencer's 7th Birthday! He had Ice Cream for breakfast! Other than that I went out with my boyfriend Friday... and that was pretty much everything. 

Noteworthy Snacks 

Smart Pop Popcorn is really delicious! I hadn't really had it before- and it's been a while since I've had popcorn... so I'm pretty excited to be eating some of this. I miss popcorn at the movies... and going to the movies. I think I might never not get a movie snack again. 

TV Highlights 

So this isn't on TV- but Matt Pat from Film Theory and Game Theory started a Food Theory channel... and I actually think it's really interesting. I think my favorite episode was the one about what Fast Food French Fry is the best value. Idk I knew a lot of the food things he talked about- but I still thought it was fun to watch. 

Thoughts 
I've been working hard this week... but hard work pays off. And... that's pretty cool! 

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

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...
