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!

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...
