The Day Off Chronicles. 9.22.20

 So... I thought I'd write about my day today. I kind of want to get back to my youtube channel and do "Day Off Vlogs" but... I thought I would do a day off chronicles here today because... "Today is one of those days" as my niece said today. 

So yeah I woke up around 10 or so... my mom told me to get up because I was going with her to pick up my niece from school and then we were going to my grandmother's house and we were planning on having a little pizza party at her house. There was a problem though... Our Pizza Place is closed on Tuesdays currently! So we ended up going to Chilli's. We took out some Classic Nachos, the Southwest Eggrolls... which I don't like... and some chips and salsa. It was all pretty good! I love Chilli's! 

Then I had a foot doctor appointment and the toenail I lost a few months ago is growing back nicely! Yayy and Eww! Sorry TMI but I'm super happy with how it is growing and I want to keep it that way! 

Anyway after that my sister came over to the house to pick up my niece and she saw someone post that she found Lysol. It's my grandmother's 90th birthday tomorrow and she uses Lysol for EVERYTHING and it's been really hard to get for her now so we bought a couple of cans for her. She's going to be so excited tomorrow lol. 

And my niece was mostly good today and well behaved but she did get a little wild and... there was a lot of chaos in the house. She was jumping on the couch and my sister and I were trying to get her to stop and she got mad at us and she said "NO I WANT TO BE MAD. YOU ATE MY LITTLE DAY!" I guess she didn't know how to say "ruined" so she said "ate" which was cute. She forgave us a few minutes later and was laughing and playing again. 

And after she left my mom and I went to the Outlet mall by us. This isn't a place I've really loved going to a lot during the pandemic because... there are so many people not wearing their masks or not keeping them on outside... which sucks. But I went to the Converse store- ended up getting a pair of Mint Green High Tops for $16 which was awesome. And then I got some Vera Bradley face masks- which are great. Super comfortable and pretty! 

The funny thing that happened at the outlets was the obnoxious woman at Starbucks... I guess most people there were obnoxious because I walked in and no one told me they were in line or they were just waiting... so there was no line I was just waiting for no reason... and then I just asked some lady if she ordered and she said yes and so then I figured out where the line was and waited there. Then some lady with 2 loud malteses walks in. I was trying to get in the store before she got in there because... I didn't want her to get in front of me in line... and then she asked some other lady that I wasn't trying to cut to hold the door open for her so that she could bring her dogs in their strollers inside... which is fine but... dogs aren't allowed in Starbucks because they can't drink coffee lol. Only service dogs were allowed at that location. Not only that- but the woman left the stroller with the two dogs in the corner of Starbucks by themselves. While they were barking very loudly and the stroller was moving so... like the dogs could have bit someone. They told her the dogs weren't allowed... but... she still said "I'm just placing an order" so... she ordered and then stepped outside with her dogs. And she still got in line ahead of me somehow. And then someone was pulling down their mask and using one of the napkins as a tissue and blowing her nose... A LOT. Which... 1) do outside 2) STAY HOME IF YOU FEEL LIKE THAT 3) SERIOUSLY YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AT STARBUCKS! 

Ugh. Anyway then I went home and ate some leftovers for dinner while watching Dancing With The Stars and writing this blog. I also apparently had some Hot Cash coupon codes that I didn't spend yet... so I bought a Loungefly Nightmare Before Christmas Backpack and a Nightmare Before Christmas Wallet. 

So... yeah! I think that's about it. I might make some popcorn... and I need to take a bath. Chill night... from a chaotic day that was "Just One Of Those Days." 

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...
