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!

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...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...
