Things To Be Excited About This Fall! 2020

 Alright... so maybe this fall won't be as exciting as other falls... but I feel like that will give us more to be excited about and more to do. Maybe we won't get to see all the excited Horror Movies that were supposed to come out- but we can stay home and watch our favorites or some that we've maybe missed. Maybe trick or treating will be different- but I think it can still be done in a socially distant way. I'm sure there are a lot of things to enjoy this fall that will be the same as other years. 

One thing I would love to do that I'm pretty sure will be very safe if it is open is pumpkin picking and apple picking... and I think I would like to do that this year. I would also be excited to paint pumpkins and make a recipe with the apples. If I do go pumpkin or apple picking lol. 

There's also this cider drink that my dad made last year. We got Delicious Orchards apple cider... which is the best Apple Cider and we used Smirnoff Caramel Vodka with it and it tasted really good. They actually tried it at a restaurant they like called Bahrs but... it tasted really good when we made it at home too. I think we even got fancy and rimmed the glass with Cinnamon Sugar. So so good! 

I like wearing Flannel! I'm really excited to start wearing it- it's been getting a little chilly here and since Outdoor dining has been our only option and they aren't resuming indoor dining till Friday... which I'm excited about but I still might choose to eat outside at some places. It's nice. But yeah Flannel is a really fun and cute thing to wear in the fall. Not totally sure I pull it off... but I wear it anyway. 

Fall Fashion in general is my favorite. I love those nice, warm colors. I just think they're really pretty. I'm excited for my Style Saturday's. 

I'm also trying to find a good pair of boots to wear. I bought a pair from target... but they're heels and I'm going to have to return them cause I can't walk in them comfortably. 

I'm excited for a new season in Animal Crossing! Particularly seeing how the season looks in the game... Plus all of the mushroom crafting. I haven't played for a few weeks but I have a feeling I will be playing every day now. Especially with the rumored updates... it just sounds really good. 

Also I think I'm going to start reading horror books and Harry Potter for halloween. My coworker lent me a horror book of hers and I need to finish that... but there are also a lot more books I want to read. Grady Hendrix, Stephen King... so many books actually that I need to read. I'm excited. 

And TV too. I don't know if many shows will be back... but I know they have the second season of The Haunting of Hill House... I also need to watch the first season... but I think that will be a fun, spooky show. Plus the Bachelorette is going to be back and idk about that one. From the sounds of it they should call it The Bachelorette:  Sloppy Seconds Edition... but it might be good. 

I'm also excited for my birthday! I actually took off that week from work so I'm excited for a little vacation- I probably won't go anywhere but I'll probably do a lot! 

And... yeah that's about it. It's September 1st- the start of the first month of fall... and I'm ready for it! 

Bye!

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
