Throwback Thursday: My First Valentine's Day With My Boyfriend

 Alright so... my boyfriend and I have always had a fun Valentine's Day. We don't always like to celebrate big on the actual day because our half-anniversary is on the 16th. So the first year we were together we didn't think we'd be able to celebrate on Valentine's Day... so we were going to celebrate on the 16th... and last year I closed on Valentine's Day- so we couldn't really do anything until the 16th. This year I'm not really sure what we're doing but... idk. I'd be happy doing something any day. The half year marker... idk I still kind of like celebrating it even though we've been together a while... so I like that Valentine's Day falls around that time. 

Anyway... so I don't want to tell the whole story of the first year... but I'll tell the funny bits of info that I think you'll laugh at. 

So... he was supposed to have jury duty... but they ended up not needing him... so that all in its own is kind of funny that our first Valentine's Day could have been him in Jury Duty. 

But...yeah it was good cause I got out of work early and we ended up going to the movies. And he had some coupons so we went ALL OUT on the snacks. We got the large popcorn... I think we got one large drink to share and we got a pretzel. And the Pretzel was taking a really long time to get or maybe it was the popcorn or something... but we were already kind of late and at this point we missed the previews... but anyways... it was all good. 

So when we were grabbing the soda... I think they filled it up a little too high with ice... or maybe we just messed up but knowing the movie theater we went to... it was probably their fault. And I'm not one to blame the service industry for stuff... but... yeah. I think it was their fault. 

ANYWAY I digress... of corse when the soda is handed to us it immediately SPILLS ALL OVER THE FLOOR! And everyone just looks at us and laughs. THEY LAUGH! Lol. It's funny. One woman commented "That is how this day is." Or something... which seemed insulting but Aspen and I are just the cutest couple ever so clearly that's not it. 

Anyway... that's our kind of cute story of our first Valentine's Day. And I hope we'll have another fun story this year! But it won't be us spilling anything at the movies because we only watch movies at home for the time being. 

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...
