The Daily Something

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...

So NBC's been killing it with their shows lately... and I have to say... I think Good Girls is my favorite... but I just can't stop thinking about Rise! Here are some things I love about it! Josh Radner's Acting Abilities Finally Shine!  I'm a fan of How I Met Your Mother... and I'm one of the rare people that actually really did like Ted Mosby as a character... and Josh Radner is talented... but despite being the main character of How I Met Your Mother... he kind of faded into the backround with the very over the top comedic performances of all the other characters. Radnor kept it grounded and I think that's a hard thing to do with all of those other characters. That being said... it's hard to tell whether or not he's the best actor... that's the only thing I've seen him in and... he was okay but I always thought he was trying to be more of a director. In this show- I think he really is his character. I think his actual passion for the sho...

Monday 5.15.17 Today was a nice day… you know some days that you thought were going to be kind of bad but they end up being pretty okay… that’s what Monday’s always feel like for me. Everyone is always like “Ohhh the Monday’s!” But I think we just have to look forward to Mondays… its a little stressful… but you just relaxed from the weekend and now you can do whatever you have to do with that little bit of relaxation or fun memory from the weekend. Lol.    Tuesday 5.16.17  It was an okay day I guess… I can’t really remember much of what happened… I think I got a lot of blogs done this way… yeah- I actually felt productive today… it was good! And I ordered stuff from Ulta I think… and it was just a really good day.  Wednesday 5.17.17  Long day today… very fussy niece. Otherwise everything was good and we did have a little bit of fun too… I made her laugh and smile and talk… but she was fussing!  Thursday 5.18.17  Thursday is when I’...

I feel like A LOT of shows were cancelled this year... and I actually did a lot of reviews on them... at the beginning of the TV season I was all set to watch EVERY PREMIERE and review each show... whether I had seen it or not... but that was extremely difficult. I did end up watching at least one episode of a lot of shows though... so that was good too I guess. I have some insight into these shows!  I'll also talk about what got renewed next week maybe because... why not? ABC  Abc had the most casualties so let's start there  American Crime - This won ABC multiple Emmy's and got rave reviews since season 1... but the ratings weren't as amazing. I didn't really like how season 1 ended at all... there was no real closure... all of the characters were kind of bad people... and it was just really hard to watch so while I did watch the whole first season... it wasn't that enjoyable. I heard season 2 was better (from my sister) and Season 3 got a lot of cri...

Monday 5.8.17 So on these Scribbles I kind of wanted to talk about Saturday and Sunday too… but I’m not this week… I might do that eventually but… not this week. I just decided to start on Monday because that’s how I timed it…  And I wanted to talk about timing today anyway because that was sort of the theme for the day… if you just do one thing that’s a little bit not on time… everything can be ruined and people can be really unhappy… or if you get everything just right- everything will be perfect and everyone will be very happy. I had one of those days for the day… not  absolutely amazing or life changing…not terrible or life changing that way either… just sort of… timing made or broke this day… don’t really want to say which because I want to be mysterious… but yeah. That’s how Monday happened!    Tuesday 5.9.17  Now… I want to shift into internet stalking… but I don’t want to seem like a creep… lol. I feel like I’ve been on both sides th...

Monday May 1st 2017.  I missed doing Scribbles last weekend too! What the heck! Here’s what I think I’m going to do from now on… If I get to Scribbles and The Weekly Wrap Up during the week- I’ll write them and post them… if I don’t get to them during the week… I’m not going to write on the weekends… I don’t have a problem with writing these blogs… it still makes me happy… but I would rather not write these blogs on the weekend. I don’t always have the time too… and I don’t always feel like it… so it isn’t a matter of “This doesn’t make me happy” or “This stresses me out.” I just feel like I’ll be a little bit happier not blogging on the weekends. It sounds wayyy more fun to me.  Today I watched my niece… it is incredibly hot in the house right now! Idk why- it is the first really nice few days of the year in the state of NJ… so I guess that’s why it seems so hot lately… and I have allergies so I kind of feel bad. So that’s a thing.  I finished watching Grace a...

So I'm changing things up a little bit because I thought I could make these posts a little bit better so... we'll see how that goes. Monday was a good day... start of the week... not terrible for me. I know a lot of people don't like Mondays because it is the beginning of the week... but it's also the day after easter... I was an okay with that. It felt like part of a holiday still... of corse I don't actually work so there's that. My niece did come over and my mom and I watch her on Mondays... but my dad was home too so he watched her too. So it was just a nice day. It was a good day... and I don't have anything more to say about that. Tuesday was a more exciting day... I went to Target... and Target is a wonderful, wonderful place! I ended up getting a moleskin journal, some pens and some stamps and some sequins. The Sequins are for my blog and IG pictures... the other stuff is for my bullet journal... which I'm kind of loving right now. It's a...

Scribbles: 4.8.17  Saturday 4.1  April Fool’s Day! I watched Trial and Error with my mom and grandmother… and it was really funny. I love that show and could watch it over and over and over again. And then we went out for Hibachi and that was really, really good too! We had a great time!  Sunday 4.2  I went out for lunch with my parents and I had chicken fingers and a milkshake… then I went to Ulta… went babysitting at my sister’s house and then for dinner with my friend and her puppy and I had chicken fingers and a shake again pretty much lol. It was great! I had a Fried Chicken Fingers and Sweet Corn Mash Bowl from Brick Wall and a Nutella shake for dessert.  Since we went with her dog, who is a super adorable Corgi puppy… everyone stopped by and said “OMG he’s the cutest!” And… it was a little bit much… lol. We still talked and had a good time… but seriously if you see a bunch of people approach someone with a cute dog… maybe let them live th...

Saturday 3.25 I went to my sister's house to watch the baby and then my parents and I went out to dinner. The baby gave the biggest smiles and laughs, it was so cute! I was just talking to her and smiling at her, and she was just so cute! Sunday 3.26 Went to my sisters again for a little bit and my parents and I went out for breakfast. I had nutella pancakes and it was really good! Monday 3.27  Again... saw my sister and baby. Baby was cute... It was good! Tuesday 3.28  Went to Target and Harmon and stayed home after that and worked on my blogs mostly. It was good! Wednesday 3.29  My sister wanted me to come over as soon as possible that day... so we left early, and that was fun. She was good, she smiled most of the time. Thursday 3.30  Again, at my sisters... went a little bit later than usual... but it was a good visit and we had fun. She was smiling and cute. Friday 3.31  And Friday! I ate lunch at a good Deli nearby... and then went to th...

Saturday 3/ 18  My sister came over with her baby for a little bit! I watched some of Moana before she came over, so that was a lot of fun! I love that movie. I love seeing my sister and her baby also... if you haven't guessed from everything I've been posting lately. My mom and dad made Corned Beef and Cabbage... which I don't like so I ate leftovers... it was good. Sunday 3/19  We went up to see my sister and the baby! She was smiling and she's starting to coo a little bit. She was just so cute and awake and alert. It was a lot of fun. She's a little more alert every time we see her, it's adorable. She's starting to mimic now too, so if you smile at her, she'll smile back at you. So sweet. Monday 3/20  We went up to see my sister again. I read some Amelia Bedelia  to the baby... one of my favorites as a kid! If you've never read Amelia Bedelia, she's a maid that takes things very literally. Like if you ask her to Steak the Beans in y...

Saturday 3.11  Saturday I went to Target I think and then I went out to eat at a nice restaurant with my parents and grandmother. My food was really good, so it was especially nice. I liked it a lot! Sunday 3.12  Sunday I visited my sister and the baby. The baby is growing up so fast! She's getting so smart... I was amazed at how many changes we saw this week. She's got her nursery ready- it took a little while because she was early... and she's looking around at things in her room. So cute. Monday 3.13  Saw her again today. Not quite as long, but I still got to see her face, she's a cutie! Tuesday 3.14  Tuesday was supposed to be a blizzard... but there was no blizzard, it was just very very windy! So it was kind of a snow day... but not really. Most places were closed down due to the weather... even though there was no snow... it was a cold day, but it was okay. I just stayed home, cleaned my room I think and watched Friends. Maybe I cleaned my room on S...

Saturday 3.4 Saturday was fun! My parents and I babysat my niece... so she was over all day. My sister and her husband got a night out, so we were watching her by ourselves and that was a lot of fun for us and for them. She was really good too. She cries a lot, but she was pretty good for us! My parents and I are pretty good at getting her to stop crying. It's really fun to be an aunt. Sunday 3.5  Sunday... we went up to my sister's house to see the baby again!!! It was good! The baby was asleep pretty much the whole time, but both of my parents got to hold her and she was good. My sister got some things done around the house. Monday 3.6  I went to see my sister... shocking right? Lol. The baby was in her little baby swing the whole time pretty much and my mom and I were the DJ's because she starts fussing when the music on the machine stops playing. It was fun! She's a cutie. And I got coffee with my friend and we hung out and looked at Franchesca's and talk...

Saturday 2.25  Today we had friends over for dinner. We were celebrating one of our friends birthdays and we just caught up, ate some roast beef and it was all nice and fun! They were over for a while! It was good! We had fun! I watched some crazy ex girlfriend, I cleaned the bathroom and started listening to the soundtrack for Dear Evan Hansen... which was really good so far! I've just been listening to musical soundtracks lately, I've been listening to The Great Comet of 1812 and I finished that... so now I'm just watching a little bit of everything! Sunday 2.26  Sunday my sister and niece stopped over! She picked up the handprint paperweight that she made with the baby and we got one as well! So cute! We talked a little and watched the baby and played with her and we watched the Oscars a little bit! The baby looks a little bigger and different every time we see her now! She's got a lot of hair! She's so cute! Also I did a recap of the Oscars already... but ...

Saturday 2.18  I went to my sister's house and we went shopping at Ulta a little bit and then we just stayed and watched the baby. She was asleep most of the time... she's such a cutie! Sunday 2.19  My sister, her husband and the baby came over here because they were getting her handprint done as a paperweight at Hot Sands, which isn't far from us so they came over here afterwords and then later that night I went out with my friend and we went on a walk and then I had Chicken and Waffles at the Ale House.. so that was really yummy! Monday 2.20  I honestly forget what I did this day... I might have seen my sister and the baby? I think we did... but I can't remember! It was a good day either way... I'm just not quite sure what happened. Tuesday 2.21  I think I was home most of the day... Not quite sure. Wednesday 2.22  Again... think I stayed home pretty much all day. My friend texted me asking if I'd go to a bridal show with her and I got dressed and...

Saturday 2.11.17 Ugh... Okay so real time... it's Thursday now... and I don't totally remember what happened the rest of this week. I'm pretty sure I just went to Harmon to get shaving cream on Saturday. I ended up getting a bubble bath thing as well that is a stress relieving thing... spoiler alert... I love it! It's probably going to be on my Monday Must Haves on my other blog and on my Weekly Wrap up as a favorite. It's Dr. Teals Relax and Relief Eucalyptus Spearmint... so so good! My mom tried it too and she likes it. I also had chinese food too for dinner... sooo good! We just rediscovered a place near us that has good Chinese food! Sunday 2.12.17 Sunday I went up to see my sister and my baby niece! The baby was up the whole time, my parents and I all got to hold her... she was just being cute as can be... We watched some of Finding Dory too which was cute. Not one of my favorite Pixar Movies... but it is still a pixar movie, which means it is better th...

Saturday 2.4  Today I cleaned my room a little more, if you saw last week's Scribbles, you know that was the big theme of the week. We had some friends over for Christmas... that's how far behind we were... lol. It was a lot of fun. We caught up and exchanged gifts and it was really nice. Sunday 2.5  Superbowl Sunday! My parents always have a party to celebrate with our family friends... and this year my sister brought her baby! She was so cute, my brother in law put little earmuffs on her to protect her little ears from Spencer. She did meet Spencer and pet his fur... but she was asleep. It was fun to see her and it was nice that it was the first time at our house. The first time my parents friends and my grandfather got to see her. I did a whole post about what I thought about the Super Bowl right  here! Monday 2.6  Went over to my sister's house to see the baby again. We watched her when my sister took a shower and did her hair and stuff like that. My mo...

Saturday 1/28  This was kind of a boring day... but a fun one. I just stayed in my room and watched Crazy Ex Girlfriend all day. It was amazing! Sunday 1/29  I went to my sister's house and saw my newborn niece! She was really awake and my mom and dad were talking to her most of the time. It's just so fun to see newborns and how they react to how you talk to them and when they cry and stuff. A lot of things will probably be about newborns in these scribbles... fair warning! I also watched Twisted from Starkid... that was really good. And I re-watched A Very Potter Musical. So good! Monday 1/30  Today I cleaned my room... all... day! It was kind of needed, I really don't like having a messy room... but I also have a lot of stuff, a small room and I hate cleaning it... so that was kind of what happened there. And I ended up catching up on some Jane The Virgin and some Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. I really like both of these shows! Both funny and great... I wat...

Saturday 1/14  I saw my niece again today. She is the cutest little baby! She was a little fussier today than she had been before. Lot's of "Waaaaahhhhhhh" which was cute. We sang Wheels on the Bus to her... it was a fun day. I finished watching A Series of Unfortunate Events too. I think I'm going to watch it again... but like each part day by day in 4 days because I think that might be better... and then I'm going to pick up where I left off in the books I think, which is book 5 and then on from there... just because I really want to finish it. I don't think I need to reread the first 4 books because I remember them pretty well... and I just watched the show. I have to admit... I was a little bit Disappointed in Sir.  They said that you couldn't see his face because it was covered in smoke I was hoping they would do that on the show too because I liked that imagery in the book... so that was what I was most looking forward to and in turn what I ...
