Catching Up

TV Show Addictions: 
I have several shows I have become addicted to because of Netflix. One of those being Pretty Little Liars. I started watching it last summer when I moved into the apartment. It was a show about high schoolers, but it was intriguing because it was a mystery, drama, romantic comedy all in one. I couldn't stop watching it because I wanted to know what happened next.
I also became addicted to Once Upon a Time, which is a show I've already given you my review of on the blog. I love all the fairy-tale stories all mixed into one modern-day tale. If you like Disney fairy-tales, you will probably really enjoy this show.
Lastly, I enjoy Jane the Virgin. There is only one season of the show on Netflix, and the second season just finished up on regular TV. It's a romantic-comedy of a Hispanic twenty-something and her family. It's based around her becoming pregnant and having a baby, but it's much more than that. It's quite funny and includes many cliff-hangers as well.

What You're Wearing:
On Saturday I went to a yard sale and a peddler's mall with some fellow Twenty-Somethings, worked a 5.5 hour shift, and saw my beau. It was a really great day because I was finally free from school work for the semester! I could do whatever I wanted and not have homework hanging over my head. Yay! Needless to say, my first homework-free Saturday was really nice.

After work (this is what I wore)...
I went to Chuy's with my beau..we LOVE eating there
Fave Thing to Do on a Sunday:
I love going to church every Sunday. Singing and praising God, "fellowship" with others and learning to think more like Christ are all is something I really enjoy. I also really love spending time with my beau on Sundays. The first day of the week is a great day to kick back and relax, visit with family and eat good food. Oftentimes I spend Sundays in my beau's neck of the woods. This past Sunday we were able to buy some flowers at a local greenhouse (and put some hanging baskets up on his porch), visit his sister and her family and visit with his parents too. We got to play with his little niece and be entertained by her for a couple of hours. I think there will be some baby-sitting in my future this summer. I adore little kids.
See one of the baskets in the background? :)
FUN: 
Yesterday I was invited over to my bff from high school's house for dinner and a visit. She wanted us to make a recipe out of a cook book I had given her. It was a Whoopie Pie cook book. So, we went to make the traditional chocolate pies with a marshmallow buttercream filling. This was our "double-boiler" method of melting the marshmallows (photo below). It was interesting. haha It did finally melt the mallows though. I didn't get a photo of the pies themselves, but you can kind of see them in the background of the photo. She is a sweets addict, more so than me even, so she didn't think the chocolate "pies" were sweet enough..so she sent them home with me and I am going to crumble them up and make cake pops. It was fun reconnecting with an old friend.

I'll try to keep better caught up after this!

Two in one

Hello friends sorry for being off the radar the past few days. It's been a kind of strange week. So I've made am executive decision, I will only be catching up on yesterday's photo and today's because it would be way too many of an overload to try and get all the ones I've missed. Okay now to the actually pictures, for the 13th day of the challenge we are supposed to show a TV show we are addicted to. Problem for me is I couldn't just pick one, instead I have narrowed it down to three.
Number 1 is a new current addiction saying as the show only came out a month ago. The show is called Strong. It is a real life type show that follows ten regular women who get selected to participate in a program called Strong. Strong is a fitness show that has the women paired up with one male trainer. The trainers all vary in the type of fitness they focus on and do best with. So it's kinda cool to see the different training styles. Throughout each week there are a couple challenges each team partakes in against all the other teams. The losing team of the challenge automatically gets sent to the elimination tower and the winning team gets to decide which team will go against the losing team in the tower. So every week one team gets sent home. Unfortunately the team I was rooting for to win just got sent home last week. But there are still five teams remaining it will be interesting to see who wins.


Number 2 is another newish show called Limitless. Season one just ended two weeks ago and I'm really hoping CBS picks it back up for another season. The premise of this show is that humans only use ten percent of their brain function. So the show is following a man named Brian Finch who gets recruited by the FBI to help solve cases. The cool thing though is Brian is able to take a pill called nzt. This pill helps Brian use the other 90 percent of his brain to see things in different ways that help the FBI solve these cases.

Number 3 is Criminal Minds. I got into this show my senior year of highschool when I was taking a geography class that my younger sister convinced me to take with her. Ever since then any time I get the chance I will watch this show. Sometimes however I make the mistake of watching it right before bedtime which causes me but to be able to sleep very well at all.To be very brief because I think most of you know at least a little about this show. The show follows a sector of the FBI called behavior analysis unit. The people on the team are able to use their unique knowledge and skill sets that enable them to see how serial killers, psychopaths, and just plain murders behave and think and then they are able to stop the killings.


Okay so now onto the 14th photo for the challenge, what I'm wearing. Since it is almost 1 o'clock in the morning I decided it would be more interesting to have a picture of what I wore today instead of what I'm currently wearing. To be honest though the clothing is very similar minus the blue jeans.


Well that's all for now. I'm going to try my darnedest to keep up with the daily picture post for the rest of the month. We shall see how that goes. Goodnight, Captain signing off.
