Happy Thursday!! Hope everyone’s week is going well. I’m back today with a bit of randomness to catch us up on. Thanks Amanda for the link up.
- Last weekend my parents were in town. I wrote up a little post on some places to check out if you are ever in Philadelphia. Despite my not being into history too much, I find it more fun to go to a museum or actually walk the streets where history was made and Philadelphia certainly has a lot of that. I think I enjoy it so much more now also knowing there is not a test I have to prepare for at the end of a tour.
2. On another note, I also had my first taste of an acai bowl on Friday evening as dinner part 1. It was definitely delicious!
3. Changing the subject, who is excited for Gilmore Girls coming back??!! Check out the trailer. OMG I am sooo excited!! I hope it lives up to my expectations.
4. I did some “adulting” yesterday, changing the battery in the smoke alarm that decided to start beeping at 4am when I still had at least 30 minutes more I could have slept before going to the gym at 5am. I moved to the couch and tried to sleep for those next 30 minutes but it wasn’t the same. I also had to borrow a ladder from a friend since I only have a tiny stool. I carried this ladder home about half a mile from my friend’s apartment (I live in a big complex).
5. I then drove the ladder back and also filled up my tires with air because we went from 80 degree temps last week to 55 degree temps this week and my tires are super sensitive to that. I understand though, my body is sensitive to the changing temps too.
6. I ended up staying for dinner at my friend’s apartment which was great to start a relaxing evening. Then it was back home to make lunch for today and curl up on the couch to read. Since getting sick a few weeks ago, I fell back into the habit of turning on the TV a little too much during the week so trying to cut that out again and spend time reading instead.
Do you like Gilmore Girls?
What is your idea of a relaxing evening? Sometimes I take a hot salt bath and then I like to go under all the blankets and sink into the couch.

My idea of a relaxing evening is one spent at home with my family (furry and… well… furry, lol) with dinner and some TV or a board game. Basically, one where we shut the world out!
Question about acai bowls: are they really sweet? I just feel like it would be a sugar bomb..
Alicia says
I love your relaxing evening. I haven’t played a board game in forever. The Acai bowl was pretty sweet. All the fruit plus the honey on top. I think I would prefer to make them at home and control the sweetness a bit. It was delicious though!

I’m the worst Philadelphia transplant ever- I haven’t done half the things on the list you posted, lol. Sooooo excited for the GG reunion episodes- 1 month to go!
Alicia says
HAHA it’s funny how you can live somewhere and not explore your own backyard. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, but I didn’t go to the top of the Sears (willis) tower until I was in college. If it weren’t for my mom, I probably wouldn’t even know about some of those Philadelphia museums. They were fun to see though. And yay for 1 month until Gilmores!!

I loved Gilmore Girls! Brings me back to my high school day <3 I can't wait to watch!
AmberLynn says
So stoked for Gilmore Girls, but also so sad that my mom and sister each live far away from me and each other, so it will be hard for us to “watch together”.
Alicia says
Awww that’s cool how you made it a family thing before. Maybe over the holidays you can get together and watch it.
Brea says
I haven’t seen Gilmore Girls. Honestly, with Netflix and Hulu…I got mixed up and thought everyone has been talking about Golden Girls. I do love Betty White, but the show was totally overrated. I’ll have to check it out!
Alicia says
HAHA yes I love Betty White as well. You will have to check it out
