Friday Favorites 1.24.25

Okay a sad week- I had to say goodbye to my dog Spencer and it was really sad and I’m still grieving and adjusting to life without my little buddy. But there are still a few things that I’ve been liking this week and here is what they are!

After finishing My Name Is Earl- I decided to put on Greg Garcia’s follow up series which I have heard is his best… Raising Hope. I love this show so far- this was what I needed to watch it’s so sweet and so funny. It’s about a young man who has a one night stand with someone who ends up being a serial killer- he turns her in and she ends up getting the chair… but first she gives birth to a baby girl that she names Princess Beyoncé. Jimmy- our lovable simple main character ends up being a single dad and raising this baby with his parents who are young parents themselves and don’t know a lot about babies- and his great grandma who seems to be getting Alzheimer’s and is only lucid for brief moments at a time. It’s really funny- a lot of cameos from the My Name Is Earl cast and there are some references to the show… this is a great follow up and I think it’s even better than My Name Is Earl.

I’ve also been watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I think I’m on season 3 right now- I think I’ve watched up to season 6… maybe a little further than that… but this is also a really fun show and it’s funny to see how it started. After seeing the Abbot Elementary crossover episode I wanted to go back and watch it… and I’m excited for the Always Sunny episode to come out.

I’ve been drinking the Oats Overnight shakes. I tried one from Target and then I got a few more at Whole Foods. So far I like most of the flavors I’ve tried. The maple one is probably my favorite and then the fruity pebbles is pretty good too. It’s easy- you just mix it together and then keep it in the fridge and drink it in the morning. It keeps me pretty full and energized in the morning- which is great.

I also got some snacks from target. I got the Dot’s Pretzels flavor variety pack and I got some of the trail mix flavors… all really good. I got the peanut butter monster mix in the little packets so I can take to work and got the sweet and salty Cajun to eat at home. I also got a churro one but I didn’t try it yet.

I’ve also been wearing 2 very special Erstwilder brooches this week. The Marvin the Maltese brooches of corse- I have a regular one which I think is the first brooch I ever bought and the mini version- which my mom has been wearing too. Our dog was a Maltese and it’s making it feel like Spencer is still here with us… even though it’s hard. He will always be in our hearts.

Alright hopefully this week is a bit better- I’m going to try to have a better week this week. I’m seeing Flight Risk today hopefully… I’m sure that will be fun!

Bye!
