I am eager to get rid of January. It was a crappy month and I like the clean slate a new month brings, even if things don't necessarily change, I feel like they do. Plus, February is birthday month! Got a few things planned. But for now, thought I'd join in on Lauren & Bre's link up with things I've been loving lately and want to recommend.
The Vicar of Dibley - my mother in law loves this show, and as we are currently living with her, I kept walking by and seeing snippets or sitting down and watching a few minutes with her. It never really seemed like my kind of show but eventually I started it from the beginning by myself and some episodes were eh and others had me laughing so hard I was crying. One episode had me crying so hard not from laughter. But overall, lots of laughter.
Even though it went from 1994-2007, it only has 5 seasons with a couple of them only having 2 or 4 episodes. So it's not a huge undertaking. It's definitely an acquired taste, but I really enjoyed it. It's a pretty silly show.
Bonus: It has Richard Armitage in it.
Aldi tortelloni & trader joes pasta sauce - look, we all have super lazy meals, right? At least mine isn't McDonalds... anymore. I used to shop at Aldi all the time back home, but I only just tried the US version and I discovered this tortelloni (I kept calling it tortellini, but apparently there's a difference). It's only $1.50, 1 package of that and half a jar of TJ's pasta sauce ($2.99) and I have dinner (for me only) in 10 minutes for $3. Sometimes if I'm feeling wild, I sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
No, it's probably not the healthiest option, but it's quick, cheap & easy. They have a cheese one if you don't dig mushrooms.
Playstation Vue - I did a post on Sling TV and literally the next day we tried out Playstation Vue and cancelled Sling. Sorry Sling. It's basically the same thing, an internet based TV service that's oodles cheaper than cable. It's more expensive than Sling ($35 a month vs $20) but it's way better - you can DVR (for 28 days), the quality is a million times better, it never cuts out, there are more channels and SUBTITLES. I'm sure there are other benefits, but those are the most important to us.
You don't need a playstation to get it, but you do need a smart TV or roku/amazon fire stick thingy etc. We just use the playstation we have, and keep the fire stick thingy with our spare TV (that is not being used right now because we are in one big room).
We have the core slim. Prices vary depending on location, so for $35 it's still like $100 cheaper than cable for us, but in some areas it might be more expensive ($50+) and your cable might be cheaper.
Loving yourself - I'm not quiet about the fact that everyone should love themselves. Life is too short to spend it with someone you don't even like. I could go on and on about it, but I saw this the other day and immediately took a screenshot. If I could wave a magic wand and make everyone accept and love themselves, I would.
So yes, I recommend loving yourself. It's the best thing I ever did for myself.
Books! I'll talk more about them in SUYB, but I've read a few good books since the last link up. Two I absolutely adored, gobbled up and wanted to live in the world and never leave. One of them is an acquired taste (fantasy romance) and the other is below - The Hating Game. I highly recommend if you like romantic comedies. It was super cute and adorable and funny and I loved it.
I can't remember who originally recommended it whether it was SUYB or another post, thank you for sharing!
Also, just a quick note to remind anyone who wants to link up with us - this Thursday the 2nd is the next What's New With You link up.
Am I the only one who does the crazy lazy dinners? Surely not... right? If you do, what's your favourite?
