I’ve got a Fever, and the only prescription is reading..and, well, cowbell..but reading first.

Why have 1 pierogi, when you can have 34 pierogis.

Today I officialy recieved my acceptance letter to be a true Texan! Come celebrate with me!

Today I turn 31. I’m too old to play in the ball pit too young to run for President of the United States but just the right age for a quarter life crisis...join me as I attempt to reason with time.

Well ladies and gentlemen, we did it. Another All-Hallows Eve is upon us. What, if at all, do I dress up as this year? In my research for Halloween greatness I have found there to be several categories for casual dress up and yet I seem to fit in none of them (story of my life). Let us explore these unwanted categories together, shall we. Category 1: Family friendly dress up Kids make dressing up on Halloween socially accepted and more fun when you are an adult. But, unless y

Several people have asked where I have been hiding this past few months. No blogs, no videos, I have vanished once again into thin air without explanation. I do have a reason, a shotty one to be honest. A perfect trifecta of incidents has combined to cause my absence. One-part travel, one-part motivation (or lack there-of) and one-part writers block. Well, non-writer-writers block. I am not completely convinced that jotting down every weird thought or scenario that comes into

Ten days, well, a year and ten days if you want to be specific. That’s what separates my brother and I, at least in terms of age. We technically missed the term of “Irish twins” by two hands worth of fingers, which is ok, because we aren’t really twins in any other category either. William, my brother, is the older, wiser sibling. Not that it was a competition or anything, (I think both parties need to be aware of the race for it to count) but he was always 1 step ahead o

AFI # 94 Pulp Fiction (1994) I will begin each review with a “What I know, or What I Think I Know…” intro. These intros were all compiled before I set out on this journey, and can be read in their entirety ( HERE ). The Review Several stories being told at once, but all connected somehow. Samuel L. Jackson is a hit man who carries around a briefcase for his boss and is angered easily. John Travolta, also a hitman falls for his boss’s girl, they dance in a retro diner and in h

A week, one week! I had been on quite the roll in terms of a posting schedule. Monday, Wednesday & Friday like clockwork, then bam. I disappeared. I was sick for some of it but if I am being 100% honest with you (and myself), I just wasn’t feeling very funny. It happens, and that is part of the reason why I started this blog back up.  Writing can be therapeutic whether its serious writing or funny (or attempted funny in my case). So, until I find my groove again (anybody got

NOLANVILLE- It is with great sadness that I must announce the untimely passing of my 2 nd favorite pair of black strappy sandals, Sandy. They were also known as : “you know, the black and tan ones” to friends and family. They passed over to the big shoe box in the sky on August 31, 2018. They were only a year old. Born in April 2014 in China to parents Kali Footwear and Amazon Inc., Sandy was later adopted by on May 9, 2017, by Jennifer Shidler an avid online shopper and

Hey Guys! It is Friday which means the weekend is upon us! Also upon us, is another "cliff notes" video for your non-reading pleasure! Today, my husband has me play "guess the song" Disclaimer: I have never and will never claim to be a good singer. With that said, I would NOT recommend watching this video with earbuds in and volume up high..unless tone deaf and off key is your kind of thing ;) What kind of quiz should we do next week? Let me know in the comments :)   Enjoy

AFI # 95 The Last Picture Show (1971) The Last Picture Show 1971 I will begin each review with a “What I know, or What I Think I Know…” intro. These intros were all compiled before I set out on this journey, and can be read in their entirety ( HERE ). What I “Think” I Know A washed-up movie star begs for a role to prove she still has “it” gets the role, but to critical reviews. Takes her life but not before she reflects on her illustrious career and dreams about what it “coul

This week on “Hoarding: Buried Alive” we follow Jennifer, a 30-year old office supply hoarder from Central Texas who is in over her head in ink and pencil shavings…. Ok, so, my hoard doesn’t require 10 dump trucks, an organizational specialist and a therapist (although, I'm not counting this one out just yet lol…), but it is a bit aggressive for someone who graduated from college 8 years ago and barely takes notes or writes by hand anymore. (Hey Apple notes, how you doin’?)

We here at The {ish} Adventures are particularly fond of our four legged puppers! So today's quick post is about them! Lucy & Wrigley, we love you!!

Hey Guys! It is Friday which means the weekend is upon us! Also upon us, is another "cliff notes" video for your non-reading pleasure! Today, my husband quizzes me on basic knowledge ranging from music, history, science and brace yourselves, MATH. (and you thought my spelling was bad...) Disclaimer: Not for the educationally squeamish or faint of heart.. Enjoy!

AFI # 96 Do The Right Thing (1989) What I “Think” The Movie is about A group of kids spend the whole movie trying to get ahold of the answers to a hard mid-term. They are successful in their quest but decide at the last-minute to “do the right thing” and take the test. Some pass, some fail, but they all learn a valuable lesson. (once again, my guess was not even close ) The Real Review Brooklyn is deep into a heat wave and tension, like the temperature, is rising among the ne

A few weeks ago we explored the possibilities of whether I, Jennifer, of 30 year old sound{ish} body and mind, am in fact an adult, or instead an adult in training (read that post here ). I decided that half of the issue may be that I've never really "applied and interviewed" for the position of adulthood. Being married and having a mortgage just isnt enough. So to whom it may concern, might I present to you my  Resume to Be an Adult  for your review and acceptance.

Hey Guys! Not trying to be weird, buttttt I want to know when you go to sleep, and when you wake up.. You see, I have developed a bad habit of going to sleep when most are getting ready to wake up and now I want to see (and try) how the other half, the normal and responsible half, live. So if you could spare 2 mins of your time to fill out this survey I would greatly appreciate it! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LP6ZL6L

Hey Guys! It is Friday which means the weekend is upon us! Also upon us, is another "cliff notes" video for your non-reading pleasure! Today, my husband joins me and gives me a basic spelling test. If you are a regular reader of my blogs, you should already have an inclination of how it went. Disclaimer: If you are reading this and had any hand in my education growing up, go ahead and back out of this page. Just for today. Come back next week, I will try to do a better job

So, what to do with a movie you paid 10$ for and never want to watch again? You post it for free on Craigslist and see if someone is crazy enough to want it.
