Friday Five No. 34

This post contains affiliate links.

It’s finally FRIDAY!! I have to work this weekend so I don’t know why I’m so excited…LOL!! Anyway, since it’s Friday you know what that means…it’s time for the Friday Five!! If you are new around these parts then you should know that I usually reserve Fridays for random things that I want to blog about but wouldn’t necessarily warrant a whole blog post. Random tidbits and things I like…you know what I mean! Anyway, enough rambling…let’s get to it!!

ONE. IT’S FALL!!!! It’s finally cold enough that I had to turn my heat on last week. I hate snow and ice and everything about winter but bring on these cold fall days!! I freaking love it!!

TWO. Remember this post I did about my Halloween decor? Well I finally ordered the treat of the things I wanted for my living room redo so hopefully everything will be in in the next couple of weeks so I can show y’all the completed project!! I am way too excited about it. I also started on my bedroom so I can’t wait for y’all to see that either!!

THREE. Since I got my MoviePass in the mail last week I have been to the movies 3 times…HA!! I’m making it worth the $10 a month I pay and it has more than paid for itself so far. I have seen Happy Death Day (loved it), Jigsaw (loved it) and Bad Moms Christmas (freaking loved it)!! I still get a small popcorn and a drink so I’m still spending $10 every time I go but I may need to start bringing my own popcorn…shhh don’t tell!!

FOUR. So I got rid of cable TV almost a year and I haven’t missed it yet. But you know what I do miss?? Hallmark movies!! Ya’ll. There is nothing better than snuggling down on the couch with my Sophie puppy and watching a good Hallmark movie. I have looked for a Hallmark app but can’t find one? I have done some searching online and apparently the only way to watch Hallmark movies online or over a smart TV is to watch it over the Sling app?? I may need to look into that but if you another way to watch Hallmark movies let a sister know!!!

FIVE. Stranger Things 2. Please tell me you have binge watched it!!! I killed it all on the 27th and I loved every freaking moment of it!!! I think my favorite character is Dustin…and his PEARLS!!! HA!! That kid cracks me up!!! Have you seen it yet???

Do you have any fun plans for this weekend??
Have you seen Stranger Things 2??
Do you know how to watch the Hallmark Channel online??

    I think I need that Movie Pass. I do want to see Bad Moms and in a few weeks, a movie called Wonder is coming out.

    I haven’t seen Stranger Things yet but I keep hearing about it.

    It’s always a thankful moment every Friday for me. It’s nice that it’s Fall because its really a great climate and its not too hot nor too cool. I got to catch up with Stranger things.

    LOVE Stranger Things!! We have two episodes left of season two…trying to drag it out as long as possible..Waiting a whole year for the next season is awful! Hallmark channel…Ok, so we dropped cable/satellite a while ago, and looked at all the streaming options. Check out Directv Now..Not associated with the other Directv, but sort of is. < — that may not make sense. It's a streaming service, like Sling. We have the cheapest package, and it's like $39 a month, that's with tax. We have Hallmark channel, and so many others (Food Network, HGTV, etc) . We LOVE it! We use the Amazon Firestick. Plus you can use them as your provider to sign into many of the individual apps to watch things too.

    I love all of your five faves as always. Fall is one of my top favorite seasons. I love waking up and heading outdoors with my coffee to enjoy the cooler air. I haven’t watched Stranger Things. I watched a couple of episodes and waiting for time to watch all.

    I WISH my husband would get rid of our satellite tv service. I loathe it. I mean the kids and I rarely watch tv. We’re so Netflix, VUDU and Roku. It’s kinda like MySpace in a Twitter world. Happy Friday Ricci

      I blogged about it the other day, it’s a card you pay $10/month for and you can go see 1 movie in theaters per day. It’s pretty dang genius!!

    Stranger Things is just too strange for me. I could probably do without cable, but love watching basketball. Oh and at this time of year, my Hallmark Christmas movies.

    The movie pass sounds like a great thing. My daughters are obsessed with going to the movies these days. I’d love a pass like that.

    Hello, Ricci.

    I would love to watch Jigsaw! But going to movies in cinemas are such expensive these days. Oh my God! Stranger Things 2 gets better and better each episodes.

    I freaking love fall, too! The colder weather make staying in and watching Netflix that much more awesome. I definitely need to check out Stranger Things since so many people are talking about it.
