It’s that time of the year ladies and gentlemen. The premiere of the new season of Dancing With the Stars is on tonight and I am THRILLED! I’ve been a faithful follower of this show for years with my parents, and I creatively coined the occasion “Middle Aged Monday” due to the middle aged nature of the show. I mean seriously….how many twenty year olds say that watching DWTS on a Monday night is one of the things they look forward to? Not a whole lot. The only people who I know who like this show are old people and middle aged people. So if my deep love for it makes me an old lady at heart, then so be it. I’m ready for the new season. I’m ready for quality time with the parents, sipping on some Two Buck Chuck wine, and eating hella popcorn. I’m also ready for Bruno’s hilarious wit and flamboyant personality. He’s my spirit animal, I adore him! Have a great Monday night guys! And if you happen to indulge in Middle Aged Monday (aka MAM) shoot me a comment and let me know what you think of this seasons competition! -Sarah

Saturday bloody Saturday;)
If there’s one thing I love, it’s a day off with my mom. I’m 20 years old but I’m still such a baby when it comes to my parents. I treasure my time with them like no other. My mom is amazing. She’s a developmental pediatrician and the work she does for the families and her special needs patients is really something to be commended for. Some of the stories she comes home with are truly heartbreaking. I remember one time she told me about a little boy she saw with developmental problems who got taunted by his classmates because his mom passed away. How can children be so cruel? Jesus Christ. But I digress, my mom and I are best friends. Which is awesome because I used to despise her. We can delve into that later. We spent the entire afternoon together cooking and baking and it was a fantastic time. It’s a memory I’m gonna cherish for forever. My dad is a cool guy too. I’m a total daddy’s girl. He’s way more quiet than my mom, but that just makes everything he says more affective. It makes his praise more significant, his jokes more funny, and his occasional angry comments more devastating. Because my dad can be a tough critic, I do everything I can to make him proud of me. God knows I try. It can get frustrating not feeling good enough though. It really makes you question your self worth, that’s for sure. I’m excited because we’re gonna watch The Shawshank Redemption tonight. He’s been insisting that I watch it since I never have, so it should be fun! Such a solid day off! My parents bring me infinite joy, and I’m so thankful to have them.
Stressin and depressin
So, to start off with: hey! My name is Sarah, aka Lil Red to my friends and coworkers because of my bright red hair and lipstick. I’ve been told by lots of people to start a blog because of my unique fashion sense, quirky sense of humor, and flawless taste in music. So I guess it’s unfortunate that none of that will be showcased in my first entry because I’m straight bummin. I used to turn to writing in my journal to help me with my depression and anxiety, so I guess it’s kind of nice to have a journal in the palm of my hand. I’ll tell you what, lovely readers: mental health is no joke. You think you’re okay and over past issues which I’m sure I’ll delve into later, but it only takes a few things to fuck all of that up and have a quote unquote “downward spiral”. I haven’t felt this shitty in a while, so it really does feel good to write. Yay for being vague, but maybe that will keep you guys on your toes and keep on coming back to read my random thoughts, inner monologues, outfits of the day, who I’m bumpin on my iPod, and the list goes on. So let’s end this with a question. My own personal question to you…What makes you happy? I’m gonna try and remind myself of things that make me happy with every blog entry. So for my first entry, I’ll tell all of you that I find happiness in my older sister, Kristen. No one understands me like her. It’s nice to have a bond that only sisters will understand. I’m fortunate to have someone who brings me infinite happiness only ten feet away from me at home. Let’s get hyped guys, let’s do this. Take a blog journey with me, and I promise I won’t bore you. Who knows, maybe with every entry you’ll get to know me a little bit better, which would put all of us in the same boat, considering I barely even know myself anymore. Love and good thoughts -Sarah
