Navy, Baby OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Navy, Baby OOTD! I am dead tired as I type this and am fantasizing about a crispy Diet Coke from McDonald’s. However, the blog must go on and I am nothing if not dedicated. Hello, six and a half year blogging streak! Perhaps I need a laugh to perk me up and maybe all of you do too. So, let’s take a look at these yikes shots and discuss why this chronically sleepy gal is extra sleepy today!

LOL Johnny brought up something that apparently made me want to throw up

This was the picture that was taken immediately after which isn’t bad for just hurling

Here’s looking at you, kid

Just out here doing my best!

The face of a gal who loooooves spring!

Looking at you from across the room like

Has Daylight Savings time thrown you for a loop? It most certainly has for me and your girl is dying! Johnny and I have a pretty unique schedule. We are both up for work around three AM and go to bed at six thirty or so. In normal circumstances, this is a-okay. In Daylight Savings time world, however, it is a massive problem. I am one of those people who simply cannot fall asleep unless it’s dark out and it throws a wrench in the plan when it is still light until eight PM. Eventually my body adjusts to this new rhythm but it is hellacious until it does.

When my alarm clock went off this morning, all I wanted to do was hit the snooze and keep snoozing until I got back to baseline. What motivated me to get up? The bunnies, of course! I know I would hate if I was hungry and my breakfast was late and, although my schedule has been unwillingly adjusted, there’s doesn’t deserve to be. While my mind screamed more sleep, my heart screamed “but the bunnies” louder and so here I am… Typing this post while half asleep! Zzzzzzzzzz

Can we all just make a pact to do away with Daylight Savings time because WOOF. Mama needs her beauty sleep!!

Has Daylight Savings time effected you? When do you normally go to bed? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Cute In K-Pop OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Cute In K-Pop OOTD! As you all know, not every picture taken is going to be a winner and rather than instantly hit delete, I like to celebrate them. For every good picture I take, there are several bad ones to go along with it and I never miss an opportunity to poke some good old fashioned fun at myself. They may be yikes shots, but they are my yikes shots so let’s check them out and have a laugh:

Why isn’t everyone posing like this when they get engaged?

Ha ha ha ha ha…. NO!

Scratching at my imaginary beard

Holding my imaginary ball

The literal face of oopsie daisy!!

Lol say cheeeeeeese!!!!

While bloopers are a sure fire way to make me laugh, the most common way that Johnny and I get our yucks is through workplace comedies. We just love them! Like many people, shows like The Office, Parks & Rec, and Superstore are consistent background noise at chez nous when we are just hanging out or going to bed. However, we have seen each of those shows a thousand times apiece and needed something different. Thankfully, I feel like we are in a workplace comedy renaissance because we have added so many to our roster and have really been enjoying them.

For the past several months, Johnny and I have been watching Stumble, St. Denis Medical, Abbott Elementary, Animal Control, Strays, and Shelved. I actually don’t normally care to watch a lot of different shows at once because it’s so much to keep up with. But all of these are so funny that I’ll give it a pass! With a majority of these programs currently airing on TV, it gives us a daily show to look forward to and it has been so nice – especially since The Traitors and my beloved Olympics are all done. These shows have been the perfect way to settle in after work and no matter what the day has been like, we are always ending it in stitches!

If you haven’t given any of the above workplace comedies a try, we can’t recommend them enough. They are a hoot!

What is your favorite workplace comedy? Do you have a favorite game show (We are loving The Greatest Average American!)? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Jammin Jumpsuit OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Jammin Jumpsuit OOTD! This little look was worn to go to a minor league hockey game in Cleveland and it was just the best. We were blessed to see FIVE fights and I felt at least ten pounds lighter by the time the game was over. I guess I had more pent up frustration than I thought! I had to laugh because later that night a star from Heated Rivalry hosted Saturday Night Live (It was a great episode!). Unfortunately, no one at the Cleveland Monsters game we went to kissed and made up after getting into their tussles. Maybe next time! #fingerscrossed Let’s take a look at some of these yikes shots and discuss another instance that gave me the giggles:

Don’t mess with me!!!!

Using my sense of smell to guide me. To Taco Bell, perhaps?

Why so serious?

A quick power nap before the big game?

Doing what I do best: Making content magic, obvi

Sassy lady!!!

When I think of the apartment community I live in, several things come to mind and raccoons are always high on the list. They are literally everywhere – in the dumpsters, roaming the property, in the walls, and making guest appearances on porches. I kid you not, I once had a neighbor who left food outside of her door for them. But, hey, it’s home and I still love it all the same. Almost every night and early morning, several trash pandas visit mine and Johnny’s porch. Sometimes they do a pop in and move on, sometimes they hang for a while, and other times they eat pizza that they rescued from the dumpster. I’ll tell you what, my mind was blown when I witnessed that!

This past Wednesday was freaking crap lousy at work and I was still in my feels about it when I worked from home on Thursday morning. As I was at my computer, I saw a couple of raccoons taking their morning constitutional on the porch. An hour or so later, I got up to look out the window because it was raining buckets. However, the weather wasn’t the first thing that caught my eye. What I clocked immediately was a Taco Bell wrapper on my porch that one of the raccoons salvaged in the trash. I’d know those wrappers anywhere. 😀

As you all know, T-Bell is my absolute favorite and despite being in a bum mood, I just had to laugh. I know it isn’t true but I like to think that the raccoons knew I was having a tough go of it and brought me something to cheer me up. In reality, I’m sure they were just having their breakfast. It did make me smile, though, and gave me a moment to take joy in the little things. I told all of my clients that story when I saw them later in the day and they all got such a kick out of it too. Everyone I work with knows that Taco Bell holds a special place in my heart so they saw it as a gift from the raccoons like I did. It might not be flowers or diamonds but I’ll still take it! ❤

My early AM raccoon visit was a silly reminder to smile and a sign from the universe that Taco Bell is in order like yesterday. If you are feeling some type of way – look for the little things, cash those happy checks, and feel better soon! 🙂

What kind of wildlife visits your home? What is something funny that has happened to you recently? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

V-Day OOTD Bloopers

V-Day OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my V-Day OOTD! Johnny and I had an absolute ball on our Valentine’s Day date with a yummy dinner out and an evening at a Cupid’s Revenge haunted house. We ate like kings and had the most spooky, silly time at the haunt. We cannot wait to go back to the Haunted Schoolhouse And Laboratory for their St. Patrick’s Day haunted house next month! If it’s anything like the V-Day one, it will be a freaking hoot. 😀 Our night on the town was full of fabulous memories as well as super styling OOTDs on both of our parts. I felt like a V-Day queen but these pictures are more like me as the royal court’s jester lol, check it out:

Just staring into space

I can’t tell if I love or hate this picture!

Halt! Who goes there?

Pat your head and rub your belly world champ

Hey girl!!!!

My Squidward face says it all lolol

No pictures, please …. But please take my picture!!!

Johnny and I were both exhausted on Sunday after all of the hubbub and I took it as my opportunity to get caught up on the Olympics. This is the happiest time of every four years for me and I was chomping at the bit to watch all of the figure skating that I missed. After I was done watching the men’s long programs, I decided to have some fun by watching a bit of the bobsled events that were taking place. By that time, Johnny was up from his nap and was SO into it. I think he had his fill of figure skating after he graciously sat through the team and short programs with me. 😀 To my surprise, he requested that we watch more Olympic sports after watching several bobsled heats and it was music to my ears. The sport he chose…

Curling! I haven’t watched a ton of Olympic curling in my day and I regret that deeply after our bingeathon. Honestly, it begged the question of why aren’t we watching these sports regularly like we do for football and baseball. Curling was absolutely hilarious to watch. Not because of the athletes, but the commentators. Johnny and I are so not hip to curling lingo and all of the phrases they rattled off were like a new language. We had no idea what they were talking about but it all sounded good! In fact, at one point one of the commentators delved into a story about his wife that really had nothing to do with the matter at hand. It reminded us SO much of the commentary in one of our favorite movies, Best In Show, which made us laugh even harder. These lesser known sports might not be at the top of your Olympics agenda but I promise you they are just as fun if not more so than the big events. I can’t wait to watch more with my main squeeze!

I cannot describe how happy I am that Johnny found an Olympic sport that we can enjoy watching together. It was the perfect way to wrap up a perfect Valentine’s Day weekend!

Have you been watching the Olympics? What is your favorite sport? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Bunny Name Game

Bunny Name Game

Hello darlings! Quick question… Are you really a pet parent if you don’t have a litany of nicknames for them? We have had our beloved bunnies, Melvin and Penelope, for over three years and it feels like we have had them for forever. They are simply the best and we love them so. A few weeks after we adopted them and took them home, I made this post with a handful of their nicknames. My goodness has this list not only expanded but also devolved into calling them mere syllables sometimes! But, hey, they respond to it so that’s all that matters. Melvin Vincent Price and Penelope Marie may be their names but if you’re friends you can get away with the following:

Melvin:

Melvin is Penelope’s baby and the duo was so bonded that we adopted them together. While Pen comes out of her shy shell occasionally, Melvin is Mr. Attitude. Since the day we brought him home, he has wanted to be on the move and explore. Thus earning him his first nickname of TW or “Tiny Wanderer”. Since their homecoming, Melvin Vincent Price has been known to go by:

  • Mel Mel
  • Mel Bell
  • Little One
  • Scamp
  • Son (Because let’s be real, he looks exactly like Johnny!)
  • BB
  • BB Boy
  • Rambo (Short for rambunctious)
  • Mr. Price
  • Mr. Mel
  • Mister Mister
  • Biggest Boy

^^^ Big stretch!

Penelope:

Penelope Marie is my baby girl. Ever since I was little, I wanted a bunny named Penelope for some reason and now I have finally got her! It took Penelope a fair amount of time to warm up to her new surroundings and me. The jury is honestly still out on Johnny lol. Over the years it has been so much fun to watch her confidence and trust grow and she is the biggest cuddle bug now! Also the recipient of many a nickname like:

  • Mama
  • Mama Girl
  • Miss Mama
  • MG
  • Nelly
  • Nani
  • Na Na
  • Na
  • Pretty Girl
  • Penny
  • Penny Lane
  • Pretty Penelope
  • Princess Penelope
  • P Marie

^^^ Special delivery!!

Whatever we call them, Melvin and Penelope have turned our apartment into a true home. They came to me when I needed them most and it is one of my greatest joys to be a bunny mom!

What are the nicknames for your pets? How did they earn them? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Groovy Movies: Anaconda Edition

Groovy Movies: Anaconda Edition

Hello! Johnny and I are lucky enough to have the most amazing downstairs neighbor. We hang out often, so much so that we formed a club called Friday Night Dinner Club. FNDC is exactly what it sounds like: We go out to dinner or order in and watch a movie and round robin who is paying. This past Saturday we shifted into Saturday Afternoon Lunch Club for a meal at Chipotle before hitting up the movie theater to see Anaconda. It was great fun but even better because of the company. In a spoiler free setting, as always, let’s discuss this silly popcorn flick further. Before we begin, I will be placing a trigger warning for snake carnage. Here we go:

^^^ As always, I have no rights to this video!

Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) spent their childhood making movies with their best friends, Claire and Kenny. They had dreams of making it big and Doug and Griff semi realized their goals. Doug makes wedding videos that he calls “films” and Griff works at Lowe’s while taking any bit acting job he can… And not getting fired. What they need is a change of pace. Something to reignite their creative passion. So, they decide to do an entirely self funded and self staffed remake of Anaconda.

After some convincing, the ragtag crew is on their way to the Amazon. They have a boat with a captain and a snake expert hired and their initial days of filming have gone better than expected. The boat captain may seem a bit sketchy but she is getting them from Point A to Point B. As they continue filming, a snake situation has left them in need of… Well, a new snake. As they search for a replacement in the Amazon jungle, the crew becomes the hunted of an Anaconda that has a taste for humans. Doug, Griff, Claire, and Kenny have literally stepped foot into the actual movie and it’s up to them to get out unscathed. Will they survive the Amazon jungle and the Anacondas that inhabit it? See Anaconda to find out!

Anaconda was a short and sweet flick that was barely over an hour and a half. AKA my kind of movie because any longer and I would have needed a bathroom break lol. Was this the best movie I have ever seen? No, not by a long shot. Was it still a good time? Yes! Anaconda was full of fast paced action, funny jokes, and classic Paul Rudd and Jack Black. Johnny and I love both of those actors so much and their roles were basically themselves. What’s not to like? 😀

If you are looking for a groundbreaking remake, you’re not going to find it in Anaconda. If you are looking to be entertained for a little while, it is definitely worth the watch. I genuinely can’t say if I liked this movie a lot because I liked it or if I liked it a lot because of the people I was with. If that makes sense! It was just such a nice afternoon out with my two favorite guys and I enjoyed myself very much. All I know is that I will be looking forward to our next Lunch/Dinner/Movie Club meeting to see the new Jason Statham flick coming out at the end of the month!

Overall I am going to rate Anaconda with a six out of ten stars. It was pretty good but not great. If you are Paul Rudd and Jack Black fans too, this one is for you!

What was the last movie you saw in theaters? How was it? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Let It Snow OOTD Bloopers

Hello!! My wonderful hair stylist blessed me with a Christmas miracle by squeezing me in on her birthday for the appointment I had to miss when I had Covid. Honestly it was the best Christmas gift ever and I couldn’t be more thankful to her. Once I got home with my brand new do, I couldn’t wait to venture out into the snow to show it off in an OOTD shoot. It was icy cold but the fashion was oh so hot. These pics? Ehhh… Not so much lol check out the Blooper Reel from my Let It Snow OOTD:

Literally everyone in Ohio when it starts snowing… in the winter

Not sure what caught my attention but I had to put a pause on the pics to take a look see

I’M SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who’s ready for those classic throwing snow pics?

Good…

Better…

Best lololol

When it comes to gift giving occasions, I am extremely impatient and would prefer to give my giftees their prezzies as soon as they’re purchased. I absolutely love picking out the perfect gifts for everyone on my list and I just want them to have it ASAP. Unfortunately, the old “Can I give you your Christmas gifts now?” works on literally no one. Except for one person – my Johnny! ❤

Since we started dating, I truly can’t recall one Christmas, birthaversary, or Valentine’s Day where we gave each other our gifts the day of. It goes a little something like this: I am a chronically early gift shopper, I ask him regularly if I can give it to him, then he eventually caves. On Thanksgiving week, Johnny finally cracked and I was able to give him his Christmas prezzies – all of the Spinal Tap albums on vinyl. In my defense, however, Johnny technically gave me my gift earlier. All I wanted for Christmas was Little Nightmares III and he got it for me the day it came out in October. The Little Nightmares series is one of my all time favorite games and I simply couldn’t wait until December to receive the latest installment. It looks like Johnny beat me at my own game this year and I’ve never been more proud. 😀

No matter when, it’s always so fun to give and receive gifts… Preferably on the early side though!

Are you patient when it comes to presents? What is on your Christmas wish list? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Spirit Christmas Haul

Spirit Christmas Haul

Hello! This past week I took a trip to Spirit Christmas and had a complete blast. Spirit Christmas is basically Spirit Halloween… But Christmas lol and the setup is the same. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by a walk through of motion activated decor and there is also an area filled to the brim with inflatable lawn decor. And, oh yeah, beaucoup holiday themed T-shirts, costumes, ugly sweaters, stockings, and ornaments. For my holiday OOTD, I had a vision of a Sabrina Carpenter inspired ensemble. The sweater vest below is for my “naughty” OOTD and the T-shirt is for the “nice” version! Check it out:

Prior to visiting Spirit Christmas I was browsing on a few online stores for a holiday OOTD. However, I didn’t make any purchases as I had never bought from them before and wasn’t sure of how the clothes would fit. The last thing I wanted to do was to make last minute returns and exchanges so I decided shopping in store was the best way to go. Although Spirit Christmas had a handful of pre-assembled costumes, they were a bit too basic for my liking. Luckily, they had stand alone options too so I pieced together my OOTD and I am loving it!

The first thing I clocked was the Christmas tree inspired mini skirt and I knew I could work with that. It is just so festive and FUN with that sparkling tinsel and disco ball style ornaments. I cannot wait to twirl and swirl in it and am happy to have it as I have literally no holiday season themed clothing. I think this skirt is the best place to start! The next order of business was finding a top to pair it with. I bypassed the ugly sweaters because they were upwards of seventy dollars and that was way too expensive to justify. That was no matter because who needs an ugly sweater when you have a Step Brothers T-shirt and sweater vest? 😀

In the T-shirt department, I snatched the Step Brothers T as soon as I saw it. It’s literally perfect lol. Step Brothers is one of my all time favorite movies and I all but have it memorized. Nothing says Season’s Greetings like Dale and Brennan sending their well wishes for an activity filled Christmas and it was just what I needed for my “nice” OOTD. For the “naughty” portion, I simply could not say no to the “Santa’s Favorite Ho” sweater vest because LOLOLOL. This little number is so sassy and downright hilarious and it’s going to look amazing with the mini skirt. It’s a Sabrina Carpenter style OOTD Lil Red’s way to the T and I couldn’t ask for anything more. ❤

I cannot wait to show off my naughty and nice OOTDs so stay tuned all holiday season long on lifewithlilred for more fashion fun!

Are you dressing up in a costume for the holidays? Did you get a new outfit to celebrate in? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Thxgiving OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Thxgiving OOTD! Has everyone worked off their food coma? I’m getting there lol. I absolutely live for Thanksgiving food and the only setting I know once dinner rolls around is going hard in the paint! All I have to say is, I’m SO glad that we took OOTD pictures before our Thanksgiving feast because I literally couldn’t move afterwards. I couldn’t wait to get into sweatpants! The meal? Amazing. These shots? Not so much!

Lumbering to my phone and green bean casserole

The classic “look I’m wearing a dress” pose lol

Shoo fly! Ya bother me

Eyeing you from across the room like

Doll style dress? Broken down doll pose done badly

Happy Turkey Day!!!! 😀

Johnny was off of work the entire week of Thanksgiving and I had a four day weekend. Even on the days I was working, it felt like a vacation because Johnny took care of the bunnies every morning and I was able to sleep in. It was freaking awesome! Although it was very hard to leave for work while he was posted up on the couch, those extra Z’s made my days a breeze and I was eagerly counting down until my time off too. It had been over three months since my last days off, which I actually didn’t realize until now. So, yeah, I really needed it!

During my four day weekend we got lunch with Johnny’s parents for Thanksgiving and I was able to FaceTime with my blogging bestie. Other than that, I did nothing and it was glorious! After going nonstop for what felt like forever, it was just me, myself, and the couch. And Johnny when he wasn’t napping. 🙂 It was exactly what I needed. However, as I type this on Monday morning I think I could definitely benefit from another day off, or two, or ten. It is SO hard going back to work after a mini vaca!!

It’s back to the grind which means my Christmas countdown is starting NOW. Bring on more time off, pretty please and thank you! ❤

How are you celebrating the holidays? Are you traveling during time off from work? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Weekend Adventure OOTD Bloopers

Howdy! Raise your hand if you’re feeling tired and eating ramen noodles for breakfast, can I get a hell yeah! Just me? Oh. Lol I did NOT sleep well at all last night but your girl is pulling through because this daily content doesn’t write itself! Today we’re going to take a gander at some yikes shots that definitely didn’t make the first cut of my Weekend Adventure OOTD pics. Then, I’d love to have a chat about what has been making me and Johnny laugh lately! You game? Let’s get to it:

The face I’ll probably be making all day as I go about in zombie mode

Laugh attack or just really has to pee?

Hey party people!!!

I have no idea what is going on here and I can’t say I like it

Shake shake shake, shake your booty

About to break into song – who’s up for some Britney Spears? (I always am!)

Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club?

Johnny is a big fan of standup comedy. Me? Not so much. If I want to have a laugh, I’d rather watch Step Brothers lol. Not when it comes to Pete Holmes, however! This past weekend we watched So. Much. Pete. Holmes and I honestly want to do it all over again. He is just SO funny and all of his witticisms have been in my head for days. Pete Holmes can only be described as jovial. He has the most infectious smile and is always funny without poking fun. His stand up is all about finding joy in the silly and he does it oh so well.

A common saying during Pete Holmes’ standup is “cashing your happy checks” and I just love that. Cashing happy checks is all about giving yourself permission whenever you want to laugh. To find amusement in every day situations no matter how small or mundane. It makes me genuinely happy to think about this giant, jolly man going about his day with laughter and the best part? We all can too! Who knew a standup comic could teach such a valuable lesson but I know I will be making an effort to cash my happy checks on the daily!

If you haven’t watched any Pete Holmes, do yourself a favor and get on that immediately. You’re going to love him!

Who is your favorite standup comic? What is your favorite comedy movie? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
