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

Mix & Match OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Mix & Match OOTD! This look was the epitome of quirky cool and I absolutely love how it turned out. It is so fun to have fun with fashion and I encourage all of you to pop into your wardrobe and experiment. Mix and match to your heart’s content. It might not work or it will look amazing but if you never try you never know! These blooper shots, though? Not so amazing lol! Take a look:

Wazzzzzzup

Sassy queen

Had to gather my bearings…

Just to do this nonsense SMH

Johnny is always making me laugh!

Trying to hold the giggles in…

It didn’t work!!!

As you all know, I am an avid reader. It is one of my favorite hobbies and once I start a book I literally can’t stop to save my own life. I typically read one book in a day or two per week, find a new one, and then rinse and repeat the binge reading. At a discount store, I saw The Wrong Family by Tarryn Fisher and decided to get it from the library next. I have been reading a fair amount of horror and was looking forward to diving back into my usual “Lifetime movie books” as Johnny calls them lol. He isn’t wrong! Once I got the book, I started reading immediately and it all seemed very familiar…

I kept reading for a chapter or two because sometimes those twisty novels all blend together. I have read so many intertwining tales of unstable narrators that I can barely keep them straight! I just couldn’t shake the deja read sensation, though, so I turned to my trusty blog for guidance. It turns out that I definitely read The Wrong Family before and I have the Lil Red’s Book Club to prove it! It’s too bad because after reading my review it sounded like a real winner. It even got the ten out of ten stars award. It’s also too bad that I straight up couldn’t even remember reading it lol SMH big time!!

My book blunder threw me off of my reading schedule so I am open to any and all suggestions on what to read next. Preferably something that I haven’t already read before! 😀

What is your favorite book genre? Do you have any recommendations for me? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Pajama Party OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Pajama Party OOTD! I don’t know about all of you, but the best part of my day has to be when I get home from work. This is not to say that I don’t love my job but because I love the feeling of putting on pajamas as soon as I barrel through the doorway and set my purse down. There is just nothing better than slipping into something comfy, winding down, and binge watching whatever Johnny and I fancy. It’s heavenly! These pics? Not so much lol. Check it out:

I’m ready for my close up

ExSQUEEZE me?!

I like your personality – Thanks, it’s a disorder 😉

I call this pose “Sleeping Flamingo”

My very best beaver impression

I’m a star, baby

Sundays in my household are strictly Lazy Sundays. Johnny and I hang out downstairs with the bunnies, he’ll go upstairs to nap, I watch whatever I want on TV, then I’ll head up mid afternoon. This past Sunday, I was on a Sandra Bullock kick as I recently read Bird Box and watched the movie. Johnny was still asleep when I got upstairs so I decided to put on one of my favorite chick flicks – The Proposal. It is just SO funny and cute and I put it on whenever I need a laugh or background noise. Due to my laughter, Johnny woke up about ten minutes later and watched the rest of the movie with me. He LOVED it and we have been quoting it all week. 😀

After The Proposal, I couldn’t believe Johnny’s movie choice… One of my OTHER favorite chick flicks: 13 Going On Thirty!! This is a movie that I quote constantly and one that Johnny has declined watching with me until now. The joke is on him because he ended up LOVING it too! Curling up in these cozy pajamas and watching chick flicks together was honestly like having a midday slumber party. We were giggling like schoolgirls at every little thing and delighting in seeing all of my most quotable parts. Next on the agenda? I see The Devil Wears Prada and What A Girl Wants in our future! ❤

Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Garner in one afternoon? Be still my heart! It took over six years for Johnny to hop on the chick flick train and now that he’s onboard, I refuse to let him leave anytime soon! 😀

What is your favorite chick flick? Who is your favorite actor or actress? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Whatever’s Clever COTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Whatever’s Clever COTD! This makeshift costume was worn for an evening of Halloween frivolity and I felt like a star in it. Was it the most cohesive look? Not exactly. Was it cute AF? Absolutely! I loved wearing it to go to a Halloween event with my nieces and to the Factory Of Terror. I will say, however, it was hilarious rolling into the Red Robin in this fit when Johnny and I grabbed dinner before the haunted house lol! Take a look at these yikes shots and then let me tell you about my stuck in the bathroom experience:

No idea what to do with all this hair!

Crouching tiger hidden devil

The light! It burns!!!

Clearly I have to practice my hair flip in this wig lol

Hanging on for dear life because…

YIKES!!!! Lil Red *almost* down

She sticks the landing!!!

SO. This skeleton bodysuit by Tipsy Elves is fabulous but it is a pain in the fanny to zip up. While I was getting ready at home it was a huge struggle to zip – it looked like it wasn’t getting stuck on fabric, it just straight up wouldn’t zip up. Trust and believe it felt like a major accomplishment when I finally got it! After taking COTD pictures, Johnny and I made our way to the family Halloween outing with our nieces and about halfway through, my worst fear happened. I had to use the bathroom. AHHHHHH!!!!

I went to the loo, did my thing, and sent a silent wish that my bodysuit would zip up once more. Let’s just say that the wish didn’t come true. Try as I might, the zipper wasn’t budging and I was stuck in my bathroom stall wrestling with my costume. I grabbed my phone and proceeded to call my mom and sister and had no service. My series of SOS texts weren’t going through and I was completely stranded. This was not the place to be walking around with my assets on full display.

As I continued to try to zip the bodysuit, I was getting more and more frustrated and even broke a sweat lol it was bad! I figured my best chance of emerging from the facilities was to ask for help from the next person who came in. About ten minutes later, my savior opened the bathroom doors: A kind woman in a yellow Yoshi costume with her little kid dressed as Luigi. With my tail between my legs, I explained the situation and she was ON. It. She told her kiddo “go to the bathroom, I have to help this nice lady” and within ten seconds, my bodysuit was zipped back up. I hugged her so tightly and told her she saved my life!!

This bathroom saga took at least twenty minutes and when I finally rolled back into the arts and crafts area my family was in, they all asked where I was. I told them I was in the bathroom the whole time and asked why no one came looking. They all assumed I was really doing my business and that couldn’t have been further from the truth. I was in there fighting for my life! Regardless of how annoyed I was, freedom was so sweet and I fear I would have been in the can all night if it wasn’t for my Yoshi goddess. Bless this woman and her family!!!! ❤

For the remainder of the night, I made my time in the bathroom work sans unzipping my suit. Note to self: Once the zipper on this bodysuit is up it is staying up!!!!

Have you had any embarrassing situations recently? What happened? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Suspect Looks Like OOTD Bloopers

Howdy everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Suspect Looks Like OOTD! This look was inspired by a comment that I hold very close to my heart that I look like a “Great Value Hayley Williams”. Lol – Hey, she’s beautiful but maybe she looks like a Great Value Lil Red?! I kid, I kid! As that comment was so funny to me, I just had to use it for a Suspect Looks Like video on my TikTok that featured a fit with Hayley Williams vibes. Leave it to me to find the FUN in a comment that was meant to be mean. I took it as a compliment! Peep the bloopers and let’s have a laugh:

Johnny’s thumb always makes a cameo at some point or another

Sometimes (all the time) I have no idea what I’m doing

Suspect Looks Like a drunkzilla

She’s beauty, she’s grace, she has a dumb look on her face

The ground is so scary!!!!!

Ready for my call from Vogue any time now

Lol should have been a robot for Halloween this year instead of a pirate!

One of my favorite movies of all time is The Room lol. It’s just so damn funny and I love making people who haven’t seen it before watch it. Last year, Johnny and I were lucky enough to go to a screening that was hosted by Greg Sestero, AKA Mark. It was so amazing to meet Greg and we even got to read lines from the script of The Room together! This past weekend we were supposed to go to another screening of The Room that Greg would be at and unfortunately the plans fell through. Johnny got his flu, Covid, and RSV shot on Friday and felt worse for the wear all weekend long.

I was SO disappointed that we wouldn’t be able to see Greg again but I did end up getting the next best thing. He replied to my comment on one of his Facebook posts! I like to think he remembered me and Johnny as I messaged him after last year’s event and he replied to that too. What an angel! Check out this hilarious interaction:

LOL when I tell you guys I geeked and fan girled so hard you have NO idea. Greg is always posting the funniest stuff on his social media and replying to fans with hilarious The Room related comments. To be the recipient of one of them was such a gift and I was genuinely shocked when he replied right away. Greg is a true class act and is so genuine. After meeting him IRL, it’s perfectly clear that he loves what he does and really enjoys meeting enthusiasts of one of the best worst movies ever made. We might not have made it to the screening but this made my life! ❤

Big ups to Greg Sestero for taking the time to reply to little old me. When a door shuts, Greg opens a window or however that saying goes!

Have you ever had any celebrity interactions on social media? Have you been to a screening of The Room before? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
