V-Day Pt. 2 OOTD Bloopers

V-Day Pt. 2 OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my V-Day Pt. 2 OOTD! Our big Valentine’s Day outing was doing a classic date night of dinner and a show. We had planned on enjoying a meal at the Lockview in downtown Akron before a viewing of our favorite musical, Hadestown, at EJ Thomas Hall. We had a wonderful time but, honestly, the whole evening kind of felt like a blooper reel in itself. Take a look at these SUPER blurry yikes shots and then read all about it:

Our evening began by heading to the Lockview for a quick bite before the show. We entered the restaurant and it was packed to the gills with no seating available for hours. It seemed like everyone in the greater Akron area had dinner plans there so we had to go back into the frigidly cold great outdoors to implement Plan B. Another restaurant was directly beside the Lockview so that was the move, until it wasn’t lol. That restaurant was closed and now we were in panic mode. We were both hungry AF and on a time crunch at that point to eat, take OOTD shots, find parking for the show, and arrive to our seats in time for the opening number.

With literally no other options available, we headed to the bar down the street because surely they had food! They did but, once again, everyone in the greater Akron area stole our plans lol. The joint was jumping when we walked in and it was insanely understaffed. Our poor waiter was running around like a mad man and we felt so bad. We placed our order and as we waited, we were glued to the time on our phones because we were getting down to the wire here. The show started at seven thirty and it was well after six. When our food did arrive, it was SO good but we had to wolf it down because by the time we were done, we had a little over thirty minutes to get ourselves to the theater and park the car.

As you can imagine, parking was an absolute fiasco and we blessedly found a spot in a nearby parking garage. The time check was 7:22 and when I tell you we RAN to the theater lol I was going to be damned if we missed one minute of the show! We arrived in our seats with mere minutes to spare and it probably wouldn’t have been the worst thing to be running late because this viewing of Hadestown sucked and I mean that most sincerely.

After we watched the first half of the bad dress rehearsal performance, we both waited in a seemingly endless line for the bathroom. And, by the time we climbed the stairs to our top balcony seats, we once again had minutes to spare before act two. The OOTD shots were the literal best we could do and even those weren’t great lol. So, yeah, this was a Blooper Reel evening through and through but I wouldn’t want to share it with anyone but my main squeeze! ❤

Once we got home from our date night, we had such a laugh about the whole situation and that was the perfect ending to our not accordingly to plan evening!

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

V-Day Pt. 1 OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel of my V-Day Pt. 1 OOTD! The Part Two OOTD is on the way and as the old saying goes, better late than never lol. On Valentine’s Day, Johnny and I lived our best Middle Class Fancy lives with a dinner at Red Lobster. We had SO much fun and I cannot wait for our next MCF night on the town. It really is one of our relationship staples and I am incredibly curious about what chain restaurant we will go to next. As always, I am keeping my fingers crossed for the Olive Garden! Now, let’s talk a look at these bloopers:

Johnny and I have fallen into a deep Investigation Discovery wormhole and I am so not complaining about it. This all started a few months ago when we came to the conclusion that we had nothing to watch after work. We no longer wanted to be depressed by watching Law & Order: SVU and didn’t want to apply the think work to documentaries after a long day. So, Johnny suggested we watch Who The F*** Did I Marry? and we binged it until there were no episodes left. We didn’t mourn this loss because next on our agenda was my personal favorite, Web Of Lies, which revolved around cyber crimes. Like its predecessor, we made quick work of that show too.

We are currently watching Fear Thy Neighbor and, guys, this show is f’ing NUTS lol. I’ll be the first to admit, the first few seasons were hit or miss but the episodes in the later seasons are CRAZY. As you might have guessed, this show is all about super petty feuds between neighbors that turn deadly. Typically, the fights all start with something like too much noise or a dispute on property lines and, I’ve gotta tell you, I just don’t get it!

Mine and Johnny’s running joke throughout the show is “Clearly, they have never lived in an apartment”. In our extensive tenure in our apartment community, we have definitely had some loud AF neighbors and not once have we ever filed a noise complaint. It’s just not worth it! Partying, kids playing outside, and people arguing is just a fact of life. Also, our current neighbor is the best so we won’t be picking fights with a senior citizen anytime soon. Fear Thy Neighbor is, honestly, ridiculous. However, if you are looking for a “WTF” show to put on, I can’t recommend it enough. 😀

Investigation Discovery has become our go to network and I drive home from work every day looking forward to the next installment of our current binge show. I cannot WAIT to watch some more!

What are you currently watching? What is your favorite Investigation Discovery program? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Just Something Silly

Just Something Silly

Hello! Johnny and I live right down the street from a Circle K and it is a beautiful, beautiful thing. Whether I am in desperate need of a Diet Coke, we’d love a snack, or a refreshing White Claw after work, we frequent our go to gas station several times per week. Because of our high return rate, we have a very friendly relationship with all of the employees and it is always nice to pop in and exchange pleasantries. In fact, sometimes Johnny plays music with one of the guys who works there. What can I say, Circle K is a community!

This past Sunday, we needed a new lighter and, of course, a Diet Coke for me so Johnny made a quick Circle K stop. He told one of our favorite employees who calls him “rock star” every time she sees him (So cute!) to surprise him with whatever lighter she wants – as long as it was a fun one. When he returned home, he showed me her selection and we had to laugh because it was the most random choice ever lol:

I honestly have no idea why this is the lighter our fave employee handed Johnny, but I am SO glad she did. Maybe it reminded her of me and Johnny as a couple if we lived on a farm and weren’t emo AF, maybe she just liked it. Regardless of why, I can’t help but have a chuckle every time I see it sitting on our coffee table. It really is the little things in life and we have vowed to have her pick our lighters since this fateful Circle K run. I genuinely cannot wait to see what we get next!

Whether it’s your favorite store, restaurant, or gas station, I truly believe it’s a special thing to go somewhere where everyone knows you and you know them. Our Circle K is that place for us and we wouldn’t have it any other way! ❤

What store do you frequent regularly? What is your favorite snack to grab from the gas station? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

The Daily Catch

The Daily Catch

Howdy!! Johnny and I had a glorious Middle Class Fancy Valentine’s Day at Red Lobster. Truly, it was one of the most fun dates ever! We got dressed up, started a Lobsterita Frenzy at the bar, and ate like kings. The meals were great but the presentation was simply thrilling for Johnny. He ordered his go to fish and chips and was elated to find that Red Lobster brought back their fake newspaper “The Daily Catch” to place the food on. The last time we hit up The Lob, they did away with The Daily Catch so its return was nothing short of a Valentine’s Day miracle:

Prior to meeting me, Johnny was dating some girl or another and ended up at Red Lobster with her and her father. As per ushe, he got his usual order and saw The Daily Catch for the first time. It humored him deeply and his date did not appreciate his laughter over the fake articles throughout the meal. Fast forward to us dating and he told me about this story. In case you hadn’t noticed, my husband and I share a very similar sense of humor. So, of course, I found delight in The Daily Catch too because it’s just objectively funny lol. Even if I didn’t find it funny, it was nothing worth getting upset over!

Having this backstory and seeing the comeback of The Daily Catch when our food arrived was the cherry on top of our V-Day date. Johnny vowed to take his copy of the newspaper home and I told him absolutely not because of the grease. Blessedly, we built a fantastic rapport with our waiter and had to shoot our shot by asking him for a copy. He brought us a non-grease stained edition of The Daily Catch and it was so sweet that he followed through with our odd request. ❤

With our Daily Catch in tow, we headed back home and have grand plans of framing it to add to our apartment’s decor. This is, honestly, such a typically “us” story and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

What is one of your favorite inside jokes with your partner? What is your go to Red Lobster order? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

All 5 Dances!!!!

Standard
All 5 Dances!!!!

Howdy!! Something that Johnny and I take a lot of joy in is getting matching t-shirts with each other, particularly shirts that are worn in TV shows and movies we love. We have Pablo Cruise baseball tees from Step Brothers, a subliminal reference to Flight Of The Conchords, as well as a happy birthday wish from Superstore. Recently, we have been working our way through the show Community for the second time and we just knew that we had to get one of the T-shirts featured on the show. It was a long time coming because I remember saying we needed it the first time we watching Community when we started dating. Our Ts arrived in the mail this week and we are ecstatic:

In case you haven’t seen or heard of it, Community is a comedy that’s set in a community college and has a cast of characters typical to what you would find on a real campus: Senior citizens, high school burnouts, and those with no direction in life whatsoever. As a proud graduate from Cuyahoga Community College, it’s a show that speaks to me because it brings back so many fond memories while I was a student. From Puppy Hour at the library during exam week to one of my fellow interns that would dip out on every shift to play Pokemon Go, it was such a fun world to be a part of. I honestly never knew what a day on campus was going to be like and it was exciting.

Anywho, the school in Community is called Greendale and every year they host five dances. Should you attend every dance throughout the year, you get rewarded with a T-shirt that says “All 5 Dances”. This shirt follows what Johnny and I like to the T: A phrase that is meaningless unless you are in on the joke too. In all of our years of matching together, literally no one has recognized any of our shirts and that’s okay because it’s still hilarious to us! All 5 Dances is the perfect addition to our matching apparel and I can’t wait to step out together in them. 😀

I know exactly what shirt we’re going to match with each other next. If you’re familiar with the Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle Running Man, then stay tuned lol.

Do you have any matching clothes with your SO? Do you have any TV show T-shirts? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

New Hair, Who Dis? OOTD Bloopers

New Hair, Who Dis? OOTD Bloopers

Helloooo to you and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my New Hair, Who Dis? OOTD! After a refreshing day off to get my hair done a few Fridays ago, Johnny and I went on a fantastic Date Night. I was really excited because I left the salon, as always, feeling like a billion bucks and I couldn’t wait to show it off. With my hair and makeup already right, all I had to do was slip on the outfit I built in my head and hit the town. And, of course, absolutely SLAY in the following shots before dinner:

This past week was an incredibly busy one from start to finish. For the first time in a long time on Thursday, I ended up working a sixteen hour day and had to drive home in total white out conditions. As much as I would have loved to take a me day on Friday, the grind don’t stop! By the time my shift ended, I hit a complete wall but, you heard it here first: the grind don’t stop lol. Friday evening was my annual Christmas celebration with my bestie, Lea, and I had to rally. I cooked Cajun pasta for our dinner and it truly was an eat, drink, and be merry hang out. I cannot wait to show all of you my gift from her – it’s perfect!!

Once the festivities ended, I lingered around for a bit to hang out with Johnny and hit the bricks. Then, I woke up feeling like I got hit by a ton of bricks. Lol, I was so unbelievably tired and achy and no matter how much water I drank, I still felt thirsty. I was honestly worried I had Covid or was coming down with some kind of bug, but Johnny was feeling A-okay. As the morning continued, I literally had to go lay down and take a nap and I never, EVER take naps. That was what really made me worried as far as being sick goes because the only time I take naps is when I’m seriously under the weather.

When Johnny came up to check on me, I asked him for the millionth time if he was feeling okay. He was still right as rain and then broke down the activities of my last few days for me… I worked sixteen hours Thursday and had a longer day than intended on Friday because Lea came over later in the evening. He chalked the fatigue and soreness up to being tired and I am pleased to report that he was right on the money. After getting a ton of sleep and plenty of lounge time, I am writing this on Monday morning feeling *almost* as good as new. I say almost because a few extra hours of sleep instead of getting up at three AM wouldn’t hurt! 😀

In conclusion, the grind don’t stop lifestyle caught up to me so let this be a cautionary tale to take some time to recover after a long day. It will come around to bite you if you don’t!

Is your job tiring? How do you relax after a day at work? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Hand Me Down OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Hand Me Down OOTD! It’s safe to say that Johnny and I have an eclectic personal style and because of this, it feels like we are constantly getting hand me downs from our friends and family. It’s pretty cool because what we receive is almost always vintage and we are so about it. The last hand me down haul was from our best friend, Cliff, as he was clearing out some of his grandpa’s old clothes. Other than the sweater featured in this OOTD, nothing really caught my eye and, sadly, wearing said sweater was short lived. Take a look at some yikes shots and let’s discuss:

Ever since I was little, I always loved going shopping with my mom. And, ever since I was little, I can remember her looking at the tags of clothing we liked to make sure it was not made with wool. It could be the cutest thing in the world, but she would claim that it would be “too itchy” and that was the end of that. It makes sense that I have always associated wool with being itchy or maybe just maybe wool truly is the itchiest fabric of all time. I am going that route because…

The sweater seen above was The. Itchiest. F’ing. Sweater. EVER. Prior to putting it on, I didn’t do a material check and I was in misery the entire time I had it on. It was itchy, scratchy, and my skin literally felt like it was crawling. As soon as we were done taking pictures, I RAN to get changed and was not surprised to find that the sweater was made from half wool and half alpaca. It really is too bad because I loved the way this sweater looked but despised the way it felt, making it an instant no go. Regardless, it was still neat to wear a hand me down from Cliff’s grandpa for five or so minutes! 😀

In conclusion, no wool for me and this sweater will eventually find its way to triple hand me down status. I would call it “the one that got away” if it weren’t so damn uncomfortable!!

Is there a material or texture that you can’t stand? What is your favorite clothing material? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Hello! Johnny and I had a wonderful holiday celebration with his family on Christmas Eve. As per Miller Family tradition, we enjoyed a delicious meal, opened presents, and then had our annual viewing of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. This has been the formula for the past five years and I would not change it for the world! We were treated to so many amazing gifts and an extremely funny one that I just had to share with all of you. This was mailed to us from one of Johnny’s aunts and I literally can’t even lol. Check it out:

Johnny’s Aunt Eileen is a true spitfire of a woman. She is (as you can see) hilarious, sassy AF, and a ball of energy that cannot be contained. When Johnny opened this gift box, I didn’t see the “surprise” inside – but whatever it was gave him a full fledged laugh attack. He tossed the box to me with the adoring words of “just for you” and I was greeted by a middle finger on a spring!! We were in stitches and all in agreement that this was so “classic Eileen”. 😀

That’s it. That’s the post lol but I couldn’t not show it off to the blogosphere. And, in conclusion, this small and silly gag gift was one of our favorites so take a note from Aunt Eileen’s book and never be afraid to have FUN with your gifts!

What is the funniest gag gift you ever received? Do you have a White Elephant tradition in your family? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

A Calendar Double Take

A Calendar Double Take

Hello!! As you might remember, it took me a LONG time to get a smartphone. I was perfectly content with my old school flip phone and would have happily kept using it if it didn’t break. During that time in the stone age, I had a huge desktop calendar that I loved to plan my weeks on. Now, of course, I make great use out of the calendar on my phone and it keeps my days running as they should. From appointments to hang outs with friends and work functions, my calendar has it all. However, something I saw recently on my agenda really had me scratching my head. Check it out:

lol

The other night, I was penciling in some time for a slumber party with my niece. As I scrolled through my options, I saw that I had “my 600 lb life anniversary” marked down for the day after Christmas. I was honestly half asleep at the time so I screenshotted it and fell asleep with the plans to investigate it later. The following day, I almost thought I dreamed it but there it was in my photo gallery! I was racking my brain trying to think of what this cryptic message meant and then all of a sudden, it hit me…

The day after Christmas last year was the ONLY time in mine and Johnny’s five year plus relationship that he watched My 600 Lb. Life with me. For those of you who don’t know, I am a TLC addict. I LIVE for 90 Day Fiance, Sister Wives, Dr. Pimple Popper, and especially My 600 Lb. Life. Whenever I watch any of them, Johnny refuses to watch with me, but I suppose he was feeling some extra holiday spirit the day after Christmas! And, clearly, to mark the momentous victory of him watching with me, I marked it in my calendar. All I can say is, guess what we’re doing the day after Christmas?! 😀

I never thought my calendar would surprise me, but here we are because I was in a state of WTF when I saw our anniversary lol. I cannot wait for many, many more!

What is your favorite guilty pleasure show? What is your favorite show on TLC? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Howdy ya’ll and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Thanksgiving Pt. 1 OOTD! Johnny and I had a joyous two day celebration with our families and then we hibernated into a food coma for the rest of the weekend. It. Was. Awesome. lol! I never really feel too Christmasy until after Thanksgiving and now that it has come and passed, I am SO ready for it! Yes, I am very excited for the food but there is nothing better than Christmas with my nieces and nephews. 🙂 Let’s check out these bloopers and discuss a hairy situation:

Okay, I am genuinely curious. For those that shave their legs, armpits, etc – do you remember a point in your life when it felt like the end of the world when you missed a rogue patch of hair while shaving? I sure do and I was convinced everyone could tell! As time went on, of course, I cared less and less. And, now that the warm days of summer are long gone, I just don’t care at all lol. I have always hated shaving and it’s cold AF so no one will be any wiser to the hairy situation under my clothes, so I stopped bothering once fall hit. And, yes, I am SO aware that getting back to silky smooth will be a massive chore once the warm weather comes around!

When we were celebrating with Johnny’s family, it was So. Damn. Hot. in their house. The cardigan I had on was doing me no favors and all I wanted to do was take it off. Then, I remembered how hairy my armpits were and decided otherwise. The evening went on, until there came a point in the festivities when I was literally dying of heatstroke and I made the choice to take the cardigan off. Honestly, I was kind of self conscious because of my armpit hair and blessedly it seemed like no one noticed or cared. As I sat there stewing, my anxiety alleviated as I reminded myself that it’s just hair lol. There’s no rule stating you have to shave so it makes no difference how you maintain it.

The moral of the story? Your body, your hair! The evening did not come to a grinding halt as soon as I removed my cardigan so do whatever TF you want!

How often do you shave? Have you ever had a situation similar to mine? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
