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:

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! 🙂

Summer Switch Up OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my Summer Switch Up OOTD! Thanks to an amazing pair of trapeze pants by Patrons Of Peace, some new life was finally breathed into my summer wardrobe. Saying that my summer clothes in my closet is lacking is a huge understatement and I was so happy to find something to switch things up… Hence the name of the OOTD. 😉 I felt great in the look that I created and I can tell how confident I felt even in the bloopers! Check it out:

This literally has nothing to do with bloopers, BUT I had some visitors on my balcony as I type this so I will share the story…

When Johnny and I first moved into our new apartment, we began getting fairly regular visits from the neighborhood racoon. She’s a big old gal who loves to snack and she would get treats from the dumpster across the street, bring it up to our balcony, and chow down. We have witnessed her eating everything from burritos to chicken! Even though it’s pretty nasty to have dumpster food on our porch, we always get a kick out of seeing her. And, apparently, she’s up on our balcony more often than we realize according to our neighbor. I guess our apartment is just the place to be!

This past weekend, we were blessed with a visit from our racoon friend and were surprised with more guests… She had four babies! They. Are. Adorable. Mama and her brood were running around on the stairs, on our porch, and the roof beside it and it was so cute I couldn’t stand it. I have seen them several times since in the mornings when I’m working and they just finished making their rounds on the balcony. I’m sure that other people feed them, which isn’t a good thing. But Johnny and I don’t. I think they can just tell that him and I are freaking awesome and want to be in our general vicinity. I’m always happy to see them and can’t wait to watch the lil babes grow up! ❤

OOTDs, bloopers, and raccoons oh my! You never know what kind of commentary you’re going to get during the blooper reel lol. Keep it locked for a new Lil Red’s Book Club review coming tomorrow – finally!!!

Do you have any wildlife that visits your property? What is your favorite animal? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
