All 5 Dances!!!!

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

Special Delivery

Hello! For those of you who don’t know, I am an independent provider and work with people with special needs. The services provided through the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities are considered essential and I have still been going to work Monday through Friday. Going to work has now consisted of just staying at each client’s home instead of getting them out and about in the community. And, no matter where I am, I’m still just as bored as if I was in my apartment. Lol, we all are!

I am sure many providers have said the same thing. I mean, there’s only so many movies you can watch, games you can play, and crafts you can complete until there is literally nothing left. So, my county’s board of Developmental Disabilities held a donation drive to help provide us with some new activities for our clients.

Last week, a reusable bag full of goodies was left on my parent’s porch. When I opened in up, I was so surprised to see all of the following:

Something new is always exciting and I’m looking forward to sharing all of these treats with my clients. There seems to be something for everyone I work with in my care package and I am so thankful for such a generous and thoughtful gift. I definitely feel a new found pep in my step when it comes to going to work. Because, let’s be honest, I think everyone who is still working right now doesn’t really want to! But, I just know I’ll have some great days on the job ahead and that is a wonderful change of pace! 🙂

How are you helping your community during this crazy time? What helps keep you occupied at home? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Monday Update: Special Delivery Edition

Monday Update: Special Delivery Edition

Hi everyone and a very happy Monday to all of you! This Friday, a super special package was delivered to yours truly from a giveaway that I won and I’m so hyped that I just had to blog about it. Seriously, I never win anything. Ever. So, obviously, I was extremely excited when I found out that I won a giveaway that the darling Julie was running on her page, Beauty & A Book. I wouldn’t say that I have “bad” luck, so to speak, but my luck is never exactly “good” either, so after a super sucky week thanks to the Little Red Love Machine getting tboned, a giveaway win was just what the doctor ordered! Take a look at my new hair care goodies:

^^^ Woohoo!

My Prizes:

  • Salon Tech heat protecting spray (which is awesome because I flat iron my hair every day)
  • Salon Tech shampoo (which will be going to my mom because I don’t wash my hair)
  • Eurora face and body moisturizer
  • A new copper core brush

Okay – and just to clarify, yes: I don’t wash my hair. Well, I wash it once a month when I’m redying it but that’s all. Although, I wouldn’t even consider that “washing” because I only condition my hair after dying it. My fiery red locks would be nonexistent if I washed my hair frequently. The last time I remember thoroughly washing my hair was…I actually don’t remember! But, my hair is all the better for it and that’s all I have to say about that!

ANYWAYS, I want to send a HUGE thank you to Julie from Beauty & A Book for sending your girl some giveaway loving. It infinitely brightened a super dumb week so merci beaucoup!

I would love to be able to send Julie some followers on her social media platforms because, unfortunately, I only have a Facebook! So please give her a follow on Twitter, Instagram, or Snapchat with her handle: jeweleemc

THANKS!! 😉

So there you have it, this week’s Monday Update: Special Delivery Edition! How was everyone’s Easter weekend? Would you consider yourself as having good or bad luck? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
