Have you ever been in a situation where you realize you are running low on toilet paper, but have no motivation to go to the store? Have you resorted to taking a little extra TP from a public restroom to avoid going shopping for just a little bit longer? No? Just me? lol Adulting is hard, especially when you don’t want to do it.
I have not been in that toilet paper situation since I jumped on the Subscribe and Save bandwagon. You can subscribe to one or two items, OR if you have 5 or more subscriptions for the month Amazon will bump up your savings by 5% or more.
You can get all kinds of things like grocery staples, office supplies, and cosmetics. Below you can see what’s on my subscription list for January and you can totally see that my order is all over the place in terms of things I subscribe to.
My subscribe and save subscriptions for Jan so far.
I love that the subscription is also customizable. You can designate when subscriptions are sent to you each mother and often you need a particular subscription. For example, I don’t need 36 rolls of toilet paper every month. If I need 36 rolls of toilet paper every 5 months, I can set my subscription to do that. Setting subscriptions to come within certain time intervals helps me adult! Like did you know that you should be changing your toothbrush every 3ish months? I sure didn’t until recently, and I know I was using my brushes for waaaaaay longer. Now I can have tooth brushes as a subscription and whenever I get a new toothbrush in the mail, I will know its time to throw away the old one. Easy Peezy.
I’m going to need that toothbrush with the candy and juice Amazon is suggesting for me. haha
OH OH! And did I mention, they have pet supplies! It is so great for having pets, because then I can make sure my fur babies always have what the need. I get their food and litter through subscribe and save (and even occasional toys and treats). Trust me your fur babies will thank you!
My meows patiently waiting for me to finish this blog post.

Do you like sports? I love sports! I couldn’t tell you who my favorite player is or even what the positions mean. But sports have a special place in my heart. Once upon a time, my father really wanted a son. Instead, he got three little girls. My father was awesome and he…well…he got creative. My sisters and I grew up with sports. I was playing or watching sports ALL THE TIME. My sisters grew up to be quite sporty and I have my sports watching role down to a science. For example, I know what a full court press is. Maybe you do too, but it makes me feel fancy knowing what that is.
Watching sports is such a fun time and its a little strange as well. And I know people take the strangeness for granted, but when else in life can you watch others run around, while you lounge eating snacks and feeling no urgency to assist in anyway? If I was at work and my coworkers were running around and trash talking others because they were dressed differently, I would feel all sorts of different. Thinking about that image always makes me smile.
Hey look! I found a not so hidden Mickey!
Sporting events are never the first thing to come to mind when I am wanting to do something, but I really need to work on changing that. Especially since, if you aren’t picky about seating, it can be a fairly affordable outing. Sometimes, you can even get cute giveaways, like how I got my cute “Go Magic” sign above.
One of my favorite parts of watching sports is that it is an awesome excuse to eat some not very healthy food. Not super into hot dogs, nachos, and other typical sporting event cuisine? That’s okay, because I have an alternative for you! There is this movement going on in sports related to an elevated dining experience coupled with the typical sporty atmosphere of a stadium or arena. For instance, the Amway Center which is home to the Orlando Magic has such an establishment.
Orlando, USA – Orlando’s Amway Center home of the Orlando Magic located at 400 West Church Street.
The Amway Center has a restaurant called Jernigan’s and it is on the club level. You can buy fancy schmancy seats and add dining within Jernigan’s for an additional fee. I did not take this route, because I am not fancy schmancy. I wish I was, but I have student loans. Instead we bought tickets in the 10 dollarish range and made reservations for our entire party at Jernigan’s.
As an added bonus, you don’t have to call a reservation in, there is an online reservation option. Seating is also on a first come first serve basis as well, but why take the chance when reservations can be made online? We were seated on “the ledge” which overlooks that court. It was a really great view and we ended up sitting there for the entire game.
My view from “The Ledge”
The dining was buffet style and cost in the $60 range per person. This price does not include drinks. However, it can include beverages (beer and wine), when you are a Loge Ticket Holder. The buffet had all your typical buffet staples: charcuterie, salad bar, pasta options, a meat carving station, and more. It is also my understanding that the offerings also change which is nice, so then you won’t be having the same thing over and over again depending on how often you frequent the games. The food is also available until the end of third quarter when there is a last call for food and drinks.
My favorite part of this dining experience was the sundae bar! It was so fun. There were other dessert options like cookies and cheesecake, but I was all about that sundae life. They had fun toppings like hot fudge, caramel, coconut shreds, sprinkles, and crushed oreos. I was in heaven. It was a great way to end the night.
Unfortunately, the Magic ended up losing the game, but I had such a fun time cheering them on. I definitely need to add this to my “go to” list when I have no idea what to do, but need to get out of my house to feel like a human being. Yes, I could have been doing something work related or more adulty like running errands or cleaning, but sometimes I need a “me” break to get out and do something and this was just what I needed.
