Hey, It's Okay Tuesday!

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. They have a section called Hey, It’s Okay and will list a bunch of things to be okay about. I think I’m going to do this every Tuesday now. You're welcome to join in and do something like this on your diary. Doesn't have to be on a Tuesday either.

Hey, It's Okay....


To not understand why people bring their miniature dogs everywhere. It’s an animal, not a purse. I don’t need Fido me eyeing me in the store, thanks.


To know that you’ll never use a Diva Cup (but be in awe of those who do.)


To think the Paparazzi need to be banned from taking photos when celebrities are out with their children.


To only eat flavored oatmeal because plain oatmeal reminds you of paste.


To know that you’ll just be using one of those boxed Easter egg dye kits to decorate eggs and nothing more than that because you are allergic to crafts.


To wonder what the hell Jesse James was thinking.


To wish Supernanny was available for rent.


To want to shriek, “What did I DO? How can I make it better?” when you realize you’ve lost a blog follower. (Same goes for a Twitter follower. I lose Twitter followers on a daily basis. Guess people don’t like to hear about farting children. Oops.)


To have bought ANOTHER pair of shoes for your daughter even though she has plenty. But hello....gold seahorses?! PERFECT for the upcoming beach trip.

  1. I agree on oatmeal, it needs a little kick to work for me. I can't go plain. I just can't.

  3. My best friend uses a Diva Cup and I AM in awe! How the eff does that thing work!?

    I too will be using a boxed easter egg dying kit. And that's OK! /cheer

  4. Oh..and I've often wondered what it would take to get on Supernanny. Does she take on 15 year olds?

    ReplyDelete
  5. I'm cracking up because I feel your pain about the blog follower thing - I just lost, then gained, then lost a follower all within like an hour. It makes me wonder exactly why I suck enough to be unfollowed. But oh well. :)

    And also? Totally agree on the miniature dog thing. WTF?

  6. I like to think the dropping Twitter followers are just the random spammers, but sometimes when a chunk of them go, I feel like crying and writing them mournful letters begging them to tell me what I did and asking why they don't love me anymore!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Do they make shoes with gold seahorses in my size?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Didn't realize I wasn't a follower, so I signed on to make up for the one you lost! Plain oatmeal sucks!Gotta have me some sugar and flavor!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Agree on the Little dog deal...I HATE THAT!

    ReplyDelete
  10. I felt myself nodding in agreement with you on all of these.

  11. Dude. My MIL stopped by yesterday, and she brought her creepy little chiwawa. And while my 2 NORMAL-SIZED dogs and my cat (who is also bigger) were freaking out, I was wondering why on EARTH she felt the need to bring that creepy little thing to my house with her...

    Diva cups also kind of creep me out, cuz I just KNOW I'd spill it everywhere :P

    ReplyDelete
  12. Agreed on all fronts today... Especially the follower thing. I don't have that many to begin with and I KNOW some of the things I write are downright retarded, but damn, what a blow to the ego!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Boxed dye here - for eggs & hair! Plain oatmeal, not flavored - sorry! What's a Diva cup? Little dogs - totally agree. When a sign says no pets, that INCLUDES mini dogs. Oh well, it's okay Tuesday, so Happy Easter!

    ReplyDelete
  14. My daughter has been wearing a diva cup for at least 2 years. It's never leaked or failed or anything. I still can't do it. Just like I can do the wash and wear pads. Or diapers. Or anything really. Well, now I'm starting to get mad at myself for my lack of green-iosity.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Ok, I had to go google Diva Cup. Wha??! How??! Look, I try to avoid contact with the whole "area" as much as possible during "then" anyway. Sticking my hand all up in it... uhm, if I was OK with that I would have gone into obstetrics! Ewww... just sayin'. Plus, after 5 kids, I'd need like the Diva Bowl.

    ReplyDelete
  16. One of my good friends RAVES about her Diva Cup. The concept is great. The work involved... not so much.

    And thanks for reminding me that I forgot to pick up fruit yesterday at the grocery store. Looks like plain oatmeal-paste for me! Yum.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I don't know if the Diva Cup is worse than reusable knit tampons, or not.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Holy buckets! When I seen your blog in my blog roll.. I was like IS IT TUESDAY AGAIN! :) The weeks are going by so fast!

    ..... You are too hilarious. I think that we all feel the same about losing followers. B*tches!

    As for the shoes. My son has WAY too many. Boots, loafers, several pairs of tennis shoes, etc.. its rediculous! Lets not even get started on clothes! You and I BOTH have an addiction there I think :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Cute shoes. A girl can never have too many.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Where did you find those shoes?! We NEED those for vacation!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I had to google Diva Cup and when I did I realized that this is the same thing that's been around for years, just a new name.

    They are disgusting. Were 20 years ago, still are today. Can you spell SPILLAGE??

    Cute shoes.

    ReplyDelete
  22. to buy that Coach tote bag cuz it was so pretty and well I really liked it.

    ....
    Yeah wth was Jesse thinking.

    The shoes are fab. Do they come in my size

    ReplyDelete
  23. the diva cup totally freaks me out. beyond ness.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I hope you buying the gold seahorse shoes means it's ok that I just bought my unborn daughter her 10th pair of shoes! And makes it acceptable that my 9 year old son has at least 2 dozen pairs!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I love me a supernanny!! "It's not okay to hit mummy!" Love her.

    I feel yet another compulsion to play!

    It's okay...

    to jump up and try to "drop it like it's hot" during the commercial break on America's Best Dance Crew even though you might need an emergent massage following a sorry attempt.

    to wonder why people are using adjectives like "sick" and "ill" to describe something not so sick or ill but really well done.

    to want to strangle whoever invented the bedazzler!

    to want to strangle those that are bedazzeled from head to toe!

    Loving the "Hey It's Okay Tues".

    I don't have enough followers to get upset when they stop following, but that would totally hurt my feelings! Sorry girly.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Plain oatmeal=paste. True fact!

    And, I'm scared to ask, but what the heck is a Diva Cup?

    What's wrong with the boxed kits? Good to me.

    ReplyDelete
  27. What pray tell is a "Diva cup"? Is it a bra? Oh, and when I come to visit, hide those shoes because I totally want them! Tres Fabulous! I love your list!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Girl tell me about it (Jesse James)!! That skank looks like a trannie if you ask me...just sayin'!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hey, It's Okay Tuesday - should have included that it is ok to never know what a Diva Cup is - cause I didn't until I googled it. And once you've googled it you can't un-google it so now I'm stuck with this knowledge. Ick.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I am so with you on the plain oatmeal! I have a hard enough time with flavored but plain - bleck!

    ITA about Jesse James? Hello? What on earth were you thinking????

    ReplyDelete
  31. For the people who asked where I bought the sandals: Target! ;) They are on sale this week too!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ooooh, the gold seahorses . . . I was at Target yesterday and did NOT see those. I may be going back. Too cute!

    I am right there with ya on the oatmeal. I was feeling super healthy about a week ago and tried it. Ohmyga - nastiness! Won't ever do that again. EVER

    ReplyDelete
  33. I am in complete agreement with you on all of these! ESPECIALLY the diva cup. Such a money saving, green idea that I wish I could use one but....ewwwwww! I have a hard enough time with tampons let alone sticking a whole cup up there!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. My little girl will just NOW wear shoes at 13 months, and they are those ugly, high top white baby shoes. I live for the day I can move on too pretty shoes, like the gold seahorse. *sigh*
    I have friends that use Diva cups. I'm too dexterity challenged to even try such a thing! I noticed some stores selling disposable versions, which defeats the purpose if you ask me.

    ReplyDelete
  35. yep, all okay in my book. Except shoes for big girls too, right?

    ReplyDelete
  36. I'm so with you on the Jesse James thing. Hello?! You're married to Sandra Bullock idiot!! Are you blind?? Or just stupid??

    And about the shoes. Because you can never have too many. EVER.

    ♥Spot

    ReplyDelete
  37. Plain oatmeal is downright disgusting.

    Is there another way to decorate eggs other than using a box?

    ReplyDelete
  38. I had no idea about what a diva cup was until I Googled it. Got to say, it's def not for me (and I don't know anyone who uses it). .

    I agree with the other things, oatmeal, paparazzi, bringing Fido in public places just because you can, Jesse James--what the hell?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh how I agree with all of that! What was Jesse James thinking? I saw him on The Apprentice and I loved him - then we watched Jesse James is a dead man and loved him more.

    Who would cheat on Sandra? The poor dear.

    ReplyDelete
  40. ooo I would buy those shoes for me! Sometimes kids get the good stuff and they so don't appreciate it!
    And oatmeal... I add blueberries and honey to the plain stuff and it makes it all better!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Ok...I'd never heard of a Diva Cup, so I googled it. WTF? I am in awe. Women seriously use those?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Gosh I gotta figure out how to follow ya on twitter!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I don't get that about the dogs, at all. My cousin's mil tried to bring her dog in to see my cousin's newborn...who was in the NICU. WTH????

    I only freak out at losing blog followers. I don't know how many twitter followers I have, so I don't notice that number- mostly b/c I usually just use my bb to go on that.

    ReplyDelete
  44. uuuuugggghhhh DIVA CUPS...

    those JUST FREAK ME OUT!!!! then again, i truly am NOT one to deal with blood very well!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Givin' credit where credit is due... I stole this idea from you and did my own "Hey, It's Okay!"s today, here. Thanks for the idea! :)

    ReplyDelete
  46. I agree with it all! And I love those shoes!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I dont even know what a diva cup is!!??

    ReplyDelete
  48. I DO wonder what the hell Jesse James was thinking!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I love this idea!! This is way fun! Visiting you back and just loving your blog!! :) Your newest follower!

    ReplyDelete
  50. You are right on all counts-- AGAIN. But especially the whole Jesse James thing... And right after Sandra Bullock makes that little Oscar speech about finally knowing what it's like to have somebody 'have your back'. Yeah, well, turns out he had a LOT of backs. Like Tiger Woods almost, but without the charisma...

    ReplyDelete
  51. Those shoes are a must! And really....can one ever have enough shoes?

    Diva cup...niiiice....

    ReplyDelete
  52. My best friend uses the Diva Cup and she is way cooler than I will ever be... so I know there's no point in trying it.

    Unflavored oatmeal tastes like shag carpet.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I too am allergic to crafts. I'm so glad it's ok :)

    ReplyDelete
  54. I love my Diva Cup. I think it's one of those "you have to try it" things. But yeah, it's not for everybody.

    If I lost a blog follower, I would have...zero followers. So, even if you lose a few, you still have way more than me! :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. You HAVE to tell me where you got those adorable sandals!!! My daughter LOVES seahorses...she'd go nuts for those sandals!

    I never thought losing a follower here and there would affect me but it does. We're all human with raw emotions..it can't be helped to not have hurt feelings over it!

    ReplyDelete
  56. To add two spoonfuls of brown sugar to regular oatmeal so it doesn't taste like paste??? Yep, I just sugary it up!

    New twitter follower. I kinda don't know how I wasn't already following you on twitter, but I'm lame like that

    ReplyDelete
  57. It's okay to think that a Diva Cup is like a Madonna Bra.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I have a diva cup, and yeah, I've never used it.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Seriously, a girl can NEVER have too many shoes. It's impossible.

    And really?! You lost a follower? First wth were they thinking anyway? lol. And second - I swear every time I come here there are more followers, which, btw, I have been a loyal follower since you had like 40. Once upon a time I had 25 followers, and then I messed with my layout, and now, even months later, I still only have 4. Geez.

    My bff uses those cup thingies, and actually washes/reuses and stuff. I don't ask. All I know is she's an EMT and I guess used to...seeing gore and stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Okay, so I must be like, so old, 'cause I have NO CLUE what a diva cup is. Guess I gotta go surfing. You COULD have posted a picture, ya know?

    I HATE when I lose a follower. Not that it happens too often, mind you :) But I do wonder - how can someone not like me?

    cute shoes. do they come in a size 8?

    ReplyDelete
  61. I'm back. Holy crap! Just looked up what a Diva Cup is! Know wonder I had no idea what it was - I'm in menopause! LOL! Still- there's NO WAY I would use such a thing. Looks too messy to me! But look what I learned today!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Great idea - and great post! And the shoes are adorable. but I would like to add to the list that it's ok to buy another pair of shoes for yourself also - cause I can't have enough shoes!

    thanx for visiting my blog!
