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. You're welcome to join in and do something like this on your diary. Doesn't have to be on a Tuesday either.

--------------------------

To scoff at the experts who ramble on how fattening Thanksgiving dinner is. Who cares? I’m not going to pass up a piece of pecan just because it has a billion calories in it. It’s THANKSGIVING.


To have wanted to say, “I really don’t care,” when the Crazy Twilight Lady went on about how the final Twilight movie is starting to film.


To be amused that the chick who voices Dora the Explorer wants more money. She deserves it saying as she repeats the same thing OVER AND OVER AND OVER again.


To be tempted to put Natalie in gymnastics but worry Natalie will be like, “No thanks. Not right now,” when the teacher asks her to do something.


To rarely make anything from scratch.


To be a fan of Steak Um sandwiches. Remember awhile back how I blogged about not knowing how the crap to even make them?


To be a little weirded out that Marcia Cross who plays Bree on Desperate Housewives has no wrinkle lines.


To still be amazed when people give up soda. I’d seriously keel over and die. That’s how I get my caffeine since I don’t drink coffee.


To be amused that a reader of my blog sent me an e-mail that said, “That dude you liked on The Tudors, the one who lost his head, he’s on a Canadian show called Heartland. I’m Canadian and don’t watch it much, but I think he messes around with horses in it.” Many dudes lost their head on The Tudors but that kind reader was talking about Torrance Coombs who needs to make it big in America, so I can watch him in more things. And I’m amused that he messes with horses on a Canadian show. I’m curious now.


To enjoy shocking other mothers by saying things like, “We had eggs for breakfast. Non-organic. And we’re having hot dogs for dinner. Also, non-organic, probably made of cow ass.”

  1. The last line made me spit out my coffee, from laughter! I have to remember that one & use it :)

  2. Ha, ha! You must be the talk amongst the other mothers! That's okay! We love you!

    BTW, I've been on the hunt for pumpkin pop tarts. I went to Wal-mart yesterday and there were no such things there!

  3. Oh my gosh the last one is so me! I agree with confused homemaker...almost spit my coffee out.

  4. that's definitely the kind of thing I will be saying to mothers ... organic, really? we have all survived this long eating non-organic. my child will be fine eating dirt too...yeah I'll be the talk amongst mothers lol

  5. OMG. That is what my 4 year-old is doing now. You'll tell him to do something and, polite as can be, he'll say "no thank you."

  6. I HATE all the Twilight crapola. I don't get the whole mentality that undead, blood-sucking teenagers are hot. I REALLY don't get why so many women who could be Edward's mother go so bananas over it.

    And the hotdogs? Pretty sure they have pig snout in them, too. Mm-mmm. :)

  7. messing with horses.. yea! now i'm curious!!

    that last one.. made me laugh.. i have no kids yet.. but if i did.. i'm right there with ya!!!

  8. Marcia Cross is and always has been frightening to me.

    ReplyDelete
  9. If it's okay to WANT to say you don't care to the crazy Twilight lady but what if you ACTUALLY do say something like that? Is it still okay? That is like the story of my life!

    ReplyDelete
  10. if having eggs for breakfast is shocking to people maybe they take themselves a little too seriously! And Dora wanting more money for repeating things? from episode to episode? Not worth it!

    ReplyDelete
  11. The last one makes my day, even more so than the rest. You should make this Tuesday thing a linky or something.

    ReplyDelete
  12. These are always great!

    What is Thanksgiving if not for fattening foods?!?!?!?

    While I do like the Twilight books,I am not obsessed with them. Good books, sub par movies. That is all.

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that last one. As the only non-organic, non-nearly vegetarian/vegan in my online mothers group, I always feel a little outnumbered. The fact that I ate KFC and Papa John's all weekend would horrify them.

  13. Your last one is my favorite. Organic schmorganic.

  14. I gave up soda for about 6 months, once. Worst 6 months of my life.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Mmmm, hot dogs... I enjoy grossing my friends out by eating them with relish (no pun intended) after openly admitting that I have no idea what parts they're made of. I just love them.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'm with you ... it's THANKSGIVING for God's sake. Just shut up, eat and take a nap, people! =)

    ReplyDelete
  17. I totally agree about Thanksgiving - you can fall off your diet for ONE day people. :)

    also - prepare to be amazed once again. I gave up soda (pop to us in the north) in 10th grade and never looked back.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I actually laughed at your last line/paragraph. It brought out thoughts of the "Worthless Co-Worker", who I often blog about, and her snooty organic food only lifestyle.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Haha! I love the egg and hot dog comment!

    ReplyDelete
  20. OMG, totally loving that last one!!!!!! I made the mistake of telling my older kids that hotdogs were probably made from monkey lips and chicken brains and they were lovely enough to repeat it to a friend at a party who was serving....you guessed it...hotdogs.

    ReplyDelete
  21. What? Eggs are awesome for breakfast!!

    I don't drink soda. ;) Only very rarely. I have blood sugar issues and soda doesn't help at all!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Pfft. Organic food. What a waste. I'm with you on the soda though. Sweet nectar of the gods.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I might be able to quit drinking soda if Cherry Dr Pepper didn't exist. As long as it does, I'll be sucking that crap down like there's no tomorrow. Even the dentist telling me I need $2100 in dental work done because I drink soda didn't stop me.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I've tried a million times to quit drinking soda but I can't. I don't drink coffee either so its my source of caffeine. I just can't do it!

    ReplyDelete
  25. You could promote your blog as 100% organic...

    I actually said, "Amen!" to the Dora Explorer one..

    ReplyDelete
  26. So true about Marcia Cross. What is up with that woman?! I was just watching Desperate Housewives Sunday when my husband said, "I don't find anything at all attractive about that woman" and then "She'd make a good vampire"

    Oh btw, I was at Target today and there was nary a pumpkin pie pop-tart in sight! I had to settle for those Little Debbie pumpkin delights.

    ReplyDelete
  27. the last one was perfect. I also enjoy adding, And I let my kids eat candy.

    ReplyDelete
  28. LOL@ last one.
    I'm amazed by people who give up soda as well. I;d be a mess without my Coke Zero.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Maybe you should tell the crazy Twilight neighbor about eating cow-ass weiners. Two birds, one stone kinda thing.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I thought it was from cow lips - the ass meat is sold as hamburgers

    ReplyDelete
  31. I bet the hot dogs are made from more than the cows ass!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Is it ok that i loved each and every one of these? Except the steak um thing. I'm perplexed by that one.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I agree. Never pass up on a piece of pecan. Every day is a pecan day.

    ReplyDelete
  34. My kids go to school with some of the Crunchy Bunch too, they make me crazy!

    Personally I think hot dogs made from cow's ass are the tastiest. Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I am also Canadian, and will be checking out heartland. I've seen it a few times, and never noticed him. BTW, You ruined it for me, I didn't know he loses his head(well historically I knew, but I haven't got to that part yet)..

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oh good, you eat hotdogs for dinner too? I'm feeling much better about things! And organic is just dumb, so there!

    Have I mentioned I love your Tuesday blogs? I totally do.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm with you....scratch? LOL...scratch what? LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  38. HAHA! That last one made me laugh out loud!! Also totally agree about Marsha Cross' wrinkle free face... Creepy!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Well, these are why I adore you. Me and my non organic eggs. And my love of thanksgiving dinner. Don't give me that crap about "filling up on water or a salad beforehand" shut up and eat.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I drink coffee too, but I couldn't imagine giving up soda. I'm amazed as well when people say they have done it. Some meals, you just HAVE to drink soda with.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I actually like the hotdogs with all the butts in it.. you mean eggs come organic??

    Gotta say I don't agree on the Steak ums though.

    Thanks for the laughs.

    ReplyDelete
  42. LMAF! This is a great segment. I'm definitely going to have to try it out. I'm with you-Thanksgiving is my #1 favorite holiday. You don't have the pressure of giving gifts, and your only requirement is to eat a lot of food. Win win!

    ReplyDelete
  43. HERE HERE on the Thanksgiving dinner... except my mom will be here and you may have seen Monday's post...

    At least you can count on Natalie being polite in her refusal!

    I showed up at a friend's door with a basket and she called me "Bree" (that was 20 lbs ago) I was slightly insulted! I don't even have red hair!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I busted a button, giggling so hard. To which I say...did I mention I used the microwave to cook that hotdog and served it with a peice of processed cellophane wrapped cheese....lol...who knew we could just relax. Thanks for your two bits.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Marcia Cross totally freaks me out. She's a freak of nature.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I never serve anything organic - unless it was on sale ;)

    And who doesn't love a good hot dog, come on!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Only a fool would part me from my Diet Coke. It's part of my Road to Sanity. People who stress excessively about organic food and people who worry about calories on special occasion should be forced to eat in separate restaurants from the normal folk.

    ReplyDelete
  48. i liked this one....i also like a daily dr pepper a fried non organic egg...and well...cow ass hot dogs :)

    ReplyDelete
  49. BWAA HA HA cow's ass! i got to use that one!
