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 have liked the movie Little Fockers but not as much as the second one, Meet the Fockers. What can I say, I cracked up each time that little kid went, "Ass. Hooooooolllllleeeeee."


To want to see the new Adam Sandler movie, the one where he pretends to be married.


To still think of Jennifer Connelly as Sarah from Labyrinth. "You have no POWER over me!"


To not be able to figure out Tommy's Kung Zhu Zhu pet game. I tried to play a level and I sucked. I still am the champion of MarioKart on Nintendo 64 though.


To have finished 3 out of the 4 books that I checked out at the library while visiting my parents. I have until Wednesday to finish the last one. (The books I finished are Not My Daughter by Barbara Delinksy, The Bright Star in the Sky by Marian Keyes, and Big Boned by Meg Cabot. All enjoyable. All I recommend.)


To be curious about that oatmeal that McDonalds now serves. Normally I'm not a fan of oatmeal unless it has lots of sugar in it. Like I LOVE the strawberries and cream oatmeal and always wondered how people could eat the plain crap and like it.


To have actually won Yahtzee when I played with my Mom and Nana Jo. I mean, okay, it was the very last game but still. And I didn't curse when the dice wouldn't listen to me either even though I wanted to call them all sorts of awful names.


To be taking my Mom to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch. She's not entirely thrilled as she says that she seems to gain weight whenever I visit. Gee, wonder why ;)


To have picked up some Sketcher Tone Ups today. The Shape Ups are nice, but I sort of feel like I'm in heels, and I teeter every which way and I worried I'd go careening into a stranger if I got them. So I went for the Tone Ups, which feel more like regular shoes. That was another gift from my parents. Now I can tone my buttocks, as it said on the box. Neat.


To be ready for television shows to come off of Christmas break.

  1. What? Wait, I'm number one? I feel so freaking cool, RIGHT NOW!!!

    Anyway, I love that you got tone ups after having the shape ups. Too funny.

  2. I think the point of oatmeal is that it tastes bad but makes you feel virtuous. That means you get to eat lots of sugary things for the rest of the day, right?

  3. It's also ok to close your kid's bedroom door when you just can't take the mess anymore...

  4. I think that you should be proud to have read three books while not getting a visit from child services. It's also okay to read all 8 of the Pretty Little Liars books in a row like you are 15, right? (Please say yes.)

  5. I like the plain oatmeal, but I have to mix either bananas or raisins in there.

    Cheesecake factory... yummmmmm

  7. I get more blogging done when TV shows are on break but I do miss them.

  8. Zhu Zhu pets make me uncomfortable. Why are we encouraging hamsters to have hobbies and accessories?

    Labyrinth is cinematic gold. For me, the combination of muppets, Jennifer Connely and David Bowie just doesn't get any better.

    I am SO ready for the return of all my shows! There isn't anything good on TV right now =/

  11. Oh, yes, tv shows need to come off of break!

    I was slightly bored by Little Fockers.

    I love Barbara Delinsky books.

  12. McDee's has oatmeal? Can I have mine fried?

    How's the toning going? :)

  13. You'll have to share how the Tone Ups work - I'm always too nervous to try those out, worried either it'll do nothing or I'll fall down all the time!

    love your list, as usual :)

  15. I have been feeling like I need to jump on the Tone Ups bandwagon. Maybe I can wear them to the Cheesecake Factory.

  16. I read that Marion Keyes book...it's cute :) I've just started Jodi Picout new one House Rules. So far I'm enjoying it. I just wish I had more time to read! My vacation from work is sadly not much of one :p

  17. Loved that Barbara Delinsky book - actually, I love all of her books. Hope the fourth in your pile pans out as well. Enjoy the Cheesecake Factory - we don't have any left here. I'm envious. And I agree, I'm totally ready for the end of the seasonal TV hiatus.

  18. Little Fockers was lame. They showed all the good stuff in the previews.

    And I totally would have stuck it to Jessica Alba. No guy is THAT loyal.

  19. I am totally the champion of MarioKart on Nintendo 64 too!

  20. Totally feel you on the majority of those. Seriously..who does like that plain crap oatmeal. And a huge AMEN for the Cheesecake Factory. Nom nom....Ohhh the body fat I will be acquiring.

  21. I do this series on my blog as well. It's cool to put my weirdness out there in the universe. Good post.

  22. If Mom gains weight on your visits, what happens to you?

    ReplyDelete
  23. I do believe the special shoes will negate anything you eat at The Cheesecake Factory. So you're all good. ;) Just tell your mom to get some, too.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yes, total own on MarioKart 64! That was the one video game I had growing up, and I can DOMINATE anyone any day. :D I used to like Peach, but nowadays I'd rather play as Toad.

  25. The Cheesecake Factory...yum!
    And glad to hear you enjoyed Little Fockers. I liked the first and second one as well. Wasn't sure they could do a third one that would compare.

  26. I love labyrinth! You remind me of the babe, the babe with the power, what power? The power of voodoo, who do? You do. Do what? Remind me of the babe! Sorry im such a nerd!
