Hey, It's Okay

 I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

......to be excited to see Natalie's show this weekend. It's a variety show with different ensemble songs. I know she has missed performing. 

.....to also be thrilled to see Spider-Man Brand New Day on Thursday. We are watching the movie and then Natalie has to head to rehearsal soon after. If someone in the movie dies, she's going to show up in tears. 

......to currently be reading Theo of Golden by Allen Levi. It's about Theo, an elderly man who shows up in the small down of Golden. No one really knows his story, just that he's buying all the drawings made by a local artist that have been displayed at the local coffee house. He's returning all the portraits to their owners, and by doing so, he gets to know the subject. It's a beautiful story, and we all need a Theo in our life. 

.......to be excited over the MCU news that came out over the weekend. One big one is that Ryan Gosling is the new Ghost Rider. I admit I never saw the original Ghost Rider, but I will tune into this one. 

.....to think this Root Beer Float soda is delicious. If you don't have vanilla ice cream, this is a tasty replacement. You get the root beer flavor with that rich cream flavor.

Spider-Man Gift Ideas

 Guess what comes out this week?

Spider-Man Brand New Day! To prepare, we've been watching all the Spider-Man movies. The ones with Tobey, Andrew, and yes, Tom Holland, the current Spider-Man. 

We have tickets for the first showing at our local movie theater. When I purchased the tickets a few weeks ago, many of the seats were already taken, so it will be a popular film. Everyone seems to love Spider-Man.

If you do, or have someone in your life who is a fan of the red and blue superhero, I have gift ideas. 

Do you want to be able to sling webs like Spider-Man? You can with this Web-Slinger! It came with silly string to look more realistic, but if you run out, you can fill it with water. It's perfect for the summer. It also came with a special glove. 

Want a friend to perch on your shoulder? We found this shoulder friend at Walmart. It attaches to the shoulder with a magnet, and is adorable. I will be sporting him when I see the movie.

We loved this Spider-Man balloon. I found him at H-E-B, the local grocery store in Texas, but I would think he's available in many spots.

Natalie was excited to see a Punk Rock Spider-Man Squishmallow at Walmart. She loves Into The Spiderverse.

Check out these school supplies at Target. Natalie picked them up for college.

This Spider-Man hoodie from Hot Topic is perfect to stay warm. 

Over at Walmart, they have an entire display for Spider-Man Brand New Day. There are all sorts of goodies--t-shirts, sweatpants, toys, blindbags...

Natalie wanted this walkie talkies for college. 

If you need some new summer shoes, there were under $20:

If you're on a budget, this loofah was under $6 and adorable. They actually had a whole Spider-Man bathroom line if you wanted to upgrade your decor:

Finally, you can always grab a Spider-Man costume. We found this one on Amazon here, and it was affordable. 

So will you be watching Brand New Day this week? 

Amusing Back To School Notebooks

Next month many will be returning to school so this means shopping for supplies. My son graduated college, so he's done.

But my daughter is a sophomore in college, so she still needs items. We've always preferred the notebooks that made us smile. Sure, you can get one with a pretty flower on it, but what about one that says this:

It can be quite accurate, especially if you have an 8 AM math class. Who would be cheerful for that?

Also, check this notebook out:

Who doesn't love butter? Share you excitement over butter with this. 

Cat fan? Check out this regal feline:

Finally, it's not exactly humorous, but I did get a kick of the notebook with this dino on it:

I always love finding the notebooks with personality. It can make a tough class a little bit easier to get through. I found these at Target and Walmart.
