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 have had a low key 4th of July. The neighborhood always lights up with fireworks, so I was able to see a show from my porch with the kids.

.....to be glad Natalie survived working on the 4th of July. She said it actually wasn't too bad. There were lots of people, but they were all behaving. 

......to be going to a fun event over the weekend put on by Kings Of Horror called Summer Camp. The actress who played Little Periwinkle in Welcome To Derry will be there so my daughter is going to have her Funko signed by her. Plus there's other celebrities (the woman who played Pippi Longstocking is also there!) and vendors. 

......to have finished reading Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. It's about Natalie, a tradwife influencer who has millions of followers. She has 6 kids and makes it seem like she does it all--naturally, the nannies and other helpers are hidden. Then she wakes up one day and finds herself in a different life. It's the same husband, kinda, and the kids sort of look like hers...but something is off. Did she time travel? Or is she losing her mind? The book takes you on a wild ride and reminds you that if someone online appears to be perfect, that there is so much more going on behind the scenes. 

.......to have been excited when I saw Halloween stuff in Target's dollar spot. I mean, it's summerween I guess!

Eat All You Want At Golden Corral

 I have said it before and I'll say it again: I love a good buffet. Being able to eat as much as I want for a set price? Yes please! 

Golden Corral is a fantastic buffet spot. I've been going for years. 

Now my kids love it, so naturally we had to stop in. 

These are the prices. Sometimes the prices are more if you add on a lobster tail. And dinner prices are more expensive than lunch because during dinner, you can get steak and such. 

I recommend signing up for their rewards program, because they'll occasionally have discounts. On your birthday, you get a buy one, get one buffet. 

At Golden Corral, there is SO MUCH FOOD. Yeah, it's not the fanciest, but it works. 

This is just some of the food. The place was pretty packed and I didn't want to get in people's way to snap pics. If someone was in MY way when I'm trying to build my plate, well, I'd be miffed.

But I did get a photo of one of my favorite dishes. It's the bourbon chicken with rice. Fantastic flavor.

And yes, there is even a salad line, plus fruit if you're like, "Eek. None of this is healthy!" Golden Corral has you covered. 

There's even an ICEE machine! Get as much as you want!

And this might sound silly, but I absolutely LOVE the candied yams there. Or, sweet potatoes with marshmallows. Whatever you refer to them as, they are spectacular. I sometimes just get several bowlfuls of them. 

Mmmmm. Now I want some of their yams. 

And one of the best parts? The dessert! They have a wide selection of cakes, puddings, chocolate covered treats, soft serve ice cream...

The carrot cake is superb!

Golden Corral has several locations, so there might be one near you. They even do catering! I might have to try it one day so I can get all the yams I want. 

If you like a buffet, it's the perfect choice. 

It's Mostly Men Who Hate Supergirl

I noticed the bad reviews about Supergirl early on. I ignored them though. I prefer to make up my own mind. We still went to watch. 

I also noticed it was mainly men giving those poor reviews.

They would criticize Milly Alcock's (who plays Supergirl) looks, naturally. I noticed most of the folks doing this weren't much to look at. Maybe they have their own issues and are projecting it onto Milly. I'm not sure. All I know is Milly is a beautiful woman. Dean Cain, who played Superman back in the day, also joined in to make fun of Milly. They've been posting things like this:

Other reasons why men aren't liking the flick?

Dudes claimed there was no way she could defeat "strong men." Hello, she has powers. Yes, she certainly can. 

They hated the soundtrack. It didn't bother me. 

They didn't like Supergirl's attitude. She didn't have that demure thing going on men tend to enjoy. She's not helpless. She doesn't rely on a man, ever. 

They didn't like that she barely smiles. Heaven forbid. I hate when a man tells me to smile more. 

They didn't like that men barely get any screen time. (Hello? It's called SUPERGIRL.)

There is no love interest. I personally liked this. I hate when movies toss in a love story for good measure. It's ridiculous. 

Basically, it's the men who are whining about the most ridiculous things. They did it for Wonder Woman as well, plus any other female-led movies. 

So what did we think? We liked the movie. Milly was incredible in her role. She did kick butt. Without the help of a man. 

It's a reminder that you do not need a guy to save you. A reminder never to listen to those who will try and say women are the weaker sex. A reminder to laugh when someone tries to say you must submit to a guy. 

Remember, ladies. 

You never need a guy to succeed. 

I look forward to seeing Milly in the future Superman film and one day, perhaps, she'll have her own movie again. And when she does, we'll be there to watch.
