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 wonder why people eat String Cheese whole. It’s called STRING cheese for a reason. You pull it off in STRINGS. (I’m talking to you, Tom.)
To never wear animal print clothing.
To not be able to do the Macarena so when the music pops on, you’re left flinging your arms and shaking your butt in confusion while people gape at you as though you have a thong on your head.
To roll your eyes when actors go on about “forgetting to eat because they’re so busy.” No one FORGETS to eat.
To not enjoy Dancing with the Stars and be a little bitter that it takes up so much air space.
To know that your right thigh probably weighs as much as an Olsen Twin.
To give your computer screen the finger when someone outbids you on eBay.
To be a little afraid of giving your honest opinion over the health care bill because some people are cah-razy!
To want to burst into tears when people keep telling you that “chick lit is dead.” Especially because that’s what you write.

why eat String cheese whole? It doesn't even taste the same... It jsut makes no sense...
ReplyDeleteOMG...my husband eats string cheese like that too! Why don't they just get a big block of cheese and take a bite out of it? I thought he was the only crazy one....
ReplyDeletemy husband eats string cheese whole too! So weird!
ReplyDeleteWho the heck says chick lit is dead? I did not get that memo...
ReplyDeleteI flip off my computer screen for many many reasons.
I don't watch "Dancing with the stars" and I don't know why other people do.
My sister really does forget to eat. She always has. Food just isn't important to her. I got all the fat genes.
♥Spot
Oh Wow...thanks for the laugh! Great list. ( I better throw out my leopard print underwear now.)

Forgetting to eat is just BS. I also did not get the memo about chic lit...
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I especially love the one that about healthcare. So true. And the forgetting to eat, too. Whatever!!
ReplyDeleteYes, all those things are okay.
ReplyDeleteHey, I eat string cheese whole and I have a leopard print bra!
ReplyDeleteI get the rest though!
I am standing up and cheering on the ebay thing!!!!
ReplyDelete{{Can you see me}}}}
Same dag gone thing happened to me last week......grrrrrr!!!!!
I love the comment about your thigh weighing as much as an Olsen twin...and NOBODY except maybe an Olsen twin forgets to eat!!!!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you on the string cheese thing. That's the whole point of it. If you're going to eat it whole, buy block cheese instead. Jeez. And I hate Dancing with the Stars too. And you're going to hate me on this one, but I totally forget to eat sometimes. Especially if I'm teaching and too busy to even pee. LOST TONIGHT!! Hurray for Tuesday!
ReplyDeletei don't watch Dancing either. I cannot even begin to imagine why someone would now a days anyway. I flip off my coworkers through my computer screen...and I even talk to it sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI so agree on opinions generated about the health care bill. It's insane how bullying some people are with their opinions. (Hugs)Indigo
ReplyDeleteeating string cheese whole should be illegal. it makes no sense. and my calf probably weighs as much as an olsen twin. ugh.
ReplyDeleteI love tuesdays at your blog!!!
My kids don't get the whole string cheese thing yet so they both eat them whole.
ReplyDeleteI actually have forgotten to eat...so it CAN happen :) However, this forgetfulness has not resulted in a thigh weighing less than an Olson twin (def there with ya!)
I was flipping off my computer just the other night. Not cause of eBay tho, my ipod was having some serious communication issues w/the computer...I think they might need couples therapy...Ohhhh, just got a great idea for a blog post!!
Love this meme btw
I know what you mean I'm keeping my opinions and thoughts to myself about the health bill! Chicklit is not dead whoever said that has to be a man. Keep writing!
ReplyDeleteI love this post!! And I totally agree... you can never forget to eat!
ReplyDeleteI love your "It's Okay!" Tuesdays!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! You come up with the funniest things - and true, too!
Forget to eat? Never!
I agree with ALL of these! HA HA you rock my socks off!
ReplyDeleteSERIOUSLY!!!!!
What do you think of the Health-Care Bill? Over here in England, as you know we have the NHS. It's fantastic. My son has severe Haemophilia and has all his treatment on the NHS. It's expensive but he gets everything he needs 24 hours a day. We don't pay anything, ANYTHING, apart from our taxes. No expensive healthcare insurance to pay every month. I had very severe and aggressive cancer recently while pregnant. I had major in-patient chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant and radiotherapy. I've had cutting-edge treatment and it was all available to me when I needed. I haven't had to pay for anything. My premature daughter was cared for fantastically. I've had 3 pregnancies on the NHS too - with access to midwives etc whenever I needed. What's not to like? Equal access to healthcare for ALL, paid through by meaans tested income tax so those who have more, pay more. And we can all walk into our local hospital when we need to without a penny in our pockets. Go Obama I say!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the rant, but I'm genuinely bemused at some of the rubbish which is spouted over your side of the Atlantic about our health-care system. Through all my trials and tribulations I've been so so grateful to live in this country. I wouldn't swap it for all the plush private hospital rooms, and fat-cat doctors in the world!
Like your list though. Will investigate cheese strings!
My daughter in law gave me a leopard print blouse for Christmas. Does she hate me? (Naw, I haven't worn it!) But how about shoes? Come on, you gotta allow the shoes!
ReplyDeleteI feel you on the string cheese and health care bill thing . . . I'd rather not get into it knowing I may get my head bit off . . . LoL
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, the only time I forget to eat is when I'm prepping for a party. The guests arrive, the party starts, I take a sip of wine and suddenly realize that I have nothing in my stomach and my blood sugar bottomed out 3 hours ago, lol.
ReplyDeleteChick Lit isn't dead, it just has a new (sorta) name. Call it women's fiction and you're golden :)
(stopping by from sits)
I love visiting your blog on Tuesdays :)
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooo chick lit cant be dead!!!! I love it too much!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your hey, it's okay tues. list!
ReplyDeleteI want to play, but only your blog!
Here goes...
It's okay to scream at automated ladies on the phone like they are real people.
It's okay to kill a few more trees by wiping thoroughly.
It's okay to get a little suicidal when it snows on the first day of spring.
It's okay to actually tug at your undies in public instead of doing that weird side step or curtsey that's obvious despite your covert efforts.
How'd I do?
Dancing with the Stars makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
ReplyDeleteLove your Tuesdays!
Agreed...especially the health care one. My lips are sealed!
ReplyDeleteI don't think chic lit is dead.
ReplyDeletejust found your blog...love it!
ReplyDeletethanks for the laughs.
I've never been so busy that I forgot to eat. That's just stupid. And I love chic lit so I will buy your book! Don't cry.
ReplyDeleteChick lit is NOT dead! It's NOT! It just has vampires in it now.
ReplyDeleteas always, hysterical :)
ReplyDeleteLove your Okay Tuesdays. Agree with the string cheese. Love peeling those babies off.
ReplyDeleteAnd may I add, it's okay to not be as funny and clever as you.
Sooo with you on Dancing with the Stars...I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I also don't want to open my mouth about the new law...
chick lit will never die. Never! (I may be in denial...)
ReplyDeleteI'd talk to you about the new law, but I'm afraid you feel differently than me, and it seems as if that's the stuff that ruins friendships these days...
I always eat my string cheese in strings and my boyfriend makes fun of me. Maybe these crazies thing they're too masculine for eating their cheese in strings or something weird like that. Haha.
ReplyDeleteChick Lit will never die!!!
I love Hey It's OK Tuesday. =)
Chick Lit is NOT dead. Never.
ReplyDeleteI've hurt my computer's feelings many, many times over those ebay auctions!
ReplyDeleteThe best way to start an argument is to talk about politics. It's ridiculous, actually.
ReplyDeleteChick Lit will be here are long as there are chicks to read it and guys to drive them to it!
ReplyDeleteI'm with u on the bill... ZIP LIP!
ReplyDeleteI asked hubby about the health care bill last night. And before every single question I said, "I don't want a whole hulabaloo answer, just a yes or no." EVERY.SINGLE.QUESTION.
ReplyDeleteString cheese is my new favourite food obsession, mostly because you can eat it in strings. Entertainment and nutrition. Needless to say I never forget to eat. And chick lit will never die.
ReplyDeleteOh come on, I love skin-tight animal prints on fat ladies who are in their 60's! JUST KIDDING! And chick-lit is NOT dead!
ReplyDeleteI love string cheese...and seriously forget to eat... I wish.
ReplyDeleteI love the things that you come up with on any day especially Tuesdays as they are truly honest but funny at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI wish every day was Tuesday - love these!! Right on 'bout the string cheese sister, right on.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree with everyone else. Chick lit is NOT dead, people get too crazy over politics, the Olsen twins weigh as much as a third grader when you weigh them together.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I do sometimes forget to eat. Usually when I'm reading (chick lit?) and get so engrossed that I forget to stop until Ben turns my light off. I've actually not noticed him return from work, make dinner, and eat dinner in front of me. Wish I could remember what book that was...
I so hear you. How can it be dead if some of us are still writing it? Hello? Alive!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate Dancing with the Stars! It's so ridiculous...and chick lit is definitely not dead.
ReplyDeleteWho are these anorexic liars that "forget to eat"?
ReplyDeleteNow, in all fairness, sometimes I forget to pee, but then I remember half an hour later because I am in pain.
Chick lit is alive and well, go have some chocolate and never think about that again :)
ReplyDeleteOK, I know from experience that you can "forget to eat" (although you can't tell this from my current photos). When you starve your body (and thus your brain cells), nothing works right and you don't remember ANYTHING.
ReplyDeleteGee.. here I was thinking I was the only one that gave my computer monitor the bird...
