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. 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.

  2. OMG...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....

  4. Who the heck says chick lit is dead? I did not get that memo...

    I 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.

  10. I love the comment about your thigh weighing as much as an Olsen twin...and NOBODY except maybe an Olsen twin forgets to eat!!!!

  11. Totally 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!

  12. i 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.

  13. I so agree on opinions generated about the health care bill. It's insane how bullying some people are with their opinions. (Hugs)Indigo

  14. eating string cheese whole should be illegal. it makes no sense. and my calf probably weighs as much as an olsen twin. ugh.

    I love tuesdays at your blog!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. My kids don't get the whole string cheese thing yet so they both eat them whole.

    I 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

  16. 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!

    ReplyDelete

  20. 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!!
    Sorry 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!

  21. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I 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

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oddly 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.

    Chick Lit isn't dead, it just has a new (sorta) name. Call it women's fiction and you're golden :)

  24. I love visiting your blog on Tuesdays :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Nooooooooooo chick lit cant be dead!!!! I love it too much!

  26. LOVE your hey, it's okay tues. list!

    I 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?

  27. Dancing with the Stars makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

    Love your Tuesdays!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Agreed...especially the health care one. My lips are sealed!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I don't think chic lit is dead.

    ReplyDelete

    thanks for the laughs.

  31. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Chick lit is NOT dead! It's NOT! It just has vampires in it now.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Love your Okay Tuesdays. Agree with the string cheese. Love peeling those babies off.
    And may I add, it's okay to not be as funny and clever as you.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Sooo with you on Dancing with the Stars...I don't get it.

    And, I also don't want to open my mouth about the new law...

    ReplyDelete
  35. chick lit will never die. Never! (I may be in denial...)

    I'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...

    ReplyDelete
  36. 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.

    Chick Lit will never die!!!

    I love Hey It's OK Tuesday. =)

  37. Chick Lit is NOT dead. Never.

  38. I've hurt my computer's feelings many, many times over those ebay auctions!

    ReplyDelete
  39. The best way to start an argument is to talk about politics. It's ridiculous, actually.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Chick Lit will be here are long as there are chicks to read it and guys to drive them to it!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I thought chick lit was gum but I get it now. I think its ok to fix hamburger helper and call it 'homemade'. Same goes for cake mixes! And chick fil-a as long as its on a pretty plate.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm with u on the bill... ZIP LIP!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I 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.

    ReplyDelete
  44. String 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.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Oh 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!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I love string cheese...and seriously forget to eat... I wish.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I love the things that you come up with on any day especially Tuesdays as they are truly honest but funny at the same time.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I wish every day was Tuesday - love these!! Right on 'bout the string cheese sister, right on.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Yeah, 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.

    Although 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...

    ReplyDelete
  50. I so hear you. How can it be dead if some of us are still writing it? Hello? Alive!!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I hate Dancing with the Stars! It's so ridiculous...and chick lit is definitely not dead.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Who are these anorexic liars that "forget to eat"?

    Now, in all fairness, sometimes I forget to pee, but then I remember half an hour later because I am in pain.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Chick lit is alive and well, go have some chocolate and never think about that again :)

    ReplyDelete
  54. OK, 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.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Gee.. here I was thinking I was the only one that gave my computer monitor the bird...
