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 hate when people go, “How are WE this morning?” I always want to respond, “I’m okay, not sure about you though.”
To know that you’ll never be able to do the Silent Sex that is suggested in Redbook because you are too darn chatty.
To know what episode of Friends it is after only seeing a few seconds of it.
To throw up a little when couples constantly say that they are each other’s best friends.
To wish you could afford to go to The Melting Pot every week. Hello, chocolate fondue!
To still jump when people have music on their blogs thanks to the fact that your husband blasts the speakers and forgets to turn them off when he’s done with his game.
To hope that one day an agent will surprise you and be all, “I love your book, I’d love to help you get it published.”
To wonder if Henry VIII gets a kick out of the whole Tiger Woods debacle from Heaven seeing as he was quite lusty in the sack as well (but never got punished because hello, he was King.)
To seriously wonder why people don’t use their turn signals. Is it so difficult to flick your wrist?
To be a little nervous listing stuff on eBay because you worry about encountering an eBay nutter who complains about every.little.thing.
To know that you will never give up Little Debbie snacks no matter how often people go on about hydrogenated oils.

LOVE THIS!! And I will shout it from the rooftops.
ReplyDeleteYou are one brave soul, saying this out loud..but, me , too!
I do puke in my mouth when people tell you in the very first line of meeting them "married to my best friend of 80 years." Yuk.
And, please, I agree with all your points.
I wish I could do this,but I can't, I have a reputation to keep up. People think I'm sweet.
There would be passing out galore if people knew just how nasty I was.
My kids have figured it out, though, they call me "secretly mean."
Yeah. I confess. But it feels so good to get it all out.
LOVE THIS POST!!! I'll come here on Tuesdays and live through you. Thanks, lovey.
I like this...and might have to make my own list one of these days!
ReplyDeleteYou rock my world. I friggen love Tuesdays because of you! Lol
ReplyDeleteYour Tiger woods-Henry VIII about peed my pants!
"Hello, he was a king!"
bahahhaa!
You rock mysocks off! :)
I'm completely with you on the publishing one!
ReplyDeleteAnd Henry the VIII and Tiger Woods? Now that would be an interesting convo. I can't stand stupid Katherine Howard on The Tudors. They made her so ridiculous. My son keeps insisting that she's mentally challenged.
♥Spot
tehehehe!
ReplyDeleteLove the "How are we this morning?"
next time say "do I look like I have a mouse in my pocket!"
I hate music on blogs! Turn that sh** off!
ReplyDeleteHydrogenated oils...mmmmmm.
My coworker LOVES Friends. She has seen every episode probably 10 times.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on every single one - especially the music on blogs. . .
ReplyDeleteYup! I agree and relate to all! (I've seen all the Friends episodes many times!)
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather always asks me "So? How'd ya make out?" I know it's his way of asking how I am, but I'm ALWAYS tempted to say, "like this!", the proceed to "make out" with an invisible person, tongue and all. But he'd have a heart attack and die, so I contain myself.
Music on blogs drive me nutts!!
Mmmmmmm hydrogenated oils taste sooo good!! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
Love the Friends reference. Yea, that's me. And my hubby is only my best friend an average of 2 days a week.
ReplyDeleteWait. Little Debbie snacks are bad for you? Huh.
ReplyDeleteHenry VIII -Tiger Woods - too funny.
Love your "Hey it's Okay Tuesdays"
I've never done melting pot - I need to. cheese and chocolate are my two favorite things ever.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on most of them but will have to disagree with you ont eh music on the blogs :) I like them and am actually adding one to mine this weekend so that I can listen to music at work (MP3 player is always left in the gym bag and all the good music sites are blocked). To each their own :)(though it's not like its really going to matter with my blog, I only have a big ole 4 followers LOL)
ReplyDeleteI can almost always tell you what Friends episode it is based on one quote. Is this not a normal thing?
ReplyDeleteGet the barf bag ready...my husband is my best friend. BLECK!
ReplyDeleteNext time, just say, "WE are not amused..."
ReplyDeleteTurn signals were my gripe this morning. My dad used to always say, "That's a pretty nice car not to have turn signals."
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'm totally with you on the eBay thing. I have bought like 75 times and only listed once!
I have all 10 seasons of Friends on DVD. Yeah...totally get that one!
ReplyDeleteI also agree with the "we" thing. How about when a waitress asks "what are we drinking tonight" I wanna say, "you can drink whatever you want to pay for..."
I'm the same way with music on blogs. I about pee my pants every time I encounter it.
I am an ebay Queen, but I've never listed anything. I'm too afraid of being criticized in public! My best friends are my dogs. I hate the "we" shit too! And Henry and Tiger are both randy dudes. I could never name a kid Randy. My neighbor lady just came out and got in her car wearing a cat ears cap. Now I can't concentrate any more. Damn!
ReplyDeleteI'd be weary about ebay too, I heard someone never paid the person for the stuff! hydrogenated oils are totally horrible but I can't talk, my one treat a week is a DD vanilla chai and i'm sure thats loaded with bad stuff. I'd be pretty annoyed if someone said to me how are we this morning too. totally weird - why wouldn't they just say how are you?
ReplyDeleteI love your lists
ReplyDeleteBut (prepare yourself) I am married to my best friend. I have not other IRL friends, now that you mention it, lol.
Yeah, flicking the wrist is just WAY TOO MUCH WORK.
ReplyDeleteYes, the Henry VIII line made me laugh too!
ReplyDeleteNext time someone says, 'And how are we?' say, 'Well, I'm fine, but you obviously have double vision. Have you had it checked?'
I've been told that only one model of all the vehicles on the roadways have turn signals...its the one I drive....I KNOW I'm the only one out there that knows how to flick my wrist. Just watch me flick the bird....I GOT SKILLZ
ReplyDeleteThe one where...
ReplyDelete:) I used to laugh at the titles of Friend's shows - now I'm more in to the crazy titles of "Two and a Half Men" - secretly wondering where in the dialogue the title is going to come from.
And dont get me started on turn signals... I'll end up in jail or worse.
I never understand the misuse of plurals and third persons. I would probably say "what, now I'm big enough I'm more than one?" because I'm sensitive like that.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes Henry and Tiger would be best buds.
Turn signals...not even a flick of the wrist..just your finger.
So how ARE we this morning? haha...I hate that one too!
ReplyDeleteLololololol to the Henry VIII comment- I'm an English history nerd, and I'm doing a monologue from Henry VIII for drama. But, very good point. :P Too funny.
ReplyDeletethis is one of your better ones. I love the throw up a little. My husband may be one of the besties i have but I still don't share with him when i get a speeding ticket or am late with a bill payment. NOPE>>>that one is definately shared only with my BEST FRIEND.

ReplyDeleteMusic on blogs doesn't bother me... I have my computer muted!
ReplyDeleteI love your Tuesday posts. My husband is a non-turn signal person. I don't understand it. Why is it so hard?
ReplyDeleteWTH is Silent Sex?! I love your It's Okay Tuesdays!
ReplyDeleteYour list was cracking me up. I know all the Friends episodes too. Doesn't matter how many times I've seen them, they always make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing with Friends...yet I still keep watching!
ReplyDeleteWhat is with that we thing people use? Are you telling me you have penned a book that you're shopping out? Good luck with it if that's true!
ReplyDeleteMusic on blogs makes me jump, too!
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, Melting Pot, how I love you.
This was too funny. I loved the Henry and Tiger one.
ReplyDeleteI just might have to do this too. I love it. Like is it okay that I let Mother Nature wash my car?
These are great!
ReplyDeleteHonestly? I do that to myself with the computer speakers and end up jumping every time. Especially when I check blogs at 6:30 in the morning!!
Ally
What about when people laugh at EVERYTHING. Is that okay? Ugh. It's too much for me. Great list you have there. Love 'em.
ReplyDeleteYeah for Tuesdays! I love, love love your Tuesdays!
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is silent sex? I don't think I could ever be silent. I am too busy demanding things.
Seriously? WHY is it so darn hard to use your turn signal?? Drives me batty.
ReplyDeleteAgreed on (al)most points (I can't stand Little Debbie, but that's only because my mother made me eat those oatmeal pies as a child and I'm still scarred).
ReplyDeleteOne of mine? People who tell you to, "Smile!" I've got their smile right here!
i freak every time you post because you are so fun to read.... silent sex? what's that lol. i love in the movie the blind side when they are in the sack and she says you knew I was a multi-tasker when you married me...lol
ReplyDeleteMusic on blogs drives me nuts and I know every scene of every episode of friends!
ReplyDeleteTurn signals and People that use the word 'we' excessively and incorrectly, are my least favorite people in the universe. Ug.
ReplyDeleteConcerning the turn signal - in their head those people probably are like, "Why should I use my turn signal? I know perfectly well where I'm going." (^v^)
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to what you have to say each day - you really REALLY crack me up! I wish I could comment from the office because I am literally LOL while reading your blog at my desk - HA! Thanks for keeping it "real". Have a great day my friend! Hugs, Trac~ :o)
ReplyDeleteI so agree! And when someone asks me how I am, I want to ask them if they really care???
ReplyDeleteWant to know how my husnad and I flip each other off without the girls understanding it?
ReplyDeleteRemembe the episode of Friends when Monica and Ross have their special code? When they pound their fists together? That is what we do. Emily thinks it means "I love You" I just pray she doesn't do it at school!
Yes, but is it okay to be afraid to sell stuff on eBay because the person who gave you the item in the first place might find your ad?
ReplyDeleteThe turn signal thing makes me stabby.
ReplyDeleteIt's awful here, too. People almost go out of their way not to use turn signals.
And as much as I hate partially hydrogenated anything, I still love Pop-Tarts. And will until the day I die.
One of my coteachers does the "how are WE?" thing and it drives me CRAZZY!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the show Friends and can definitely tell what episode is which after just a few seconds- sadly I can quote a lot of them.
I do jump when the music comes on. I love music but not on a blog. It gets me all distracted because I'm usually watching tv while on the computer...
I love this post! So much fun :)
