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 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.

  1. LOVE THIS!! And I will shout it from the rooftops.

    You 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.

  4. I'm completely with you on the publishing one!

    And 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.

  6. I hate music on blogs! Turn that sh** off!

    Hydrogenated oils...mmmmmm.

    ReplyDelete
  7. My coworker LOVES Friends. She has seen every episode probably 10 times.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I'm with you on every single one - especially the music on blogs. . .

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yup! I agree and relate to all! (I've seen all the Friends episodes many times!)

    My 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!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Mmmmmmm hydrogenated oils taste sooo good!! :)

    Great list!

  11. Love the Friends reference. Yea, that's me. And my hubby is only my best friend an average of 2 days a week.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Wait. Little Debbie snacks are bad for you? Huh.

    Henry VIII -Tiger Woods - too funny.

    Love your "Hey it's Okay Tuesdays"

  13. I've never done melting pot - I need to. cheese and chocolate are my two favorite things ever.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I 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)

  15. I can almost always tell you what Friends episode it is based on one quote. Is this not a normal thing?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Get the barf bag ready...my husband is my best friend. BLECK!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Next time, just say, "WE are not amused..."

    ReplyDelete
  18. Turn signals were my gripe this morning. My dad used to always say, "That's a pretty nice car not to have turn signals."

    And, I'm totally with you on the eBay thing. I have bought like 75 times and only listed once!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I have all 10 seasons of Friends on DVD. Yeah...totally get that one!

    I 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.

    ReplyDelete
  20. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'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?

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love your lists

    But (prepare yourself) I am married to my best friend. I have not other IRL friends, now that you mention it, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yeah, flicking the wrist is just WAY TOO MUCH WORK.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yes, the Henry VIII line made me laugh too!

    Next time someone says, 'And how are we?' say, 'Well, I'm fine, but you obviously have double vision. Have you had it checked?'

    ReplyDelete
  25. 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

    ReplyDelete
  26. The one where...

    :) 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.

    ReplyDelete
  27. 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.

    And, yes Henry and Tiger would be best buds.

    Turn signals...not even a flick of the wrist..just your finger.

    ReplyDelete
  28. So how ARE we this morning? haha...I hate that one too!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Lololololol 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.

  30. this 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.

  32. Music on blogs doesn't bother me... I have my computer muted!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I love your Tuesday posts. My husband is a non-turn signal person. I don't understand it. Why is it so hard?

    ReplyDelete
  34. WTH is Silent Sex?! I love your It's Okay Tuesdays!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Your 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.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I do the same thing with Friends...yet I still keep watching!

    ReplyDelete
  37. What 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!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Music on blogs makes me jump, too!

    And oh, Melting Pot, how I love you.

    ReplyDelete
  39. This was too funny. I loved the Henry and Tiger one.
    I just might have to do this too. I love it. Like is it okay that I let Mother Nature wash my car?

    ReplyDelete
  40. These are great!
    Honestly? 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!!

  41. What about when people laugh at EVERYTHING. Is that okay? Ugh. It's too much for me. Great list you have there. Love 'em.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Yeah for Tuesdays! I love, love love your Tuesdays!

    What the heck is silent sex? I don't think I could ever be silent. I am too busy demanding things.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Seriously? WHY is it so darn hard to use your turn signal?? Drives me batty.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Agreed 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).

    One of mine? People who tell you to, "Smile!" I've got their smile right here!

    ReplyDelete
  45. 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

    ReplyDelete
  46. Music on blogs drives me nuts and I know every scene of every episode of friends!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Turn signals and People that use the word 'we' excessively and incorrectly, are my least favorite people in the universe. Ug.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Concerning 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^)

    ReplyDelete
  49. I 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)

    ReplyDelete
  50. I so agree! And when someone asks me how I am, I want to ask them if they really care???

    ReplyDelete
  51. Want to know how my husnad and I flip each other off without the girls understanding it?

    Remembe 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!

    ReplyDelete
  52. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  53. The turn signal thing makes me stabby.

    It'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.

    ReplyDelete
  54. One of my coteachers does the "how are WE?" thing and it drives me CRAZZY!!!!!!

    I 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 :)
