Hey, It's Okay Tuesday!

**I made it to Texas safely and am at my parent's house. We don't leave for the beach until Wednesday so I still have Internet access!**


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 always sit behind the one person on the airplane that wants to recline their seat to the point where their head is practically resting in your lap. It's like, "Hello, my name is Amber, and you are???"


To think that 90 degrees is a nice cool day in Texas after battling triple digit temperatures (this happened last year.....thought I would melt in front of the Alamo.)


To think that the Rachel chick on Big Brother is annoying. What's up with that laugh? She'd have made a fabulous Girl Next Door.


To hope that your husband doesn't accidentally clobber you with his man arm since you share only a full sized bed with him while in Texas.


To have been slightly mortified when your daughter peed on your parent's deck less than an hour after arriving. (I'm trying to keep the fact that my kids like to act like animals at home a secret from my folks....not going well...)


To think Lindsay Lohan needs to go to jail to help wake her up. Otherwise she's probably going to either A) overdose or B) totally lose her mind and stroll around Sunset Bldv in her panties, shouting things like, "I like cheese!" and "Tom Hanks made me do it!"


To love the movie Independence Day. I probably even already wrote this on a past Hey, It's Okay Tuesday but oh well. It's a fabulous movie.


To wonder why the Women's bathroom in the airport smelled like poo. Aren't we supposed to smell like roses? Why does it reek in there? I felt like I was walking into a man bathroom (no offense.) Who are these women who dare to poop in public?


To hope that your DVR is doing what it should be doing and is recording episodes of Big Brother , Army Wives, and Hell's Kitchen. Sometimes the thing acts bitchy and doesn't record what it ought to. One time I was trying to record Grey's Anatomy and it recorded Supernanny instead. It was almost like my DVR was saying, "Lady, you could use some parenting advice over watching a angsty doctor show."

  4. After several days in a row now of temps over 110 degrees I would give my left toe for anything in the 90s

  5. The only public place I poop in is Walmart, and that's not because I want to, it's because Walmart gives me sudden onset diarrhea. What I really hate is when you walk into a public restroom and it smells like dirty twat. Cause you gotta poop sometimes, and that's understandable, but if you pull your pants down and I can tell that you haven't taken a shower in a week, that's not ok.

  6. you know I love these "it's OK"

    I;d love to do them, but you need a clever mind to come up with more than 2...so, there's that..

  7. I think Lindsey Lohan has already walked down Sunset in her underwear. Or did she forget to wear the panties...hmm...

  8. Womens bathrooms should be required by law to smell like roses.

  9. I thought Lindsey was already strolling around Sunset Bldv in her panties, shouting things like, "I like cheese!" and "Tom Hanks made me do it!"
    :)
    And that DVR better watch itself, otherwise you might stuff a sock in it!

  10. I have also wondered about the stinky-ness of the womens bathrooms. I think men are sneaking in there and stinkin it up!

    If my TiVo box didnt record Big Brother I'd have a tantrum. And then buy a new box ASAP. lol

  11. I love your Tuesday feature! One time, I turned off all the power strips before going away, you know, because its the 'green' thing to do, not realizing that if the DVR is unplugged it doesn't record..I was NOT happy!

    ReplyDelete
  12. We record Army Wives too, love that show! Maybe your DVR recording Supernanny was God intervening and trying to get your attention. LOL!

  13. Ok if Rachel hops on his lap on BB with her legs open one more time....

    Also, don't you think that young blonde is a bit whiny?

    ReplyDelete
  14. but tom hanks DID make her do it!

    and i recall a time when my dvr failed to perform the act for which it was intended....i assure you, it learned its lesson that day and has recorded without a hitch. i see that little red light quivering in fear sometimes when i look at it.....that thing knows who's boss now!

  15. Women are disgusting. Actually, I would take a men's washroom over a women's any day.

    Glad to hear you made it home.

  16. I have totally pooped at an airport bathroom. And I'd do it again!

    ReplyDelete
  17. what is up with that old lady bathroom smell?? And at what age do you start to smell like that after going to the bathroom?

    I think I might off myself before that happens to me :P

    ReplyDelete
  18. Enjoy Texas. I laughed out loud about your daughter peeing on the deck and trying to keep the children acting like animals a secret. I can so relate to that.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Your daughter was just marking her territory.... *giggles*

    And HEY! If ya gotta poop, ya gotta poop. Certainly don't want to sit next to someone on the plane with a full load in their britches.

    (good luck, Carrie!)

  20. We alwasy watch Independence Day on...well...you know...July Fourth ;)

    I walked into the womens' bathroom at our local science center and a lady was changing her 7 year old (she was probably only 2 but she was a big girl) daughter's pull up after she pooed out a rotten cow and was complaining about it loudly in her best googoo gaga voice. I gagged and decided I didn't need to pee THAT bad!

  21. Outside of "infecting" the alien ship with a Mac laptop, Independence Day is a cool movie.

    I think Ladies bathrooms are just as bad as mens rooms... based on a sample of just one ladies room.

    :)

    So, your parent's deck is now officially Natalie's... LOL!

  22. I am always behind that exact same guy on the airplane. I'm also usually sitting next to the person bringing on food that totally reeks.

    ReplyDelete
  23. But, hey, I like cheese. Maybe she does too.

  25. haha! Love the comment about the airplane. I've always wanted to do that! Instead I act like a jerk and push against the seat while they try to move back (acting like my knee is there or something). It works out for me everytime! They never move all the way back and turn around and say: Oh sorry.

    Yes. I do have magical powers :)

  26. yep yep.. i think the lohan should be in jail too...

    have a wonderful time!

  27. Women's public restrooms are disgusting....they not only smell like poo but other gross things. I'm starting to think that women are more nasty than men. Hope you are having a good trip!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Don't forget Master Chef starts on the 27th lol.
    I totally agree about Lindsay Lohan. She needs this. And the 90 days in rehab. I was afraid she was going to die soon.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Glad you made it okay.

    A man must have snuck in...no other explanation is even remotely reasonable!

  30. I love Independence Day too!

    And sometimes, even if it is in public, ya gotta poo. But it is nice to give a courtesy flush!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I love Independence Day! I caught it at 1 am one night last week adn stayed up to watch the last hour and a half even though I had to work the next day.

    As far as your daughter goes - at least she went outside rather than on their living room floor. LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  32. If my TiVo recorded Supernanny on its own, I would be TOTALLY paranoid that it'd been secretly taping and judging my parenting skills. I agree about that Lohan kid, but we'll have to agree to disagree about Independence Day.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I LOVE Big Brother. I hope your DVR works for you! I can't stand Rachel either, every time she talks it makes me want to yell at the screen. I hope you have a great time in at the beach.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I agree with Independence Day. It. Is. Fantastic.

    I watch it everytime it comes on television.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hilarious.

    And what is up with Lindsay Lohan, really? That girl will find jail interesting ;)

    ReplyDelete
  36. My rule on pooping in public? If my choice is that or in my pants. That's it.

    I HATE when my DVR messes up. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, I see RED!

    I LOVE Independence Day. That was a great movie!

    I don't think they should put Lindsey Lohan in seclusion. They should put her among the rest of the prisoners.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I agree with the bathroom thing! What I hate even more than the nasty smell is when women do not flush or dispose of used "womanly" products properly.. makes me GAG! I mean how hard is it to wrap it up and throw it away or flush it instead of leaving it in the toilet or floor! The only time I poo in public is on road trips at rest areas..cause I mean, c'mon- I'm not going to hold it in for 8 hours ;) Have fun at the beach!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. i'm so with you on the lindsay lohan thing...that girl is a train friggin wreck!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. When the person in the seat in front of me wants to lay back into my lap, I usually have to cough uncontrollably without covering my mouth. Or say things like, "Where is the barf bag? Must be the Mexican food." Our DVR has been doing such strange things, I swear it has a poltergeist. Must be time to go to church.
