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. You're welcome to join in and do something like this on your diary. Doesn't have to be on a Tuesday either.

------------------

To feel sorry for Eva Longoria since she just filed for a divorce from her husband. It’s been alleged that he was exchanging inappropriate texts to a female friend or something.


To be all ready for Black Friday this week! I’m not going nuts or anything, I just stick to Target and Kohls. I’m not brave enough for Wal-Mart.


To love the show Cougar Town. It’s hilarious. PENNY CAN!


To be ready for Thanksgiving. I’m going to a friend’s house so this means I’m not in charge of the turkey this year. Whoop whoop!


To still be working on getting my novel published. Chick lit, I’m continued to be told, is hard to sell. *Le sigh* But come on, surely people want something light and breezy, something that will make them laugh.....


To think it’s awesome that Oprah gives away so much cool stuff on her Oprah’s Favorite Things show but get annoyed with the audience screaming over everything little thing. Yay! It’s a sweater! Yay! It’s a bejeweled toilet cleaner! Maybe that’s why I don’t watch Oprah anymore. The audience....hmmm....


To have not watched the American Music Awards. This is mainly because I’m not a huge fan of a lot of the popular music that is played today. I like some artists (Train, to name one) but a lot of them just make my head ache.


To love those sour candy strip things. Probably more than my kids. I still get excited going into those candy stores in the mall.


To be a little jealous that Kate Middleton is marrying Prince William. Not that I wanted to be Queen, it’s just, she probably has access to cool Henry VIII stuff since she’ll be royalty. So if she’s all, “I’d like to have Hampton Court to myself,” they’d be all, “Of course!” Lucky duck.

  2. Light and breezy is my favorite kind of reading.

    Kohls should be especially insane, opening up at 3. People will be in line by midnight.

  3. A. I love Cougar Town too. My boyfriend does not get it at all, but I think it's a great show.

    B. I love chick lit, and I would totally buy your book.

    C. I was quite annoyed watching Oprah's favorite things shows, because I kept thinking, why do I give a crap that these people are getting all this stuff? Nobody is giving ME this stuff, so I am not excited. I mean yay for you, but whatever.

  8. I'm excited about Black Friday too, but only to go to Joann's. My husband gets the privledge of braving Wal-Mart and Target. I do have to cook the turkey, there will most likely be some kind of kitchen fire, and the crowds re his "duty". Plus he's just way more generous than I am, so he gets more Christmas loot. It's a fair trade, I lose an eyebrow, he loses his sanity and money.

  9. I Love Cougar Town too!

    I think it just makes me mad knowing I'll never ever be in Oprah's audience for the gift giving. EVER :(

    And I'm a HUGE Candy Lover!!!

  10. Did you ever see the SNL Oprah skit, where the audience's heads literally explode? So funny.

    I do a little shopping on Black Friday, but I wait until the afternoon. There are still good deals, and I don't have to shank anyone.

  11. The closest I will come to Black Friday shopping will be right here from this laptop. That's some scary stuff!

  12. Maybe you should have all your blog friends beg a publisher to publish your book. I know that I want to read it.

    I bet we could win them over.

  13. My husband and I LOVE Cougar Town -- it's one of his favorites =)
    I feel so sorry for Eva -- she's so gorgeous and amazing and he's a loser!
    I want to read your novel -- i adore chick lit that makes me laugh

  14. The Oprah audience annoys me, too. But I was thinking that maybe they go crazy over everything because they don't want to look ungrateful. They freak out when they get a car, but if they don't freak out over the brownie pan that makes every brownie be an "edge" brownie they will look ungrateful. I dunno. Just a thought.

  17. I'd definitely read your book.

    I don't watch the AMAs either. I don't like that kind of music.

  18. Whoever said candy was just for kids?? In fact - candy should be an adult product. Cuz seriously? Those little bodies don't need that sugar rush!

  19. I finally got the final season of Tudors in from Netflix. I'm stuck waiting for the third disc and I'm DYING for it to arrive.

  22. I am entirely jealous of Miss Middleton! What classes do you have to take to run into a prince! Obviously I am in the wrong field!

  23. I LOVE Cougar Town. Great, light, show.
    I'm sending back some comments on your book this week - I definitely think it's marketable. Just hang in there.
    And, uh, yeah, annoying Oprah audiences suck.

  24. I am sure I will end up at Walmart in the wee hours of the morning befor I head to work!!

  25. It's Tuesday. That means I am okay with the fact that Pepermint Patty will invite herself and her friends to Charlie Brown's house AGAIN this year. She is so rude that way.

  30. Totally feelin' your Kate Middleton envy. Still haven't decided if I want to try Target or Kohls. I'm a chicken.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I get the kate envy, mostly for the clothes, but, y'know, waking up every morning next to William? I'd rather have Harry!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Love Train. Saw them in concert a few years back. Fantastic show!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oprah sort of makes me want to pull my face off, and her screaming audience is even worse.

    This will be my first year doing Black Friday and I mean to be ON IT! I'm ass poor and gots to get me some crazy good deals, else my kiddies will be Christmasless. Scares me to go, but my sisters have been doing it for years.

    Yay for you having a more relaxed Thanksgiving.

    And somehow I nearly missed this today, and it really is my favorite post of the week.

  34. I don't watch Oprah much anymore. Mainly because of her voice when she gets all stupid excited about things. like "Johhhhhhhhn Travvvvvooltaaaaaaaa."

    ugh.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Count yourself lucky that you missed the AMAs. I saw most of it and the majority of the performances made me ass twitch.

    Miley Cyrus looked/sounded like Stevie Nicks (and not in a good way), Justin Beiber went "political" and Taylor Swift sounded like she chugged a gallon of soy milk before she went on.

    However, Bon Jovi made my lady parts fidget. In a good way.

  36. This might be my favorite It's Okay of all time. I'm so with you on EVERYTHING!! Cougar Town? Hello! Kate Middleton with access to all things British and historical and great? OMG! And Eva....really, Tony? You skank. Great post, Amber!
