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.

i think you're very brave for going shopping on black friday.
ReplyDeleteLight and breezy is my favorite kind of reading.
ReplyDeleteKohls should be especially insane, opening up at 3. People will be in line by midnight.
A. I love Cougar Town too. My boyfriend does not get it at all, but I think it's a great show.
ReplyDeleteB. 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.
all of my Black Friday shopping will be done online. no way am I braving any crowd on Friday!! :o)
ReplyDeletethose are definitely things to be OK about! Great post
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first Black Friday experience and I wonder how crazy I am by attempting Toys R Us?!
ReplyDeleteDude shopping on Black Friday with 2 little ones in tow? You amaze me!
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteI Love Cougar Town too!
ReplyDeleteI 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!!!
Did you ever see the SNL Oprah skit, where the audience's heads literally explode? So funny.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
Lucky duck?
ReplyDeleteThe closest I will come to Black Friday shopping will be right here from this laptop. That's some scary stuff!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should have all your blog friends beg a publisher to publish your book. I know that I want to read it.
ReplyDeleteI bet we could win them over.
My husband and I LOVE Cougar Town -- it's one of his favorites =)
ReplyDeleteI 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
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.
ReplyDeleteit would be cool to be a princess and then a queen!!
ReplyDeleteI saw a Target commercial that reminded me of you...

:)
I'd definitely read your book.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the AMAs either. I don't like that kind of music.
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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteSeriously Lucky Ducky her
The only black Friday shopping I've done is a midnight sale @ the outlets here...it was awesome for random thing, and especially clothes...but not so much for christmas presents. Have fun, I plan on making Eric get up with the kids that morning and getting to sleep in :o)
ReplyDeleteYou know I am ready for some BF shopping...I live for it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut I am gone at 3am and don't get back home til around 9pm.....verryyyyyy looooonnnngggg day!
And Oprah's favorite things show...TO DIE FOR!!!!!! Loved every minute of it!!!!
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!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Cougar Town. Great, light, show.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
I am sure I will end up at Walmart in the wee hours of the morning befor I head to work!!
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
ReplyDeletei'm not brave enough to do black friday at all. have a great thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh I love those sour candy strip things. I always want some when I see a candy store.
ReplyDeleteI seriously look forward to Tuesdays every week so I can do this! Love it!! xoxox
I love Cougar Town too - I was surprised at first but it's just hilarious!

Totally feelin' your Kate Middleton envy. Still haven't decided if I want to try Target or Kohls. I'm a chicken.
ReplyDeleteI get the kate envy, mostly for the clothes, but, y'know, waking up every morning next to William? I'd rather have Harry!
ReplyDeleteLove Train. Saw them in concert a few years back. Fantastic show!
ReplyDeleteOprah sort of makes me want to pull my face off, and her screaming audience is even worse.
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
I don't watch Oprah much anymore. Mainly because of her voice when she gets all stupid excited about things. like "Johhhhhhhhn Travvvvvooltaaaaaaaa."
ReplyDeleteugh.
Count yourself lucky that you missed the AMAs. I saw most of it and the majority of the performances made me ass twitch.
ReplyDeleteMiley 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.
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!
ReplyDeleteCougar Town iS hilarious and I just happen to love chick lit so please get published. I could use some light and breezy and laughter!!!
