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 not understand why women go for the bad boys. I want someone who treats me with respect.
To hate when parents constantly go on about how advanced their child is. More often than not, they aren’t.
To not like when shows replace an actor and expect the audience not to notice. I’m talking to you, Big Love, replacing the actress who played Teeny. That’s distracting and now all I can think is, “What happened to the original girl?”
To still be upset that Flash Forward was cancelled. I was WATCHING that.
To hate when I buy chocolates and they aren’t labeled. I need to know what I’m biting into, people.
To have been shocked while watching a show on TLC called Outrageous Kid Parties. One woman forked over $32,000 when her daughter turned 6. That’s more than the cost of my car.
To know what Friends episode it is after only two seconds of watching.
To think the new season of Survivor looks like it’ll be a good one.
To think celebrities must be joking when they insist they have fruit with plain oatmeal for breakfast and eat only fish and chicken for dinner. That sounds like a boring life indeed.
To rarely make my bed. I honestly don’t see the point.

Honestly, raspberries with oatmeal and yogurt are delicious. ^^ (I'd want some vegetables with my chicken for dinner, though. And cheese. And some chili con carne, maybe. And a pizza so I could ignore the chicken and veggies.)
ReplyDeleteGawd you make me laugh. I'm with you on shows that replace people as if we'll never notice. Hello Rosanne, Bewitched, etc.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely to the replacing actors!
ReplyDeleteThey cancelled Flash Forward???? Oh man I was watching that too!!!! I had not heard that it was cancelled! Rats!!!!!
I too was watching the Princess Party for the six year old & thought What does she have to look forward to now? I felt awful for her older sister- that mom was a NUT JOB!!
ReplyDeleteI having been complaining a lot about chocolate without labels right now too! What's the point of getting a box of chocolates if it doesn't prepare you for biting into the yucky orange flavored marshmallow ones? (I'm talking to you, Russell Stover's!) Gross.
ReplyDeleteI only make my bed when my husbands home or we have company in town. If not, then no way because I'll probably just nap in it and who wants to make a bed twice in one day?
ReplyDeleteAnd I think clearly labeled chocolates are a must.
My mother used to harp on making the beds - because there might be an emergency! Having just lived through a house fire, I can reliably say that the firefighters said NOTHING about the unmade beds.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the bed thing (and quite a few others, I have a crush on Boston Rob). I've started folding my covers back toward the end of the bed in the morning, it makes it look neat but was already mostly done by the time I got out of it. Voila, semi-made bed!
ReplyDeleteGood list. I am with you on the children part. My friend just had that experience. I am also with you on the chocolate, kids parties and making the bed.
ReplyDeleteUnlabeled chocolate is pure EVIL! I hate half the kinds in a box of chocolates, so I get something nasty EVERY TIME. *blegh* When I was a teenager, I started the (possibly gross) habit of taking a half-bite of each chocolate just to be sure. If I don't like it, I put the other half back. The grossest part is that I've NEVER had a problem with getting someone else to eat the other half of my once-bitten chocolates. Weird people. I'd never do that. . . *end rant*
ReplyDeleteThat tv show (the kid party one) makes me sick inside. With the rest of our country scrimping and saving, you'd think people wouldn't want to watch these outrageous people spend an outrageous amount of money on a party.
ReplyDeleteIt is OK to eat chocolate at 10am....
ReplyDeleteThat is what I am telling myself today as I bite into some Hershey Kisses :)
I can't wait for Survivor to start.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd rather eat nothing but fish and oatmeal than to have to make my bed everyday.
last night I watched one of the best episodes of Friends... the one where Rachel & Ross get together and Monica tries to kill Chandler w/ manic exercising! :o)
ReplyDeleteI admit... I eat plain oatmeal w/ fruit (either banana or raisins) BUT I do eat dinner... last night we had chinese... yum!
They *still* replace actors? I thought that was so 1992!
ReplyDeleteI used to be one of those 'bad boy' girls. I kind of still am, but the baddest thing about Hubs is that he has tattoos.
ReplyDeleteI was watching Flash Forward too! I'm so annoyed! WTH happened?! GAH! They could have given us a crappy 2 hour TV movie to wrap it up or something!
The commerical for that TLC show made me throw up a little bit. Have you seen the My Super Sweet 16show? Just as bad-or worse.
I only make my bed if we are having company :P
I so agree with you. I know all the episodes of Friends by the 2nd second. Survivor does look good. I almost never make my bed either. That $32,000 kids party made me sad.
ReplyDeleteI caught the end of that TLC show and my thoughts were right along the same wavelength- I just wondered if they are having 32,000 parties when they are sick what do they have to look forward to? what is their sweet 16 going to be like? or their wedding?
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on the second one. I have a friend who is constantly going on about how her 3 year old can already read & there is no reason why she should have to wait to start school until she's about to turn 6 because she has a late Sept birthday. She goes on & on about how advanced her daughter is. I even agree with her that her daughter will probably do just fine in school if she starts right before her 5th birthday, but honestly, she's not as brilliant as she thinks. At 3.5, I can't understand most of what she says because her speech is not clear!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss Flash Forward being cancelled? And that extravagant party show - after seeing the commercial for it there was simply no way I could watch it. Oh and on unmarked candy (at least some brands like Fannie May) there is a code to the swirls on the chocolate so you know what's inside. I used to have a friend who knew every design and could name every one in the box!!
ReplyDeleteYes to all!
ReplyDelete"I'm fairly intuitive. And psychic. Its a substantial gift."
:) Love Friends!!!!
The chocolates MUST be labeled, otherwise, we end up cutting them in half to see what's in there and then no one eats them.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with you on the chocolate labelling. My favourite bag of chocolates are called 'Revels' and you don't know what's in each one. It's a little thrill each time. Can you tell how exciting my life is?
ReplyDeleteI can't stand to have unmade beds in the house. I'm OCD like that.
ReplyDeleteHey! Don't bust on the bad boys.
ReplyDeleteI'm one, and yes they ladies love it, but I still treat them with respect.
I ALWAYS love these and today I was sitting here nodding my head and murmuring "Uh Huh, uh huh!" Right ON, Sister Friend!
ReplyDeleteI was watching Flash Forward too! :) And Survivor does look like it has potential!
Where does TLC find people for these shows? Do they answer advertisements, or are they referred?
ReplyDeleteThere really isn't a point to making beds. Ya know, unless company is coming! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I manage to make my bed about two days out of the month because I just don't see the point either.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have fallen for more than one "bad boy" in my life and they are definitely overrated! Much rather have the R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
never make the bed.
ReplyDeletei wish i had enough money not to notice spending that much on a party.
i HATE when they cancel shows that I'm getting into.
While I went for bad boys as a teen, I think I just like the illusion of bad boys now :-)
ReplyDeletethank god for the last one. I feel so much better :)
ReplyDeletesurvivor does look like a good one
ReplyDeleteMy husband makes a good point that anyone who constantly announces how smart/perfect/right/wonderful they or their kids are, is really, really insecure and feels the need to let everyone else know of them or their kid's alleged superiority.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to play along sometime soon. This is a really great concept!
I'm glad I missed that TLC show. I would be annoyed.
ReplyDeleteI'm already addicted to the new Survivor.
Totally with you on the "Friends" thing only for me it's "Grey's Anatomy."
ReplyDeleteThink I might play along also~
Whoo-hoo on not losing sleep over making your bed! :) Only because that means I'm NORMAL!
ReplyDeleteAnd I too think they should label chocolates!
We must be kindred spirits! I agree on every single one!
ReplyDelete1) I miss friends.
ReplyDelete2) I'm with you. What the heck's the point in making the bed?
3) Best birthday party I ever threw for my son's cost $36. Thirty Six Dollars! 'Nuff said.
I love any show that shows stupid people spending too much money on things that are basically crap. I tell myself that the reason my house isn't full of designer crap is because I have more taste than that. Nothing to do with my lack of funds. They make me feel tasteful and classy. (which I'm not, by the way)
ReplyDeleteThat's why they call it Outrageous Kid Parties - they're shocking . . .
ReplyDeleteThe replacement of Teeny bothered me too!
ReplyDeleteWhen they swap actors on soap operas (I watch one for comedic purposes, I admit it), they do a voice over in the first scene that says, "The part of so-and-so is now being played by blah-blah-blah."
I like that it's at least addressed that way!
it's okay to eat ice cream as many as you can when you feel down. It's better than crying. Haha!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter really is a genius. She IS! No, really, she IS!
ReplyDeleteLOL
Love all of your points, but if I had to pick my favourite, it would be that show with the expensive birthday parties. My kids watch that damn show. They aren't going to be pleased with the Betty Crocker mix next year.
ReplyDeleteI make my bed every day!! I simply can't sleep in an unmade bed. I'm weird like that.
ReplyDeleteOn the Beverly Hills Housewives, one of the plastics spent $60,000 on a birthday party!! I think the kid was four. Seriously. What the fragglerock are these people thinking???
I think this Survivor is awesome already!!! Except for Phillip. That is one total douche.
I can't tell you anything about Friends from the first two seconds. I only watched two episodes, the smelly cat one and .... okay, maybe it was only one. I can pretty much guess which Star Trek episode it is though (the old ones from the 60s). Does that make me a geek?
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the friends episodes. i do the same thing. I could watch that show every day :)
ReplyDeleteI never make my bed ;)
Your list could be mine, except for Flash Forward, I didn't watch but my hubby did & he was pissed when it just up & was gone.
