I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.
HEY, IT'S OKAY....
.....to be glad that the new season of Stranger Things FINALLY has a release date. Volume 1 will premiere in May and Volume 2 will come in July. Now I have to remember who the heck everyone is.
.....to have had a busy long weekend. Saturday Natalie dyed her hair, Sunday we went to visit my parents, and Monday I had to take Tommy to college (he was not pleased he still had class on a holiday). Oh, and Monday I took Natalie to Goodwill since she loves the store.
.....to be getting a Shamrock Shake from McDonald's this week. They're back!
.....to be taking Natalie to Sea World this weekend to try the new swing ride Tidal Surge. It's basically just a giant swing that moves you back and forth high in the air. It's a no from me but she loves fast rides.
....to have loved the book We Are Not Like Them by Christine Pride and Jo Piazza. It's about longtime best friends Jen and Riley. Jen is white, finally pregnant after years of trying, and married to a police officer. Riley is hoping to the one of the first Black female anchors at the popular local news station. Jen's husband is involved in a shooting of a Black teenager and the friendship is put to a test. I was riveted by this book and loved how it alternated between the two characters so you could see and feel deeply how they dealt with the aftermath of the shooting. Read this. You won't be sorry.
What a great idea! I'll add mine: Hey, it's okay if I relaxed yesterday on Family Day and spent several hours reading!
ReplyDeleteI think I tried a Shamrock shake many years ago. It was not something that I liked.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely snagging a Shamrock Shake from McDonalds ;) Always enjoy your just because posts and will be back!
ReplyDeleteI feel that book would be too triggering for me but I'm glad you had a great week!
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds like something I would love to read. I think our reading tastes are similar.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for stranger things, It's my favorite show so I'm actually doing a major rewatch before the new season airs
ReplyDeleteYay, Im so excited for the new season of Stranger things. We have waited too long!
ReplyDeleteI have never watched Stranger Things. That book sounds like it could be emotional but a great read. I really should right my own 'Hey its ok' and link up to yours linky. Why haven't I done that yet? I always enjoy reading yours.
ReplyDeleteI love Shamrock Shake too. I am so happy that Shamrock Shake season is back! :)
ReplyDeleteI remember those shamrock shakes from when I was a kid! We use to love those!
ReplyDeleteStranger Things fan right here! May and June are definitely noted, thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteWhoop! Shamrock shakes! The only time of year I eat McDs. lol
ReplyDeleteOHH I'm adding this on my book list! I've been looking for a new book to read.
ReplyDeleteMy son and I were just talking about Stranger Things. My son said it would be hard to do another one because the kids will all be like 25 years old, lol
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I will add mine,it's okay that I made my kids bedtime an extra 30 mins early because I was exhausted.
ReplyDeleteOk, I talked to my husband and we want to start Stranger Things. Eeek!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a new book to read but nothing has really grabbed my attention. I think I might have to check this one out.
ReplyDeleteI've not tried a Shamrock shake from McDonalds before. I bet it tastes delicious. Have fun at Sea World. The ride sounds scary!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, seems like I'm missing a lot of news! I'm not aware that the new season of Stranger Things will be released this summer.
ReplyDeleteWe got a shamrock shake last weekend SOOOO good!
ReplyDeleteGiant swing? Wow! Natalie seems to be a brave girl and quite adventurous :) I am yet to try a shamrock shake from McD.
