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 love Yankee Candles. I currently have the buttercream one lit and it smells fabulous.


To have survived on four hours of sleep on Friday since I went out shopping at 2 AM.


To hate having to lug out all the Christmas decorations but love the outcome when everything is all out.


To love the cheeseballs from Hickory Farms. I’m buying one this week.


To be annoyed that girly magazines are still telling women to not forget the man’s balls during sex. I’m sorry, but I AM going to forget about them for the last time. And stop telling me to mess around with the anus. No. Just no.


To already have some ornament fatalities since Natalie doesn’t understand that you don’t sleep with ornament Rudolph.


To think it’s amusing that The Today Show had a segment on how to dress like Kate Middleton. I mean, really? I’d rather NOT wear those silly hats that she puts on. If I did, my cat would surely try to attack it, because he’d assume that I was wearing a toy on my head.


To be bummed that Leslie Nielsen died. He was a funny actor.


To be irritated that The Event is on fall hiatus. I guess viewers have been dropping and NBC wanted to see if this helped ratings. I am not amused.


To wish someone would order me some cookies from Cheryls.com. The cookies and brownies are amazing.

OMG! The balls thing is hilarious! I will forever ignore that advice!


It's OK that I really want an edible arrangement just because!

Mae Rae said...

holy moly man! those cookies look fantastic!

Surely, it is sad that Leslie has passed and yes i will call you shirley.

Ed said...

Kate Middleton follows the girlie magazines advice.

And she's getting a crown for her efforts.

Steph said...

Balls are disgusting. I will be forgetting about them.

Bird Shit and Baby Caca said...

Balls and anus...couldn't ask for a better way to start my day LOL

Corinne said...

LOL! Forget about them balls, but not the cheese ball from hickory farms, that is yummy. Have you tried there truffles

The Wife In Her New Life said...

yeah balls and anus -- those don't exist
I have never had a cheese ball but I'm not big into cheese, though Husband is.
I too received little sleep on Thursday night due to the early hour for shopping =)

Randi Troxell said...

yea.. that whole kate middleton thing.. i am REALLY not getting it!

they are not even OUR royals for petes sake!!! sure she's pretty.. but i agree with you- my bella (my cat) would so go in for the kill if i wore one of those hats!!!

shannon said...

I got cheryls cookies a couple weeks ago when I had my baby. I ate all 4 boxes in the tier by myself.

shannon said...

oh, and w/ the balls, what are you supposed to do w/ them exactly? They never tell you that part.

stephanie said...

The balls thing made me about wet myself. And I LOVE Cheryls cookies- yum!!

Yankee Girl said...

I hate balls. I will never play with balls and I don't care who tells me I should, It WILL NOT happen.

And I don't want to dress like Kate either. How does she hold her head up with those hats? They look like they would just give me a sore neck.

Stacy Lynn said...

It was sad to hear the news about Leslie Nielsen. My husband LOVES all those silly movies so we watch them every time they're on. Kind of hard to believe he's gone....so many good ones gone in the last year or so. Maybe I'll just go fiddle with some balls till I'm not sad any more. :P

Di said...

The balls I can understand but I guarantee if I came anywhere near the anus my hubby would hit the roof in 2 seconds flat!

Allyson & Jere said...

See, I don't read any of those "girly magazines" therefore I'm clearly missing out on som VALUABLE information on ball fondling. Oops!

I also HATE the process of getting Christmas out and up, but it sure looks beautiful when all is said and done.

The world we live in is so ridiculous. As if anyone gives a flying rats about Kate Middleton and how to dress like her. Does this mean you're not first in line to buy the commemorative plate of Wills and Kate? Pity.

But get this....my husbands friend at school is from England. As it turns out, her sisters best friend is Kates sister. She says that Kate really is a gem. Just thought that was an interesting tid bit.

I'll shut up now.

Trish said...

straight from Christmas decorations and cheese balls to mens balls all in the same post....you always know how to make me laugh!!!!

Brandy@YDK said...

you just had to end with the freakin cookies. now i can't remember anything else you said except anus.

Kristina P. said...

SO true on the sex advice. Just, no. And I am with you on the Christmas decorations. Pain in the butt, but so cute once everything is up!

Whitney said...

"No. Just no." Love it!!!!!

Lisha @ DeLovely Life said...

I need some of those cookies, stat. And I feel sorry for the balls. Everyone ignores them and says they are unattractive. Balls need love, too. ;)

Cindy S. said...

I love the event! I'm also sad about the hiatus :( Boo! It will probably be canceled....at least 50% of the time shows I love get canceled.

RottenMom said...

I'm trying to refrain from making a ball comment.

Oh what the hell, seriously, don't we do enough for them already? Now we have to worry about their balls and their anus!

Cheryl D. said...

Thanks! I DO make excellent cookies and brownies. Just kidding, I'm not that Cheryl! LOL

It does suck about Leslie Nielsen.

Heather said...

I was looking forward to The Event because I thought it would be something Lost-like The Coach and I could get into, but I can't seem to get interested enough. What gives?

Losing Brownies said...

I get so creeped out by sex tips in magazines.

Krystyn said...

I love the Yankee candle fall scents. My fav.

And, I went to a family wedding in England. Everybody kept trying to put something on my head; a hat, a fluffy thing, etc. No thanks!

theTsaritsa said...

I don't know why, but I also love the buttercream Tankee candles. Yummy!

theTsaritsa said...

That shoulda said Yankee...

Kristy said...

Bravo to you on #2, I could not do it. And, yes, I totally relate to #3!

Secret Mom Thoughts said...

I want cookies now too.

Shell said...

I'm addicted to The Event. Didn't think I would like it, but I do.

Lady Mama said...

Like you I hate getting the ornaments out but love when it's all done.

Megan said...

2am?

Whoa - I went out at 5 and felt all wild and crazy!

DustieBottoms said...

Our ornaments along with our tree are still in the attic. DH just does NOT understand that Christmas officially starts the day after Turkey. DUH.

I have another Ok Tuesday for you. It's Ok that Elmo is dead. Come read about it.

Diane said...

Don't forget the balls? BwaHahahaaa!

Liz said...

Hickory Farms summer sausage is what makes my world go 'round. :)

I've never heard of Cheryls before, and it kills me to put in the work to put the holiday decorations away.

ihaveabackbone said...

To throw a Santa hat on the plastic pumpkin that I still have out from Halloween and say that I decorated for Christmas.

AMY said...

HA.....Balls and Anus! Ya right....I'll be forgetting them too!
OH Bummer, sorry hubby!

@ly said...

LOL! Love the whole balls & anus thing...laughed my ass off! I agree!

Hey it's OK.....that I decorated last year and put away some of the regular stuff and never found it again!

Life As I Know It said...

wow - that was an excellent list. So with you on the dress like Kate Middleton thing.

Sarahf said...

I'm always fascinated by the people who write the sex tips, I'm betting they don't do half the stuff they recommend.
Also, sleeping with ornament Rudolph? Oh, Natalie.

Rachel said...

I'm not gonna embarrass myself by admitting how many times I hollered AMEN at the screen while reading this.

Okay, maybe at least seven times.

I know Mr. Daddy aint gonna be happy about The Event... it's one of the few non-hunting shows he can stomach, and one of the few non-Cooking shows I can!

You know... just for kicks - you could grab one of those Kate hats and vlog your cat's attack?

Ang said...

Wow- Kate, cats, cookies and balls!!! Exciting Tuesday around these parts!!

Well, maybe not exciting around HIS parts... LOL

If we were meant to play with balls, they'd be up front and center, like ears or chest hair...and way more attractive. Like ears or chest hair.

Cammy said...

Um, cheese balls = amazing. Man balls = gross!

Megan said...

I shoulda been an Englishwoman. Love me some hats. Was fairly obsessed with Prince William as a young girl. Too bad he looks WAAAAYYY to much like Prince Charles now. Blugh.

Hickory Farms is just pure yum, all around.

shortmama said...

Balls ass and cookies...now thats a way to end a Tuesday

Alicia said...

goo...i'm just gonna forget that whole thing about the anus. no no no! and i was bummed about leslie nielsen too...he was hilarious!

elastamom.com said...

I saw that segment on the Today show and laughed out loud. I can just imagine me walking around with a tiny hat with feathers in midwestern Ohio!

Sara said...

Do you know what magazine I hate more than anything (yet will still read if it's in front of me at the doctor's office)?

Cosmo.

That thing is shit and scares the crap out of the 16-year olds reading it who think they're supposed to be getting Brazilians and boning their future college professors.
