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 have not woken up at the crack of dawn on Christmas. I taught my kids early on that I am NOT a morning person. So we opened gifts at the respectable time of 830.


To be a little weirded out that Hugh Hefner is engaged to his girlfriend. Isn’t he 100? Oh well, at least he’s more attractive than Larry King.


To love sipping Ginger Ale while flying. It helps calm my nerves a bit.


To have finally discovered Angry Birds. I had heard about it forever and decided, okay, the game is only .99 cents so why not? I’m not very good though.


To not really give a crap that Oprah Winfrey has her own network.


To think the show Brothers & Sisters is hilarious. Makes me wish I had siblings.


To have downloaded Oregon Trail on my iPod Touch. I’m a little surprised that I haven’t died of dysentery yet.


To be proud that I managed to get all my Christmas decorations down and put away.


To have been a little confused when they showed how to make a healthy Thanksgiving meal on The Biggest Loser last night. It’s Thanksgiving. It’s not MEANT to be healthy.


To be ready for the Valentine’s Day chocolates.

LOL. Hugh is 60 years older than his gf! That is just gross!

Shell said...

The Hugh thing is so gross.

A healthy Thanksgiving? I usually have one of those...b/c we go to dh's aunt's house and she is NOT a good cook. So, I don't eat much.

Mrs. Werginz said...

Thanks for my daily smile!!

My husband is obsessed with Angry Birds...I too am no good at it! :(

I'm going to have to get oregon trail!

stephanie said...

The Hef thing? So gross. And I LOVE ginger ale on flights too. It makes me feel fancy which is probably really ridiculous but whatev.

Kristina P. said...

I am still Angry Bird free.

Diane said...

I saw Hugh and his girlfriend on the yahoo homepage he other day. Disgusting.
I try not to do mornings around here either. This Christmas I woke up before the boys did and woke them up to discover that they had gotten up at 4:30
to check out their loot before going back to bed.

Lacey said...

My hubs is OBSESSED with angery Birds! I think I am going to add It's ok (insert day) to my blog!!

Sarahf said...

Healthy Thanksgiving? In January? Odd.

Ed said...

As long as Hugh has money and viagra, he'll have the ladies.

Hey, old mice like cheese too.

Dawn said...

Ha! I finally downloaded Angry Birds. I had heard about it for so long, but then I went into my local music store and there was Angry Birds merchandise EVERYWHERE. I still don't get the hype...but I am getting addicted. LOL

Hot Tub Lizzy said...

And in my case... it's ok to admit that you like the shows on Oprah's new network WAY more than you wanted you.

RottenMom said...

Whew! Glad I'm not the only one who could give a crap about Oprah and her Network.

Yeah for your Tuesdays! Love them!

Firefly said...

We did Christmas morning at 9 so be jealous. Christmas eve is the only time we now use out gate at the top of the stairs on our 5 year old.She did try to trick her sleeping dad into letting her go down to watch a show though.

Hugh is dirty and old, but surprisingly I feel worse for him then her.

I love gingerale even when not flying.

Oprah can go away for all I care.

If you love Oregon Trail check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHps2SecuDk

Have a great day!

Oh and I just put your button up on my blog so feel proud because you are must read to me.

Secret Mom Thoughts said...

Hugh is gross. We opened gifts at 8:30 too. It was glorious to sleep that late.

Julia said...

Oregon Trail? Are you kidding me?
*DOWNLOADS*

Phoenix Peacock said...

Oprah kinda makes me gag.

Brittany said...

agreed! I am ready for Valentines day, simply for the chocolates! :))

Chantal said...

Ginger Ale is my guilty pleasure on flights. I NEVER drink soda except for on airplanes.

Not Blessed Mama said...

i'm getting ready for valentine's too. christmas is over, i need something to live or!

amie said...

I don't care about the Oprah thing either.. but trust me....most siblings are NOT like the Walkers. LOL

Losing Brownies said...

There is Oregon Trail for the ipod touch? Seriously? I must download this now.

The Blonde Duck said...

I think that Hef only got engaged so E would give him a new show.

Brandy@YDK said...

angry birds is awesome sauce. if you get stuck you can youtube the level for help.

ihaveabackbone said...

I'm also a little wierded out by the Hugh engagement. Can they really be in love, or is this just a status and money thing.

Tara said...

Seriously? I can get Oregon Trail on my iPhone??? Hello productivity going right down the toilet this evening.....

Corinne said...

Oregon Trail!!! YAY! I am checking it out right now.

AmericanBridget (Jones) said...

Oh, how I love following your blog. I gave you a shout-out on mine and credit for the whole IT'S OK IT'S TUESDAY thing. Because of you, I have a new Tuesday theme.

Your daily bits of goodness keep me smiling.

Best,
AmericanBridget(Jones)

Lind Family said...

I'm with you on the Hugh Hefner thing. GAG!
I used to watch Oprah a lot but I'm glad to say not any more. I could care less about her network. I miss the shows that used to be on Discovery Health!
Just the mention of Oregon Trail totally brought me back to elementary school! I must play!

WannaBeMarie said...

Oh Angry Birds...haha. The game is so addicting, and yet it makes me so...angry? I can't win!

Cheryl D. said...

I'm waiting for the day after Valentine's Day when the chocolates are half price. Yeah, I'm a big spender!

Nezzy said...

Ya never fail to leave me laughin' sweetie! Your OK list is great!!!!

God bless ya and have a marvelous New Year!!! :o)

Deidra said...

Oregon Trail for the win!

Jana@anattitudeadjustment said...

You might be my soul mate. These are all things that I think are "okay," too! My husband is a master at Angry Birds, but I tire quickly of games. Have you tried Cut the Rope? Now that one is fun.

blueviolet said...

I just don't get the Hugh Hefner thing at all. It's just puke inducing.

Karen Mortensen said...

I so agree with you about Oprah. I am not really into her any more. I think she has an agenda and I don't like it.

Kate said...

Is it okay to eat cake while watching the Biggest Loser? hehe

I love Brothers & Sisters, now that it has lighter storylines than senators, death, cancer, bastard children, cheating spouses, and charities. It's soooo funny now :)

Pat said...

Angry birds has nothing to do with all those birds that fell from the sky the other day right? Kidding!

Personally, I don't like Brothers and Sisters. I think it's gotten stupid.

Hugh Hefner. Ugh.

The Nice One said...

Careful....angry birds is addddddiiiicting!!!!

Megan said...

Just got Angry Birds too. I'm not so hot at it either, but I bought the Mighty Eagle and use him quite faithfully. :D Debated Oregon Trail; must let me know how great it is.

Oprah? People still watch her? Huh.

AMY said...

OH I want Angry Birds....but I have Verizon(don't think I can get it). But I'm so jealous hearing about it from everyone! Sounds FUN!

I like brothers & sisters too. I have a family of 4 kids and our lives are nothing like that.

IWASNTBLOGGEDYESTERDAY said...

Tiffany said...

I just discovered Angry Birds -- so addicting. And I'm off to download Oregon Trail!

Elizabeth @ My Life, Such as it is... said...

I love this idea! And it's a nice reminder that it is perfectly acceptable to be "different" and proud of it.

Never played Angry Birds but am addicted to Words with Friends. I'm thinking about trying it out.

Sara said...

What the flip is Angry Birds?

Sounds made up.

jayayceeblog said...

Brothers and Sisters is one of my family "family" type shows along with Parenthood. And, um, is Hugh Hefner still alive???

Nan said...

I managed the first few levels of Angry Birds, then let my 5year old grandson bust thru the rest of the levels for me! And i STILL can't do amy of them. But at least all levels are unlocked so I have a choive of which level not to win!
