Hey, It's Okay Tuesdays

On Tuesdays, I like to follow in the footsteps of Amber from the Whispering Writer.  She taught me that Tuesdays are OKAY!


Hey, it's okay...


...if you're not caught up on all your blogs because school is sucking your will to live.  (Right?  RIGHT???)

...to pee a little with excitement when you remember that your stories are back on this Thursday on NBC!

...to put half your dinner in tupperware and pretend you're not going to eat it all an hour later.

...to watch your roommates do yoga while eating the aforementioned leftovers.

...to claim there's "nothing on TV" just because you can't find a single rerun of Scrubs or Friends.

...if you get frustrated because no one in your cohort knows who Andie MacDowell is.


...if you know how to pronounce fancy pharmaceuticals and psychotropic medications, like lorazepam, thanks to your vast knowledge of CSI episodes.

...to pee 17 times before you go to bed, but still get woken up at 3am by your bladder.

...to be eating dinner, but already getting excited for the pancakes you know you'll be eating when you wake up.

...to think you hate hummus and then eat a giant container of it, but still not feel badly about it.  You know, because it's hummus.

Your cohort should know who Andie MacDowell is. She lives in North Carolina, for cryin' out loud! :)

My wish has been granted! More permissions!

I love how you referenced "Friends" and "hummus" in the same post. One of my favorite Phoebe moments comes from when they are getting ready for Ross's awards thingy and Phoebe gets hummus on her dress. "Hummus....I got the hummus".

Lisa said...

Yay!!! Your "Hey, it's ok Tuesdays" are giving me one more reason to enjoy Tuesdays! Today I literally was like, "Oh boy, it's Hey It's OK Tuesday!"

And this one was perfect. The leftovers...the Thursday stories...the Scrubs reruns...you know the song in my heart and are able to sing it back to me when I have forgotten the words.

I claim there is nothing on TV when I can't find Friends. I do know who Andie MacDowell is, and school is sucking my will to live. I should be writing a paper right now...

Cathy said...

I'm missing your funnies, but school is more important. Who doesn't know who Andie MacDowell is?? How old are these cohorts of yours?

mmmmm....pancakes.

ArizonaLewis said...

there are 3 constant themes i'm picking up on: food, tv and peeing. dear lord, i love you.

Macey said...

The peeing and the stories on NBC make you sound 80. You're not secretly 80 are ya??
I've never had hummus. Guess I should try it...?

Salt said...

I'm so pleased to know that there are other people out there who are as frequent pee-ers as I am.

I <3 Andie MacDowell. Groundhog Day is one of my faves forever.

Hehe, love your blog!

I'm not caught up on my blog reading either... but because of family... not school. But Hey, it's Okay... right? Hahah.

Tracie Nall said...

How does someone not know who Andie McDowell is? That is just wrong!

I fear that I will never get caught up on blogging!

Helene said...

I know who Andie MacDowell is....can we hang out???

This list is hilarious! I once tried to convince a friend that eating an entire bag of pistachios was okay because nuts are good for you, right? Apparently, not if I eat the whole bag. Oh well, it could've been worse, right?

How bad can hummus be??

Alexandra said...

I love these "OK Tuesdays" .. I 'm going to start working on my list.

What an awesome idea, and so much fun to read. I love peaking inside people's heads this way.

Thanks for the fun!!!

SurferWife said...

OMG! That last one was my husband today. He claims to hate my garlic hummus because he swears it's made of pig liver.

And then he eats all of it.

I'm also still upset about the Andie M thingy, too.

Alicia said...

mmmmmmm hummus! nom nom nom. and dude...CSI taught me everything i need to know in life...like how to 'dispose' of a body...all the important stuff.

Secret Mom Thoughts said...

Love this post. I definitely wake up every night to pee too.

Also came over from Stirfry Awesomeness. I think the letter is perfect way to break it to your parents.

Sara @ Domestically Challenged said...

Sweet! I do half of these myself!!

Bathwater said...

I'm coming from Tracie's blog... I think you should become a sex therapist. It's not like you won't be dealing with a bunch of weirdos there too.
