Hey, It's Okay Tuesdays

I've been slacking on this particular feature the last couple weeks. 

If you want some more quality "Hey, it's okay" fodder, then go visit Amber at Airing My Dirty Laundry, One Sock at a Time.


Hey, it's okay...


...to figuratively bang your head against a wall when you learn none of your friends know who Sly and the Family Stone is.

...if you hate that guy who always brings his guitar to parties and starts singing Green Day. 

...to believe for a full five minutes that April has 28 days.

...to use a giant chest of drawers as an excuse to get out of town.

...to consider moving to Boston so you can finally live amongst fellow baseball fans.

...if you are half annoyed/half relieved that you promised someone else you'd see the new Twilight movie with them.

...if you keep dreaming about groundhogs.

...to miss seeing men in baseball caps and t-shirts rather than croakies and polos.

totally move to the beantown. that would be rad.

i tried to see what dreaming about groundhogs could mean, and this is all they could tell me "Keeping to one's self a lot. Sleep and dreaming. Cycles and seasons." thanks, dream dictionary. super enlightening...

I want to see the new Twilight movie but I also don't want to sit in the theater among thousands of 14 year old girls head over heels in lust. haha.

Dreams about groundhogs? That's just weird.

Cathy said...

I too hate that guy.

What are croakies?

Sarah Beth said...

My mom went to a Sly and the Family Stone concert back in the day.

Also, did I know you were a Red Sox fan?? Please, let's move to Boston together!!!!

foxy said...

That is a MOUNTAINOUS chest of drawers, sister. Can you imagine all the clothes one could fit in that thing???

Christina said...

OH MY GOSH. Yes to the polos. Had a friend visit me when I lived in the Virginia, and after about a day she made the observation, "So, pastel polos and plaid shorts -- that's kind of like the douchebag uniform in the south, right?"

Yes.

Shell said...

Groundhogs? LOL

Unknown said...

When I saw the last Twilight movie, I went with a friend a LONG time after it came out... so the theater was mostly empty except for us two gals and ... 2 single middle aged men.

creepy.

Liz said...

I love that the AdSense ad across the bottom of your blog is for "Men's Polos" at Express. Perhaps AdSense should be able to actually READ the post!

Totally not trying to pimp my blog (I swear), but Ducks Out Of A Row will sometimes have an ad for "Ducks Be Gone" or something like that. I always see it and say "What the hell?"

(Okay, I know that there aren't people who choose which ads appear and it's some computer program... but still!)

Is it okay to sometimes leave a double comment on accident? I always feel like such an idiot when I do that...

Liz Mays said...

I think your Boston move is a well conceived notion. But the groundhog thing...that's concerning.

Salt said...

Maybe it's because I'm having a long day or something, but I just read the part about April having 28 days and thought...yeah? It does...doesn't it?

I'm glad it's really ok.

Moira said...

I hate the Green Day guy too. Wish he had a mute button. And an invisibility cloak.

I'm skipping over Twilight, by the way, and holding out for Harry Potter.

Bathwater said...

I'm with Salt, I had to think for a minute on the April thing. My Hey its okay list would probably make me look like a train wreck.

It would start out something like this.

...to steal a couple of your friends Davocets even though they stopped giving them to you because they think you are an over the counter drug abuser.

SurferWife said...

What the shit is a croakie. Sounds like death. And who wears death on their head?

Other than Larry King.

Dee at Pedestrian Palate said...

What?! Your friends don't know Sly and the family stone? There are only 2 options - educate them or dispense with them.

Yankee Girl said...

Oh no! That guy is my husband. But he doesn't sing Green Day. Nope, instead he sings a song he made up about skullf*@king.

Not much better though, is it?

Allyson said...

Is it OK to hate the guy who takes Guitar Hero just a little TOO seriously? Like will never let others take a turn and always berates my drunken strummin'??

Amy said...

It's ok to want to tell the person on the train that they are taking up too much of your personal space and accidentally elbow them if they don't move....

Tracie said...

I hate that guy. But I probably made out with him a time or three.

Alicia said...

ughhh i hate that guy! probably because he was always my ex boyfriend or something...yup...always had a weak spot for the musicians.

Felicity Grace Terry said...

Croakies?

Vanessa said...

What's a croakie? Or is the singular a croaky?
