Hey, It's Okay Tuesdays

Amber says things.  She said them first.  Seriously.  Go see for yourself.  Shit's funny, too.



Hey, it's okay...


...if you're sitting in traffic, absently singing along to the radio until you realize that the song to which you somehow know all the lyrics is a f@#$ing Taylor Swift song. 

...if it's pouring outside and you're not certain all your windows are up, but you are way too lazy to go outside and check it out.

...to like your clients better when they bring ribs and puppy chow to sessions.

...if you went into Hallmark looking for a Halloween card and when the helpful Hallmark employee came over and commented, "We have a great Halloween selection!", you assumed he was being sarcastic and replied with a snarky, "I beg to differ..."

...if you teased a 6-month old baby by waving pudding in front of his face just to see if his eyes would track it.  (They did.)

...to really hate the new Burger King jingle about breakfast.  Anyone who would do that to something sacred like breakfast is not getting my money.

...to be wildly disappointed when you tell someone you prefer it (your coffee) strong and black and he doesn't smile, snort or even respond with a half-assed "That's what she said."

...if you are considering getting two masters degrees because in your mind, it basically equals a Ph.D.

...to detest the graphic novel genre, and any movies based on one.

...if, after seeing I Am Legend for the first time, you felt that the story was unnecessary, but you understood when Will Smith's character got upset because a stranger cooked his bacon.

I really liked that you confirmed that the 6 month old baby can track the pudding. I always thought that was a rumor. ;)

I'm always disappointed when I leave a TWSS moment wide open and someone doesn't step up to the plate.

I can't resist a good "That's what she said."

1. Man, I HATE that I know all those Taylor Swift songs. But I do.

2. Teasing babies is fun. *ducks*

3. "Strong and black" deserves some kind of response: that's what she said, just like I like my men, etc, etc. Get with it!!

4. The bacon part pissed me off FOR him. The nerve!!

Goddammit I HATE THAT BURGER KING JINGLE.

It's breakfast! It's breakfast! New breakfast at BK!!!

$^&*@#$ it's going to be in my head for the rest of the day. :(

Four years doing anything is worth a PhD to me!

I totally hate when I serve up a completely easy joke for someone to take advantage of and the DON'T! Frustrating.

Sam said...

I just remembered I have to watch that movie. I tried to read the book, but it was really boring. I'm hoping Will Smith punches a zombie in the face and goes "Welcome to Earth!" That happens right?

Christina said...

Oh, babies... they're here for our amusement.

That's why people keep having them, right? It can't be for the weight gain and sleeplessness.

FRANNIE said...

I completely agree about the bacon.

She's all: I found bacon!

and

He's All: No shit! It's my house I knew there was bacon!

Abigail said...

Haha love it!

Sarah Beth said...

You're ridiculously funny, and I love it. Also, I sing Taylor Swift all the time. But, usually I get caught at red lights singing "Before He Cheats" at the TOP of my lungs.

Carrie said...

i think anyone can make me like them better if they bring food...

Kay said...

I do that with songs all the time! And then my usual reaction is "ew omigosh I hate myself and the world... but I'm too lazy to find a new station so I might as well keep singing along."

AiringMyLaundry said...

Ha "i beg to differ." Hilarious.

I don't waste calories on fast food places most of the time. I'd rather pig out on fries at lunch.

Liz said...

I can't imagine you're too happy with yourself now that you realized your secretly long for Taylor Swift.

Shell said...

That breakfast jingle is so annoying.

I still haven't seen I Am Legend. I thought I did, but I got it confused with the one where he's somem sort of twisted superhero.

Allyson said...

Why do I always feel unjustifiably better after reading "It's OK Tuesdays..."?? And why was I thinking "hey it's OK..." when I was spying on my neighbors from my guest bedroom window? You truly do bring out the best in me.

That epic flute solo in Burger Kings ads? Makes me want to rip out someone's throat.

Like the ad exec who came up with that and the creepy "King" mascot.

What an a-hole.
