Time for another random installment of “It’s Okay Friday”! It’s okay to…

-Plan to cook dinner every night of the week, but end up eating out instead. Hey, it happens.

-See two movies in one weekend. Most likely. Tonight, we’re going to see Prince of Persia (I think), and Sunday, I’m going with a friend to see Sex and the City 2!

-Complain every once in a while. Especially about how long the month of May has been.

-Change a few things up on the 101 in 1001 list. Because it’s mine and I can. Plus, I (sadly) won’t be able to take my cousin’s children places because they’re moving back to Florida tomorrow. Boo! So, those will have to be changed. Eventually.

-Be a little worried about having your wisdom teeth removed IN ONE WEEK because you’ve never had surgery before … and you’re slightly nervous about being sedated.

What are your “It’s Okays” for the week?

P.S. Have a great Memorial Day weekend, everyone! Three days off work is always something to celebrate, but let’s not forget what this holiday is all about!

It’s okay to…

-put up the Christmas tree on November 9th. Yes, we are now one of those people. We didn’t do it on purpose, though! We bought the tree with the intentions of putting it up in a couple weeks, right before Thanksgiving, but our excited got the best of us.

-plan a lunch date with an old best friend & not feel guilty about it! (My brother is staying with us this weekend, but I also really want to spend time with my friend, so Husband will be keeping little brother entertained.)

-want to spend close to $200 each on sibling for Christmas. Hey, I don’t have children of my own yet, and I adore my siblings. It doesn’t hurt that I have a decent paycheck. (I have too many ideas of what I’d like to get them, though!)

-drop everything you’re doing in the middle of the evening to spend some alone time with your significant other. Sometimes, it’s the one thing that will relieve the stress.

-purposely slow down on the Gilmore Girls-watching. We’re on season seven, disc three or four (I can’t remember), and I don’t want it to end wahhhh.

-plan a January trip to Florida, even if it’s not completely set in stone. My aunt, who is only eight years older than me, is having her first child in early January. She’s always been like an older sister to me, and since school doesn’t start until January 14th, I’m thinking of talking Husband into making a trip down there around January 8-11. I’m already looking at hotels. :crosses fingers:

-be a little upset that you’re working on Veteran’s Day … Because I totally did, even though almost everyone was out of the office. I mean, my dad’s a Veteran! That should at least count for something, right?

So, tell me, what were your “It’s Okays” for the week?

P.S. Husband and I are going to a symphony tonight (Beethoven’s Symphony #7), and I’m excited. We went to a Tchaikovksy performance last month, and I enjoyed it!

I haven’t posted an “It’s Okay Friday” post in quite some time, so I figure today is as good as any day. It’s okay to…

-cook something new every night of the week, even if you have other things to do. (This week, I’ve made meatloaf, baked mac n cheese, chili, and homemade sugar cookies — all from the Pioneer Woman’s cookbook. Buy it.)
-eat chocolate every day. Hey, it was just Halloween.
-spend the majority of the day in bed (sometimes).
-watch Grey’s Anatomy and bawl your eyes out. (Don’t I always?)
-be a little upset that Husband and I are on the final season of Gilmore Girls. I don’t want it to be over.
-have dreams about said Gilmore Girls … and feel like you know them in real life. (Right?)
-let out a big, ugly cry (every once in a while).
-disappoint sometimes. You can’t be perfect.

What are your “It’s Okay’s” for the week?

As I’m writing this, I’m not in a very “It’s okay” mood. (I’m getting sick, and I hate when people plan out my weekends FOR me without consulting me until the last minute. No, it’s not Husband. Oh, that’s a story for another time.) I will continue, however. It might lift my spirits a bit.

It’s okay to…

-buy toys for Loki and spoil him a bit. I feel like he’s my child.
-not blog all week because you’ve been busy at work and you’d rather spend your time at home relaxing AWAY from the computer.
-be annoyed when you try to tweet in between meetings at work but twitter is down.
-eat spaghetti-o’s for lunch three days in a row. With meatballs.
-lay around all week after work.
-skip washing dishes for one day.
-wear a semi-dirty shirt to work … because you didn’t feel like doing laundry. (Okay, it wasn’t dirty. I wore it one other day without washing it, and it smelled fine.)
-watch Gilmore Girls every night of the week for two weeks. (We’re halfway through season two now. Oh, Husband actually loves it.)

What are your “It’s okays” for the week?

It’s okay to…

-buy a bookshelf from Target, not because you need it, but because you want it. (Okay, we kinda need it.)

-spend every night during the week watching Gilmore Girls with your husband. (We’ve watched 2-3 episodes every night, but it’s fun!)
-eat food from Krystal’s, then bake chocolate cake, all while fully aware of how unhealthy it is.
-skip your 30-day shred workout for an entire week. (I just haven’t been up to it. I’ll get back into it eventually.)
-only do “It’s Okay Fridays” because it makes the week go by much faster.

It’s okay to…

-forget about It’s Okay Fridays for several weeks.
-cry the entire length of a movie. (My Sister’s Keeper)
-do the 30-day shred and actually like it. (Because I do!)
-go to bed at nine (or earlier) every night for a week.
-get to work thirty minutes to an hour early.
-promise to stay away from the internet one evening and watch television instead.
-make your Husband see The Ugly Truth with you, even though he doesn’t really want to. (That’s happening tonight.)
-Leave early on Friday because you’ve been coming in early all week (and stayed late one day). (That’s happening today.)
-eat powdered donuts for breakfast.
-be cranky and take it out on the jerk at work. (That happened today.)

What are your It’s Okays for the week?

I know I slacked on my Friday post last week, but I’m here today to catch up a little. It’s okay to…

-Wake up an hour late Friday morning. Oops. (That was me this morning.)
-Be overly excited about the Etsy shop. (I’m hoping to have it completely ready BY July 1st, though it may be sooner.)
-Spend too much money on things for The House.
-Not be completely moved into said House yet. (I wish we were … but we’re taking our time. Hopefully by this weekend, though!)
-Eat at Sonic two times in one week.
-Be annoyed at the fact that this week has gone on FOREVER.
-Laugh hysterically in a meeting with your co-worker.
-Not have much to say for “It’s okay Friday” because you can hardly remember the entire week.

What are your “it’s okays” for the week?

It’s okay to…

-cancel your beach trip because you need to spend the money on summer clothes (including a dress for the one year anniversary), your new house, and other important things.
-go shopping with your younger sister. (It was fun, and I got a new pair of jeans [I had to exchange a pair that didn't fit], a tank top, flip flops [for $7!], and salt scrub.)
-bounce up and down in your seat (in the Starbuck’s drive-thru) because your husband texts to tell you that the renters will be moving out this week!
-try something new at Starbucks. (I got a tall black shaken iced tea lemonade, and LOVED it. Wish I would’ve bought a venti.)
-walk into a store, see that a pair of jeans is $90, and walk right back out.
-be a little disappointed because Victoria’s Secret doesn’t have many bra options in the store for your size. Looks like it’s online shopping for me!
-choose Chik-Fil-A over Greenlife (an organic grocer) … because waffle fries and good sweet tea are both worth it.
-be completely excited about your three-day weekend!

What are your “it’s okay’s” for the week?

It’s okay to…

-not go to work on Tuesday because you literally can’t move.
-cry every day, all week (because I did … mostly for no reason).
-watch Grey’s, cry a few times, and be COMPLETELY shocked at the end. Did not see that one coming. Oh, how I wish I didn’t have to wait ’til next season!
-drive an hour away to go out with a friend and let her pay for your dinner.
-let your dad fix stuff on your car just to let him know he’s still needed. (Now I have a CD player, new door handles, and my lights have been changed.)
-be broke all week. (Even though it sucked, it was a good experience to not have as much money as I usually do. So glad I got paid today, though.)
-ignore your blog for a couple days when you start having technical issues. (Luckily, I have an awesome host, and during that two day vacation from my blog? They fixed everything … EVEN THOUGH the problem had nothing to do with them–it was a problem with wordpress. So glad that Kyla Roma suggested them.)

What are your “It’s okays” for the week?

Yes, it’s Friday again. These weeks have been going by so quickly for me! As always, it’s okay to…

-spend nearly $3000 to buy your very own car. (Totally worth it.)
-be completely excited about your very own house, even though the reason the renters are moving out isn’t ideal.
-want to stare at your new blog design all day long because you are so happy with it.
-relax for the latter half of the week because you were so busy during the beginning of it.
-read a few books in a couple days … because you haven’t read in so long.
-obsessively check the weather to see what it will be like in Myrtle Beach next month (beach time!), even though you know it’s not going to show anything this far away from the date.
-be annoyed that the weather has been rainy all week.
-cry while watching Grey’s Anatomy. (Okay, I do this every week, so we should know by now that it’s definitely okay to. Seriously, though. Who watched Grey’s last night, and what did you think? I mean, I bawled.)
