Hey, It's Okay Tuesday!

One of my favorite blogs, Airing My Laundry, does a post every week that was inspired by a section of Glamour magazine. She invites her followers to do their own posts like this, so I'm giving it a whirl. Since I don't do this weekly, my list will be long.

It's Okay...

*To be happy about my birthday (even though it means getting older) and to count down to it each year. My birthday just happened and now I'm gearing up for a special milestone birthday in 366 days (thanks to the upcoming leap year).

*To not think of the gray in my hair as strands of glitter. I don't have to like everything about getting older.

*To be excited that Chick Lit Central has 3500 likes on Facebook (!!!) and to have a giveaway to celebrate.

*To not want to read Go Set a Watchman.

*To have never read a Jane Austen novel, much to my friend Jamie's chagrin.

*To want to marry the latest novel by Marian Keyes.

*To have a massive girl crush on Ruby Rose.

*To use my bakery gift certificate for a cake because I didn't feel like baking for Shabbat. (It was well worth it too!)

*To indulge my daughter's Super Why obsession. If she learns to read, it will be worth it!

*To not want to see The Minions in the theater. I know they're cute and my kids want to see them, but unless they can convince someone else we're close with to take them, it's not happening on my watch.

*To be addicted to Parenthood after seeing only a few episodes (and to have taken this long to finally start watching it).

*To be very happy over Tatiana Maslany's Emmy nomination and very annoyed over a certain Emmy nomination in the comedy leading actress category...especially since Ellie Kemper and/or Mindy Kaling should have gotten that nomination instead.

*To play Broadway music in the car for my kids on the way to camp (even though I'm not playing any music this week out of respect for the nine days before Tisha B'Av).

*To have worn a "Christmas" dress when I was a kid.

*To not want to spend $100-200 for cute pictures of my daughter. The school hired the photographer anyway and he was egotistical. The pics were really good, but no. I just can't. I told her she could dress up at home and we'd do "glamour shots."

*To not be happy about the choice for Rosie in the movie version of The Rosie Project. I never liked Jennifer Lawrence to begin with and I was really hoping for Emily Blunt in that role.

*To have not purchased anything on Amazon Prime day. Heard it was all a disappointment anyway.

*To not be in a blogging mood, even though I have tons of ideas floating around in my head.

*To eat the chocolate at my desk. Life's too short and the lifeline of chocolate is apparently even shorter. (Hoping there will be a solution for that problem though.)
