"It's OK" - Week 9

I'm joining Neely and Amber for "It's OK" Thursday.  It's been a while since I've partaken in the fun... :-)







It's OK...

...That I totally slacked off and didn't order my Christmas cards until Sunday.  Once I get them, I think I can have them in the mail in two days or less.  (Or maybe I'm delusional!)

...To be absolutely addicted to iced peppermint white mochas right now.  Darn you, Starbucks!!

...To be just a smidge overwhelmed right now.

...That I think that blow up holiday lawn decorations are kinda hideous.  And to secretly want to see them banned.  Or destroyed.  Or maybe just go out of fashion.

...To be thrilled that the knitting in my Etsy store seems to be selling, and that custom projects are rolling in.  :-)

...To have been a little disappointed with the season finale of Covert Affairs.  It's going to be a long wait until its return!

...That I'm almost certain that I'm getting a Kindle Fire.  I'm so *excited*!

What's OK with you this week?

"It's OK" - Week 8

Hey there!  It's time for Neely and Amber's "It's OK, Thursday".  And without further ado...let's get to business!





It's OK...

...To have taken a few week off from "It's OK" Thursday.  My lists were sounding kinda whiny.

...To be super thrilled that Shutterfly is letting me give away FREE cards to three people!!  Come enter, will ya?!?! 

...That I am now addicted to Revenge.  I blame credit Neely!

...To be really hopeful that people starting checking out & buying stuff from my Etsy shop!

...That I'm contemplating another tattoo...but don't have the money for it right now.

...That I may not be giving out candy at my house this year.  I got 8 trick-or-treaters last year.  EIGHT. And my parents need help handling the hoards of munchkins that show up at their doorstep.

...That the drunk dialing incident was the funniest thing that's happened to me in months!


What's OK with you?  Go link up with Neely and Amber!

"It's OK" - Week 7

It's that time, ladies!!!  Neely and Amber's "It's OK" link up!







It's OK...

...That the Red Sox concluded their season in a spectacular fashion.  A spectacular FAIL.  We waited 86 years for a championship win, then got two in the past decade.  There's always next year!

...That the staff at A.C. Moore and Michael's are starting to know me by name.  If my Etsy store takes off, maybe one of the stores will give me a bulk discount?!

...To not fully understand Klout.  I try to give people +k on a daily basis and am thrilled if anyone gives some to me.  I'll figure it all out.  My score keeps going up, so I must be doing something right.  Right??  :-)

...That I totally avoided Facebook all summer, and now feel the need to rejoin society.

...That it seems like there's something in the water.  Lots of people have just had babies or have just announced their pregnancies.  My time will come.  Eventually!

...To be addicted to Twitter.  I'm still thinking in sentences longer than 140 characters, so it's all good.

What's OK with you this week?

"It's OK"...Week 6

I am loving Neely and Amber's weekly "It's OK" link up.  They are also hosting a two week link up about all things fall.  Check them out!




It's OK...

...That I haven't done any of Neely and Amber's fall link up yet.  I will!  Seriously.  Be on the look out!

...To have lost a few followers lately.  Honestly, it bums me out a little, but I realize that I can't make everyone happy.

...That I'm soooo loving fall premier week.  I'm like a kid at Christmas!
...That I would pretty much kill someone for a cupcake right now, but don't want to make them myself.

...To just be jumping on the Klout bandwagon.  And someday...I'll actually figure it out!

...That I'm losing my voice.  I feel fine!  So when I smile and nod, I'm not being rude.  Mmmkay?!

...To be hyped up at the possiblity of getting a really cool job.  (Cross your fingers for me!)

"It's OK"....Week 5

You guessed it, right?  It's Thursday and I'm linking up with Neely and Amber!




It's OK...

...That I totally forgot about the Target for Missoni release until I heard about it on the news.  By then, it was WAY too late.  :-(

...That I'm waaay late in linking up with Amber and Neely today.  It still counts, right?

...To not understand everyone's fanatical love for pumpkin spice lattes.  I like pumpkin!  Just not in my caffeine.  Hand me an iced white chocolate mocha ANY day!

...To be secretly (or not so secretly) thrilled that this will be Desperate Housewives last season.  That show has jumped the shark!

...That Carmella (my parent's cocker spaniel) killed a mouse and brought it to me last night.  My summer just isn't complete until some small backyard creature has been hunted.

...To have been in a craft store three times in the last week.  Yarn is my FRIEND!!

What's OK with you this week?

"It's OK" Thursday...Week 4

You guessed it.  I'm linking up with Neely and Amber again this week.  You should too!




It's OK...

...To have left the house yesterday for an interview with straight hair, but arrived at said interview with wavy hair.  Darn rain!

...To have been really amused that a pigeon was on the subway with my on the way to my interview.  Yes, I even tweeted a picture.  I'm that kind of geek.

...That I'm kinda sad that some of my favorite summer shows are ending.  I'm going to miss them!!  Thank goodness my fall faves are only a few weeks away.

...That while it feels good to be needed, I really need a few hours away from my parent's house.  If I'm lucky, I can sneak out for a cup of coffee after bringing mom to PT tomorrow.

...To be really excited at the prospect of sleeping in my own bed again.  Only a few more weeks!!

...That my migraine has been fairly consistent for the past three weeks.  Having an ice pack on your head is stylish, no?

...To really miss a few people.

...That I have totally let my dogs take ownership of one of my huge down pillows.  They need to be comfortable too, right?

"It's OK" Thursday...Week 3

I'm linking up again with Neely and Amber for "It's OK" Thursday.  It's funny how much I look forward to their weekly link-up!  You should join in on the fun too!






It's OK...

...That I'm on day 12 of a cluster migraine.  But if anyone has a suggestion, I'm all ears.

...To be ready for the fall.  I know I'm weird...but I get tired of the heat and humidity of summer pretty quickly.

...To really want someone to hug me right now.

...That I've realized that I sleep better when the pups sleep with me.

...That I'm really struggling with a header for my Etsy shop.  It's the only thing holding me up from opening shop!

...That I'm weeks behind in watching True Blood.  I'll catch up!

...That this little clip of Shaun the Sheep makes me giggle, no matter how many times I see it.



What's OK with you today?

"It's OK" Thursday... Week 2

Yep, I'm linking up with the fabulous Neely and Amber again for "It's OK" Thursday.  You should too!!




It's OK...

...To be a little nervous about Hurricane Irene.  Boston hasn't gotten a good hurricane in yeeears!  Plus, I need to make sure that both my house and my parents house are ready for it.
...That a teeny, tiny part of me is excited for a hurricane too.
...To be doing all the post-op care for my mom.  Sure, I wish people would offer to help.  Yeah, I wish that just about anyone would ask if I'm handling it all.  But, it gives me a sense of accomplishment too.  I'm up by 6 AM and don't get to sit down until she goes to bed at night.
...That I kinda fell off the face of the earth.  No texting, no calling people, no Facebook, etc. I just don't have time right now.
...To be days behind in responding to blog comments.  I promise I'll get there!!
...To be addicted to Toaster Strudels right now.  Especially the strawberry ones.
...To have missed the boat on Erin Condren planners.  If someone could explain their brilliance to me - I'd be grateful!
...That watching shows "onDemand" has become one of my favorite things lately.  I screamed with joy when I found out that both Samuel and Damian won The Glee Project last night at 2 AM. :-)

What's OK with you this week?

"It's OK" Thursday...

This is my first time linking up with the lovely Neely and Amber for "It's OK" Thursday.  You should go visit her and the others that linked up.  :-)





It's OK...

....That someone on Twitter commented that the blog world has become oversaturated, and I completely disagree. I like discovering new people, and feel everyone has something to say.

....That I haven't slept more than 2 hours per night for the past week.  Sleep is over-rated, right?

....That I won't see my house for a month.  Taking care of my mom while she recovers from knee replacement surgery is worth it.

....That I'm super excited that my back steps will be replaced this week.  Bye, bye brick.  Hello, flagstone!  Other home repairs are just gonna have to wait until I'm back at my house.

....That someone keeps baking banana bread for me, and as soon as she leaves - I have to throw it away.  I don't have the heart to tell her that she is, in fact, the worst cook I've ever met.

....That I didn't realize until 9 o'clock last night that I hadn't had anything to eat of drink at all yesterday. 

....That either my Kindle or knitting needles are in my hands at all times.  I have fabulously strong fingers because of it! :-)
