It's OK Thursday...

After an upsetting, high blood pressure, random Wednesday that threw me (and many other Horned Frogs) through a loop, I'm back from my social media hiatus for It's OK Thursday.

Its Ok Thursdays


It's OK...

That maybe some people overreacted yesterday (myself definitely included)

To be really annoyed at Nappy when he thinks making a water park in the kitchen is fun

To be frustrated (still) with the waiting game (yay unemployment... NOT)

To still be really behind on Tuesday night TV shows (there's way too many of them)

To be slacking on reading Storm of Swords (the third book in the Game of Thrones series)

To take a social media hiatus every once in a while (it was actually really nice)

To never know what to get your parents on their birthdays

To be glad it's finally Friday tomorrow (has this week been long for anyone else?)

To want to rename my blog but have no idea what to rename it

That I was really excited when my step-sister told me I looked like Kate Middleton in an old picture from Rose Festival

To have parenthesis behind all of my OK's

What are you telling yourself "it's ok..." this week?

My Dad, the Blogger

Many of my friends have heard me talk about my dad. Some are even his friends on Facebook! Yes, my dad is on Facebook. And no, I'm not creeped out by it like some kids are of their parents. A big reason is that my dad still thinks he's in high school and/or college a lot of the time. He does fireworks in the back yard, goes fishing and hunting with his friends for weekend get-a-ways, and dresses like most of the frat-stars you encounter in any college setting. Not to mention he is one amazing cook - chili and grilled ANYTHING are his specialities. Maybe I'm biased because I've grown up on his cooking, but seriously, good food.

Earlier this afternoon, my dad called to tell me he loves reading my blog and ask me a few questions about how to set his own up. Not only does my dad have a Facebook, now he has a blog. He's been a free-lance writer for one of the magazines in town a few times and those articles were hilarious. As he figures out how blogging works (and after I set him up with a better background haha), I'm sure you all will see why I love my dad SO much!
