its ok to:
...let the answering machine take every. single. call.
...keep the sex dirty and the fights clean
...pack up and take off at a moments notice cuz your Best Friend needs you more than your family does.
...put vodka in an empty water bottle and take it to a basketball game..not that I've ever done this.
...just eat the meatballs and sauce and forget the pasta..however hard that is to do.
...have an internet boyfriend
...just as long as he STAYS on the internet! HA!
...love your quiet house after the boys go to school..or girls.
...look for a new puppy even tho the Old Man is still hanging on by a thread
...have a horrible complete crush on Gerard Butler
...really dislike Jennifer Aniston
...want to spend more time with your girlfriends than you do your spouse
...charge people for basketball pictures..even tho they think they should get them for free
...crack your knuckles
...want to go back in time say about...6 months..and do things SO differently
...accept that you can't go back in time..and try to make the best of it
...to hate someone and love them at the same time
...to NOT like salmon
...to always be the designated driver
...to wanna move away to an island in the South Pacific..by yourself...with just a computer and the internet
...and your camera
...realize that assholes are usually pathological liars as well
...to think your kids are great but look forward to the day they all move out
...to be as shallow as a puddle
...or as deep as the ocean
...to let someone else do ALL the cooking

LOVE this post! You always put a smile on my face when I read your blog.
I love how you think Beth! I really, really do. You are taking care of yourself and seeing that your needs really do matter and should rank right up there at the top.
XXXX
it is NOT ok to not like salmon!
Can we talk about this Jennifer business?
...have a horrible complete crush on Gerard Butler
(only because I don't see it... handsome..? I think NOT!! That is what makes it a 'horrible' crush!!)
...accept that you can't go back in time..and try to make the best of it
(and it is also okay to grow weary from accepting and making the best of it, and to long to 'get it right' the first time from here on out)
...to wanna move away to an island in the South Pacific..by yourself...with just a computer and the internet
(Which is why 'Castaway' is a movie that I think is one of my faves)
...to be as shallow as a puddle
...or as deep as the ocean
( don't forget that you can drown in either one {if the former is big enough!!})
I think just about everything we do in life is “ok” as long as it doesn’t hurt someone else. Your list fits the bill!
I love these posts...it's like you give me permission to do things I never even thought of!
I heard last night you are coming down here! I am so glad! She needs you so much. I have been helping her as much as I have been able... however I will never be "Beth". I was going to write you and ask you to come... but it looks like y'all beat me to it! I'm so glad! I want to see you when you get here!!!
I was gonna say it but doggy beat me to it..seriously you don't like salmon?? how can that be, I thought we were so compatible until now!!
Looooooooooove it, give Ms. Bina a hug for me!
Do what you want, do what you will..it's your time, seize the moment!
LOVE this post. Mine would include "make your kids go to bed at 7:30 so that you can have some peace and quiet" (and more sleep has never harmed a tween!) and "get everything done on a Saturday morning so you can go hide in your room with a good book, a flannel shirt, comfy slippers, and a cup of tea."
Can you guess what my plans for tonight and the weekend are?!?!
Yep. It's all okay!
