Hey, it's OK . . . .

I simply adore Glamour Magazine's monthly page, "Hey, It's OK . . . !" Every time I read it I walk away thinking Alexandra is the most brilliant girl I know. I have a few "Hey, it's OKs," like,

Hey, it's OK . . .

. . . to not return any one's calls for an entire weekend and snuggle in bed. (Who are you? Paris Hilton?)
. . . to eat cupcakes for breakfast.
. . . to still think there are "boy" jobs and "girl" jobs. (It's perfectly acceptable to never have an inclination to chop wood, mow the lawn or haul a mini-refrigerator up 3 flights of stairs!)

Published by Glamour magazine in their February 2008 issue:

Hey, it's OK . . .

. . . to think that hat head is deadlier than frostbite.

. . . that when the delivery guy arrives with an especially large order of Chinese food, you call out "Food's here!"- to an empty house.

. . . to flip straight to the horoscopes.

. . . that you've carried around your gym bad for the past two weeks but haven't actually made it there yet.

. . . if you can make split-second decisions at work but still need a good 20 minutes to settle on a birthday card for a friend.

. . . if you like to eat veggies mainly for the dip.

. . . to Google your ex's exes.

. . . if people who are tan in the middle of winter kind of freak you out.

. . . if you've tried deep breathing, yoga and meditation, and still ding that screaming into a pillow is the best stress relief there is.

My personal favorites: 1. Googling your ex's exes (or current lovers, whatever), and making self-assured decisions at work, but contemplating greeting cards in Hallmark for an hour and 1/2. Those are both so Ash! :)

What about you? What are some of the life and happiness lessons that you feel 100% guilt-free about?
