Hell Yes…
* Sunny and warm winter days where you can wear just a scarf and a cardigan and wander around with a takeaway coffee.
* Buckwheat. Freshly cooked in a saucepan on the stove or chilled in a salad. My new favourite power grain.
* Lipstick. I’ve been getting into lipstick in a HUGE way. Wearing a different vibrant shade every day makes me feel so polished and put together.
* Walking home from the city, holding hands with my man and eating gelato in the freezing cold.
* Going hard core on Dry July. I feel freaking tops. Just FYI I’m almost at my goal of $500… feel free to top me up!
* Girls. Easily my new favourite show. I’m completely obsessed with Jessa’s clothes. Expect a style guide soon my poppets.
* Making my own yogurt. I bought an Easy-Yo yogurt maker about a year ago (okay you can stop laughing now!) and it’s tops, I use it every week. Fresh yogurt full of yummy bacteria. Okay that sounds gross but trust me it’s not.
* Getting back into my fitness rountine after a terrible week of the flu. I’m using a fitness program on the Kinect and it’s crazy intense. I love it because I don’t have to leave the warm house in winter. Bonus.
Shit No…
* Paper cuts. Well, more like foil cuts. I got sent a box of moisturiser and it was full of those flat foil sample packages that you get in magazines, but sitting upright on their edge, so when I stuck my fingers in the side of the box to rip the lid off I got eight paper cuts all along my knuckles. So. Painful. Washing my hair has been very stingy this week.
* Having problems sleeping. And by problems, I mean taking more than 30 seconds to fall asleep after my head hits the pillow. I’m a FABULOUS sleeper so when I turn average in this department, I get extremely cranky.
* The fact that my new postie is a total jerk. When I get a package he buzzes and screams ‘PACKAGE!!!!‘ into the phone and hangs up so I have to go out of the building to get it and when I get there he’s all ‘What TOOK you so long?‘. I always find it mildly amusing when people get irate about the very tasks that make up the foundation of their job.
What about you? What are your hell yes and shit no moments of the week?

Shit No – one of the ladies I work with tried to tell me how to fold a regular A4 sized sheet to fit into a regular business envelope. Yeah, I know it goes into thirds, I’ve been a temp for 4 years and folded hundreds of thousands of letters. Bloody hell.
Hell Yes – that same lady, when it was just the two of us in the office, asked me if I was going okay, and if there was anything I needed to know that maybe I’d been a bit shy to ask in the open plan office with half a dozen other people around. There wasn’t, but how extremely super lovely of her was that?
– Also, going to Batman tonight with my Dad at the Westgarth. Hell, yes!!!

Hell yes:
Being at the tail end of an EIGHT day zombie virus and reducing my tissue count by at least a box yesterday.
Celebrating our engagement with my loved ones with karaoke in Sydney tonight
Being half way through my Up and Running (http://www.upandrunningonline.org) program – me a runner? WTFShit no:
Still being sick after EIGHT days
My nose is peeling from so much nose blowing
I have three huge blind pimples on my jawline
Booking karaoke with my loved ones two months ago and having it fall on the same week as the zombie virus 🙁
Not being allowed to exercise for a week because of the zombie virus and falling behind in my running program. -
Shit No: Annoying landlords, being sick, taking steroids for said sickness resulting in bloat.
Hell Yes: Hazelnut gelato, healthy ginger and shallow beef stir fry recipe that I made last night, sunny days and the early promise of Spring. Wearing three shades of pink in one outfit and not giving a fuck if people think you look like Golden Girl.
-
hell yes: I recorded some of my own songs in a proper studio this week! Also, I’ve been really good about working out 4 days a week (purely astonishing for me)!
shit no: I got into a car accident last week and my car is in less-than-stellar shape. It sucks.
PS: for what it’s worth I’ve been told that Mercury is in retrograde – this apparently messes people up in many ways. Perhaps old Merc’ is at the root of your sleeping troubles?!

Shit No: Using different wax strips than normal to de-fuzz my lip and ripping major skin off. Day 1: Red and swollen. Day 2: Kind of grazed and brown scabby peeling bits. Day 3: Heading to major family event looking like a scabby crack whore.
Hell Yes: Flying interstate tonight to spend the weekend with my beautiful family and getting 1000’s of squeezes in from my spectacularly divine nephews. Also, seeing the look on older said nephews face when I bring him a new train. Priceless.
-
Hell yes: skiing and apris (sp?) skiing. Butterscotch snaps tastes like 1998, liquid trip down memory lane.
Babies – catch up with 3 friends that have in the last few months. Two of them were Eurasian. So. Freken. Cute.
Shit no: marking 60 year 11 biology practical reports…boring
-
Hell Yes – blogging about finally getter better after months of winter sinus.
– scones with jam and cream with Boyo after school
– the Welshman ringing to say he’s coming home 2 hours early!
Shit No – waking at 4am the following day feeling like I’d swallowed razor blades.
-
Hell yes: wearing silk scarves, little animal brooches, the beautiful Australian winter, naughty hot chocolate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream…(so sinful…so good). Buying new Peter Alexander PJs!
Hell no: REALLY BAD jetlag! I have spent the last two months living in Russia and now I can’t get my sleeping patterns back to normal. I go to bed at 9pm, wake up at 2am and go back to sleep again at 5am…my sleeping pattern is f*cked.
Lectures at 8am on a Friday morning… -
Hell yes! going to see some drag cabaret tomorrow. Hell yes! had cupcakes for lunch as a treat.
Hell no! I have the plague. I’m serious. This is no longer the flu. Hell no! being harassed by scumbags walking home from the tram stop in broad bloody daylight.
-
Do you live in the CBD? we might share a postie. Mine does the exact same thing. Also, randomly leaves small envelope sized mail laying around outside the mail box for anyone to take it. Big Hell No!
-
Out of interest what program are you doing on the kinect? I need to get back into it too and need some inspiration, i have both sports fitness games.
-
Hell Yes: Huge, awesome, juicy beefsteak tomatoes, with a little bit of Parmesan Peppercorn dressing. I’ve also been getting back into lipstick lately, after a long hiatus. Years long, in fact! Last week I also started exercising again (another long break) after I discovered that some of the workouts that I loved on the now-defunct Exercise TV are on YouTube.
Shit No: Our mail carrier who fills in for the regular guy on his days off insists on cramming stuff that is too big to fit inside the box, in spite of repeatedly asking him not to do so.
Also, having to retake one of my state teacher certification exams…in math.
