Shit Yeah
* Spontaneously re-arranging our little apartment so it looks like people live here. We moved in three months ago and promptly traveled non-stop for a month, so our home looked quite bare and resembled a dentists office. It’s now a perfect little homey haven.
* Buying giant glass-safe coloured textas and going nuts writing lists all over my mirror.
* Making enough money from my blog to support myself for the whole month of August. I’m still doing heaps of client work and various other projects but I’ve made enough money from Smaggle alone to pay my rent, bills and food for a full month. After five years of blogging for very little fiscal return, this excites me greatly.
* Getting invited to three different weddings in spring! Glee!
* New exercise apps motivating me to go running. Reviews coming soon!
* Karen Walker Bot on Twitter. Always gives me a lunch time giggle.
* Game of Thrones. The Mister and I are addicted. We’ve been taking sneaky afternoon Thrones breaks at 3pm with tea and pillows on the couch and then sneaking in another episode before bed. So good.
* Hopping into my car this evening and finding a dry, lemon wedge filled gin glass in my cup holder. A souvenir left over from Saturday night when I drove my friend to a gig and she casually took her glass tumbler in the car for the ride. Class.
Hell No
* Getting a parking ticket. It’s true, I was technically illegally parked but all the permit spots were taken and I live literally next door to a very popular Melbourne watering hole, so getting any kind of park on a Friday night is a miracle. I just think it’s a bit rich because I obviously live in the area and I pay for a yearly permit to park in that area where there’s never any permit parks. Cut me some slack jerk features.
* My magazine addiction coming back with a vengeance. I totally thought I kicked the habit years ago but I still keep sneaking a Grazia or a New Weekly in with my groceries. Naughty Smaggle.
What about you? What are your hell yes and shit no bits of the week?

Went into Coles to buy a drink and came out with three magazines. I was only going to get two, but Instyle shouting at me about it’s 150th issue at the checkout meant it went in my basket too. I’m a broken record, but I miss US magazine prices.
Shit Yeah – Getting through my dentist appointment with ease on Saturday. Doesn’t sound like much, but I’m the panic attack, pass-out, needle phobic type so it was a delightfully big deal.
– This video of an otter stacking plastic cups http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wavh47RpLz4 Elephants better watch out as Otters are making a play for favourite animal ever in my heart.– Nurse Jackie! Zoe is the best! Thor is the best! Pete is the worst!!!
Hell No – I feel like every warehouse conversion apartment comes with some sort of bug problem, this particular one has moths. Driving me nuts!

Love this post Smaggle!
Loved Game of Thrones. Became so obsessed I locked myself in the house one weekend watched it all. Oh and my magazine addiction is out of control at the moment! Oooopsy-
I’m LOVING Game of Thrones. I wish it was my job.

Congratulations Carly, I am so excited that you have hit that magic mark and are making money from the blog!
Shit, yeah – making a few changes around the office, in spite of my controlling co-worker.
– having a weekend away in Bendigo for the Bendigo Writers Festival, which was completely amazing.
– being inspired to find a new place to live, which I will like at least as much as the place I stayed at in Bendigo.
Hell, no – my controlling co-worker, whose eye twitches whenever I propose a change to procedures (which desperately need re-vamping).
– spending a leetle too much money in Bendigo
– realising that I bloody hate the place I’m living at the moment, and need to save money and start looking for somewhere else.
