Be your best self.

Oh Yes and Hell No!

Oh Yes and Hell No!

Oh Yes

* Long car trips listening to Louis C K comedy and Stanford college podcasts.

* Afternoon couch naps with my Pomeranian friend Charlie.

* Beautiful luggage to take to India.

* My favourite Greek Chobani yogurt being on sale.

* Having my two November wedding outfits sorted.

* My new heart rate monitor. Love it. I never waste a run by being slack anymore.

* Ear marking some Smaggle time for January to work on a project I have brewing.

* Glasses (bottles) of wine with my mum.

* My awesome new stretch Lycra onesie that I’m wearing under EVERYTHING! Seriously. It’s a Lycra onesie. Photos soon, I promise.

* Crazy, wonderful, hilarious and exhausting afternoons with my niece.

* Having her look at my mother’s ample bosom, then back at my more modest rack and ask ‘Where’s your boobies Carly?‘. Hilarious.

* Surprising my bestie on her birthday.

* Dumpling dates with my crew.

Hell No

* My typhoid shot that’s still hurting a full week later.

* Enthusiastic and playful puppy bites that accidentally break skin.  Ouch.

* Bad sleeping patterns exacerbated by early warm summer weather. Blergh.

And you…?

    I saw your email in my Inbox Lady Smaggle, and was prepared to be all grumpy and just post a whole lot of Hell, No happenings, then came here and had to laugh at the gorgeous, outrageous shoes! Thanks for the giggle!

    Hell, No
    – working way too much. A couple of 12 hour days, and no lunch breaks. I even went in on the public holiday yesterday. Blech.
    – watching some acquaintances deal with a really sick daughter. Like, really sick. Like, dying. I can’t stand it. That puts everything into perspective.

    Oh, Yes
    – I made chocolate chip cookies for my big meeting today at work and got to eat the leftovers.
    – I picked up my new glasses yesterday.
    – I had a nice breakfast out with my Dad and my sister.

    I dunno, looking on the positive side, things aren’t as bad as I thought, but I just can’t stop thinking about that little girl and her parents who are trying to cherish every moment with their sick daughter.
