A Little Pampering

Yesterday was a real OC housewife day. In the morning I hit the gym, woke the Kid up, got him ready for daycare, brought him to daycare, bought groceries and showered because it was already baking out. Then I headed to my gyno appointment but she had messed up the dates but that's ok cause she's super awesome and we totally could be besties if she didn't have to look at my va jay jay every 6 months. After my non appointment, I headed home, had lunch, showered again (really hot out) and then headed to my favourite spa. I had booked the "eye special" which includes eyebrow plucking (not waxing which I didn't realise and it hurt like crazy because she was a sadist in braces), eyebrow dying, eyelash dying and an eye mask. The whole thing costs 25.90 which is a great price!

After my treatment, I headed home and changed and met a friend for a round of tennis. Then we had drinks at the tennisclub and I continued to sweat. It was really really hot out. After, I headed home and followed the Kid around with a fan and then put him to bed, made dinner and then the Husband and I sat in our own sweat watching a German reality show. The day wore me out...

So far today I've shellacked my nails (we'll see how long it lasts), bought a ton of crap for our holiday (diapers, swim diapers, Hot Wheels (bribe), biscuits (bribe), sunscreen in various SPF's, after sun and so on and so on). Going on a holiday with a toddler makes one pack like you're moving to another country. I am not looking forward to the flight but meh, it'll be 2.5 hours of hell and then we'll be in Greece! Woot!

At 4 I have a spray tanning appointment. Last year I went and you can read about it here. This year I decided not to risk being raped so I Googled for another place in Vienna and found one. Based on the pictures, it didn't look like a den of rape so I booked an appointment online. They didn't get back to me after 2 days and of course the 4 missed calls didn't clue me in... stupid is as stupid does. So I finally called back and they confirmed my appointment but told me I had to come in that afternoon to pick up exfoliator. I was like "wow! what a service" until I showed up and they charged me 8 euros for a dime bag of exfoliator. In an hour I will take a shower and scrub down and this 8 euro tablespoon of gunk better take off layers. Stayed tuned to what happens on another spray tanning adventure. I'm just worried that I'm going on a plus 30 degree day and that the spray tan will pool around my ankles. Fingerscrossed I don't schwitz.

A Key Word Post

Image
I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi...

The Way Some People Find my Blog and a Challenge

Image
Now, I am not sure why people read my blog. O.k., there are some reasons that people read my blog... they are interested in autism, they like my use of gifs, they are my friends and want to support me, sometimes I make them laugh, they want to see if they are mentioned in it, they live in Vienna and want to know where I go so they can avoid bumping into me... I don't have a sophisticated stat counter on my blog. The only thing I can really see is the number of page views, which countries those page views are coming from and what people search for and somehow end up on my blog. So I decided today to post the most common terms that bring people to my page. And some of them are amusing. Pros and cons to living in Vienna : This one is pretty understandable. I did a whole "pros vs. cons" post a while ago. I think if I had to move to a new city I would most likely type in the same thing. As well as, "average price of alcohol". Salma Hayek naked : I have abso...

How to Dress Rich - Old Money

Image
Back in March, the Husband and I enjoyed an amazing night at the Bristol. It was a gift from my parents and probably the most amazing thing about that night was that we got a complimentary upgrade. We laughed, we danced and then I stopped and said in a serious tone to the Husband "It's cause we dressed rich an you know it." And then I danced some more and drank Moet Chandon straight from the bottle. I have class and you know it. Dressing rich is not that hard and doesn't have to cost that much. Now I am not talking about Kardashian rich (that money is the money of Satan), I am talking old school money, country clubs and drinking scotch. Here are some tips to how you can dress to look rich for different occasions (please note that this is in no way making fun of rich people, poor people or any people. This is based on observations on my part and the deep seated desperation of wanting to be a rich WASP from the East Coast. Pick me!). Dressing old school money pretty m...
