Prepping for our Holiday

We're off to Greece in a week and a day and I need to get ready. There's hair removal, exfoliating, manicures, hair dying and on and on. This morning I purchased a so called Pedi Maus which is the European version of the Ped Egg. The gadget is supposed to exfoliate your feet and it is shaped like an egg with a parmesan shredder type thing attached. The idea is that it takes off your dead skin, collects it and then you get look at the grossness that is inside. Meh. Jury's out. I look like I dragged my heels along concrete for an hour. Stay tuned.

I have to get back to self tanning so I don't blind our fellow guests so the first layer goes on today. And since my hair is getting blonder and blonder due to the sun, I am putting a little brown rinse in today so that it doesn't go platinum on holiday. Next, I'm going to book an appointment to get my eyebrows waxed and dyed (dying my eyelashes too) so I can forgo makeup during the day and swimming with full make up is stupid. Note to self: purchase SPF 500 for the trip as well. Busy, busy.

Today is absolutely beautiful and after yesterday's monsoon, I need the vitamin D. I kept the Kid home yesterday so I only had the chance to hit the gym and then this morning I was too tired to hit the gym so I did Zumba after I dropped him off at daycare. After my home spa day, I'm meeting someone for an interview for an article and then tonight I'm making hot dogs on the bbq. I will hold on to this summer feeling all day and be a cheery bastard. No. More. Rain!

I cannot wait to see Greece again and swim and to also see the Kid lose his ever loving mind when he sees the hotel that has a pirate ship slide and splash pads. I also cannot wait to spend evenings on the balcony with the Husband, drinking cheap wine and talking about the other guests. That's our favourite hobby! Time to self tan!

A Key Word Post

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...
