Last Minute Projects and This Week's Menu

Wow! Only 2 weeks left! I can't believe almost 4 months have gone by. I got stuff done and I didn't get some stuff done but now that the crunch is on, I am in a panic to complete ALL THE SUMMER PROJECTS! What I have left to do:

-Clean out the closet and get rid of a few more bags of crap
-Clean out one of our bookshelves and replace with purses so that there is more room in the closet for crap
-New one since the weekend: paint the dining table and chairs (originally the table was shiny navy and I wanted it to match our brown Kenyan furniture, so about 7 years ago I sanded it down and painted it brown and gold. I had blue snot for a week. Now I want it white with blue print.)
-Sew a couple of tops
-Get as much writing on my novel as possible

It is going to be a very busy 2 weeks. This morning I brought the Kid to daycare, walked to the bagel place for gluten free bagels, brought a pair of pants to the tailor and then walked to a furniture store for white paint. In about an hour I will meet a friend for tennis and then pick up the Kid and head to friend's courtyard for some wine and water fun. Tomorrow I am meeting a co-worked for coffee, then a friend for lunch and either the Husband or I will go to a friend's birthday dinner in the evening. Wednesday I will paint the table and then go to a friend's and then Thursday, I will paint the table and work on the bookshelf and closet. Busy busy.

Weekends are always the toughest to eat well. Especially when the Husband and I finally went to this Italian place nearby that has a playground in the garden. I didn't eat there, but drank a lot of wine which then led me to inhale gluten free chips. Sigh. But it was a pretty awesome weekend. The Kid is growing up and starting to realise that we kind of own him and he is much more manageable. We are starting to realise that we can do more things now and not break into a sweat every time the Kid starts to kvetch. Oh thank you deities!

So, long story short, to quote Dr. Phil; If I fail to plan, I plan to fail... So here is this week's menu:

Monday:
Lunch: fruit smoothie and gluten free bagel with margerine
Dinner: Fresh mozz and gluten free bagel

Tuesday:
Lunch: Chicken salad
Dinner: Veggie burger sans bun

Wednesday:
Lunch: Smoothie
Dinner: Chicken curry with brown rice

Thursday:
Lunch: Smoothie
Dinner: Burger salad

Friday:
Lunch: Smoothie
Dinner: Sushi (Kappa Maki)

Weekend planning still pending...

2 more weeks! 2 MORE WEEKS!

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

A Tova Movie Re-cap: Bram Stoker's Dracula

You all like that I am reviewing films that are over 20 years old, right? I'm like Grandpa Simpson. Today's post is a re-cap of one of my all time favourite Halloween movies EVER. And it isn't just a Halloween movie.. it is so much more. It is Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. I remember exactly when I saw this film for the first time. We were at my Godmother's cottage in Quebec and my parents and I and my brother headed to the video store. I stood in front of this VHS cover and stared and stared (that's how I would let my parents know I wanted something back in the day. I was not allowed to beg for toys so in my brilliant infantile wisdom, I concocted a full proof plan. I would stand in front of a toy (probably a My Little Pony) and stare and stare and stare. I was subtle. I still do this today at jewelry stores.) I was 12 years old at the time and had graduated from being fascinated with witches to vampires. Puberty, guys. I was OBSESSED wi

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".
