Dinners This Week and Crap I Have to Do

It was a lazy perfect Sunday but alas it is over. I cannot believe it is the last week of August. Summer is ending but Fall is just around the corner which makes me want to yell "PASHMINAS FOR EVERYBODY!!!". Yesterday I realised I do not have any rain boots and that made me sad. I'm kind of obsessed with the Hunter boots but they are out of my price range. I told the Husband that I would be purchasing a pair of rain boots and the convo went like this:

Me: I'm going to buy rain boots.
Him: Why?
Me: For the rain.
Him: It will stop raining.
Me: It will rain again.
Him: Rain boots are ugly.

Mawwiage. Sigh. So after work I will head down to a shoe store and buy the ugliest damn pair of rain boots. Or cute ones. I probably should get cute ones. I also need to purchase a rain coat. And maybe a cable knit sweater. I have visions of walking through rainy fields with the Kid on our estate. I have a lot of visions that involve us having an estate. I should have been a Kennedy.

I have so much to do this week:

- Finish the dress I am sewing for a friend
- Finish crocheting two scarves (SCARVES FOR EVERYBODY!!!)
- Make a Fall wreath (Friend wrote me about where to get burlap for her wreath, I told her to get off Pinterest. If she writes me about where to get mason jars I'm staging an intervention) I am going to make a wreath that will involve fake Fall flowers and a glue gun.
- Attend a wedding
- Maybe make myself a dress as well

So I'm going to be a little busy. After a weekend of debauched eating, I will be eating pretty clean this week. Smoothies and fresh pressed juices during the day and healthy dinners in the evening. The plan is:

Monday: Scrambled eggs and a bagel
Tuesday: Tom Kha Gai soup and rice
Wednesday: Fresh mozz sandwiches
Thursday: Chicken curry
Friday: Tomato soup and a grilled cheese

Last week of August! Last week of strapless dresses! Hurray!!!

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

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".
