I'm Faaaaaaat

I went on the scale this morning. It was stuff that nightmares are made of. I even pushed up on the sink to lower the numbers. Somehow mentally that makes me feel better. But letting go of the sink made me sad. I guess 4 months of holiday, 4 weeks back at a desk job and serious stress has made me want to EAT ALL THE THINGS. It has been so ridiculously hectic at work that I am inhaling anything that isn't nailed down. I have the angry at myself blues now.

On Saturday we are going to a wedding. I have decided to wear the dress that was featured in the Hangover Miracle of 2011. Last night I decided to try it on and while it fits (thank you jeebus) it isn't as loose as it was last year. But we have just been invited to the first part of the wedding so I figure I can be uncomfortable for a couple of hours.

I am annoyed with myself and feel like running around in garbage bags until I finally drop these blasted 20 pounds. So, if you need to find me, I will be sitting in the corner wearing 4 layers of Spanx and feeling sorry for myself.

Sidenote: I am lucky to have an amazing husband. As I sat on the sofa this morning and blubbered about my blubber, he told me he thought I was as thin as I had ever been. Then I yelled at him for not wearing his Prada glasses he spent a fortune on last year. The guy is blind as a bat.

Sidenote 2: I don't often have pity parties, the catering is outrageous, but I'm allowing myself one today. I have been working my ass off and I am tired and grumpy. Harumph. One of my packages from Amazon better come today. Mommy needs cheering up.

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".
