Friday Wrap-up

Wellity wellity wellity... This week was pretty good. Ok, a lot of it was overshadowed by anticipation for the appointment last night, but otherwise, a decent week. I am glad that the appointment is over and that I can look forward to an awesome weekend. The Kid will stay home again today (thank you jeebus for the mother in law! - she leaves for three months as of January, so Kid, you better stay healthy!). Tomorrow evening is our girls traditional annual Christmas which involves dinner, drinking a lot and exchanging gifts. Can't wait!

In other news, I hit the gym 5 times this week! Atta girl! Monday, Tuesday and Thursday I worked on the crosstrainer for 30 minutes and Tuesday I did 15 minutes on the bike and then for the other 15 minutes, did leg presses and arm butterfly thingies (official name). This morning I did 10 minutes on the bike, then the arm things, then leg presses, then the arm things again and then tried out a new machine for stomach muscles. I am always a little intimidated by trying new machines because the illustrations look like odd sex positions and I've been married for a long time and I have a headache. I'm also a little afraid that I'll be working on a machine and a gym employee will walk by and be like "Ma'am, that's an industrial vacuum cleaner".

So yes, this week was a success in terms of working out, eating well and attending our first session at the diagnosis centre. Yay!

And here are the week's stats:

Pounds lost: 4 (would have been more this morning but I ate super late last night)
Gym visits: 5
Loads of laundry: 3
Glasses of wine: Not too many
Presents wrapped: About 40
Crying from semi-relief: 4 times
Christmas films watched: 1
Times avoiding chocolate: A bazillion
Blog pageviews in a month: 2,156
"Published" on Just Say Jenn: 1
Times I've whined to the Husband: Do you love me as much as you loved me when we got maaaaaried?
Times the Husband has rolled his eyes: Countless
Receiving a very touching pm about my blog: 1
Support from friends and family: Infinity times infinity (thank you)
Christmas cards received: 3

And there we have it, a pretty good week, all in all.

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".

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
