Friday Wrap-Up

We were supposed to go on our date night tonight. The Mother in Law was going to take the Kid for the night and the Husband and I were going to hit the Rathaus to buy ornaments and then go to the casino to make lots of money. But she is feeling under the weather so we will do it tomorrow night. I was pretty pumped to go this evening but after I made sure the Husband knew I was disappointed, I realized that it is probably better to go tomorrow. Plus, I was able to rope him in to watching National Lampoons Christmas Vacation tonight! One of my all-time Christmas films. Sparky!

Tomorrow is probably better for our date night because that will give me the opportunity to shave and wear cuter shoes. Plus, I am pretty tired after this busy week. Here are the week's stats:

Gym visits: 4 (I was going to go this morning but sitting on my sofa reading about the Kardashians wrapped in a fake fur throw seemed like a better idea)
Pounds lost: 1.5 (frustrated but still feeling motivated)
Play readings attended: 1 (it was great!)
Wine consumed: blah blah blah
Office parties attended: 1 (I stayed for a couple of hours and then headed home)
Dreams about carbs: Too many to count (I have been so so so very good)
Daycare complaints: 1 (getting real tired of this)
Times I was told the Kid might be autistic: 0 (I like this stat a lot)
Times I thought to myself how blessed I really am: Too many to count
Bottles of olive oil received from the Nanny who makes it at her vacation house in Greece: 1 (and it is the best damn olive oil in the whole entire world. And yes, our nanny has a vacation house in Greece.)
Plans to win big at the casino: Bazillion plans! Bazillion!

And so, in just a few hours, I will be home and snuggling the Kid and drinking some wine and planning what to do with all the money we win tomorrow. Happy Friday!

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".
