Randomness and This Week's Menu

Last night the Husband and I had a nice quiet dinner at the table. We had put the Kid to bed like we usually do and looked forward to watching the Millionen show. We are wild! About an hour after bedtime the Kid shouted for me... His call of distress goes "MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY (pause) Daddy?" so I went in and he roped me into a diaper change. After changing him, he saw his chance to escape and clung to me like syphillis to a wh... oh you know what I mean. Anyway, I let him sit on the sofa to watch a 27 year old student win a million euros. Then we tried to bring him back to his crib. "NEIN". Then he came to our bed for a few minutes but changed up his mind and decided to run around the apartment in the dark. Nothing is scarier than not knowing where your toddler is hiding in the dark. It was like a scene from Chucky. Jerk even pulled the chord on his musical bear so that creepy music could be my soundtrack as I walked around like Clarice a la Silence of the Lambs final scene. All I could think as I walked through the dark was "Well shit, he's possessed and I'm going to be murdered".

I finally found him and brought him back to our bed where he stayed for another 20 minutes and then finally the Husband (the heavy) brought him to his crib and that was that.

Yesterday was super fantastic - the Just Say Jenn comments were amazing and I am so happy I got the chance to be featured! I received about 190 views yesterday versus the average of 90 views so that made me very happy!

Another thing to be happy about is that I am down 2.5 pounds! I know I know, water weight... but whatevs, still happy! And this week's dinner menu is:

Monday: Onion pie
Tuesday: Ribs and a salad (taking a friend out for her bday!)
Wednesday: Low carb chicken soup and green beans
Thursday: Bunless burgers and salad
Friday: Fajita chicken salad
Saturday: Veg and roast chicken (going to a friend's)
Sunday: Low carb lasagna

So wish me luck! Time to get dressed up in non-flattering lycra and hit the gym!

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". Salma Hayek naked : I have abso...

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...
