The Big Day (1 of many to come) and What I Bought The Husband

Last night I wrapped and I wrapped. And the Kid and I coughed and coughed. I have a cold but it isn't too bad, yet. The Kid is home today but when I get back from work tonight, I'm bundling him up and we are heading to our first session to get him "diagnosed". I will just be happy to have all this behind us. It is exhausting and heart wrenching. Me no likey!

So that is what's happening today. But enough of that! Here's what I have bought the Husband for Christmas and since he doesn't read this blog, I feel safe writing it out here. Men are often hard to shop for unless they have a hobby. The Husband's hobby is me so I have to think long and hard about what to get him. So here it is (and I might get a couple of more things over the weekend):

Men's shirt
Socks (he loves socks)
Gloves that can be used on a smart phone
Big Bass Fishing Wii game
A Wii virtual fishing rod thingy
2 Bear Grylls DVD's
A tablet (not a fancy schmancy one - not until he shows me that he will actually use it)

I think I will be getting him a new radio as well. His favourite gift is the one where I don't spend money... too bad, buddy boy, that's not how I roll.

I can't wait for the big day! Woot!

Are you still searching for a perfect gift for someone? Drop me a line and I'll help you out!

And before I forget, I made the mistake of looking at the White House Christmas decorations and got all angsty that our place didn't scream CHRISTMAS enough so I went a little wild with the decorations over the weekend. Here's one thing I made. Game on, Michelle, game on.

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".
