A Little Bargain Shopping Spree

I had a nice birthday and was touched by all the birthday wishes, thank you! So then, I decided to further spoil myself and do a little shopping after work. I am not always in the mood to shop (shocking) but when the mood does hit, watch out, I will Oprah myself - a pair for me, a pair for me. I went to one of my favourite cheapy stores and within 20 minutes had bought 3 pairs of shoes, 3 pairs of earrings and one statement necklace... all for 80 euros! Jackpot. I love a sale!

And so, here are my purchases (I took the pictures last night and after a couple of cocktails, I was no Terry Richardson or maybe I was... Boom!)

So, the first pair are sensible (boo) but will go with everything.. Like a Burberry trenchcoat. But those coats are expensive. These boots were not. Practical boots, sigh.



Then these are also practical and I am a sucker for a wedge shoe. Less chance of face-planting on cobblestones.

And these stole my heart. Faux-suede but so awesome. Heart heart.


I also spied these earrings and I love the colours! Of course I had to buy three pairs because they cost 1.50 each. BARGAIN!!!

And I couldn't leave the store without a new necklace. This is nice and chunky and I can't wait to wear it!

And so, that was my little shopping spree. I was a women possessed!

I have a lot to do the next few days. It is the Kid's bday party on Saturday and tonight I have to start decorating. The Husband said we could decorate on Saturday and I turned to him and said "Have we met?". Friday we have another therapist visit and then I will spend the evening making a bday cake. Stay tuned for a post about apple shaped figures (that's in the works!) and hosting a mini Mardi Gras party. Fun fun. Now off to 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

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".
