Screens and Things

Yay! Friday! Yay! A very much needed day. Just two more weekends in our place and then onto the 4th district. Cray cray. This weekend will be filled with organizing and throwing stuff out and of course, stocking up on clean and healthy foods.

For the weekend, I am hoping to mix Greek yoghurt with muesli and berries for breakfast, smoothies for lunch and some righteous veggie wraps for dinner. Our fridge is going to look like a normal healthy person's fridge and not like a frat house fridge. Yay! Maturity. Tonight I am making a flatbread pizza with buffalo mozzarella, roasted peppers and onions and some spicy pesto... with no wine. No wine at all. Sob.

It has been once again a crazy week and I am looking forward to some downtime in May. Just a few weeks to go and then all will be right in the world. Kind of. I showed our nanny the place last night and she seemed to really like it which means happiness all around. Right? Right.

On to another topic, my necklace racks arrived today so that is great. I will have a jewelry stand in the bedroom and I will be all organized and stuff. On the other side of the room, as I mentioned, I put up some hanging racks in the corner and hid said racks with some screens. Please refer to pictures below. This is what happens when I don't get a wall. I give these screens a week until the Kid decides to go Kamikaze on them.
Like the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. But with no door, or lion or thinly veiled references to biblical events.

They are so big. I almost was killed by one. For reals.
Over the weekend, I will bring my summer clothes over and hang them up to get a better idea of how much crap I can fit behind the screens. At this point, I have no idea.

So that's just a mini update of what is happening, yo. And by the way... no booze, day 3.

    Go to the 22nd Stadlau, they got two large BauMax, large OBI, Hornbach, Ikea, Mobelix and Dehner all v. close to each other and much bigger than the one in Simmering, better if you have a car, although I did all my purchases by numerous and precarious bike rides and public transport back in the day. Just avoid Saturdays. Textil Müller in Kritzendorf is your cheapie fabric warehouse place to go, a single extra train ticket from FJB if you already have a WL pass to the Grenze although they also have a smaller shop, filled to the gunnels on the Karmeliter markt. There’s a place in Neustiftgasse that sells off chandelier glass components, I’ll try to remember where. Brookie

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". Salma Hayek naked : I have abso
