Friday Wrap-Up

What up, Friday? Yay! It is going to be a busy long weekend once I leave work today. My parental units are flying in tonight for a weekend visit so that will be a lot of fun. And one of my oldest and dearest friends is in town so I will see her this afternoon! Yay! Saturday night I am going out with the parental units at a Georgian restaurant and then on Sunday morning we are having a Father's Day brunch. On Monday we are having friends over for another brunch. I am a bruncher and I love it. Will just have to be careful to not eat my weight in croissants and get blotto off of mimosas.

So this week's stats are:

Jalking 40 minutes: 5 times
Healthiesh meals: I was very very good
Pounds lost: None but that is ok
Times I looked at Bikram Yoga Google Images and wanted to vomit in fear: Countless
Times the daycare complained about the Kid not liking his new slippers or not eating: 4
Hours the Kid spent running around the park: approximately 15
Episodes of Melrose Place watched: 4
Sports bra purchased for next week's Bikram Yoga session: 1
Urge to rip out hair due to the daycare: Often
Thoughts about getting a cute haircut: Countless
Times I counted my blessings: Non-stop (because I am lucky)

All in all, a decent week.

The Husband has just texted me, seems like the Kid has a bad cough and so the Husband has to pick him up from daycare. He was also told  that the director of the kindergarten wants to meet with him next Wednesday to talk about the Kid. We are supposed to be there for another 3 months part time but who knows what they are going to throw at us this time. This week they complained that he doesn't like his new slippers. I shrugged. They obviously have never seen me break in new flip flops. It's like Stigmata. And I too have a temper tantrum. So, apparently the Kid is being difficult again. Well, yes, we have established that. That is why you are kicking him out. Cannot take it anymore! God give me strength. 43 more days to go... unless, they like, kick him out next week then I will be all Greek widow. But this time in a fabulous apartment.

Anyway, in better news, the Operation Tubetop Give Away is ending in about 4 hours! Woot! Over the weekend, the Kid will pick a piece of paper with a name on it and the winner will be announced! I'm crossing my fingers for you all so stay tuned.

I wish you all a fabulous weekend wherever you are! And if you are in Vienna, enjoy the heat - it is going to get hot out this weekend!

A Key Word Post

Image
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
