August Goals

I cannot believe it is already August. This summer is flying by. THIS YEAR IS FLYING BY. I need to get back on track with everything: home fixes, weight loss, exercise, fun, experimentation, etc. Well, exercise has been still pretty good so I can pat myself on my back for that one. Pat. Pat. Pitt.
On Monday I made a vow that I'd stick to clean eating, no booze, no bread, no sugar, no cheese etc. Ha. I lasted a day. But yesterday I was back on track, but with some cheese. I have noticed that when I let heavily refined carbs into my life, I let le bloat and le indigestion in as well. I think I might have a problem with white bread and I know that I have mentioned it before and yet I keep letting it be my master. 50 Shades of Wheat and Wheat By-products. New bestseller. Trademark. So I am just cutting out bad carbs and sugar for a while and will see how my stomach fares. It has been only a day and I already feel less bloaty and bitchy. I also overslept this morning so I did catch up on some zzzzzz's. Holla.

So, before I go off another tangent, I will outline some of my goals for this upcoming month:

Avoid the wheat at all costs. Well, a slice of pizza here and there will not be punished.

 Finish organizing the kitchen. I have to buy a bookshelf for the kitchen so that the counter isn't constantly covered in crap. It is driving me nutso everyday. And nutso mommy is not a good mommy.

 Continue to hit up Bikram at least once or twice a week. 

 Walks at least 5 times a week.

 Back to the Dinner Inspired by a Film challenge. 

 A weekend away with the Husband (I hope this happens)

 Starting Halloween crafts because new apartment means new theme means new crafts means SO MANY THINGS TO DO!

Hello August, you are going to be busy. Also, on the 14th, I am flying to Switzerland and then taking a train to Germany (European borders, you are drunk, go home) so that I can attend my dear friend's husband's funeral. I will be gone for 2 nights and luckily the nanny and the in laws will be back so it won't be too much of a struggle with the Kid. With a few days off here and there and lots to do, it is time to enjoy the last month of summer. Happy 1st of August!

Take plane to one country, to take train to other country beside country of origin.

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...
