About Me

So I thought I would do a little list about me because I am vain. Also because while I am pretty much an open book in this blog, I sometimes think I might come across as: vapid, highly strung, interested only in reality TV and a poor man's Martha Stewart. While all  of those points in that list are true, there are other things about me that some of you might not know. And before you ask, yes, I was Janeane Garofolo in the 90's. So many of us were.

Places I have lived: Born in Ottawa, at 2 moved to Bucharest, at 5 moved to Düsseldorf, at 9 moved to Ottawa, at 12 moved to Vienna, at 16 moved to Moscow, at 18 moved to Toronto and at 23 moved back to Vienna.

Favourite food: Pizza (most of you know that...especially because I talk about it at least once a week).

Favourite alcoholic beverage: Red wine or white wine spritzer or Champagne/Sekt... and sometimes beer.

Favourite sports: love to watch tennis and Formula One (been a fan for almost 20 years), baseball...and pageants.


Favourite books: Lolita (read this one at least once a year), To Kill a Mockingbird (has been years since I have read this but die a little inside when I think about it), The Great Gatsby (Also liked the film from a couple of years ago (dry sobbed in the cinema)), any book by Jen Lancaster. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Favourite films: French Kiss, Under the Tuscan Sun, most James Bond films, the first 3 of Indiana Jones films, Mean Girls, Young Frankenstein, Practical Magic... so many more.

Personality traits: Sensitive, Outgoing, Not shy, I use humour as a defence mechanism, I easily forgive and move on after a short period, I give second chances, I might come on too strong, I laugh like a hyena. I love animals and people, I am confident in myself besides my looks. Never my looks. Good thing I have PERSONALITY! I can also make fun of myself.

Natural hair colour: No clue.

Weight: Ahahaha.

Eye colour: One blue one green and they would have burned me at the stake back in da day.

Height: 5 foot 2

Dream job: Writer. I've always wanted to be a writer and the idea of working from home to have more time with the Kid would be a dream. Or be a high priced escort... good hours.

Favourite holidays: First Halloween, second Christmas.

Favourite fashion house: Chanel

Disturbing celebrity crushes: Eric Roberts, Thomas Ravenel (I can't even defend this one), Johnathon Rhy Meyers.

Acceptable celebrity crushes: Paul Rudd, Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, George Clooney, Alan Rickman's voice.

Personal Motto: What would Martha Stewart do. AND, There are 24 hours in a day.

Personal goals: Learn to relax, stop stalking people on the Internet, finish book, learn to fold a fitted sheet, make a perfect pizza crust.

Biggest fears: Something happening to the people I love, sharks,

Favourite season: Loving summer but Fall is my favourite time of the year.

Things I hate: Cruelty, extreme anger, bigotry, people who are mean to kids.

Things I love: My family, my friends, my life, my new highlights, Vienna.

Dream holiday: Tuscan farmhouse with a pool and dough that rises properly.

The End.

    Just got my check for over $500.

    Sometimes people don't believe me when I tell them about how much money you can earn by taking paid surveys at home...

    So I took a video of myself actually getting paid $500 for taking paid surveys.

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...

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...
