Friday Wrap-Up

Well hi there Friday! How you doin? Finally after so many crappy weather weekends, this one is going to be hot hot hot. I have lots of plans that involve cocktails and sitting outside. Tonight I am hitting Summerstage at Rossauerlaende with a friend. Tomorrow I will do some shopping, visit the Cuban festival on our street and then make pizza with a friend at night at our place. On Sunday, I will try to get a session of Bikram in (it has been MONTHS!) and I will probably head to MQ for some mojitos and let the Kid go free range. Yay! I am so excited! It has felt like a long week but a good week. So here are the stats for this past week Sunday to today!

Number of 5K runs involving 33,000 women: 1
Number of mornings runs: 1.5 (ouch)
Nights out drinking sekt: 1
Quick drinks with a friend: 2
Ball dress purchased: 1 and I have to have it hemmed and taken in. Apparently I bought from the giant store.
Number of times I guffawed: Countless
Episodes of Columbo watched: 1
Return of awesome camera that I borrowed from my editor and then we tried out Soft Tacos across from the Badeschiff and stay tuned for that review on Vienna Wuerstelstand: 1
Number of times I cried happy tears: A couple
Times the Kid's teacher said she was proud of the Kid on the field trip on Wednesday: 1
Text messages received from the Husband so far today as he enjoys some alone time at Oberlaa, swimming, drinking beer and eating a burger: 3 (I will hurt him)
Kilos lost: Ahahaha. Stupid scale
Purchase of sunscreen that smells like coconut: 1
Purchase of Haviana flip flops: 1 pair and I love them so very very much
Internal mind memo to get back to writing my book: 12 (I really really really need to get on that)
Times spent mourning Eurovision: So many
Awesome people met: A couple
Talking to awesome new people and finding out they all love their jobs so very much and looking offended when I snorted thinking they were being sarcastic and then wanting a job that I love so very much and how does one get a job they love so very much?: 3
Time spent admiring my 3 week old highlights: A lot. I spend a lot of time. They are fantastic.
Finding out that in the original Sleeping Beauty, she was raped while she was sleeping and only woke up when giving birth: 1 (and say what?!)

Next week is going to be a busy one as well. I am going to Brickmaker's for the first time on Monday and on Wednesday, I am heading to an art exhibit. Next Saturday I am heading to a friend's place in Burgenland with the Kid for some cherry picking and a bbq. It will be a challenge getting there with the Kid but I feel a lot more confident about travelling with him. This will be his first time on a train in years and I have a feeling his mind will be blown.... in a good way.

Just a few more hours to go and then I will do a little shopping for the fundraiser and then I am meeting a friend at Summerstage at Pizza Riva. It will be the perfect end to the work week! Hope you all have a fantabulous weekend of sun and drinks and sleep!

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...
