Friday Wrap Up

This week FLEW BY! And it was super busy. I know that I ate a lot of meat on Monday night, Tuesday I had a quiet night at home, Wednesday I worked a long day and then went to an art show, Thursday was at home and now we are at Friday. It is going to be a hot and sunny weekend and I cannot wait!

After work today I am heading to the Adria to discuss the fundraiser. Then I will stop at the Esterhazy street festival for a little bit. Then a quick drink with a friend who brought me back something from Canada because he is so sweet (squeal!!) and then home for a relaxing evening.

In other news: last night I acted like a brat. It all started like this:

The Husband: Dear, my mother found a place that maybe we could go to for a holiday.
Me: [Silence]
The Husband: Just the three of us!
Me: Ooooo.kaaaay?
The Husband: It's not far from Vienna. And they provide childcare.
Me: Mmmhmm.
The Husband: It's a farm.
Me: WHAT?!

And then it went downhill from there. Now a weekend at a farm: no problem. A week on a farm? Kill me. Now, don't get all judgey and up in my grill about this. I like nature. I like animals. I just don't want to live with animals... for a week... I'm a city girl. I can also do villages. Preferably villages with a pizzeria and a place that sells wine. Maybe on the water.

So I just found out about a place on Lake Como and I am still waiting for details about the place. But it sounds absolutely perfect. I excitedly wrote the Husband all the details and I have been humming every Italian song I know (the national anthem because, Ferrari). I am picturing myself in a sundress and sunhat and pulling into a beautiful Italian town yelling "Eh! Buongiorno! Come Stai?", the Kid running around and eating gelato. Bliss.

The Husband just wrote back and is not on board with this trip so I am in a snit and being a brat again. I suggested we take an overnight train ride to Milan and then rent a car, but he doesn't like driving in Italy. I understand but I am pouting. It has been over two years since we have had a family holiday and I am desperate to go somewhere beautiful. I am totally having a pity party for myself. Y'all can come... especially if you can convince the Husband that this would be a great holiday. Not the farm holiday... the Como holiday.

So stay tuned for what happens next. Brace yourselves....

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".

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
