Happy Friday!

Oh wow! My socialite weekend is about to begin! A ball tonight and a fundraiser on Sunday... living the dream! I will be wiped by the end of all of this and that is just a-ok! Yesterday I had to stay home - the Kid has not been sleeping well at.all. He has had some digestive issues and I think it is affecting his sleep. And also, he might just like to screw with us. Funny enough, a friend just wrote an article for the New York Post about a new book about diet and autism and how it can be interlinked. I have been toying with the idea of going dairy and gluten-free in our house for a while now and I guess it doesn't hurt to try. I guess that is my next project! Stay tuned to see whether the Kid declares mutiny, while placing my head on a pike as a warning to all other mothers who threaten to throw out their child's bagel chips.

In other news, the fundraiser is WILD! I cannot believe all of the donations of prizes I have received and how people have been buying tickets even though they cannot come on the day. AMAZING! I have some wrapping still to do, I need to cut out 70 plus drink ticket thingies, write notes for a speech, sell a few more raffle tickets and try not to hyperventilate. So excited and yet so nervous!!


The Ball. Tonight is the Concordia Ball which is the journalism ball which of course I am going to because 2 weeks spent tweeting about Euro-pop does me a serious journalist make. Heh. Please note the sarcasm. I am as much a journalist as Kim Kardashian is a poet laureate. I am so excited to see what the Rathaus looks like all done up for a ball. I also am curious how a summer ball is different from a winter ball and I wonder if I will be able to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning - half cut and in a ball gown. Classy.

This morning we have an appointment with the Kid's therapist. We have had 11 sessions of ABA therapy and we have to discuss the next steps. We are definitely continuing with the therapy because we have seen him make such great strides. Looking forward to the meeting because unlike other meetings, I think this one will be positive.

It is going to be a hectic day; after the meeting I am meeting an old friend and her bebe for some coffee, then I am meeting someone to sell tickets to and then running to the next location to sell even more tickets and then having  lunch and then meeting one more person after that. I will head home and start to get ready for a ball and a friend will come by and we will get ready together. Then it is off to a French restaurant and then the ball and right now my life is pretty damn fabulous!!!! Happy Friday!!

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...
