More About the Fundraiser

Gah! About a week and half to go! I am very very excited with how everything is coming together. But I have a lot to do still. This Friday I have a meeting at the Adria to talk numbers and drinks and layout. On Monday I am meeting a new friend to pick up her generous donation. Tomorrow I have to call the autism center to discuss what the event entails. I also have to pick up a few more gifts and make an informational flyer! And coordinate with donors to pick up their awesome donations. It is going to be a hectic time and I will love every minute of it. I live for stuff like this! I thought I would update you all on what is going to go down, yo'!

All of the money will go to the Dachverband Autistenhilfe which is a not-for-profit organization for autism in Vienna.

Dinner for two at Der Fuchs und Die Trauben: www.derfuchsunddietrauben.com/

Please please please RSVP by Monday June 15th! Danke!

A special thank you to all the donors who will be singled out at the event because you all deserve a round of applause and an extra free drink and my eternal gratitude. The list of donors will also be posted on the flier and the Facebook event page.

I cannot believe how generous people have been! It blows my mind! The value of all of the prizes reaches close to 1,000 euros so if you don't hear from me, I will be at the opera, with fabulous hair, smelling clean, reading a couple of books, after having had a fabulous dinner and all the while planning what to wear to a ball. Heh. I generally think people are awesome and seeing the list above just strengthens my belief even more.

Since the location will be indoors for a little bit: for the free drinks and raffle, I am hoping to keep the venue adults only for safety reasons. I will be wearing heels and I am clumsy and I don't want to step on anyone. However, there is a playground and sandy area outside of the Adria for kids or for the young at heart! If you have any more questions please drop me a line.

I CANNOT WAIT!

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

A Tova Movie Re-cap: Bram Stoker's Dracula

You all like that I am reviewing films that are over 20 years old, right? I'm like Grandpa Simpson. Today's post is a re-cap of one of my all time favourite Halloween movies EVER. And it isn't just a Halloween movie.. it is so much more. It is Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. I remember exactly when I saw this film for the first time. We were at my Godmother's cottage in Quebec and my parents and I and my brother headed to the video store. I stood in front of this VHS cover and stared and stared (that's how I would let my parents know I wanted something back in the day. I was not allowed to beg for toys so in my brilliant infantile wisdom, I concocted a full proof plan. I would stand in front of a toy (probably a My Little Pony) and stare and stare and stare. I was subtle. I still do this today at jewelry stores.) I was 12 years old at the time and had graduated from being fascinated with witches to vampires. Puberty, guys. I was OBSESSED wi

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".
