Mission Impossible.. not bad, actually

So yesterday the Mother in Law took the Kid for the night. It was an awesome thing to do and it gave the Husband and I a chance to watch a film. We decided on Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation for the sole reason that part of the film was filmed in Vienna and that is just awesome. There is definitely a sense of pride I feel for my adoptive country when it is shown in a positive light.

We met for a drink before the film and I kept fanning myself, annoyed at this non-stop heatwave. The Husband was like "Gosh, I hope it isn't too cold in the theater." Activate death stare. We bought some popcorn and took our seats. Previews are my favourite thing ever. I kept saying "Oooh, want to watch that." or "Oh GOD NO! NEVER!"  The film started and I was hooked. It was fun and wild and hats off to Tom Cruise for obviously bathing in virgin blood. Say what you will about the Tom and his religious persuasion, but the man is impressive. I also can't believe the stunts that he did and bravo to him for choosing the female lead. Holy crap. AMAZING! A female lead in her 30's?!?! Why, that is madness! I kept thinking how much she looked like Ingird Bergman and when I went home and googled her, I found out she is Swedish. You make pretty people, Sweden. It was a fast-paced film and both the Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And the opera house looked great. I act like I built the damn place. And I yes, I was attracted to the bad bad creepy villain. I can't help it. I like the creep factor. I am ashamed.

The only crap thing about last night was that the film blacked out three times. I was not amused. Otherwise it was a great time. We stopped at Swing Kitchen for a later dinner and then headed home for a good night sleep. I woke up at 6 and the Husband was like "I thought you were going to sleep in!" and I was like "I did!" but then at 7:00, I opened up all the windows (finally a breeze!) and slept for another couple of hours. Bliss. I am back from Spin Class (what an insane workout. Love.it) and the Husband is bringing the Kid back. The rest of the weekend will be chill and we will be cleaning, crafting and watching the TV. Hurrah for quiet weekends! HURRAH, I say!

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...
