The Week Ahead

Monday night, it is rainy, it is cozy and I still love Fall. Even though I am schwitzing. I want to wish you all a Happy Jewish New Year! Appletinis for everybody! I met a friend earlier for a quick drink. The wine totally had apple tones. This week ahead is a mixture of fun and work! Walk with me.

Tuesday: Tomorrow is a big deal appointment in the morning. The Husband and I have set up a meeting between the Kid's ABA therapist and another therapist we met recently. This meeting is costing us a fortune but the idea is that the 4 of us can come up with a therapy plan for the next few months. It is daunting but we have to do it. We have 2 years until regular school and I am determined that we will get him speaking by then. Think it and make it so. I am tenacious and I don't give up so I will do this. Well, the Kid will do this, but it will be a struggle. My ultimate dream would be to be able to work from home (and make enough money) so that I can spend more time with the Kid. This is what I am working towards and I will not give up. Watch this space. Rah rah! DETERMINATION! Then I will head to work and then in the afternoon I have a meeting in regards to another little project that I am starting and then in the evening I am meeting a friend at a place in my hood.

Wednesday: I have to finally pick up my Austrian visa. I went this morning but the line was too long and I ended up giving up, so hopefully I will have more luck on Wednesday. I also have to work later and then I might be meeting friends for dinner.

Thursday: I hope to get a spinning class in and then the Husband is going out so I will have some alone time which means I will most likely watch something Halloweeny. Speaking of which, I need to start all my scary movie watching. I have already watched Practical Magic this year (I love this film and watch it every.single.fall) And soon I will have a blog post about all the films I watch to get in the mood for all Hallow's Eve. 

Friday: I will bring the Kid to therapy, then to kindergarten and then head to work. And then in the afternoon I will finally be seeing my pictures from the photoshoot I did the other month. I am ridiculously nervous because I literally hate seeing pictures of myself but I am kind of excited too. After the self-loathing, I will set the table because friends are coming by for a simple dinner and for, of course, wine. 

Saturday: In the morning I will have yet another spin class and then the Husband will take the Kid to the In Laws for the night. We are taking full advantage of them being in town and most likely we will spend Saturday vacuuming, catching a film, going out for dinner and then passing out at 8. We need our sleep. 

It will be yet another busy week but as most of you know, I live for busy! Stay tuned for more irreverent Fall bucket list pictures and a recap of a Halloweeny film! Happy Monday!

    You can earn $20 for filling a 20 minute survey!

    Guess what? This is exactly what large companies are paying for. They need to know what their customer base needs and wants. So big companies pay $1,000,000's of dollars each month to the average person. In return, the average person, myself included, answers some questions and gives them their opinion.

A Key Word Post

Image
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

Image
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".
