Operation Tubetop Giveaway!

Hello Monday! Mondays are hard and the Kid was home sick today. He is doing fine but has a hacking cough. Dropping him off at kindergarten today would have resulted in a phone call shortly thereafter and we would be the asshole parents, coming back to pick him up. I stayed home with him this morning until the Nanny came and then I headed to work and I was happy to see my friend S.R. back from her trip to Miami. She had an amazing time and even took a trip to the Everglades which she said was incredibly terrifying. Before she left, she had expressed some fears:

S.: What if I am eaten by an alligator? Or wait, are they crocodiles?
Me: No, alligators... Of that I am 100 per cent certain.
S.: How?
Me: Because Gatorade is from Florida and Gator- Alligator? See?
S.: (Deep sigh) Anyway, about me being eaten by alligators...
Me: Well, they don't eat you right away. The lock onto your leg or arm and pull you in  and then twist you in a death spiral until you stop thrashing. Then they stuff you under a log at the bottom of the river until you start decomposing and then they eat you!
S.: I don't even know what to say to you right now.


So it's good to have her back! Anyway, this post won't be a long one! Instead, it's a post to help me shamelessly self-promote this blog! And so, I am finally having another Operation Tubetop Giveaway! To be able to qualify, all you have to do is share the Operation Tubetop Facebook page on your Facebook wall. The easiest way to do that is to copy and paste the address of the official Operation Tubetop Facebook wall. Don't copy and paste this blog address.. save that for special occasions. Heh. Once you have awesomely shared the Facebook page, just write "Done" in the comment section on Facebook under this post. On Thursday I will put all the names in a bowl or bag or something and will pick 4 lucky winners! I am giving away 4 pieces that I made for the Beacon Beach House fundraiser. I will be selling the rest shortly but I have a lot and I want to share the turquoise goodness. If you have any questions, just let me know! Thanks for letting me feel like Oprah and thanks for reading! Good luck!

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...
