Friday Wrap Up and a Great Low Carb Recipe

Oh praise da lord it is Friday! What an emotional week! Words cannot even describe how happy I am that the weekend is coming up! Woot woot!

Worst part of the week:
Well, you know, daycare issues... again
Getting a booster shot for the Kid

Best part of the week:
Watching a dear friend perform on stage, she did great!
Getting incredible love and feedback from so many people!
Losing 4 pounds!

Stats:
4 pounds lost
3 times at the gym

I have been low carbing for just over a week and I have lost 4 pounds. I feel pretty great in general and the weight loss helps. I thought that I would post the recipe I made last night... so good, like so so good.

Thai Curry Ground Beef

1 pound ground beef
Lemon grass
Thai lime leaf
Coconut milk (just a can)
Sesame oil (just a couple of drops)
Fish sauce (just a couple of drops)
Soy sauce (just a few dashes)
Crushed garlic
Thai red curry in the package
Half a cup of water

Brown the beef, then add all the above and let it simmer for about 45 minutes. I ate it as is but made rice for the Husband because he is not low carbing. It was delish! Go, go make it!

Anyway, this weekend will be pretty low key. I want to take a family walk in the Prater and see if the chestnuts are ready to picked and then I want to work on some crafts for Halloween and then I want to get my case ready to present on Tuesday to the daycare, because kids, this lady has had enough.

I hope you all have a wonderful Fall Friday! Enjoy your spiced lattes and cozy sweaters and be truly grateful for whatever you have. Be it a great partner, a great cat or even great boobs. Gratitude brings more good things in your life. Still waiting for my boobs to magically defy gravity... better be more grateful, then...

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

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".

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
