Random Saturday Musings and Autumn Equinox

Woke up early to give myself a little me-time. Going to be a chilled weekend; some Halloween shopping and a little window shopping (need to buy new boots, currently in the scouting stage). There will be Fall walks and cozy sweaters and hopefully a non-tantruming child. It has been a week of random freak outs on his part and I hope it just a phase... sigh. must.break.his.spirit

Today I will be buying knee-high socks at a store name Tchibo (if you live in Austria or Germany, you should learn to respect the awesomeness of Tchibo/Eduscho). I love knee high socks. I feel all Cher Horowitz when I wear them. And then I look in the mirror and think I "could be a farmer in those clothes" (I loved you Brittany Murphy!!!) Anyway...

It is that awesome time of month where my hormones hold me hostage and pants with buttons seem like an epic challenge. Even though I know when the time is coming, I am also fairly suprised. Two days before, I act like a wreck, switching between the HAPPIEST PERSON ON EARTH!!! to I AM SO ANGRY ABOUT EVERYTHING!!! The Husband will ask me to pass the salt and I'll respond with "Well, I think you should sleep on the sofa tonight!" And in the midst of it, I won't even realize it. It is only until a couple of days later that I go "oooooh... Now I get it... ooops! Soowwrrry!" as the Husband rocks back and forth holding himself in the corner. Good times.

Today is the Autumn Equinox - a changing of the seasons, the end of summer, the promise of good things - or in my book - the time to bring out the Uggs and celebrate the first official day of Fall. Buh bye razor! See you in the Spring or maybe before. Depends on if the Husband embraces the furry look. But I digress. Since it is the Autumn Equinox, I bought some dried sage to burn in our apartment. I figure a little cleansing of our living space might be just what the doctor ordered. Of course, this could lead to the Husband thinking I have lost my ever loving mind and will proceed to spray me down with Holy Water while exclaiming "Satan release!!!", which could, actually, make for a very interesting Saturday night. Maybe I should bring out that razor...

My three-four crafts to complete this weekend are:
-finish Halloween dishtowels
-cut out dozens and dozens of bats
-make old fashioned Halloween paintings with printouts and shellac (mommy gonna get high)
-cut out Marth Stewart template mice

Let the fun begin!!! Happy Saturday!

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".

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
