The Guy Outside the Gym

This morning we were supposed to have our meeting with the daycare. Unfortunately the woman we were supposed to meet with is dealing with her mother dying. I feel really terrible for her. I will make cupcakes and a card for her. When someone is dealing with something at that level, your own problems seem pretty petty in comparison. So my public service announcement today is: love thy people in your life. If you find yourself hating someone, stop. It isn't worth it. I don't really hate anyone, it is exhausting. The end.

In other news, I went to the gym this morning. For the last couple of months, on random days, a guy stands outside of the gym smoking. He is Chinese, usually wears jeans and a windbreaker and just stands there staring out at the street. He never looks at me when I exit. Well, this morning, the guy was wearing a suit. I mean a really really nice suit. Perfectly tailored, polished shoes. Has he been promoted in his street watching? I am intrigued. And I am now going to spend the next months obsessed about this guy. Gah!

Tonight the Husband has a company event so that means Mommy gonna do some gel nails, watch some TV and work on things that involve shellac. Yay! Home alone! I have all these plans but most likely I will pass out at 9:30. I live on the wild side.

After work I have to run to the dollar (euro) store to spend a lot of money (euro store lies, only a couple of things are a euro. Liars!!! I'm sorry, I love you. Don't leave me). I can't wait to see the Kid this evening while we chill and watch Diego and talk about fiscal responsibility, as on does. He's been pretty awesome the last few days so that is a relief but of course, there could be a tantrum just around the corner. It's like living with a faulty grenade, an adorable faulty grenade.

My goals for this week:
Gym at least 4 times
Staying true to da low carb
Complete many many many decorations
Go out with a friend
Come up with the Kid's costume. Think I've made up my mind.
Lose more weight so I can wear something slutty at my Halloween party
Figure out what the guy outside the gym is up to

Happy Tuesday!

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
