You Guys! Thank You! No, Thank You!

You guuuuys... Thank you so very much for all the sharing of yesterday's blog post and for all the awesome comments. I even received a lovely pm from an old friend. I got to say, I was really touched. And 194 page views?!?! Lordy! I do declare!

I feel this meme sums up how I feel today...

Last night I told the Husband about how many views my post got and he was like "The tube tube project?" and I was like "yes." He doesn't read my blog which is a-ok with me. I told him that I wrote about third culture kids and he was like "doesn't really apply to me." And then I was all like "What are you talking about?! You were born in Kenya, white boy!" and then I told him about what I wrote in terms of third culture kid "tics" and he was like "hmm, not really." And then I was all like "Two months ago we spent an evening trying to remember our drivers' names!!!" And then he got quiet.

In other news, it is FRIDAY! I am so excited. This week has really flown by and I have been sticking to magic muffins during the day and having healthy awesome dinners at night. I also went to the gym every morning this week and I do feel pretty awesome. Except for my arms. They hurt. I did a weight lifting thing butterfly move and I kind of walk like Molly Shannon and Raquel Welch from that Seinfeld episode now. The pain.


This weekend is the first weekend after 2 weekends that I don't have a big.event.to.attend. I am really looking forward to a beautiful fall weekend with the Kid and Husband and I think I'll be meeting up with an old Moscow/University buddy so that is awesome, too. Tonight the Husband is out watching football so I will be doing gel nails, watching something spooky (has to be a film I have watched many times before so I can put it on mute when it gets scary) and enjoy some wine. Bless. A perfect evening.

HAPPY FRIDAY! And thank you for reading, it means a lot!

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
