A Bikini Challenge

I originally started this blog as an online diary about turning myself into a Real Housewife- blonde, tan, thin - and then it evolved into something else and I love it. It has been a great outlet for me and it continues to be fun. I love the private and public messages I have received and I love seeing that I get more and more views as the months pass. It's a mish mash of different things - parenting, crafts, fashion, party planning, random thoughts and everything in between. Now that I feel like I am slowly getting my life back in order, I find that I have more time to focus on my original goal of getting fit. I may not need to turn myself into a Real Housewife, because honestly, that franchise is now dead to me. I just want to not avoid pictures anymore. I want to fit back into my fabulous clothes and I want to be a role model to myself. The past couple of weeks have been pretty amazing in terms of eating right and working out and I really want to continue this trend. So, (and I reserve the right to not follow through because I'm the boss of me) I am going to post a bikini/pin-up (bathing suit and a cute cover up and using vaseline on the lens) picture by June 1st.

That means that I have about 4 and a half months to lose about 25 pounds and re-discover a razor. I don't think it is a crazy goal but it won't be a walk in the park either. I feel that by posting this, I will have even more incentive to continue on with the eating of the good food and the working out. Oh God. What have I done? I need youse guys to keep me motivated. And if you want to join me, please please do! When I feel I have reached goal, I am going to get some pictures done to celebrate and will post them here. Then I will sit in front of my laptop with one eye closed and cringing, waiting for the comments.

So there you have it. A stupid and superficial challenge that I am really looking forward to. A poor man's Valerie Bertinelli, if you will. Who's with me?! Bueller? Bueller?

Disclaimer: I may or may not need to hire Kim Kardashian's Photoshop guru for the photoshoot. Again, I'm the boss of me.

A Key Word Post

Image
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

A Tova Movie Re-cap: Bram Stoker's Dracula

You all like that I am reviewing films that are over 20 years old, right? I'm like Grandpa Simpson. Today's post is a re-cap of one of my all time favourite Halloween movies EVER. And it isn't just a Halloween movie.. it is so much more. It is Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. I remember exactly when I saw this film for the first time. We were at my Godmother's cottage in Quebec and my parents and I and my brother headed to the video store. I stood in front of this VHS cover and stared and stared (that's how I would let my parents know I wanted something back in the day. I was not allowed to beg for toys so in my brilliant infantile wisdom, I concocted a full proof plan. I would stand in front of a toy (probably a My Little Pony) and stare and stare and stare. I was subtle. I still do this today at jewelry stores.) I was 12 years old at the time and had graduated from being fascinated with witches to vampires. Puberty, guys. I was OBSESSED wi

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".
