Party Prep


Today's the day of the party! I haven't had a chance to really get excited about it yet but hopefully sometime between shaving my legs and putting in hair curlers, I will get the partay fever. I will get to the venue early so that I can set up a little and a friend is meeting me there to help. She made cupcakes for my party and I am so excited!! Pink champagne cupcakes! I heart I heart!

The party is at an Irish bar in the 3rd district and I was able to book the whole downstairs. And, because I get twitchy if I can't host a little, I ordered some platters of fries, wedges and mozarella sticks. Please someone remind me to take a picture of this because I want to show the world what 100 euros worth of fried food looks like. Dream big, Tova, dream big.

My friend's husband has made a playlist and I am looking forward to getting my crazy uncle wedding dancing on - you know, the combination of jazz hands and ass slapping (self ass slapping). I think there will be over 30 people attending tonight which warms my heart. And I would like to note that today's high will be about 8 degrees celsius which is by far one of the warmest birthday party days I have ever ever had.
I will be seeing you kids, tonight. Oh yeah.

I was supposed to go out last night but I was exhausted after the craziness of this week. Tonight I will be able to just unload so if you see me under or on a table, you know that I am having a good time. Last night I caught some of the opening ceremony and it was great! I love the Olympics (I hate what it has become; corrupt and all about the money) because of the athletes. These folks have worked their whole lives to this event and it warms my cold cold heart to see their faces light up. It is special. Two years ago the Husband and I were struck down with a terrible flu during the summer. We would pick straws who would take the Kid to daycare. Then we would lie down on opposite sofas and die. The summer Olympics was on and every once in a while one of us would mumble "Rowing is on" or "Shotput". It was kind of special in a feverish way.

The sun is out and I need to do a little cleaning and a little laundry and a little shaving and get ready for the big night. I wish you all an awesome Saturday and if I am seeing you tonight, I apologize in advance, I may be a little drunk and fabulous!

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

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".
