Saturday Musings

It's the day of the ball! It is early Saturday morning and in a little while I will be meeting a friend for our now traditional early Saturday morning walk. The Kid woke up way too early so I changed his diaper and tossed him into bed with the Husband. They are going to need their sleep because, wait for it, we are looking at an apartment today!!!!
This is by far the creepiest real estate stock photo I can find. You are welcome.
I won't go into details but I am pretty freaking excited that we are actually going to see a real live apartment. A place with two real bedrooms! Woot! As I have mentioned countless times, I am getting a little done with the current place we live in - I hate whispering every night and sitting in the dark or unable to have friends over past the Kid's bedtime. When he was a baby it was not a problem because he slept through my ear-piercing-the-Nanny-like voice... now, not so much.

So we will see how this visit goes. Fingers crossed that the Husband likes it too otherwise you might see me on the news. Awesome.

Moving on, today is the ball. The big show. The night when dreams come true. Or the night that the babysitter stays longer than usual and I get blisters on my feet and get slightly sloshed and need to spend my Sunday training the Kid to use his "inside voice". Yay! Anyway, my dress is done. I finished it last night and I am pretty happy with it. I will be extremely comfortable because in the end, I am just going to be wearing an oversized t-shirt like creation. Yes! I have made jersey a luxury fabric. I have! Trademarking that shit right now.
HOW HAVE YOU NOT AGED MR. BACON? HOW?!?!

I will post pictures of it later. I just have to purchase a new bra today (most likely it will be a tramautic experience (going to Palmers) so stay tuned for that post) and plan what hairstyle I am going to rock tonight. I am thinking big and 60s because the BIGGER THE HAIR, THE SMALLER THE WAIST. Amen.

STAY TUNED!!!

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".
