Weekly Wrap Up

This was a long week but a good one. Tonight I am heading out for dinner with a friend and then heading to the Vienna Expats 10 year anniversary party at the Golden Harp. Vienna Expats was a lifeline for me so many years ago and I got to meet so many great people! It is also crazy to think that almost exactly a year ago, I had my birthday party in the same place. This year I am pretty sure I won't be recreating the shower/chair Flashdance scene. Cringe. But, hey, you never know.


So this was my week:

Number of early morning walks: 6 (yes! Feels so good to be doing this regularly again!)
Bikram sessions: 1 (last Sunday and I hope to go again tomorrow)
Being yelled at by a constipated child: 5
Number of book chapters completed: 1.5
Beautiful e-mails and pm's from people reading my blog: 5 (thank you, compliments are everything)
Times I have wondered why my make up brushes are wet: 3
Finding out that the Kid licks my make up brushes: 1
Moving make up brushes to higher spot: 1
Times I have laughed out loud: Too many to count
Dinners out at a fab Mexican restaurant: 1
Getting a new fabulous cut and colour: 0 (so bummed but another appointment on the 20th)
Visit's to the Kid's new therapist: 1 and she suggested just 30 minutes a session for now. The power of kvetch is strong in him.
Times I had a hissy fit while waiting for the 13A to take the Kid back to daycare after the therapy session and a stupid garbage truck was idling for so EFFING LONG!: 1
Making reservations at my favourite Georgian restaurant for the Husband's bday next Friday: 1
Times I have been an effective mother and have used firm but loving language to discipline the Kid: Hahahaha. I'm weak.
Kisses given to the Kid: A bazillion
Number of times I have counted my lucky stars: Over and over again
Watched re-runs of Southern Charm season 1 to gear up for season 2: 4
Number of times the Husband has probably thought about leaving my sorry ass: After the bus hissy fit? Probably a couple of times.

It was a good week but I am happy that it is the weekend. Just got back from a long and awesome walk with my friend. We did the walk I did last week - the I LOVE THIS CITY SO FREAKING MUCH walk - and it was fabulous. Nothing like Baroque buildings at 6:45 in the morning. It looks like the sun is coming up and that is will be a mild March day! So happy Saturday and catch you on the flipside!

Dressing your Pear Shaped Figure

Image
Welcome to today's class on pear shapes. Yesterday I talked about hourglass figures and today is the "Pear". Yay!!! To find out if you are pear-shaped, follow me! Like what I wrote yesterday, grab a pencil and piece of paper and measuring tape. Measure your ta tas, waist and hips. Then draw out the lines on a piece of paper (i.e. if your measurement is 90, draw a 9 centimeter line, etc.) If your drawing looks like this, you're a Pear shape! Mazel Tov! Ta tas:           ________________ Waist:               ____________ Hips:      ________________________ Your hips should be the widest part of your body and your waist, the smallest. Unlike an hourglass, you are more bottom heavy (not equally split). The advantage of being pear shaped is a defined waist and smaller top which means you can wear fun tops and belts at the waist and all the things that I can't wear! Boo. Celebrities with pear shapes a...

The Kid's Birthday Party and Holding it Together the Best I Can

Image
Tomorrow is the big day, the big show. The Kid is having his 4th birthday party. His actual birthday isn't until Tuesday but that day is the Fasching Party at the kindergarten. Fasching is the Austro/German carnival and it kind of sucks that Fasching sounds so like Fascist. Whooops. Adults and kids dress up on Fat Tuesday and eat jelly doughnuts in preparation for lent. Or, as I like to call it, sucks to be you. Us Jews just have to fast for a day. Holla! Winning! Sigh. Anyway... tomorrow is a big day for me. Even though it really is a big day for the Kid... but the truth of the matter is, is that he could not care less about a party. Or, at least, we don't think he does. As most of you know, he has lost his language this past year and it is heart breaking but I keep hope eternal that it will come back. I think he did say "Mommy" today when a commercial for the Victoria's Secret fashion show was on but the camera was on Ed Sheeran... so... actually... he proba...

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...
