BLEEEEEH!! I’ve gained 10 freakin pounds since I’ve been home! It’s all this delicious North American food that I missed so much. Toaster Strudels, Wendy’s, etc.. I never thought I’d say this but I’ll be so glad to get back to Holland to my stable diet of chicken and rice. Good grief! I mean ok I know I am not …

Still in Canada.. still having an awesome time. Tuesday night we went to see the Lipizzaner Stallions and they were as beautiful as I remember them. It was strange because there were so many empty seats! I don’t know if they didn’t advertise it well or if I’m just so biased and in love with horses that I couldn’t imagine …

Well the weekend is over and it was awesome! Friday night we went to my dad’s cousin Brenda’s place.. it was just the family and we had some pizza and a few drinks. Her daughter Leanne is a few years younger than me and got married while I was away (in August) so I missed it. We watched the video …

Well, nothing better than a good day of shopping to remind you how badly you need to diet! *groan* Yesterday me, mom and Xander went shopping at the Mayflower Mall and as much as I tried to convince myself that they are just making the sizes smaller.. I finally gave in and admitted that it was just my ass getting …

Yesterday was our 4th anniversary and it was such a great day. We got up and had a nice breakfast then we all hopped in the car and drove up to Baddeck. We just walked around and had a look in all the little craft/gift shops. Went for a drive around the bay. It was a nice sunny day but …

Today was awesome. It was the first day my mother was off work since we’ve been home and we went shopppinnnng! Xander got some new clothes, my mom got a really nice wine colored leather jacket and I got a digital camera! (Ok it’s Xander’s too but I’ll use it way more than he will!) It’s our anniversary tomorrow and …

Forgiveness is between them and God. It’s my job to arrange the meeting. That’s my favorite line from the movie I saw yesterday (Man on Fire). It’s what Denzel tells an old couple who’s apartment he barged into to use their window to shoot up a bunch of cars after they tell him something about forgiveness. I thought that was …

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!! Today is mother’s day and I got to spend it with my mother for the first time in years. We got up this morning and had a nice breakfast and watched Coronation Street, which she LOVES. I really must admit I liked it more than I imagined I would. In just that one show I found myself …

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEE!! So my last year as a 20 something. I don’t really care.. although who knows maybe I’ll be one of those women who freaks out when I’m about to turn 30. I somehow doubt it though.. but it’s possible, one never knows what I’m going to freak out about. It’s sunny in North Sydney today but …

I’m in Canada, yay!! I’m really tired so don’t know how much I’ll have to say. “Project Baby” was a no-go yet again *Sigh* Everyone who says trying is fun lies.. sex is fun, sex with a purpose other than an orgasm is not. I’m trying not to get too obsessed about it but it gets tiring every month wondering …
