It looks like I’m not the only one who is enjoying the sunny weather again. The cats love laying in the afternoon sun on our diningroom windowsill.

Ok, I’ve never said that particular part of l33t speak before in my life but it suited this post really well.   Yesterday Xander and I went to our friends Penny and Yuri for a BBQ, and what a great time we had! Penny manned the BBQ, Xander kept the conversation going, Yuri took care of the wine and I took …

Yesterday was dooms day.  The day I had to go to the dentist… and what a day it was!   I was so nervous and by 12pm I was sure I was going to be sick. I had my appointment at 12:30pm and after about a 15 minute wait I was brought in by a dental assistant who really didn’t seem …

Ok if I was a god I’d strike down on every person in America who has been voting for Sanjaya.  Every year there’s someone who irritates me that for the life of me I can’t explain why he or she is getting votes.  This year it’s him. The fact that the American voting public are keeping this little bitch on the …

It’s a beautifully sunny day and I’m a happy Canadian.  It’s freezingasscold back in a lot of parts of Canada so on my way into town to see some friends I’m going to be giving a big NYA NYA to my old countrymates as I walk along in my summer jacket. NYA NYA Canadians, NYA NYA! Before I leave, I …

This guy cracks me up.

Tandarts means Dentist in Dutch, and I’m just as afraid of both.  On Thursday afternoon I have my 2nd dentist appointment since I’ve been living in the Netherlands (almost 8 years).   I’m scared because I just downright hate the dentist, but I’m also scared because the first dentist I saw was a total quack.   Plus, having only seen a dentist …

Ok one of these two women is going to win American Idol this year. It’s hard to say which one because they are both really good, but I’m positive it will be one or the other.   There are other good people this season but none come even close to these two. To be perfectly honest, other than Blake (the guy …

I’ve finally dug out the sampler quilt I started making in my quilting class oooooh 1.5 years ago.  I had finished all the blocks but they were just tucked away in a drawer waiting for me to do something with them.   Since I quit work recently I figured this would be a great time for me to get it done! …

I forgot to post the video I made last week at the beach.  You can see why we rarely let Bailey off his lead.  He’s a yorkie but I think he truly believes he’s a Doberman or a Rottweiler.     We’d love to be able to have him loose to run and play but he just can’t be trusted.   When …

Well after a lot of thought this weekend and a lot of discussing it with hubby, I decided to stop working at the call center.   The work was just far too unpleasant and while I loved working again and meeting people at work, the job itself just wasn’t worth it. I didn’t quit full on.  That’s the beauty of that job, …
