Well I never thought I’d ever say this, but…  I miss WoW.  Argh.. shit! This is the 2nd time over the past number of years that I’ve quit gaming.   The last time was after Star Wars Galaxies and before World of Warcraft. I had quit gaming completely for about 10 months and then was lured back by a friend who was …

Right so I’ve been working at this call center again for the second time and just finished my first week of work.   It’s been a learning experience and I’m happy to say the atmosphere there is much better than it was a few years ago. I learned a few things about being an outbound (telephone surveys) call center agent this …

I went to see this movie today with friends.   About 10 minutes into it I was wondering if I was going to be able to sit through the whole thing.   I love psychological thrillers and horror movies but not when they go out of their way to be gorey.  I’m sure there are people who love the gore and would …

How do you not giggle when saying that?  It was almost as bad as the time I had to call a guy named John Holmes and none of my co-workers understood why I found it so funny. I did manage to get through the call without laughing, but I came very close at the end of the call when I …

I’ve been feeling so great lately about being out working and feeling ‘normal’ again… but there is one thing I forgot about.   That feeling when the weather is absolutely crap and you have to get up and go out in it to go to work.  Gone are the days of staying home under a blanket on cold rainy days. Yesterday …

With a Little Faith is actually the title of a book.  It’s written by the owner of the only bi-pedal dog in the world.  Meaning, the only dog in the world who walks upright on her two hind legs. My husband showed me a video of the dog last night and my first reaction wasn’t so great.   He thought it was …

This is Sherman, yet another addition to our little family :) For a long time, ever since 2004 which was the first time I was petsitting for Staci & Chris and their two beautiful basenji babies Gus & Ike, I’ve wanted to get a tortoise.  That probably doesn’t make much sense, but during that time I also looked after Daisy.  She belonged …

This week’s theme is Memory.  I went through a few different ideas before choosing a photo.  Good memory, bad memory, scary memory, funny memory… I ended up going with a memory that gives me all of those feelings. My wedding day.  The day I literally married my best friend and the love of my life all rolled into one. May 12, 2000, …

I got home this evening at about 7:30 from my training day at work.  Having gotten there at 9am, it was a long day for me.   I call it a training day but it was more of a sit and re-learn stuff I already knew day… which made it sort of boring at times. It was still dark when I …

It’s off to work I go… Yeah, work.  Something I haven’t seen much of since I’ve been living in the Netherlands.  Partly by choice but mostly due to an utter lack of options. It’s been almost 3 years since I had a job, and even then it was only for a few months.  The last time I had proper employment …

This is how we started ringing the New Year this year.  Looking through a rainy window wondering if we want to go outside or not. It wasn’t freezing cold like the last few years, it was actually surprisingly warm (about 11 degrees Celsius), but it looked generally nasty outside. I was so disappointed… the fireworks is one of the things …
