I keep thinking of that song Ironic by Alanis Morisette… A few weeks ago a friend was diagnosed with cancer. Being a bazillion miles away (as I usually am when things go on with the people I care about) I thought I’d try to do something nice to let him and his fiance know I was thinking of them. I …

People have “Memes” on their blogs… and I often wonder what “Meme” even means. I just see Me-Me and then I think of Mimi from Drew Carey and then the next time Xander speaks to me I’m dying to say “BITE ME PIG!” Anyway… As promised in the rules of this Mimi, I am posting it on my blog. These …

Today I finally got up the nerve to get my hair cut! It’s been driving me nuts for months and I never wanted to get it cut because it was so long and I knew getting it cut even to what other people consider long would be a drastic change for me. The last while though it’s just been completely …

My husband makes me laugh so much.. I honestly don’t know what I’d do if I was with someone without such a great sense of humor. Well yeah I do, I’d make a point of moving on, as I have in the past with men who had miserable personalities (better late than never, I say). Anyhow, our neighbours must think …

At the request of my friend Lenny (he hates when I call him that), here is my cool new Venus Flytrap plant! Top pic: The plant Middle pic: What’s left after the plant sucks all the goodness out of a fly Bottom pic: Most recent prey Ok it didn’t actually catch the fly in the bottom pic, Xander found it …

Yeah, who knew that beer could get moldy. It was a “You know it’s time to clean up when.. ” moment for me today when I saw a glass on the end table next to my sofa with moldy beer in it. I’ve been so incredibly lazy with my housework lately. My back has only started to feel somewhat normal …

Last weekend I got the coolest plant ever.. a Venus Flytrap! I’ve always wanted one, especially after a friend of mine got one and was saying how cool it was. Last Saturday Xander and I went to the market with a friend and while we were looking at plants there, I mentioned I wanted a Venus Flytrap. Being the kickass …

If any of you out there are religious or have any other kind of spiritual connection .. send a little prayer or voodoo magic the way of my friend Gail and her soon-to-be husband David who are dealing with much bigger issues than tiles and toilets at the moment… Love you guys and we’re thinking about you!

This morning I saw something in my last post that I think could easily be taken the wrong way: … where I come from if you don’t get your license when you turn 16 you’re weird. If you don’t have your own car by the time you are in your 20’s.. you’re just a complete loser. When I re-read that …

So the floor tiles arrived and we went to the store to pick them up. Xander’s friend drove us and he wouldn’t let me get out of the car because of my back. Thoughtful, but in the end a huge mistake. He brought them out to the car and when I looked at them I thought, hey.. these aren’t the …

I was looking online at Netflix and am so jealous that we don’t have it here in NL. I’d totally subscribe if we did! We have a few cheap immitations but nothing that compares at all. I looked up a few different old movies just to see if they had them but they didn’t. I tried titles like The Parent …
