Project Home Reno is a go. We’ve sucessfully stripped every scrap of wallpaper from our apartment, Xander has sanded the door/window frames and I am in the process of painting them white. Soon there will be no more pink!! I just sit in the livingroom now, looking at the door frame leading to the hall and it’s a nice clean …

Couldn’t think of another title for this blog, so I picked 00-Simms (Double O Simms) because I’m watching First Kid on TV. The character in the movie played by Sinbad calls himself that. I know it looks like a ridiculous movie, and it is, but there’s something enjoyable about it as well. I must have seen it four times already …

I saw this on a forum I frequent and thought it was totally blog-worthy. **************** I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their heads and women with their hearts. FOR …

Today I had my last two exams (toets) for this part of my Dutch course and I’m so glad it’s over. I really hate tests! I think I did really well on luisteren (listening), schrijven (writing) and lezen (reading), but my spreken (speaking) was a NIGHTMARE. I’ve already said that but I just wanted to complain about it a little …

Whoo Hoo Janay is gone!! *coughs* Just had to get that out of my system. Moving on! Another week of American Idol gone by and once again I’m disappointed in the American voters. They did alright though, I only disagree with one of the four they voted off this week. With the four gone, we are left with the final …

So tired.. Had my first two of four exams today, listening and speaking. Listening was a breeze but speaking was a nightmare.. I really am quite worried about how that one went. I hate the way they do it, if they are going to test how we speak Dutch why not just have a conversation with us. They give us …

Today I had the absolute misfortune of watching the show Fat Actress with Kirstie Alley. Perhaps the fact that I’ve never liked her as an actress played a part in my disgust with this show, because she has come off as whiney and psychotic in pretty much every role she’s ever played. I think even if it had been someone …

Naw I’m not giving out kisses but if you saw me you’d probably think I was. Not sure what I came in contact with over the last day or so but for some reason my lips are all swollen and itchy. It would seem I’m allergic to something, no idea what though. I look like an Angelina Jolie wannabe…. I …

I love Fridays so much.. Don’t have to worry about what time I go to bed because I can sleep however much I want to the next day. Two whole days before I have to go to school again… love it, love it, love it! It’s been snowing here for the past three days or so and in some spots …

Another week of Idol is said and done, and I must say I’m disappointed with you AMERICA!! What horrible taste you all have! This week’s eliminations were: David Brown – Understandable but sad to see him go. Joseph Murena – Was only a matter of time, he sucks. Celena Rae – Meh, no loss. Aloha Mischeaux – WTF?! Who the …

I was laying in bed this morning at about 3:40 am thinking how badly I needed to pee. Each morning I take my temperature (basal body temp) to keep a chart of my cycle to help with our monthly pregnancy attempts. This has to be done at exactly the same time every day and even the tiniest little thing can …
